We make our way back to the hotel to clean up and change for dinner. I want nothing more than a nap, but food is needed. The dining room of the castle is elegant to say the least. The bar itself looks like something out of an old movie. Classic yet antique. It is going to be a lot of fun. We will all have to be on our best behavior for sure. The shower only makes my body more eager for a nap. What is that mess?
I have my makeup on by the time Noah is out. Just a light brush of color on my eyes and cheeks. I step into my dress. The strapless, knee length, backless cocktail dress fits me just right. It pushes my boobs up, pulls in my waist, and the heels I have make my already long legs go for days.
I clean up nicely, for sure. This is the first time Noah will be seeing this dress. I’d gotten it specifically for the castle dinners. Yes, I am totally wearing it again while on this trip, but I don’t care. That suitcase only holds so much.
I am pulling my hair up when his arms wrap around me from behind, his lips pressing to the back of my shoulder.
“You look divine, love.”
“Thank you, handsome.” I turn, pressing up on my tiptoes to place a soft kiss on his lips. He has on black suit pants, a white button down, his tie hanging loosely on each side of his neck. I pull it into place and start tying it for him. “I have to say, you look quite dashing yourself.”
He waits for me to finish his tie before he pulls me back in for another kiss. His warm hand slides under my dress and comes to a halt on my bare back cheek. I have on panties, they just happen to be a very tiny thong. I’m sure I’ll regret it later, but…for now I am gonna have fun teasing him at dinner. I can see what the thought of me bare is doing to him.
I have a feeling if we don’t get out of here soon, we won’t be going anywhere for a while.
God, I love this man.
Chapter19
Brenna
My arms feel like Jell-o, and my back isn't much better. Who knew throwing axes was such a damn workout? It was fun as hell though, and nobody was rushed to the hospital. When I threw that last ax and watched it bounce in the air, I was prepared for the bloody aftermath, but it never came. Score one for team No Accidents.
Today is our last day in Dublin, and we're going to make it count. Waterfalls, good grub, and anything else we can find to get our hands on. I think last night was the most romantic evening I've ever had with Abel. He was a complete gentleman, and we made love on every surface of our room, including the balcony, overlooking the city. It was surreal, and I will cherish it in my heart until the day I die and then even more in the afterlife. Yes, my goofy man can be romantic when he wants to be. He just prefers a little more kink in his sex life, which I'm totally okay with too. I guess staying in a castle will bring out the romance in anybody. If not, you better check your pulse because you're definitely dead inside.
"Good morning, my gorgeous wife. How are we feeling this morning? I got you your coffee, Madame. Extra sugar and creamer, per your request."
Music to my ears. I swear, Mara and I should just open our own coffee shop. Then again, we'd probably drink our business into the ground.
"Thank you, kind sir. Are you ready for another adventurous day? Dublin is amazing, and I'm going to miss it so much. Hell, I'm going to miss all of Ireland. We've gotten to see and do so many unimaginable things, and my heart is so full. We definitely are going to make it a point to come back every couple of years. What do you say? I know Mara would be on board. "
Abel high fives me like we just scored the winning goal. I guess that means he's on board. I know he loves it here just as much as I do. He hasn't stopped admiring the matching Claddagh rings we got in a cute little shop yesterday. We went for simple ones without stones in the middle, as they suit us better.
"Let's get ready and go get Fred and Ethel. We have about an hour's drive to Wicklow Mountain. I hear Powerscourt Waterfall is well worth the drive. Then we can come back and catch a quick nap before the Ghostbus tour tonight. I'm hoping for big things from that tour. Like Mara peeing herself. It's become my mission of the day."
Abel looks at me and just shakes his head. He may be a goofy fucker, but Mara's and my antics still bewilder him from time to time. It keeps him and Noah wondering what the hell brings on these thoughts we have, which is hilarious in itself.
The drive to Powerscourt was oddly quiet but very peaceful too. Anytime there's no bickering amongst the four of us is a serene moment. Ireland just keeps surprising me in the most magnificent ways possible. The Powerscourt Estate, which the waterfall flows through, is breathtaking. I'm sure you think the castle we've been staying in can't be topped? Well, you'd be slightly correct, but damn. This place is definitely in my top five most magical places I've ever laid my eyes on.
"Holy shit, Walt Disney! This place is straight out of Snow White and the seven dwarves. Look at all the deer and squirrels! Oh my god, Noah, it's heavenly!"
Mara is going tothatplace. A place where she gets overly excited and sometimes hyperventilates, causing her to hiccup horrendously. It's a whole dramatic vibe, let me tell ya. Just when I see the dramatics unfolding in front of my eyes, another mishap is being laid out. A bird flies over Abel and shits on his shoulder. I just stare as it runs down the front of his shirt. I can't make this shit up, people. No pun intended.
"Dude! Seriously? This is your fault, Snow White! You called on your animal friends to scheme against me. That's an unfair advantage, sister."
Even Noah can't help but laugh at his ridiculous brother. Then there's Mara, who's in full hiccup mode in between laughing. Having been handed the serene beauty of this estate and Abel getting shit on, it was just too much for her to hold in. I hand her a bottle of water from my bag, hoping that may help a little.
"Come on, husband. What do you say we go buy you a new shirt in the gift shop? We'll catch up with you two at the waterfall. Stay on the trail if you want to live. Mara should know this from all the horror movies I make her watch with me. Kisses, lovebirds."
Look at me adulting and shit! Helping solve Abel's shirt dilemma and giving life or death advice to Mara and Noah. See? I can be an adult if Ihaveto. We find the gift shop, and Abel lets me pick out a shirt for him because he's too busy picking out handmade fudge and bonbons. Lord have mercy. It's like he's a pregnant woman with sweet cravings or me on any day of the week. Let's be honest.
"Let's get out of here before you start eating everything on display. Here's your shirt, by the way. Just remember, you gave me consent to choose one for you."
Abel is glaring at me, knowing this probably means I set him up in some way. He'd also be undeniably correct in assuming that.
"Really, B?I wee for waterfalls…Powerscourt Waterfall. Hell, it's better than walking around with shit on my shoulder. Let's roll. I'd like to see the waterfall I wee for before it's dark."
I mean, it is a genius slogan. Anytime I hear running water, it makes me have to go, so I get it. The walk up to the waterfall is beautiful. Lots of trees, flowers, and the occasional deer, squirrel, and bird. Abel cusses and threatens any bird he sees. They seem to understand his threat and leave him alone.
