“No, you’re right; I would hate not to have a change of clothing.” She allowed herself to relax slightly and kissed him on the lips as she leaned into his embrace. “You have booked us a double, I presume?”
He replied as his eyes searched hers. “I hope I didn’t presume too much, but they didn’t have many rooms left.”
She smiled and nodded her acceptance.
“Let me go and get us all checked in.” He half spoke to Indi, as well as Adam and Hayden, who were standing off to one side of the embracing couple. Grey moved away from her, and went to claim their room keys, a double room for Indi and him, and two singles for each of his security team.
A member of staff assisted them up to their rooms.
Indi had disappeared into their en-suite bathroom first, rubbing the complimentary lotions on her damp skin after a shower to wash the dust from their ride away.
Slipping on the lace negligee, she brushed her hair loose as it fell over her shoulders and beyond. Normally, she tied it back when she was sleeping alone, but Grey seemed to enjoy running his hands through it.
She came out of the bathroom and found he’d ordered them some light food and drinks from room service. She started to pick at some of the selection of food, and poured out two glasses of wine while she waited for him to have a shower. She’d taken several large gulps of her wine, by the time he’d emerged again as she felt a nervous excitement rising up and flipping over in her stomach.
He came out in just drawstring bottoms, his rippling chest, and stomach muscles glistening in their full glory as his skin was still slightly damp, causing his dark hair to curl tightly just above the drawstring waistband.
Indi couldn’t help but let her eyes drift over him from head to toe, lingering slightly too long on his groin area as she thought back to the delights his body had shown hers the night before.
“I’ve poured you some wine.” Indi said, trying to keep her voice level as she tried to reduce her yearning for him down, pointing to the full glass she’d left on the sideboard next to the laid-out food.
“Thanks sweetness,” he replied grabbing the glass and moving to sit beside her on the sofa beside the massive bed that was situated in the centre of the room. “How do you feel after all that riding?”
“Slightly stiff, but tolerable otherwise at the moment; however, think I’ll be rather sore tomorrow.”
“I could massage your tired muscles for you.” Grey offered with a roguish smile as he gazed at her body.
“Mmm, that could work.” Indi returned his smile, blushing. Even after a week of being together, she still could not get past the shyness of his probing gaze admiring her body whenever they had an intimate moment.
With a confident air, he took the wine glass from her hand, and placed it on the coffee table in front of them, where he’d previously placed his own. “Ok, turn your back to me, and I’ll work on your neck and shoulders first.” He slipped his strong hands over her shoulder blades as she did as he asked, and started to knead any tension away that was lingering between the blades and muscles. He moved her hair over to one side, and worked slowly on her neck, massaging the area then lightly kissing from behind the ear, down to the bottom of the curve, where her neck became her shoulder.
Indi sighed loudly as she enjoyed the caressing feel of his lips brushing delicately against her skin, causing shudders of enjoyment to ripple through her.
Grey moved his hands further over her back, rubbing the tension from each side of the spine as he progressed down the small of her back, and to the top of the curve of her bottom.
“Does that feel better?” Grey whispered as his mouth nibbled against her ear, leaning forward so that his hard chest pressed against her back. His hands caressed the sides of her waist as he pulled her closer to him.
“Oh, yes.” Indi moaned softly as his hands glided upward from her waist to her breasts, the small straps of the negligee sliding down her arm as she arched her back against him, exposing her bare breasts fully to his touch. He continued to rub his fingers and palms roughly over the sensitive buds, making them harden painfully.
His lips and tongue was teasing against her ear and neck as his hands continued their assault on her bare breasts. Indi was writhing against him as gasps of breath escaped her throat.
He lifted Indi up from the sofa, and placed her on the bed with ease, with the top of her negligee still bunched up at her waist he turned away to retrieve something from the sideboard.
As he turned back, a naughty expression lingered on his face as she noted some melted chocolate sauce within the dish he now held, for the strawberries that had also been served.
Sitting back on the bed, he helped her to remove the nightdress fully from her, leaving her naked to his admiring gaze, and causing the bulge of his cock to harden and expand beneath his pyjamas bottoms. His hands stroking over her nakedness, as he captured her mouth passionately, nipping at her bottom lip, to allow entry of his tongue inside her mouth as the kiss deepened.
Her hands wandered heatedly over his neck and back as they finally parted for some air. “You are so beautiful.” Grey said as he stared down into her green pools, his warm breath tickling against her skin.
Indi blushed as it still seemed strange to have such a superstar like Grey find her so. Her mother had dealt repeated blows to her self-esteem over the years, which always resurfaced in the back of her mind when feeling exposed to someone else’s eyes like this.
He sat up slightly, dipped his fingers in some of the chocolate he’d placed on the bedside cabinet, and dripped it provocatively over her breasts and stomach. She gasped at the sudden coldness of the chocolate on her skin; he gave her a wicked smile before he leaned down and began licking the sauce away with his tongue from around her erect nipple. As each lick progressed nearer to her nipples, she would arch her back, urging him silently to take them in his mouth to end the exquisite torture of their hardness.
With no chocolate remaining on her breasts and stomach, Grey finally slipped her nipples into his mouth, sucking and nibbling at them gently. She spoke his name loudly as he did so, her hands sliding frantically through his hair as his teasing mouth heightened the burning heat between her legs. Indi could feel his bulging hardness pressing against her outer thigh as he laid half on and half off her.
His mouth trailed down her stomach to her hips, his lowering body forcing her shapely legs to part to allow further access between them. His lips delved between the soft folds that guided the way into her core as his tongue dipped further to taste her sweetness repeatedly. While his fingers worked on her clit heightening her need for him, he slipped two further fingers deep into her in a thrusting motion as Indi moaned her gasps of pleasure, lifting her hips instinctively to meet them. Her inner muscles tightened around his inserted fingers, urging him to quicken the rhythm of the thrusts, “Oh, Grey.” She panted as her crescendo took hold and jolted through her whole body.
He moved up her body and captured her mouth again. “Do you want to feel me inside you?” Grey whispered against her mouth huskily as he lifted himself off the bed slightly, to free his erection from his pyjamas bottoms.
“Oh yes, I do…” Indi paused as she reached to touch his now exposed thick manhood with her hands. “But I want to taste you first.”
Grey moved off the bed and stood in all his glory before her as she perched herself on the edge of the mattress, allowing her delicate fingers to wind tightly around the girth. She began to stroke it rhythmically, her hand gliding from the base to the tip repeatedly as he grunted with exhilaration of her touch. "Oh fuck that feels so good.”
She leaned forward to bring her the tip of his cock into her mouth, simultaneously sliding her hand up and down its length, and taking his tip eagerly in her mouth. Grey moaned her name repeatedly as his erection slowly slipped inch by inch into her mouth until she was full of him. Indi revelled in the noises he was creating that filled the air, she enjoyed the power of having a man she was attracted to, calli
ng out her name as she bought him to his knees with her mouth. However, having a man she easily could fall in love with in the same position took her to a new dizzy height of passion.
Shit, you have gotta be kidding, don’t even think about getting too attached when he is going to dump your arse as soon as the holiday is over.
Indi lost concentration as that thought hit her for a reality check.
“Oh baby, don’t stop now.” Grey grumbled at the interruption of her rhythmic mouth motions
Focus, you sucking off your idol – just enjoy it while it lasts.
Indi’s recovered her pace fluidly as his hips began moving in and out against her mouth with increasing vigour while her mouth and tongue sucked and licked at the exposed flesh.
His hands lightly rested upon her hair, gently holding her head in place, as he rocked against her, eyes closed, “Oh god, I’m so close.” His breaths coming in ragged pants now.
Feeling his strokes lessen, Indi determined he was getting ready to pull out of her mouth. She didn’t want him to think she was one of those girls who weren’t prepared to swallow. Gazing upwards, she met his glazed expression as she continued to resist his withdrawal until she was sure he had got the message that she was not finished with him.
He allowed her to conduct the pace as she continued to torment him with her tongue wrapped around his tip while her mouth and hand continued to stroke his length. His hands reached to massage her breasts as he grunted and groaned his appreciation as he finally released himself into her throat. Resisting the urge to gag she swallowed the stream of fluid until she milked him dry of every drop.
Sighing in contentment he finally pulled out of her mouth just as his legs buckled underneath him causing him to fell sideways onto the bed, pulling her from her perched position to lay partial on top of him. The unexpected change of position invoked a squeal from her throat as his hands caress the bare flesh where he had learnt she was most ticklish.
Lifting his head, he trailed light kisses down her neck and collarbone.
“That was sensational, my darling,” he murmured against her skin as he pulled her further up his body and more fully into his strong arms, his naked skin against hers. Her mind and pulse raced at his use of such a term of endearment. Could he be feeling their connection as deeply as she was?
“I love the feel of you against me,” he continued to speak as he stroked the small of her back and nuzzle her neck. Her own arms were resting above his head levering her upper body off him slightly as she tilted her neck into his nuzzling mouth as she enjoyed the thrill of his touch.
They lay like that for quite a while, just kissing and cuddling quietly until they moved to the right end of the bed to drift off to sleep.
Passion - Grey
They awoke the next morning, bright and early, still wrapped up in each other’s arms. After showering and indulging in a delicious breakfast made for them by the hotel kitchen, they headed off to get their horses ready for the continued trek across the farmland.
The two of them were finishing up tacking up the horses with the rest of the group when Grey’s mobile started buzzing. Pulling it from his pocket, he pulled a face as he looked down at the screen. Putting it to his ear, he continued attending to the horse while he waited for the caller to speak.
“I received your voicemail.” John Bailey’s stated matter of fact.
“And?” Grey’s voice was tense as he couldn’t help but be reminded of the life he was going back to as he heard his father’s tones.
“Why are you always determined to think the worse of me?”
“Perhaps because you always seem to go out of your way to do things that you know will make me see you in that light.” The sharpness in which he spoke caused Indi to look over at him quizzically.
“I only do things out of necessity to protect our family reputation and provide for you kids.”
“So you admit it was you that leaked the details?” Grey’s voice raised several octaves. The last thing he wanted was the papers getting hold of the engagement story when he wanted to break it off as soon as he got home.
“Why would I need to do that? You had already signed the papers. I had nothing further to gain by making it public knowledge.”
“Well if it weren’t you then it must have been one of your minions because the people that work for me can be trusted not to divulge my secrets, whereas yours seem not to hold the same morals.” Grey flexed his fists in exasperation as he tried to contain his temper becoming aware of several other people looking in his direction. He still was not convinced that his father hadn’t had a hand in his privacy being invaded.
“I have already put the necessary inquiries in motion to find out who did this. You may think the worst of me over forcing your hand into this marriage, but I did never want our family business plastered over some gossip rag.”
Grey sighed, noting that everyone was now waiting for him to finish the conversation so they could get going. “Look, we will discuss this further when I get back, but I have to cut this short now.”
Meeting the gaze of his two bodyguards who knew the tenuous relationship he had with his father he shook his head in warning not to ask what he said.
“Sorry about the hold-up. I’m ready now.” Grey looked apologetically in the general direction of both Indi and their guide.
They spent the remainder of the morning riding in the direction of the northeastern slopes of the volcano for Grey’s second planned excursion. They hadn’t been able to make the whole way there by horse in the time they had, but had been picked up at a pre-arranged point by car by Adam as only Hayden had accompanied them on the final leg of the ride.
Grey had promised his sister, Olivia that he would go look over a vineyard that she wanted to purchase to add to their growing wine property portfolio. He’d looked into purchasing the vineyard on a previous trip, but the asking price had never been right.
Grey’s assistant, Sam had prearranged for them to be greeted by the vineyard’s owner, Pepe.
“Grey, it’s delightful to see you again.” The older man of about sixty greeted Grey first with a firm handshake. “It has been a year, or two. I believe.”
“Yes, indeed it has, Pepe. This is my friend, Indi, who will be accompanying us today.” Grey gave the Pepe a sincere smile, relishing the fuzzy feeling he gained from introducing Indi to people of his acquaintance. He had never been serious enough with a woman before to feel the need to introduce them to his business acquaintances, but Indi’s presence made him strangely content with the idea.
“Enchanted,” Pepe spoke English reasonably well. The man kissed Indi on either side of her cheeks in greeting.
“So, have you simply come to taste our wine this time, Grey, or maybe prepared to make an offer a tired old man can no longer refuse?” Pepe smiled, as he placed a friendly pat on Grey’s back. Although the deal had fallen through last time, Pepe and he had shared many pleasant meals together with Pepe’s family.
Grey chuckled “Well, maybe both.”
Indi looked on as they chatted some more, but Grey could not tell what she was thinking.
As Pepe led the way into the winery, he placed a hand on the small of Indi’s back, guiding her to walk in front of him slightly, leaving Adam and Hayden to remain by the vehicle.
For the next hour, Indi was shown each stage of the process, of how they made their wine before they finally entered the cellar where previous vintages were stacked high.
“How long have you been making wines here?” Indi asked, staring in awe at the vast cellar full of bottles.
“My family has been doing this for nearly 90 years, my grandfather starting it from scratch, then my uncle, father and me. Unfortunately, my sons have no interest in taking it over, so I’m going to sell it, so I don’t have to work so hard for what is remaining of my life.”
“It is sad that something so beautiful will have to leave your family.” Indi said, looking out over the green span of grape vines monopolis
ing the horizon. “My own family had to do something similar when my grandfather died. He owned a successful horse-breeding ranch in America that had been in our family for generations, but his beneficiaries weren’t interested in taking it on, so it had to be sold.”
Grey raised an eyebrow at this revelation. He’d not realised her family was anything but English. He made a mental note to ask her about it later. Regardless of his initial intention not to share much of his life back home with her, they had grown much closer than he ever imagined, and she had already drawn the vague background to his relationship with his father from him. She was so easy to open up to that he had not given it a second thought when he began divulging more than he normally would.
Pepe nodded knowingly. “Come; let me allow you to taste the latest selection of wine.” He said moving them to a section of the cellar that had no wine racking up on the wall, but instead small oak barrels lying on their side with short tap at the front of it. One of Pepe’s staff was already waiting with several different bottles of varying colours of wine, and glasses for them.
Grey gestured to Indi to take a seat at the table while Pepe instructed his assistant to pour some tasters for them to start sampling. They started with one of the whites from the previous year, moving onto rose, and then her preferred, red wine.
“I actually like this best.” Indi spoke in her finest Italian as she held the remnants to her nose once again. “I think I taste vanilla, and perhaps some type of cherry?”
“Si,” Pepe responded. “Con onu suggerimento di semi di moka.”
“What kind of blend, I think I can get a differing taste?” Grey joined in his less than perfect Italian.
“This is a best reserve, so half Cabernet Sauvignon and half Shiraz, mostly.”
The rest of the afternoon was whiled away discussing some of the historical places they had already visited with the additional insight from a native Sicilian point of view.
Grey enjoyed the way Indi flushed quite often at the mere mention of their private night tour of Valley of the Temples whenever he caught her eye as he talked about what they had seen with Pepe. He had paid for them to have exclusive access to the place and had managed to slip away from both bodyguards and guide long enough to sink his cock inside her tight core. The little summer dresses she wore drove him crazy most days, she made him feel like a horny teenager the amount of times he had acted on his constant craving of endless quickies with her wherever the mood took.
