17| The Trip
Kelly LeVonne
It's been a month since my secret relationship with Theodore began and so far it's been great. We meet up at his cabin at least once a week, sometimes twice if one of us misses the other too much to wait till the next week, usually him-although, we'll never actually admit that we missed each other's company.
The arrangement has been going well and Theodore turned out to be everything that I wanted in a man and more. He made sure to spoil me with gifts during the first two weeks but I quickly put a stop to that. I didn't want anything from him but his time and commitment.
Also, I soon discovered that Theodore was a highly spontaneous man. We had met at a ball and he surprised me by taking me in the most unexpected place simply because as he had pointed out, he couldn't keep his hands off of me when I was looking as good as I did.
Thinking back to that, I felt my core clench at the memory of how his hard length felt in me, and a small smile come to my face before it quickly disappeared altogether when my assistant, Danica, walked in. We immediately got to the business of the day before finally, she left me once more to the heap of files on my desk. Apparently, these days, Greg took pleasure in passing the work of the lower staff in the finance department onto me and I had wanted to just ignore it as it gave me more to do and kept me occupied but right now I was almost at my limit.
Stupid motherfucker.
I wondered why he can't just take the fact that I have absolutely no interest in him like a man and then move on. At least it's finally Friday, so I could rest and regroup for next week before my fuse went off.
I heard my phone ringtone go off and without checking the caller ID, I brought it it up to my ear.
"Hello." I greeted.
"Kitten." I heard the deep rasp of Theodore's voice say into my ear, immediately causing sharp shivers to jolt down my spine.
I briefly remembered asking him why he called me that two weeks ago, and he had answered, "That little melodic purr you make whenever I touch you, just like that of a kitten."
It had brought a small blush to my cheeks because I knew his words were true. I couldn't help the way his touch made me feel each and every time.
"Theodore." I breathed.
"Are you free this weekend?" He asked me.
"Yes, why?" I asked him.
"Pack your bags, we are taking a trip." He simply instructed.
I was immediately excited at the prospect of spending a whole weekend with him but I was also curious at the spontaneity of the trip. "To where?" I asked.
"France."
I couldn't help the huge grin on my face at that. I had told him just last week that I had always wanted to go to Paris so this news had improved my mood greatly. I was ecstatic that he actually listened and cared enough to want to take me there.
"Okay." I said trying to sound casual about it but I knew he knew that nothing about this felt casual. I could almost see the smirk on his face right now knowing he had just made my day, and soon, my weekend.
"I'll have the driver pick you up at 6." He told me.
"All right. Have a good day."
"I'll be seeing you at the end of it, I can't think of my day being any better than that." He told me before hanging up.
With a stupid, goofy smile on my face, I held the phone to my chest like a little girl before letting out the squeal I had been holding in.
Once done with that temporary moment of insanity, I faced my work, trying to focus but I was unable to. My mind kept drifting to the weekend ahead.
For this reason, I decided to leave work early, immediately heading home to begin packing my bag.
Upon my arrival home, I noticed my father's body guards around the parking area which immediately alerted me of his presence.
I internally groaned. Why today of all days did he suddenly decide to turn up?
Once inside the house, I noticed everywhere considerably more quiet than usual so I quickly made my way up to my room and began going through the stressful process of packing a box. Half an hour later, I was done so I went to take a shower before blow drying and curling my hair.
As I was doing that, I heard a knock on my door. "Come in." I called out, still seated on my vanity table in a long white robe.
"Hey, Darling." My Mum said as she walked in before taking a seat on the bed.
"Hey, Mum." I greeted back.
"I'm cooking your father's favorite for dinner and it will be set soon, okay?" She said and I looked at her with an arched eyebrow. Why is she talking of dinner by this time and why the hell did she come all the way to my room just to say that instead of sending a maid.
I dropped the curling iron I was using on the table. "Sorry, Mum, I won't be able to stay for dinner. I'm- " and then I briefly wondered what to say. "I'm actually heading out right now."
She didn't look surprised, just had that small grin on her face. "To where?"
"On a trip." I said vaguely going back to doing my hair.
"To where?" She repeated.
"A foreign country." I simply said just incase it made it to the media that the King of Westgate was in France at the same time as myself. I didn't need anyone else getting any clues.
"With whom?" She asked yet again.
I sighed. "With my girls from school back in America. We wanted to take a fall trip but that fell through so this was all planned last minute." I told her lying straight through my teeth. I felt kind of bad but it had to be done because knowing the kind of mother that I have, she can turn into the CIA and make you tell her whatever without you even meaning to.
"Okay, okay. I was just curious. You never tell me anything anymore." She said getting a sad look on her face.
"Mum." I sighed.
"Your father is away constantly, Callen is off on adventures around the world, and you are always out with that mystery man of yours that you still wouldn't tell me about, I'm really lonely here." She confessed and I immediately felt bad. It couldn't be easy for her.
Dropping the iron, I moved from the chair to the bed before wrapping my have around her torso. "When I return, I promise we will do something fun. Just the two of us, okay?" I told her and she nodded with a sigh. "But for now, go and enjoy your husband's company." I told her with a teasing smile.
She laughed before standing up to leave. "Have a safe trip."
"I will, Mummy." And I was sure that I would as I would be in the best hands. Literally. I thought to myself with a grin.
At 6 PM sharp, Theodore texted me alerting me that Victor was outside. I asked for assistance from a maid to help me with taking my box downstairs while I took the other. As soon as he saw us, Victor rushed, taking both from our hands with no trouble. Men.
"Hello, Victor." I greeted him. Over time we had become a bit more familiar with each other as he was the only one who drove me to my meetings with Theodore because Theo had said that he trusted Victor with his life, and now mine.
We soon began the long drive to the airport and then upon closer observation at the roads I noticed that we weren't going to the airport.
"Victor." I called out and he immediately tilted his head, sending me a brief glance through the rear view mirror, indicating he was listening. "Where are we going?"
"To the royal air strip, ma'am." He simply said.
I mentally rolled my eyes at myself.
Of course.
As King, Theodore couldn't possibly be going to such a public place just to travel. Sometimes, I really forget that the person whom I am in a secret relationship with isn't a normal person, hence the secrecy.
Soon, we arrived the strip and immediately some men in black who looked armed came to get my boxes from the trunk before taking it to the aircraft for me. I looked around and noticed three cars parked behind each other, each bearing the Westgate flag. This told me that Theodore was already here.
I didn't have to look for long because the door to a sleek black Mercedes McLauren in the middle was opened a bodyguard and Theo stepped out. It almost seemed as though time stopped in that moment as I found myself staring at him, unable to pull my gaze away. He never failed to make my breath falter simply by looking drop dead handsome in his numerous tailored suits and today was no different.
He walked up to me with a small grin which mirrored the one on my face. When he was before me, I couldn't help but lean into him and lay a small kiss on his lips briefly allowing myself that small display of affection despite the presence of the many bodyguards who stood around us but looked forward, remaining professional all the while.
As I moved to pull away, he stopped me, bending his head to take my lips once more. The feel of his moist velvety tongue in my mouth never failed to make me shiver and I released a small moan as he deepened the kiss before finally pulling away.
I blinked up at him, the sun creating a halo around his head and in his eyes I saw desire and something else, something delicate. He seemed to shake both off, his eyes turning warm before giving me a beautiful smirk. "I missed you, kitten." He confessed as he took ahold of my hand and began leading me to the aircraft.
