“Yes Grandfather,” Stefano replied before stepping up to her, wrapping her in his arms with the softest and gentlest of kisses. “Please forgive me for teasing you beautiful,agape mou.”
“Don’t I always, my love?” she said seeing the smile that slipped onto Elena’s face hearing the endearment come from Stefano’s lips.
“Yes, but I should not do so now, you deserve nothing but my absolute purest adoration.”
“You spoil me Stefano. How am I to ever remain angry with you in the future when you spoil me so much?”
“I dare say you’ll find a way to yell at me for behaving Greek, but I will always find a way back into your good side, your heart long before we sleep for the night. Tears and anger will never enter into our room and remain,” he said softly kissing her lips as the others watched with smiles.
“Have a wonderful trip my sweet Hailey, Stefano,” Elena said hugging them both when they parted. “I know you will come home with smiles.”
“Be good to my girl Stefano,” Thomas added kissing her cheek. “You have started well.”
“Dad,” she said as her cheeks burned bright.
“It is the best thing a father can know, a mother too,” Leann said, holding her hand for an extra moment after a long hug. “Now before you go…Gina made sure to pack the photos from yesterday and said you wanted them for the house, is there anywhere you wanted them?”
“The library, there’s an empty bookshelf where I think they’ll fit well and the ones that were at your tables along the fireplace,” Hailey stated, and Stefano nodded in agreement.
“Mine will be going in my study, the perfect reminder of the first true moment of fatherly love which I hope to soon experience for myself,” Stefano said making the group smile more letting them leave on their trip with no further delays.
Chapter 15
“S
ad to be leaving your island behind?” Stefano asked as he dropped a kiss onto Hailey’s supple lips. They were slightly swollen from his lovemaking not even an hour ago, but he couldn’t resist her, especially not after their three weeks together on the island.
“I cannot believe you bought this entire place for us,” she said leaning her head against his shoulder as they went to board the small watercraft that would take them out to the yacht, which would then take a day to reach the main island to get a plane home. They’d chosen to stay on the island longer rather than sail the yacht home to have more privacy and they’d loved every minute of it.
“For you, it is yours and yours alone, but I hope you will never tell me to leave,” he stated holding her close. He hated being separated from her for long, especially knowing they were going home where she would have to remain clothed during the days. The Caribbean sun had been kind to her, giving her a soft glow from head to toe, then again, the glow might have to do with how often he had made love to her.
“Be on the island alone or be there with you…I wonder which I would choose,” she teased earning a kiss from him as the captain of the craft averted his eyes.
Stefano lifted her into his arms as they went to board the yacht, not entrusting her safety to anyone but himself. He had thought marrying her would lessen his need to protect her, but instead he now worried about her twice as much. He refused to allow anything to happen to her, to chance losing her now.
He kept his arms around her as they got underway, pressing soft kisses to her face as the sun began to set.
They dined under the stars and slipped down to their cabin, not leaving it until late the next morning. He lounged about with her on the deck keeping her shaded from the intense rays of the sun as she snuggled into his hold. “You look beautiful my darling.”
“Thank you, it’s not hard to when you’ve made me so happy. It was the perfect honeymoon Stefano. An island to ourselves to indulge in whatever we wished…you truly have spoilt me.”
“No more than you deserve for taking me on,” he replied unable to stop from running his hands through her silky tresses. “Monday will be torture. There is likely to be hundreds upon thousands of emails to go through.”
“Who was is that decided on a full electronic ban for the last three weeks? It wasn’t me, Husband,” she teased earning a full hot kiss as he rolled her onto her back, his leg pressing between her thighs reminding her how physical he was with everything he did. At one time, it might have scared or worried her, but now, it simply ignited her fully, made her want him more.
“I did I know, but between making love to you and work, I will always choose you my darling.”
“We are twenty minutes outside of port, Mr. Jordan,” a steward said interrupting them earning a hard glare from Stefano.
“It is his job to tell us Stefano, do not take your anger out on the poor boy,” Hailey said watching him scurry away quickly. “Had you taken me below an hour ago as I requested, we would both be quite sated right now.”
“And allow our entire crew to know how much you crave my body? No, they and everyone else should still believe you are quite innocent,agape mou.”
“Surely you do not think anyone would believe me to be innocent after returning from a three-week honeymoon with you Stefano, three weeks on our private island no less.”
“There is innocent and theninnocentmy darling, though you are no longer the second you are still extremely near to the first. You still blush when I admire your body for too long whilst naked and that is the innocence, I speak of what I never wish for you to lose.”
“So, you’re saying I still love like an innocent?” she asked recalling his words from when his brother was in the limo with them.
