“You like that?” I ask her.
She nods. “I love the blue one. It’s my favourite colour, but you already know that.” It’s good to know that hasn’t changed. “Do you think we could buy one of these for Aria, Riley, Charlotte and Steph?” she asks.
“Of course we can.”
She digs around in her purse, but I hold out my hand to stop her. “What are you doing?” I ask.
“Searching for the money to pay.”
“I have enough here to buy them all.”
She arches an eyebrow at me. “I have my own money, Toby.”
“You do? When did you do that?”
“After you left for work yesterday, I had some time so I took some money out of my savings account and transferred it.”
“Well that kinda ruined the surprise.”
“It did? I’m sorry, I guess I didn’t want you to feel like you were paying for the entire trip.”
“While that’s very sweet of you, I have everything for this trip sorted and then some. I just wanted you to relax, not stress and enjoy a break.”
She leans up on tiptoe and presses her lips to mine. “You’re so sweet.”
I stand blinking at her like an idiot as she looks back down at the necklaces and chooses some for my sister, Riley, niece and Steph.
“Do you think they’ll like them?” she asks as I pay for them.
“They’ll love them.”
And I love you.
Sasha
Toby goes quiet during lunch at the Hard Rock Café and I’m not really sure why. He perks up a little more at the Aquarium. I’m hoping he’s just tired.
My favourite exhibits are the penguins and the stingrays; there’s something about the way a stingray swims that makes it look angelic.
“Are you having fun?” Toby asks as we enter the gift shop.
“It’s been awesome, that was cool.”
“What was your favourite bit?”
“Seeing the penguins and their babies; they’re so cool.”
“So penguins are still your favourite animal then?” he asks.
“Yup, that hasn’t changed either.”
He buys me a cool penguin keychain and a necklace, and we make our way to the supermarket before heading back to our hotel.
We purchase all of our groceries and personal items for the week, then head to check in.
“You’re all set to go Mr and Mrs Thompson, we hope you enjoy your stay here at The Riverside Hotel. If there is anything we can do for you during your stay, please let us know. There’s a complimentary bottle of champagne in your room too. Enjoy.” The attendant smiles a little too flirtatiously at Toby not that he notices it.
“Shall we go to our room Mrs Thompson?” he asks. We make our way up to the room and he unlocks the door. “Wait here,” he orders as he takes the bags inside.
The door closes behind him and I’m left feeling like an idiot out in the hall. He comes back moments later and bends to pick me up into his arms.
“What are you doing?” I ask.
“Treating you the way you deserve. So welcome home for the next week, my angel,” he says as he carries me over the threshold of the room and dumps me onto the bed.
He hovers over me before pressing his lips to mine. With heated passion, I pull him flush against me so I can feel his heat. He glides his hands over my body, undoing the buttons on my jacket, then he pulls back.
“Do you want to do this?” he asks.
I can only nod, feeling my body temperature rising higher with need to feel him against me. Skin on skin, nothing else…just us. I need to feel him, to make love to him. I need to show him what I’m feeling right now, because in this moment, I’m bursting with love for him.
He removes his own jacket as I sit up and do the same.
Soon enough, we’re naked together, making love.
As I cry out my orgasm, I have to hold back from screaming the three little words I’ve been desperate to say since the night he took care of me when the brick was thrown through his bedroom window.
This is going to be one hell of a week and I wouldn’t want to do it with anyone else, and by the time it’s over, I’m hoping I’ll have the courage to tell him I love him.
Chapter Twenty-Six
Toby
We spend the next few days looking around local attractions. Sasha asked to do the wildlife experience that we saw when we did the aquarium, which was cool. Seeing her face as she held a Koala made my heart melt.
Today, we’re off to the zoo, which is a boat ride across the harbour, then tonight, if all goes to plan, I’m hoping that she’ll enjoy what I have planned. I’m taking her to dinner and while we are out, I’ve asked the hotel staff to fill the bathtub nice and hot. Scatter it with rose petals, light a few candles—which they said they can’t do, but have a solution for, and to have a glass of champagne awaiting her arrival. She can soak in the tub while I prepare our room for the evening.
I only hope she likes it.
“So are wolves your favourite animals?” Sasha asks, pulling me back to where we are now.
“You remembered that?” I ask, throwing her a grin.
“Of course. I’ve never forgotten unless it’s changed in fourteen years.”
I shake my head. “No, it hasn’t changed but I’m just not as into them as I once was.”
“Good to know. I googled the zoo this morning while you were in the shower and found out there are elephants here, along with tigers, giraffes, koalas and all sorts of other animals.”
“Oh, so that’s what you were doing instead of joining me, huh?”
“I knew if I joined you we would’ve missed this boat.”
“Good call.”
We arrive at the zoo and I’ve already got out tickets for today but I stop and buy us both a hot chocolate. Wandering around the zoo, we see a pelican who takes an unusual liking to Sasha making me laugh.
“See, he likes you. It’s following you.”
I cast a glance over my shoulder and sure enough, the bird is following her.
“It’s creeping me out.”
“Aw, come on, he’s attracted to you. I mean, who wouldn’t be, you’re gorgeous.” She punches me in the arm and I pretend to wince. “You bully, kiss it better.”
She does as we move away from the bird. We spend several hours looking around the zoo and finally make our way back to the hotel to change for dinner.
I’ve gone all out tonight, even packing a suit.
I dress in our room while she uses the bathroom.
As I’m sliding on my suit jacket, Sasha exits the bathroom. My mouth dries, my heart skips a few beats and my cock well. He has a goddamned mind of his own and right now, doesn’t want to leave this room and would rather be buried between her luscious legs.
“Wow,” I breathe as she walks over to me.
The dress is a royal blue over the shoulder number that criss-crosses at her stomach, showing just a little skin.
“You don’t look so bad yourself.” She smiles, coming over to me.
“That dress makes me want to do dirty things to you.”
She spins around and I see it hugs all her curves in all the right places, even showing off her fantastic ass.
“You like?” she asks.
“I love.”
“So where are you taking me?” she asks.
“It’s a little corny but we’re going to the Hard Rock Café on Darling Harbour.”
“It’s not corny. I can’t wait to try it out. By the way, I love the suit; did you borrow it from James?” she asks.
I shake my head. “Nope. I had Steph come around and make it for me.”
“I love the navy blue on you; it reminds me of your uniform.” The wicked look in her eyes tells me I’m definitely getting laid tonight, but I want to play a game with her first.
I hold out my arm for her. “Shall we get going?”
She slides her hand into my arm and we leave the room.
We walk down
to Darling Harbour, across the bridge, and find the Hard Rock Café. I know it’s nothing fancy, but they have great food. Sitting down, we pick up our menus.
“There’s nothing on here I really want to eat,” Sasha says.
“Sorry, I thought you’d like this place.” Sasha leans over and slides her hand up my thigh, squeezing just a little as she goes reaching right up to my groin. “I meant I’m not hungry for food. That suit is doing things to me.”
I gulp as she slides her fingertips over the zip of my pants. Gripping her wrist, I have to stop her before I literally pick her up, put her on this table and fuck the living day lights out of her. I won’t say I don’t want that, but I’m not into exhibitionism. The only one I want seeing her naked is me.
“Angel, stop. I’m already horny as hell.”
She arches a brow at me whilst giving me a naughty grin. She knows she turned me on. She sits back in her seat as our drinks are brought over and we place our orders.
She takes a sip of her drink, staring at me over the rim of her glass.
“You look like you have a giant stick up your ass, are you okay?” she asks.
“I’m fine, absolutely fine; just regretting booking dinner right now.”
She laughs. “You’ll get to see what I’m wearing beneath this soon enough.”
I groan. “Don’t tease me.”
“I’m not. I promise you’re going to love it.”
Dinner takes what feels like forever to be over, with Sasha teasing me when eating, licking and sucking the sauces on her plate off her fingers. Fuck, I’m not going to hold out until we get back to the hotel room if she keeps it up.
Squeezing her hand, I literally run back to the hotel with her.
As we reach our floor, there’s no one around and I turn, scoop her into my arms and carry her to the room. She pulls out her room key and opens the door.
“Toby,” she gasps as we step into the room. The hotel staff outdid themselves. “This is beautiful.”
Sasha
The room is full of candles—well, fake candles just in case of a fire; there are rose petals and several bouquets of roses around the room too. My eyes gaze into the bathroom, rose petals scattered there as well with a tub full of water and bubbles. There’s a glass of wine on the side of it.
“Did you organize all this for me?” I ask, turning back to Toby.
“I did. I just wanted tonight to be romantic.”
“Toby, this is very romantic.” I slide my hands beneath his jacket and push it from his shoulders which he lets drop to the floor. I then start on the buttons of his shirt. “Are you joining me in the tub?” I ask.
He closes his eyes as I kiss every revealed piece of skin before removing his shirt from his pants and taking it off.
“I’ll join you.”
I stop what I’m doing, take his hand and lead him into the bathroom. He removes the remainder of his clothes and slides into the tub while I begin to remove my dress, revealing to him the sexy, silky lingerie I put on. He leans back in the tub and I see his cock standing at full attention.
“Do you want to know my surprise?” he asks as I slip into the water with him and sit between his legs as he wraps his arms around me.
“What is it?”
“We’re going to play a game of spin the bottle.”
“You mean the game that we played the night we first met?”
“Uh-huh,” he croons in my ear as his thumbs rub over my nipples.
I gasp as he teases me.
“Why?”
“Well, I thought we could play and talk.” He moves his hand over my belly, making the fire between my legs burn stronger.
Please just touch me.
“But it seems we’ll be having sex first,” he says as he brushes his fingertips over my clit, then down my pussy.
“Fuck. Please,” I beg him as he massages my legs.
I slide my hand around my back to touch him.
“No baby, this is all for you.”
I stop touching him when he consumes my thoughts with his hand toying with my clit as he slides his fingers inside me while his other hand plays with my nipple: squeezing and tugging.. He drives me crazy. Feeling him drive me wild makes my orgasm all the more sweeter and satisfying. His fingers are magic as I feel my orgasm roll over me. I arch into him, leaning my head on his shoulder as I come like a wild beast in heat. My entire body shakes as I let wave after wave of pleasure wash over me.
Leaning back against him, panting hard, I say, “Holy fucking hell. That was amazing.”
“There’s more where that came from, beautiful, but for now I want you to relax in this tub, drink the wine and I’ll be waiting for you when you get out.”
“Wait, where are you going?” I ask as he gets out of the tub and grabs a towel.
“Don’t panic, I’m not leaving you. I’ve got a couple of things to sort through.”
He leans down to place a kiss on my lips, the three words I’m dying to tell him are resting on my tongue, waiting to be said. He exits the bathroom before I can speak them. Leaning back in the bathtub, I grab my wine glass and take a sip.
Damn it. I can’t relax in here. Not when he’s out there all alone. He’s left me needing more.
Toby
Sasha exits the bathroom, wearing only a towel about ten minutes after I got out.
I’m lying on the bed with an empty wine bottle, sipping my own glass.
“You really want to play spin the bottle?” she asks, crawling onto the bed.
“I do.”
“Why?”
“Because I want a way to connect with you. I feel like everything I know about you is still from the past and like I’m stuffing everything up because I don’t really know you. I want to get to know the woman you are now, not the teenage girl I knew.”
She inhales. “So it’s going to be like a question game with kissing in between?”
“Precisely. For example, you used to love liquorice, Allsorts, but now I don’t even know,” I tell her.
“Okay, I’m down for this, but first I’ve got to top up my wine.”
“I’ll do it.” I get off the bed and pour her another, then re-join her on the mattress. She takes a sip of the drink. “Are you warm enough?”
“I am. And for the record, I still love my liquorice.” I smile as I roll the bottle towards her and she takes it giving it a spin. Tonight is going to be fun. Sure enough it lands perfectly on me. “So, do I get to kiss you now or later?”
“Once I answer the question.”
“So my question is…do you drink more than beer? Back then, that’s all you drank.”
“I still drink beer but over the years I developed a taste for whiskey.” She leans forward and places a kiss on my lips. “What about you?”
“Well, I’m more of a wine girl myself and you cheated so I get another spin.”
“How did I cheat?”
“You didn’t spin the bottle.” She giggles. I grab the bottle and give it a spin. Surprisingly it lands between us. “I think that means you don’t get to ask a question, but get to have a little fun instead.”
“Are you suggesting a kinky game as well as questions? Miss Reeves, who knew you were a very naughty teacher.”
“I’ll show you just how naughty I can be.”
She wrestles her way over to me on her knees and I take her glass from her hand and place it onto the nightstand. By the time I turn back around, she’s straddling me, the towel up around her hips, exposing her perfectly shaved pussy for me. I’ll sure as hell lick her until she screams my name in pleasure.
I tug the towel down over her breasts, revealing her sexy tits to me. I lick my lips before licking her perky nipples, giving them both attention as she whimpers above me. I lick and suck them just until she’s on the edge of being driven mad and then stop.
“Why are you stopping?” she whimpers.
“We need to get back to our game.” Grabbing the bottle, I spin it again. “What sort
of music do you listen to?”
“Um, well, as you know, I used to listen to things like Britney Spears and teen pop. Now, I’m still a fan of Christina Aguilera but I don’t really have a favourite; just whatever is on.”
She picks up the bottle and gives it a spin. Much like mine, it doesn’t land on me and she kisses my mouth before kissing her way down my torso as her hands worm their way into my towel and opens it. “Sasha, stop. There’s plenty of time for this.”
“But I want to. You gave me pleasure.” She pouts up at me.
“I know, but I want take this game seriously. Then, I promise you can pleasure me.”
She sighs. “Okay, but I get to give you the best blowjob ever.”
“Every blowjob you give me is amazing.” Spinning the bottle, she gets off of me and it points to her. “Is Royal blue still your favourite colour?”
She nods. “It is, but navy is close behind it.”
I chuckle. “The suit really did do things to you.”
“And that uniform you wear.”
“You’ve always loved my uniform.”
She spins the bottle and it lands on me. “Do you still love blueberries?”
“You remembered that they’re my favourite fruit, and yes, I do still love them. One more question.” I throw her a cheeky grin. Spinning the bottle, I look at her and give her a slow burning stare as the bottle slows to a stop.
“Are you in love with me?”
Sasha
I gasp at his question as his eyes burn into mine.
“Yes,” I say clearly, loudly so he can hear it. “Yes, I’m in love with you.”
I move over to him where he rips the towel off my body and drops it onto the floor while he rolls me onto my back.
“I love you too. Thank you for doing that for me tonight.”
“I’d do anything for you.” I reach up, sliding my hand around his neck and pull him to me, making our lips meet. He slides his hands up my body as I open my legs wide for him. I need this and him tonight.
