Chapter 100: Chapter 100

Claire's POV

We had breakfast at the restaurant within the property. After that, we went to explore the area on a yacht. We checked out the nearby bays and islands, Cathedral Cove, and returned to the resort for lunch.

Jason had a meeting in the afternoon with a client for a mega project that would bring lots of business for his company in the near future.

"Don't leave the property on your own. There are lots of activities to do inside the resort. Explore but stay inside. I'll return in 2-3 hours," he said with a worried look on his face.

"Don't worry, I won't go anywhere," I promised and he relaxed a little, kissed me on my forehead, and left.

I checked out the swimming pool, then the tennis courts. The spa was a little crowded, so I went to our room and curled up on the couch with a good book.

I might have dozed off, so I woke up to a start when I felt a warm hand tickle my chin.

"Wake up, love. I've ordered dinner," Jason said. I stretched my legs and checked our Jason lazily. He might have returned early since he was wearing only a pair of sweatpants, his hair wet from a shower.

"When did you return?" I asked but he picked me up in his arms and carried me to the living room sofa, sitting down with me on his lap.

"Half an hour ago," he said, stroking my cheek lovingly.

"How did it go?" I asked him as he smiled at me.

"Tomorrow we will sign the deal," he said looking contented.

We ate dinner together and watched a movie. I didn't know what we were but I loved the chemistry we shared and I could stay with him like this forever. I cuddled up to him midway through the movie.

"Let's go to bed. Tomorrow morning I need to go to sign the deal. Then the whole day we can go sightseeing," he said and I nodded and we went to the bedroom to sleep.

The next morning Jason left at 9 o'clock in the morning to sign the deal. I took a shower and explored the kitchen, pantry, and refrigerator, checking whether I could fix us a decent lunch. There was nothing much, so I went to collect travel guide brochures so that we could plan the rest of the day.

Jason returned at lunchtime, while I was making spaghetti bolognese for lunch. He hugged me to himself as if he had missed me immensely. I knew I did but I didn't admit that to him.

"Looks delicious," he said, smelling the bolognese sauce.

"Mom's recipe," I said as I switched off the fire, ready to serve the lunch.

"All went well?" I asked as he nodded smiling, eyeing the food that I cooked.

"You are perfect wife material, you know?" he said as my cheeks turned pink. I didn't want to be anyone else's wife. I wanted to be his, but he never asked me to be even his girlfriend. What was I to him?

"Why the frown?" he asked as I fiddled with my fork.

"N-nothing," I said as he smiled.

"Have patience and let's just enjoy each other's company. Yes?" he asked as if he knew what I was thinking. Maybe he really could read my face, my eyes. I wanted to know why he called me 'love'. Maybe someday I'd find the courage to ask him.

"Get ready in 15 minutes, we will see the major tourist attractions," he said over lunch, making my heart jump with joy. Finally, I was going out with him.

We went out to see the Sky Tower which was the tallest manmade structure in the country standing at 328 meters, and it offered stunning views of the Auckland skyline. We took a private yacht to Waiheke island, famous for beaches and wineries. We explored the Hauraki gulf, scuba dived, watched whales, and went hiking to Rangitoto island which is a volcanic island in the Gulf.

I didn't want the tour to end, it was so much fun, more so because I was with the love of my life, Jason. We took a lot of selfies and pictures together. We didn't post them anywhere as I didn't want dad to know my whereabouts.

We bought takeaways on our way back and after a candlelit dinner at our suite, we were too tired to do anything else. When I entered the bathroom for a shower, I felt Jason behind me.

"Let's shower together?" he said but I blushed. I had never showered with a guy before. He was totally naked and after stripping me off my clothes, he led me to the shower cubicle. The water drenched us as Jason's hands roamed all over my body while his mouth captured mine. He teased his way to my core, inserting two fingers and deeply thrusting inside me. I touched him the same way he touched me, and he groaned. We soaped each other and washed each other. He dried me as well as himself and carried me to the bed.

I knew he wanted to make love to me and I was ready for him. He sucked my breasts, my core till he was breathing hard with arousal.

"Will you let me make love to you?" he asked again and I nodded.

"Say it," he whispered hoarsely.

"Yes Jason," I whispered back, all doubts and hesitation completely gone. He brought out a condom from his wallet. "It will hurt a little, but when the pain subsides, you will enjoy it," he said stroking my cheek.

We made love many times through the night till I was too sore to get up and slept in his arms.

I woke up very sore and found Jason gone. I checked the bathroom and he wasn't there. I slowly went to the kitchen to get my coffee.

"Why did you get up, love? I was bringing breakfast to you," he said, serving the breakfast he prepared and handing a plateful to me. Eggs, bacon, toast, strawberries, and freshly brewed steaming coffee.

"Oh, this is heavenly," I said as I sat down and gobbled the food. Jason chuckled and ate his. I didn't know that I was this ravenous.

"I need to discuss some topics with the client. You rest and get healed. I will come by lunchtime. I want you to get better at night," he said and I blushed. I knew he wanted to repeat what we did last night. He came and kissed me thoroughly before finishing his food quickly and going for a shower.

After Jason left, I took a warm soaking bath, slept a lot, heated up leftovers from last night's dinner, and after eating again slept. I didn't know why I was so hungry and sleepy. When I woke up, I felt very fresh. I made some white rice and served it with soy and ginger fish, with baby-glazed carrots and beans on the side.

Jason came in smiling at my effort. "Amazing love. Are you feeling better?" he asked as I nodded.

"Yeah, now hurry and eat. Can we please go out?" I asked and he agreed. We visited Sea Life Kelly Tarlton's Aquarium, fed lambs at Sheepworld, visited Howick's historical Village, and went shopping for souvenirs.

We returned back to our room and packed our stuff. Tomorrow we'd be returning home. We would be staying in different houses, sleeping on different beds, and thinking about the time spent together. I felt like my heart would break. I wanted to be with him forever. How I would stay away from him after this, I had no idea.
