Chapter 41: Chapter 41

She opened her eyes a few hours in the daytime. She touched the bed and he wasn't there. She sat up and drank a bottle of water and recalled the cum inside her. Thank God she was on pills though she wasn't sure. She got up and saw him in front of the window staring down.

With the quilt wrapped around her, she back hugged him.

" Good morning luke" she whispered tiredly. He faced her holding her closer

" I'm sorry for stealing your sleep" he apologized

" There's nothing to be sorry for. It was the best feeling I have ever felt. Making love with you" she said shyly as he grinned

" You asked for Lucas and that's what you got. You know all this will change when we return home right? He asked

' yeah but we'll be together" she assured him hugging him. She would have gone for a kiss but her lips were swollen from too much kissing

" Go and have your bath or are you still sore? I didn't mean to be rough" he explained making her smile. He's so cute without the CEO altitude

" It's fine. Carry me there " she suggested as he carried her to the bathroom filling it up. He scrubbed her back avoiding her wound. His touch tingled her but she didn't stop him.

" Enjoying it I guess" he teased handing her the sponge to wash her front.

She took it and smiled shyly washing. Lucas looked at the hickeys on her body and smiled. She's him henceforth.

" Hmm. I'm hungry " she said scrubbing herself. He left to inform the chef to serve the table.

Audrey spent her afternoon with him mostly on his back. He didn't want her to stress herself cos she was still sore. He carried her in piggyback as they tour around the ship looking at the dolphins jumping in and out of the water.

She wished he'll remain that generous and caring but the truth is bitter. He's a busy man and an heir to trillions of properties. So he can't belong to her solely. Bobby was right she has to spend time with him while she can.

" Audrey! ' said Lucas with his hands wrapped around her shoulder as if back hugging her

" Yes, Luke? She answered holding his wrapped hands

" Where are your parents? He asked as he had tried finding them but couldn't

" They've passed on years ago. I can't remember how but I know they died before I became a woman" she stated hoping he'll stop there

" That's sad. It must have been difficult. Growing alone" he said resting his chin on her head

' yes, then I met Ava and Lola. They took care of me till I became a woman" she lied partially

" You're not alone anymore. You've me and will always have me" he assured her kissing her shoulder

" Promise?

" Yes, Audrey. I promise" he said as she turned around looking at him checking if he meant it.

" I mean every word Audrey and I feel for you so much more than you can comprehend" he announced making her smile reaching for a kiss. He kissed her for some time then withdrew.

" Thank you, Luke. Thank you" she said hugging him.

He took her to the casino and was surprised she could play. He asked for a swim but she was scared to swim in the middle of the river. Lucas laughed he never thought she was a scaredy-cat.

He put on his swimsuit ready to dive in.

" Luke, it's not safe " she urged

"Don't tell me you think there's a shark there? Don't be superstitious Audrey" he said putting on his swimming shoes

" There might be. Let's play in the casino instead. I'll let you win" she suggested holding him from leaving

" Okay but I have to swim first," he said diving in.

" It's warm. C'mon Audrey. I'm here no harm will come to you" he assured her but she shook her head.

Lucas stopped persuading her and swam deeper into the sea. She waited for some minutes but he didn't come out .she panicked without a second thought she dived in searching for him at the particular spot.

" Luke!!!" She called anxiously almost in tears.

She swam deeper into the water with despair sobbing cursing at her miserable life. Something tugged her leg and fear gripped her. Did a shark eat Lukas? She was about to swim faster when faced laughing at her crying face

" You're all red Audrey. So silly " he mocked as she hit his chest for scaring her like that weeping

" It wasn't intentional. I didn't expect you to jump in. Come here he coaxed hugging her grinning

"Don't do that again. You scared me, Luke. " She said while hugging him

" I'm sorry. Let's swim. I'm up to the task" he suggested swimming off. She swam after him slowly but couldn't catch up. She felt cold then noticed it was getting late.

" You're cold again? Let's go" he said holding her

' okay. Agreed' she agreed holding him for support

"You should improve on your swimming lessons. It's horrible" he said between her lips stalling in kissing her.

" Are you kissing me or helping me out of the water? " She asked boldly

" Both" he chuckled kissing her while caressing her cheeks. He raised her as she wrapped her legs around his waist.

" Still cold? He teased deepening the kiss while cupping her breast.

" How about we get out of the water" she suggested not comfortable with making out with him in the sea.

" That could work if you weren't sore. " He smirked kissing her clavicles while she turned the other side.

Lucas signaled the ship captain to bring them up and they were inside the ferry in no time.

It was another day. Audrey had a fever because of the sea breeze. Lucas panicked. He didn't know she was seasick. He had no idea what to do. He held her trying to think of something. He decided to tell the sailors to return to town.

" It's the second day Luke. I'll tell you what to do" she suggested coughing

" No. We're going home. "

" Luke, a bowl of cold water will do the magic. Wipe my body with a towel continuously. My fever will drop " she said as he wrapped his arms around her hoping it'll work.

He hurried inside to get it and soaked the towel inside the bowl of water. Squeezed it and put it on her forehead.

" do you feel better now? He asked with concern. She held his hand and slept off. He continued with the procedure for hours checking her heart if it was still beating.

The fever subsides in the evening only then did he sleep next to her. He held her hands and recalled buying her a gift. She tossed to his side cuddling him. He heaved a sigh of relief. She was okay fine. Sleep took over his thoughts.

Audrey felt something heavy on her head and touched it. It was a towel. She touched her body and notice the fever was gone. She turned and saw him sleeping calmly. She removed his hands from her body and moved stealthily out of bed.

The hour clock shocked her. Did he tend to her till her fever subsided? Is he that generous? He was surprising her every day with his sweetness. She was hungry. She went to the chef to tell them what to prepare for dinner.
