Knowing what I had to do, I got up and headed to my office.
Stephanie was going to wish she’d never heard of me.
Two Weeks Later
THE LIMO PULLED UP AND stopped outside of Laluna as a sinking feeling hit my chest.
Oh, my gosh. In four days I would be Emmit’s wife.
The door opened as Emmit extended his hand out to me. I placed my hand in his and let him guide me out of the limo and into the hotel.
“Mr. Lewis, welcome to Laluna! We have your beach cottage and your villa ready and waiting for you and your guests. I’m sure your parents and siblings will enjoy their stay in the villa very much.” Emmit and I had the beach cottage that was more secluded while everyone else was in the five bedroom villa.
“This is beyond beautiful!” Ashley said as she snapped pictures and posted them on her Instagram. Emmit rolled his eyes and pulled me closer to him as we finished the process of checking in.
“Ms. Morgan, the wedding planner would like to meet with you to go over a few last minute details if you are free later this evening. Perhaps before you all go to dinner?”
I nodded to the hotel clerk as I smiled, “Of course. Yes, that shouldn’t be a problem at all.”
After telling everyone about the property features, Ashley, Candace and my mother all decided they needed to find their zen and headed to the spa. I on the other hand had no intentions of leaving Emmit’s side. It was the first time we were alone in a week. I was taking full advantage of it.
I turned to Emmit and was about to say something when my father walked up. “All right son, get those clubs out because we are teeing off in an hour.”
My mouth dropped open as I turned and looked at Emmit. “You’re going to go play golf?”
With a shrug of his shoulder, he glanced back to my father and said, “Let me get us settled in and I’ll meet you back here in the lobby in forty minutes.”
My father gave Emmit a slap on the back and started following everyone else up to their villa. Emmit took my hand as we made our way to what would be our home for the next fourteen days.
“Golf? You’re going to go play golf?”
Emmit laughed and shook his head. “What was I supposed to do? Your father asked me four days ago about playing golf. They are only here for five days baby, I thought you’d want me spending time with your dad as father and son-in-law and all that shit.”
My shoulders sank when I knew what he was saying was right. “It’s just, well we haven’t had a moment alone in the last week and I’m starting to get needy.”
The young bellhop walked through the fabric that was hanging down in the doorway and into an amazing cottage. It was huge and full of color.
“Oh my goodness, it’s beautiful,” I said as I walked up to the giant king size bed. My fingers moved along the soft Italian fabric as I took everything in. Emmit had been talking to the bellhop as I got lost in our home away from home.
I made my way over to the shower area and gasped when I saw the views of the Caribbean Sea through the partially open stall.
Arms wrapped around my waist as a smile spread deeper across my face. “Do you like it?”
My head dropped back onto Emmit’s chest as I giggled. “Like it? I love it! It’s so romantic.”
Emmit’s hands moved up and cupped my breasts as I let out a moan. “I’m going to make love to you, Addie.”
Closing my eyes, I melted into Emmit’s body. “You have golf,” I whispered as Emmit turned my body to face his.
His smile caused my body to light up instantly. There wasn’t anything I wouldn’t do for this man. “How about I relax you some so you can go enjoy the other ladies in the spa.”
Pulling my lip into my mouth, I narrowed my eyes together and took a step away from Emmit. With one quick movement, my shirt was over my head and on the floor. I slowly moved my hands to my shorts where I unbuttoned them and every so slowly shimmied out of them. Emmit’s eyes roamed over my body as he let out a deep growl from the back of his throat.
As I stood before my future husband wearing nothing but white lace panties and bra, I put my finger in my mouth and bit down. I was trying like hell to seduce him and by the look on his face, I’d say it was working.
Emmit pulled out his phone and hit a number.
“Todd? Let Waldo and Chris know I’m going to have to skip golf today. Jet lag.”
I smiled so big I could practically feel my face muscles cramping.
Emmit dropped his phone on the floor and quickly picked me up and brought me to the bed.
As he gently laid me down, he spoke against my lips. “My love, my life, my forever.”
The cool morning breeze blew strands of my hair against my face as I inhaled a deep breath. Never in a million years would I ever have dreamed I’d be doing yoga. Let alone, yoga the day before my wedding.
My mind started to drift before being pulled back by the yoga instructor’s voice. “Draw your attention inward. Big inhale through your nose, and long exhale through your mouth.”
I tried to completely clear my mind of everything as I followed the instructions. The last few days had been a blast, and Emmit did an amazing job keeping me busy with family and not stressed about the wedding.
“One more deep breath as you let everything release from your body.”
As I inhaled through my nose, my body perked up.
Emmit.
Smiling, I peeked my eyes open and saw Emmit standing off to the side, closer to the water’s edge. My body quickly came alive.
Sweet baby, Jesus. Why is he so good looking? Emmit’s dark brown hair blew gently in the wind as he stood there looking handsome as hell. His light-blue T-shirt clung in just the right way to his perfectly toned chest. Licking my lips, I continued to stare at him. I could see his gray eyes lighting up even from this distance away.
The yoga instructor stood and smiled as she said, “That’s it ladies. I had an amazing time with you this morning. Let’s see you back tomorrow!”
I slowly lifted my body and stood. I quickly realized how out of shape I truly was when we started taking adventures all over the place. Keeping up with Emmit was a task in of itself.
The girls behind me giggled and began talking. “My goodness. Kathy, hot guy alert near the water. Holy shit. What I wouldn’t do to have five minutes of alone time with that stud.”
With a smile, I reached down and grabbed my beach towel. I knew they were talking about Emmit and I didn’t care. Maybe a few months ago it might have bothered me, knowing how many women lust after my future husband. I knew he was mine though and that was all that mattered.
“Let’s go talk to him.”
I tilted my head as I watched both girls walk by me and head straight over to Emmit.
“Let’s see how this plays out,” I said as I pursed my lips together to keep from smiling.
As both women approached him, Emmit smiled that smile that would melt the panties off of any women, any age. I slowly made my way over toward him as I let the scene play out.
“Hello there handsome,” the blonde said as she pushed her chest out a little bit more.
The brunette went right in for the kill. “How about you come on back to our cottage for a little bit of, post yoga stretching.”
Oh, gag me.
Emmit chuckled and looked directly into my eyes. “Sorry ladies, I only have eyes for the most beautiful woman on the beach. My fiancé.”
Excitement bubbled up in my chest as Emmit gave me the most adoring smile. Both girls turned and looked at me as they rolled their eyes. Walking up to him, I simply said, “Hey,” as he leaned down and pressed his lips to mine.
When he finally pulled back, he gently spoke. “Hey, pumpkin.”
Both women quickly turned and walked off. As I let out a laugh, I shook my head. “I can’t bring you anywhere can I?”
