The question was... would it all be worth it?
Was the love I had for Creed strong enough that I could deal with everything that came with being with him, including the what if’s. What if something happened to him? What if he was killed?
“What’s going on inside that head of yours? You’ve been quiet for quite some time now.”
There would be no way to sugarcoat this. Not that I’d ever really been good at doing that. “I was just thinking about my choices right now. If I choose to not do this with you, then I would go back to a life I’m familiar with and know how to live. If I stay with you, then who knows what lies ahead of us. There will be all of these outside elements I’d have to deal with now, the worst one being... what if something happens to you? What becomes of my life then? I won’t be able to go back to my old life. It’s just... I know I’m babbling, but I can’t help thinking about all of that.”
Leaning in closer, he pulled my chin up, and I sunk into his eyes. “It is a lot to take in, I know, but I give you my word that I will do everything possible to keep your life as normal as it is now. I’ve worked very hard to keep my identity a secret for just that reason, I didn’t want to give up all the normalcy in my life. I wanted to be able to come and go without issue, and I won’t say it hasn’t come in handy more often than not. Plus, I’m able to make decisions without the threat of being discovered. It’s something that has allowed me to be more clearheaded, and precise with my strategies.”
“But someone’s getting close and possibly knows who you are now.”
He took my hands in his, giving them a squeeze. “If someone really knew who I was, I would be dead right now instead of in this most beautiful place with you. Trust me when I say many have tried to find out my identity and many have failed.”
Deep in my heart, I knew I was already all in for wherever life took me with him, be it good or bad, but my mind just wouldn’t shut up with all the possibilities that could arise. He was right, though, we were here in this beautiful place, and this would be the first step in immersing myself in his life completely, and trust that he would keep us safe. “I trust you to keep me safe.”
Moving in closer, his lips met mine in a passionate kiss, his mouth, showing me his gratitude without words, and it was the best thing I’d ever felt. Leaning away, he placed his hands on my shoulders. “What do you say to getting out of here and taking a drive into town to do some shopping and then have lunch?”
“Just when I think I couldn’t love you more, you go and throw shopping, and lunch into the mix.”
The huge grin on his face said it all. “So, you love me, huh?”
Telling someone you were falling for them was light years different than telling them you were there, fully in love with them. We had already said the words earlier, but for some reason saying them again made everything feel even more real.
“Clarice?”
Looking up at him, I could see he was laughing at me. “Why are you laughing at me?”
He simply shook his head and took my face in both of his hands, pulling me in for a chaste kiss. “I love you, my little vixen.”
I couldn’t help the blush that colored my cheeks. I was happy. “You sure?”
“You wouldn’t be here and know what you do about me if I didn’t.”
The grin that cut through my lips couldn’t be hidden. I loved him and he loved me. We were starting a life together and I couldn’t have been happier. Wrapping my arms around his neck, I pushed forward and took him down to the sand, kissing him like I’d never kissed any man before.
Once we’d gotten done with our long hot shower, that had me feeling very relaxed after the two orgasms he’d given me, he wrapped us up in towels and guided me into the bedroom. “Wait. I have nothing to wear. Do you have something I can put on until we go shopping?”
He moved over to the closet, opening the doors. “I’d have to disagree with you on that. You have a whole closet full of clothes here.”
Surprised didn’t even cover it. Stepping into the walk-in closet, that looked like a whole other room, I scanned all the clothes that hung before me. Running my hand over them, I looked at what had to have been thousands of dollars of top brand-named clothes. I spotted Chanel, Gucci, Prada, Dior, Hermès, and Dolce just in the few pieces I looked at. “These are for me? How?”
“For you. I know that body of yours so well, guessing your size was easy. Try something on.”
Turning to face him, I reached out and hugged him. “I can’t believe you did this. Thank you.”
“Anything for my queen.” He slapped me on the ass. “I’m going to my closet to get changed. Meet you in thirty. Dress casual.”
I watched him walk out of the closet, leaving me alone with all the beautiful clothes to choose from.
Casual?
Mycloset was packed with casual. This closet was filled with anything but.
After ten minutes of perusing, I picked out a really cute pair of black, capri pants and paired them with a cream-colored Micro shirt, and some black, flat sandals. I grabbed a cream-colored, light sweater just in case I got cold. The weather wasn’t cold, but it wasn’t too warm out today either. Opening the drawers, I found the softest bras and underwear. Very sexy bras, and underwear I might add with a few other scandalous outfits, I’d definitely be wearing for him later.
My Devil did good.
Noticing there was a corner, I hadn’t gone in, I found a make-up vanity. Opening the drawers, I again was pleasantly surprised by some of the most expensive brands of make-up. He’d really thought of everything. Twenty minutes later, I was dressed, having added some mascara and lip-gloss. Putting my hair up in a ponytail, I took a final look in the mirror.
