Two and a half hours later,I exit the wellness center with a body that is relaxed from top to bottom.
I smirk as I brush my hands over my new outfit—a leather skirt above the knee with a lace button-up shirt with low cleavage. Since Cole surprised me with a spa treatment, I wanted to dazzle him. So when I walked in for my appointment, I called Amanda and explained to her what I was looking for. She laughed and told me she would send someone to bring it over ASAP.
My attention falls on Cole, who's casually leaning against the wall. My body tingles under his roaming eyes. But I do the same since he changed into a casual outfit. A white dress shirt on top of well-fitting blue jeans—sexy as fuck. I watch his hand dive into the pocket of his jeans. With an indisputable cocky grin, he reveals and dangles the black-silk tie from this morning between his fingers.
I let him blindfold me for the second time, and my heart races in anticipation of what is to come.
"You look stunning. Let's go beautiful."
He places a kiss on the top of my nose before guiding me away. As we walk, I try to focus on where we are, but when Cole spins me around, I lose my orientation.
"Stop trying to figure out where we're going."
I grin. This devilish man knows me too well. Inside the elevator, he wraps his strong arms around my waist. The door opens, and he leads me further.What has he planned?I bite my lips at the sound of a key turning. Again, he guides and I follow.
Suddenly I get welcomed by a warm, fresh breeze brushing along my body—we're outside.
"Cole, where are we?"
"Are you ready for your other surprise?"
"Hmm… does it have to do with you getting naked?"
He chuckles. "Naughty, Alex."
"A girl can hope, can’t she?"
"Okay, little minx, stay here."
A few moments later, his voice returns, but it's coming from somewhere else.
"When I've counted to three, you can remove your blindfold."
"One… Two..."
I shift my weight back and forward.
"Three."
I shift the silky fabric up and blink a few times to let my retinas adjust to the sunlight. But when I see where I am, I gasp while covering my mouth with my hand as I stare at the voluminous amount of white sand covering a substantial part of the terrace. And that is not all. A four-poster bed with red silk bed linens stands against the wall of his apartment. Ruby colored pillows decorate the headboard, and the leaves of two giant palm trees placed on both sides cast a soft shadow over the sheets.
Cole is standing barefoot next to a romantically laid out round table. It has a white linen tablecloth, two wine glasses, a bottle of wine in a wine cooler, and two delicious-looking salads on display.
"How did you do this?" I ask as I walk over to him.
"I asked Bella and Emma what it is you like. They told me you love the beach, but that you don't feel safe there since the incident. So instead of taking you to the sea for a romantic lunch, I brought the beach to you."
"Cole, this is..."
He grabs my hand, lifts it, and places his warm lips on my knuckles. His eyes never leave mine. "This is my gift to you. My way of saying thank you. So step out of those sexy heels and come onto the private Walker beach."
I cock a brow. "Private Walker beach, huh? Why not McQueen beach? It has a better ring to it."
He smirks. "My house, my beach, and my rules." He squats and touches my shoes. "Let’s take these off."
God, this man has no clue what he's doing to me. I lift my feet alternately and chuckle at the tickling sensation as I plant my bare soles back on the white sand. Cole stands up and his blue orbs burn into mine.
"Today, we're relaxing with food, drinks, and each other."
