Is this destiny?

In second presidential suite on top floor of the resort on Lake Tahoe, Aiden and Sarah are in the middle of a huge round bed, their bodies wrapped in a white bedsheet.

The reminders of their passionate night are scattered clothes which are making a trail from living room to the bedroom.

Two damp towels on the edge of the bed indicate that they took a shower recently.

Aiden is holding Sarah in his arms with her back leaning against his chest.

"You didn't answer my question." He spoke in her ear. "Which one did you like better: moonlight or sunrise?"

Sarah giggled. "I told you few times already. I like them both. Don't make me choose."

"Hmm… If you can't pick between those, then we will need to wait for noon, so you can compare that as well." He smiled mischievously.

Sarah turned to face him. "Don't you think that we should go back?" Her expression told him that she does not want to go back. Not yet.

"Yes. Eventually." Aiden's smile froze as he observed her face. 'She is so beautiful.' Sarah was smiling at him, and he could see the love in her eyes. He wished that he has the power to stop time, so that he can enjoy eternity of holding her in his arms. Feeling of her skin against his, her smile, her temperature, her scent… everything was right. Emotions that filled his heart were overflowing and spreading through his body like a warm and slightly tingling sensation which made it impossible to focus on anything other than Sarah.

"Why are you dazed?" Her question made his smile increase.

"I was just thinking how lucky I am. With you." Aiden caressed her cheek gently.

Hearing him say that was a pleasant surprise for Sarah. Aiden doesn't use words to express his feelings often. "That makes two of us." She smiled.

For some time two of them stared at each other with goofy smiles on their faces.

Aiden's phone was ringing. He frowned slightly.

"You know that's your phone? Answer it." Sarah nudged him.

"No." He closed his eyes, hoping that the person calling him will give up.

"We are supposed to be available today. Remember? Jeff and my big sis are doing their thing. What if they need us?"

He puffed his checks in protest while dragging himself off the bed. He pulled the bedsheet after him.

"Hey, hey… that's mine!" She yanked the bedsheet and held it tightly.

"What should I use?" He ignored other bedsheets and comforters on purpose.

"You can use a towel." Sarah pointed to the towels on the side of the bed. "You don't need much, anyway."

Aiden was outraged. "What is that supposed to mean?!! I need a lot to cover up, and you know it!" He reached for the towel and in a moment let go of it. "It's cold! You know what cold does?! I can't use that!!!"

Sarah was gasping for air while laughing. "There is more than one bedsheet!"

Aiden ignored covering up. He got his phone and came back to bed. "I don't want to use another... Let's share this one." He winked at Sarah while tugging on the bedsheet she was holding onto. His expression worsened when he saw the caller ID. "It's Jeff." Aiden answered the call and put it on speaker, so that both of them can hear.

"Don't you know we are working today?!!" Jeff's voice boomed from the speaker.

"Hi, brother. Sarah is here as well." Hearing Jeff's scolding, Aiden felt guilty for neglecting his phone, but just a little guilt. Not a lot.

"I expect you to be available." Jeff's voice was calmer, probably because he heard that Sarah is there as well.

"Did you call to give me a lesson on availability, or is there another reason?" Aiden was frustrated that Jeff is not saying why he called but is scolding him instead.

"Yes, yes…"

"Just go to the point right away. We are listening." Aiden's frustration was subsiding. At least in his voice.

"Timothy Cox noticed that he is losing power and wants to use an offshore account." They understood from Jeff's voice that this is serious. Getting additional resources means that he can hinder their plans.

Aiden and Sarah glanced at each other. They took care of those, is it possible they missed some? Aiden frowned. "We already blocked all his offshore accounts."

"It's not his." Jeff's explanation was short and to the point.

Both Sarah and Aiden relaxed. If they missed an account, and it showed up at such a critical moment, it would be something embarrassing for them. Not to mention that it could jeopardize the whole plan. "That explains it. Where is it?" Aiden watched Sarah's figure as she walked to the living room. She left the bedsheet behind.

"Cayman Islands"

"Who owns the account?" Aiden was struggling to focus on the call. His eyes were locked on the door, waiting for Sarah to walk back in.

"Sabrina Welsh"

Aiden was looking at Sarah who was bringing their two laptops into the bed. "Does this need to be dealt with soon?" He hoped that they can deal with whatever Jeff called about later. Tomorrow maybe.

"Now." Jeff's irritation, that he even needs to address that question, was obvious.

Aiden frowned. "On it." Aiden hanged up and opened his laptop while stealing glances at Sarah.

Sarah saw him and smiled while wrapping herself in a bedsheet. "You find the account. I will see where money will go." Sarah started searching for details on Sabrina Welsh. They decided to send all money from offshore accounts to the charities that owners of accounts would not support. It's an additional blow to their victims when they get a 'Thank you' email.

After some time, Aiden broke the silence. "I'm in. Where should I send the money?"

"Here, sending you the link. I found a perfect charity." Sarah grinned.

"And I found two accounts. I didn't know which one, so I emptied both." He was proud of himself that he didn't stop his search after finding the first account.

"Nice work!" Sarah praised him and laughed when she saw Aiden enjoying it.

"Just to text Jeff that it's done, and I'm all yours." Aiden spoke while his fingers swiftly moved over the screen of his phone.

Sarah waited for Aiden to finish with his phone and then showed him her laptop screen. "I found something unexpected while searching through data of Sabrina Welsh."

Aiden looked at the screen attentively, his eyes widened in shock. "Where did you find these? Is this Sabrina Welsh? The man in the photos is Timothy Cox!"

"Yes. That is her. I confirmed it's the same person from profile pictures on her social media accounts." Sarah giggled. "I found these on her phone. Now we know why she is willing to bail him out."

"Wow! Graphic! I can't imagine how Stacey will blow up if this gets exposed… Her husband doing these things with another woman." Aiden felt a mix of disgust for a cheating husband, and excitement that they got evidence of his adultery.

"I'm sending these to Jeff. He has more experience with handling media." Sarah's attention was on her laptop.

"Yes. Let him handle that, and we can get back to our business."

For a moment Sarah's fingers paused over the keyboard and she smiled while her cheeks blushed.

Aiden chuckled and pulled her in his embrace as soon as she tapped 'Send' on email to Jeff. He held her face in his hands and placed a gentle kiss on each of her cheeks. "You are still blushing easily." He spoke under his breath.

"I can't help it…" Sarah was embarrassed. 'We did so many things, so many times, why am I still getting flustered like this?' She covered face with her hands.

Aiden gently removed her hands and observed her face which was now completely red. "Don't cover up. You know I like it… You are gorgeous, and I like that this is only for me." He glanced on the side and mischievous smirk appeared on his face. "You look hot. Let me see what I can do about it."

Sarah was sitting on Aiden's lap, and watched as he extended his arm and got an ice cube from the bucket on the side of the bed which was keeping their drinks chilled.

Ice cube touched her lips and made her feel numb as it moved over them slowly. Sarah closed her eyes and enjoyed the cold feeling that was spreading from her lips to her mouth in an unusually sensuous way.

And then he kissed her. His lips felt like fire on hers. It was an unexpected contrast of temperatures which made her understand why people describe kissing as melting. After a minute, her chilled lips were overpowered by his heat, and both of them were on fire.

She saw him get another ice cube before pushing her down on the bed. 'Did he put that one in his mouth?'

Aiden slowly unwrapped Sarah out of the bedsheet while ice melted in his mouth. He felt that Sarah enjoyed previous kiss and wondered what her reaction will be to what is coming. He was not disappointed. He saw her eyes flash in surprise when his cold tongue got between her hot lips. And then her fingers got tangled into his hair and held him tightly, not willing to let go. Aiden loves when she holds him like that, because he is not willing to let go either. He craves for her closeness. Always.

Sarah's breath fused with Aiden's and they held onto each other with desperation of two people who are on the verge of losing their sanity. The madness integrated with feeling of completeness until their bodies explosively resonated in perfect harmony.

The whole world was absolutely still and quiet while Sarah and Aiden were enveloped with a feeling of belonging. Neither of them was sure if it was an eternity or a millisecond or anything in between, before they resumed their breathing.

Aiden held Sarah's face in his hands and kissed her few times on the lips gently. Then he moved to the side and held her in his arms with her back leaning against his chest.

Sarah pulled the bedsheet over them, and Aiden tucked them into it. They laid like that in the bed without a word.. No words were needed; they would just spoil the moment of two people holding each other in the middle of a huge round bed on the top floor suite of the resort on Lake Tahoe.
