She stood up and he helped put on the blessed dress that Gisele had no idea where it came from, James shrugged, then turned and grabbed a coat.
- obtuse and controller? - He laughed.
- Yes!
Gisele let him wear it hoping it would calm the controlling side of him that had been on since they left London.
- I'm just being pragmatic, my beautiful ...
- Where are we?
He bent down, putting on a sneaker on her. Gisele frowned and looked down waiting for an answer, James, however, was more focused on the task. When he stood up he took her face in his hands and smiled.
- We're not in San Francisco!
Shit ... Gisele thought and tensed, tried to disguise it, because she continued to see James calm.
- Lied?
- Couldn't you spoil the surprise?
- What a surprise? She asked suspiciously.
- Surprise!
James hugged her and gave her a tender kiss, distracting her, then picked her up and pulled a surprised little cry from her.
- Blackcastle! - She tapped him on the shoulder. - Put me down ...
- No, I like you here, in fact, I think I love having you in my lap.
Gisele's face immediately went crimson as soon as they left the cabin and headed towards the stairs, the crew was no longer there, however, when they went down to the airport courtyard, a good range of people were seen who were watching them with curiosity. Of course, the Baron of Blackcastle didn't care about any of that, he kept making his way with her in his arms.
- For God's sake, James. I can walk!
She buried her face in his neck and felt the vibration of his laughter.
- Let's give some entertainment dear ...
- Go use another one for entertainment, Blackcastle!
They went to a single-engine plane, just there, James left her standing on the stairs. Gisele entered suspiciously, the crew was already on board.
- Commander, we can go!
Said the Baron loudly and earning a serious look from Gisele.
- Where the hell did you bring me and where are we going now?
- Stop using my expressions ... - He feigned bad mood. - Sit down - put your belt on, let's take off.
She obeyed, watching the space. It was a clearly private aerial vehicle, adapted for four passengers comfortably and more crew, which disappeared from Gisele's vision.
- You didn't answer me ... - She said.
James sat down next to her, buckling his belt, then taking her hand and wrapping it in his.
- It's a surprise ... - He said with a smile.
- I don't like surprises ...
- Swear? - He kept his smile. - I think you will like this, particularly, I am very good at making surprises!
James held that golden green gaze, wishing he could make that "surprise" a real reality, something that wasn't everything was more for an escape. Just for a moment the silence remained between them as the plane took off.
- You couldn't have told me you wanted to surprise London.
- I would lose my grace! - Said shrugging.
- Really, James?
Gisele raised her eyebrow and held the man's blue gaze, however, he didn't hesitate, kept that facade quiet and once again she had the feeling that either the man was a big liar, or spoke the truth.
- Of course, what other reason could there be?
The Baron returned the question, but inside he was feeling exposed, as if Gisele had taken off that fake cover that hid everything most horrible that existed in him.
- I don't know, but I have the impression that there may be something.
- Forget it, there is no ... - He approached, touched her face with the tips of his fingers, staring into her eyes. - I said it was complicated, didn't I?
Gisele swallowed, keeping his gaze, for a moment she was vulnerable and then it became intense in a way that she couldn't tell how it was possible to identify, she just knew.
- Complication should be your second name ... - She smiled.
- When you smile like that it makes me think you are the most beautiful woman on earth, an angel in the form of a goddess ...
Praises like that should have made Gisele laugh, many men had already said things like that, but they always gave him the impression that it was just a way to get him to bed, however, with James things were getting stronger, he seemed to believe what he was saying is that maybe it was the worst. However, Gisele told herself that the behavior was of a man who was involved and everyone was foolish when they were like that, for this reason words like that had no weight, soon the blind passion would end and she would be discarded, for that reason it was necessary to hurry to start taking everything I could from him.
- Kiss me ... Kiss me, James!
And he kissed her letting everything around him start to get lost, because for James, he had an angel in his arms and he didn't know how he was going to get rid of him, but maybe he didn't have to do that, someone could make that decision for him or simply force it to do that.

Should a man be feared or loved? For the one asking the question, the answer was; Feared!
- Are you going to attack again?
The man to the left of the guy who smoked a cigar asked, but he was slow to answer, he was lost in thought.
- Blackcastle has a mistress ...
- A lover?
The guy left his cigar on the table and got up, walking over to the nearest window. They were on top of a luxury building in central London, the place was too public for anyone to suspect that there was a group of people ready to kill not just one, but several people.
- Yes, I got the information with great difficulty very recently ... Apparently he left London with the bitch!
- So that son of a bitch isn't gay? - Said the other with a laugh.
- Apparently not ... He knows how to hide his secrets well, but I know how to find out!
- Do you know who she is?
- Not yet, but it's a matter of time.
- Are you going to kill her?
The man smiled, took his eyes off the window, then looked at his partner.
- Of course not, I will do something much worse, much ...
Chapter 13
Gisele just couldn't take any more of that mystery. James hadn't opened the damn plane's window on the grounds that he needed to keep the surprise in every way, so he sat next to her leaving her well away from the curtain of the aircraft.
"Christ, can James get this over with by telling me where we're going, since we've been flying for more than twenty-four hours?"
The man closed the book, Iliad, looking at her with an expression between amusement and satisfaction, probably due to her impatience.
- Honey, have you never heard that mystery is the soul of the business?
- Did you know that what you're doing to me can be considered a kidnapping? - His smile widened in response.
- I think I've already been accused of that ... Anyway, I have the best lawyers in Europe ...
Gisele narrowed her eyes and James had to hold back a laugh. She was clearly curious and impatient, slightly irritated, however, all of this helped to make her look even more attractive. He thought that woman would be even more stunningly angry.
- Obviously your sense of protection is not very good!
- Oh neither yours, honey ... Neither yours ...
James said losing some of his humor, but he didn't let it show, he picked up his book and opened it again on the page that stopped, however, Gisele didn't allow it, took it out of his hand and held it in his lap.
- We're not done! - She was emphatic.
- I will not tell where we are going, it took work to prepare a surprise and ruin like that ...
It might not have been a planned surprise, but James was sure that if he had to leave London alone for a strategic escape as it was, he would never have chosen the destination he chose. When he thought about where to go, he imagined what would be safe and romantic to take G
isele, although when he realized the last item of the choice, he was slightly shocked by himself.
- I don't know what to think of you!
And she really didn't know. Gisele knew that the Baron was a totally atypical being and had certain very personal issues that made her mind an attractive mystery to her, however, it also left her a little confused in the situation they were in. He already had it in his “hands”, at least in theory in that lie she created, it was no longer part of the “conquest” to take her on a romantic surprise trip, even more considering the terms of that relationship, which were imposed by Blackcastle himself.
- Thank God? - He said with a smile and Gisele snorted.
- I will have to have a great lie to tell my boss!
- I can solve this, don't worry!
Gisele knew as well as she saw that he could solve anything, after all, money was not lacking it is basically almost all problems money used to heal.
- Will it take long to get to your surprise?
She asked, returning the book to the man. James looked at his watch and mentally did the math on the basis he had previously had from the commander.
- I do not think so! - He looked at her smiling.
"You know, I thought you might be like taking me to another continent to drop me off and get rid of me ..."
She joked, extending her hand and stroking the Baronet's neat hair with the air of a mysterious prince. She did not deny that she liked that noble vein that the subject exhibited in his way of looking, speaking or moving. His smile spread, he became lazier and a little bit malicious, his blue eyes were the purest tranquility, it seemed that he had had the air renewed so many miles from London.
"Don't you think I could have saved myself work just by putting you in a box?"
- Of course, but you are not conventional. - She shrugged. - A few weeks ago you were practically kicking me out of London with your polo stick!
His laughter reverberated throughout the environment, Gisele allowed himself to be appreciated for a moment, it was the first time that she saw him wide open and without any restrictions. Part of her scamming brain stopped and watched over her sunglasses with a smile of pure amusement knowing she had managed to get the gap to fool a “duck”, however, a more prosaic part of her brain thought she would love to see that man at last letting down your barriers and letting her know him for real, but not because of the blow, but because of the fact that Gisele found herself wanting to unravel him.
- Are you citing the day you went to the mansion for the first time?
- Precisely ...
- My sweet angel ... - He leaned towards her, taking her chin. - That day I was really thinking about throwing you on the floor, taking off your clothes and fucking you ...
She swallowed hard at the Baron's heated gaze, licked her lips, feeling suddenly hot.
- How rude of you ... - She whispered, hiding a smile.
- Yes, and I must confess, I've wanted to be very rude to you more than once, in that sense ...
- And why wasn't it?
Those green eyes were the doors to perdition in the best of havens, James was sure, just staring — that woman had the power to leave him bewildered with passion.
- Would you like?
- You'll only know if you try ...
James let out a hoarse groan then pulled her into an excited, uncaring but totally sure kiss to Gisele, who was instantly frustrated to see the Baron walk away when the commander's voice sounded that they would be landing in a matter of minutes.
- We're finally here, honey!
James said, stroking her cheek with a tender smile, but in his eyes there were the remnants of that burning passion his kiss displayed.
- What are you up to at Blackcastle?
- You'll see ... - He said.
As the commander warned them, they made the landing, not so smoothly, but nothing that could be uncomfortable. It took a few more minutes to finally stop and James was already on his feet, he looked very excited, Gisele on the other hand was still a little suspicious, after all that was part of his nature. The Baron led the way, but took her hand on the way, only before reaching the door the man took a wide-brimmed straw hat and a black silk ribbon wrapped around it and placed it on it.
- I don't want the sun to bother you ... - He warned.
- But ...
Gisele didn't even have time to question, he pulled her, so they headed straight for the exit. She adjusted her hat and then at the aircraft door the sun really hit her, descended behind James, taking a second to get used to the light and only after that she found herself surrounded by the sea of intense blue color on all sides.
- Welcome to Bora-Bora Island!
Holy shit! Gisele mentally articulated in front of a boy who received them with that "welcome" and finally let her know that the Baron had taken her to French Polynesia. She looked at James with a mixture of shock and amusement.
- French Polynesian? - She asked.
- Why not? - He returned the question gladly.
- Crazy!
Gisele said giving her a kiss and laughing, until then she had thought the Baron was hiding something, but it was soon lost in her mind. And then it seemed that this time it was she who was passed over.
£££
There was a certain comfort with the Baron that Gisele could not understand. She blinked a few times, turning her attention to the island official she was talking to non-stop while guiding them in a Jeep around the place, which actually had a hotel, being more exact private cottages, which she knew would cost a small fortune.
- We housed them in our best and most private chalet, I bet they'll love it ... - The man said very excited.
- Gisele? James spoke softly, pulling his hand towards his lips. - It's distant, didn't you like the surprise?
He looked anxious from the moment they got into the back of the car.
- No, it's not that, I'm just absorbing ...
And that was it, Gisele was looking at that island, delighted, definitely surprised. No one could say that the Baron did not know how to choose his surprises properly, that was a man who was not afraid to bet, that was clear.
- I spent all this time wondering what it would be like to see you in front of this landscape ...
James didn't lie. He really wanted the woman to enjoy that trip, because he was already enjoying it, to see her in contrast to the landscape was almost ethereal.
"James, I'm beginning to think you're not a bum like you always boast ..." She leaned over, whispering in his ear. - I think he is a romantic, however, with very naughty intentions!
The Baron laughed, but when he left, he already had that pedantic look accompanied by a malicious smile.
- I cheat dear, remember that!
Gisele agreed, refraining from saying that in that game of cheating she had a master's and doctorate. They continued on their way down the stone track until finally a cottage, which was more like a small mansion in glass and rustic wood, appeared on the horizon facing the sea.
- Your residence gentlemen!
His concierge warned, as they opened the vehicle door for both of them, so the Baron went ahead and held out his hand to Gisele, who accepted, going together to the beautiful cottage facing the sea. The image seemed paradisiacal, out of a dream, however, the cool breeze and tropical climate that they felt on their skin, made that feeling of unreality be forgotten. Upon entering where they would be staying, Gisele allowed herself to be evaluated, going to the living room in the best beach style, as the decoration, wooden walls and ceiling covered with pandan leaves and surroundings.
- This place is beautiful! - She exclaimed sitting on the sofa.
James in turn was dispatching the employees, but he soon joined her in the room, looking around with a satisfied smile.
- The rooms have a sea view, I think you will like it even more!
- Where's the luggage? She asked, throwing herself on the comfortable sofa in the living room in pastel colors.
&nbs
p; - Coming ... - James smiled. - Shall we go to the beach?
- What? Now? - She blinked confused. - We didn't even change clothes ...
James shrugged and then started to empty his pants pockets, then started taking off his blue dress shirt, the blazer was long gone before.
- Details dear! - Said giving the least importance to the fact. - I look much better without clothes after all ...
Gisele raised her eyebrow, waiting for the man's next step, as expected, he went shirtless and unsurprisingly did something inside Gisele to squirm at the sight of the manly body.
- You're a smug, you know?
His little smile in the corner with a hint of false innocence made the woman lose the battle in becoming serious.
- I know, but I think you like it.
He approached her, shirtless, bare feet, looking very much like a wildcat going after its prey. Gisele discovered that she loved to see him in his aristocratic posture, but when he took on that basic side of pure desire, he became a completely irresistible pagan god.
- Arrogant! She exclaimed softly.
James smiled, reaching out, kissing her neck, hugging her, pulling her onto his lap, feeling her hands slide over her shoulders, up her hair, then led her so that their mouths met in a sinful kiss.
- Gisele ... - He whispered clearly breathless.
The woman smiled, but she was not far from the feeling of pleasure that that kiss provided. She slid her lips down his face, going to his ear, where he spoke softly.
- Do you think that only you know how to provoke?
The man's hands went up her side, taking her hair, giving it a tug, making her eyes meet his.
- Cheeky girl, you need to take a lesson!
- Ah, do I need it? - She disdained.
- Absolutely!
Before she could think of a witty response the Baron was already standing with her in his arms running out of the bowl towards the beach, there was no doubt what he was going to do.
- Blackcastle, stop!
She said, but the protest in her voice did not live up to her real will, since her eyes saw the Baron's face turn into a volcano of emotions as she ran like a teenager with her in her arms.
- Bath time dear!
James screamed before entering the sea, the water was so blue and crystal clear that it hurt his eyes, the sun shone, making that morning become a moment of fantasy lulled by the sound of the water crashing against them as the man went on drenching them.
