One Wild Night

767  Payment In Kind

Before Lucy could leave the cabin in search of Tom after the conference call with the girls ended, her phone started ringing and she smiled when she saw the call was from Sonia.

She wasn’t very surprised to see that it was Sonia. She knew that Sonia wouldn’t go to sleep until she had given her all the exclusive details about her trip and date with Tom.

“Shouldn’t you be sleeping by now? What is Bryan doing, allowing you to stay on your phone for so long?” Lucy asked with false displeasure, and Sonia rolled her eyes.

“I’m pregnant, not bedridden. So, are you going to tell me about your date or do I have to grovel first?” She asked curiously, and Lucy giggled.

“I can’t say the date is over since we are still out here, right?” Lucy said with a grin as she sat on the bed.

“Where is your date, then?” Sonia asked curiously.

“He is waiting on the deck. I guess he knew the reason Candace called, so he wanted me to take my time with the phone call,” Lucy explained and Sonia smiled.

“Tom is a really cool guy,” Sonia said with approval.

“That he is. The very love of my life,” Lucy said and Sonia giggled.

She wondered if Tom had gotten her the yacht because he now knew she had changed her mind about marrying him. historical

There was no need to tell Lucy that Tom had overheard their conversation that night. She couldn’t wait to see the surprise on Lucy’s face when Tom hijacks her proposal.

“So? How do you feel being the owner of a yacht?” Sonia asked with a grin and Lucy sighed.

“I’m not sure I can explain it, but I think my happiness is mostly from the giver of the gift than from the gift,” Lucy said and Sonia mulled on it for a moment.

“You mean you’re more happy it’s a gift from Tom,” Sonia said and Lucy nodded.

“Yeah. Something like that.”

“So, how did it feel, flying alone with Tom? Did you do it?” Sonia asked with a wink since she had known of Lucy’s plan to have sex with Tom during the flight.

“Is Bryan not there with you?” Lucy asked with a raised brow.

“No. He just stepped into the restroom, hence I’m asking now,” Sonia assured her.

“Well, if you must know, I did it,” Lucy said with a grin and Sonia giggled.

“That’s my girl. I’m so proud of you,” Sonia said, feeling like a proud mother.

“Well, now I have one more thing I want to try. Let’s see how it feels on a yacht,” Lucy said with a wink and Sonia looked at Lucy with amused disbelief.

“You are becoming so wild, Lu. Even I, have never tried all of that before,” Sonia said and Lucy giggled.

“Well then, we can say the student is going to become the master soon,” Lucy said and Sonia laughed happily.

“You’re becoming something else, Lu,” Sonia said and she shrugged.

“I can’t help it. Andy is so beautiful by the way,” Lucy said, changing the subject.

“That she is. Did I tell you how I touched her boobs at the club?” Sonia asked with twinkling eyes, and Bryan came out in time to hear her, and he shook his head making her grin.

“Yeah, you did. I should show you a view of the deck,” Lucy said as she rose from the bed and walked out of the cabin to go outside.

Once she stepped onto the deck, she turned the camera towards the waterfall, and Sonia gasped softly when she saw it, thanks to the light from the resort.

“What is that?” Sonia asked in awe.

“The natural waterfall at the resort. It’s beautiful, isn’t it? It still takes away my breath away no matter how many times I’ve seen it in the last couple of hours since we got here,” Lucy said and waved at Tom, who was also receiving a call when he turned to look at her.

“Tom owns that place?” Sonia asked curiously.

“Yep.”

“Hold on, isn’t that the place you told me he took you to when you didn’t know his identity?” Sonia asked and Lucy nodded.

“Yes. Here is that place.”

“He ended up having you as he told you he would,” Sonia said with a giggle.

“And I have him too,” Lucy said as she turned away from the waterfall to show her around the deck and other parts of the water.

“Tom is so romantic and thoughtful. When did he plan all these? Or did he perhaps want us all there had we not changed our plans?” Sonia asked and Lucy giggled.

“You wish. He said he planned everything after Bryan and Jade said they weren’t coming to Ludus,” Lucy said, and Sonia smiled.

She had always known Tom was just the perfect man for Lucy and she was glad Lucy had decided to also make him the happiest man by marrying him.

“He is so good to you, Lu,” Sonia said and Lucy nodded.

“He is. What about you? How was your trip? Were you guys able to visit your parent’s gravesite today?” Lucy asked, and Sonia shook her head.

“No. We are at the hotel. We will do so tomorrow, and then fly back to Heden to get my stuff before coming back to Ludus,” Sonia said and Lucy nodded.

“Just don’t stress our baby too much, okay?” Lucy said and Sonia raised a brow.

“You care about the baby more than you do for me?” She asked and Lucy bobbed her head.

“Yes, I do. So don’t stress my godbaby too much,” Lucy said and Sonia scowled.

“Let it be known and recorded that you chose my baby over me. “I’m off to bed now, ex-best friend,” Sonia said dramatically and Lucy giggled.

“You’re so dramatic. Goodnight to you and say hello to Bryan.”

“Whatever. Bye. Wait, say hello to Tom. Bye,” Sonia said before hanging up, and Lucy giggled.

Before Lucy could turn back to meet Tom, he sneaked up behind her and hugged her from behind as he kissed the crook of her neck, and she sighed softly as she turned around to look at him.

“My love,” she called as she kissed him.

“Maybe I should bring you to the resort often considering how much you seem to like the waterfall. We can make here our favorite spot, what do you think?” Tom asked and Lucy nodded.

“Yes. It could be our getaway spot,” Lucy said and Tom nodded.

“Yes. That’s a good idea. Let’s go inside,” he said as he led her back to their cabin.

“I told the girls that we can use the yacht for Sonia’s bachelorette party. You don’t mind, right?” Lucy asked and Tom raised a brow.

“Why should I? The yacht is yours, so you can do with it as you please,” Tom said and Lucy smiled.

“I guess I can now tell you about the business I had to handle at the hotel,” Tom said and Lucy smiled.

“You went there because Harry was meeting Cassidy there. What I don’t get is why you left earlier than Harry and came back at the same time with him,” Lucy said as they walked into the cabin.

“I went to make sure the place was safe for Harry and it wasn’t a trap,” he explained and something clicked in Lucy’s brain.

“Is that the person your assistant was working for?” She asked as she turned to face him.

“Yeah. Sorry, I couldn’t tell you about it….”

“It’s fine. You don’t have to apologize. I like how you said you couldn’t tell me yet. I prefer it to being lied to,” Lucy said, and Tom nodded.

“Thanks. So, did you talk to her?” Tom asked, and Lucy smiled.

“Yeah, I did. She is beautiful, and I think she will blend in just fine,” Lucy said as she turned her back to him to unzip her dress.

“That is good to know. I was on the phone with Harry earlier. He likes her,” Tom said and Lucy smiled.

“Harry. You both have a really special friendship. So, what if it had been a trap? Would you have walked into it on his behalf?” She asked and Tom nodded.

“Why not? Do you have any idea the number of risks Harry has taken on my behalf?” Tom asked and Lucy smiled.

“No, I don’t. But I can tell you that your bromance is inspiring,” Lucy said as she stepped out of her dress.

“I wonder how much information your secretary gave him. Didn’t you guys carry out a background check on him before employing him?” Lucy asked, and Tom shrugged.

“We did. Cassidy must have done a thorough job on him,” Tom said, and Lucy nodded as she unbuttoned his shirt since he was still dressed.

“So, what now? Do you want to employ a new secretary?” Lucy asked curiously, and Tom shook his head.

“Nah. I think I’m done having secretaries. I don’t think I can trust anyone else,” Tom said dismissively, and Lucy looked at him with a mischievous grin.

“You know, I can be a director and your secretary. Part-time secretary, but you can only pay me in kind,” Lucy said with a wink and Tom chuckled as he took off his shirt.

“I am beginning to think I’ve spoilt you so bad that you want to take advantage of me at every opportunity you get,” Tom said with an amused smile.

“I guess you’re not interested in my offer then,” Lucy said with a shrug as she unfastened his belt.

“Can I ever say no to my queen? How do you intend to get paid?” Tom asked with mock seriousness.

“You know how,” she said with a naughty smile and he chuckled.

“How about I pay you three times a day then? Once before we start work, another during lunch break, and the last at the close of work. What do you say?” Tom said, and Lucy giggled.

“I don’t think I can keep up with your energy so I’m going to have to take my offer back,” Lucy said, and Tom laughed.

“You can’t do that to me,” he said as he ran his hands down her naked body and kissed the crook of her neck.

Lucy sighed with pleasure, “How about we find out what it’s like to make love on water since we’ve tried it in the air?” Lucy asked and Tom chuckled.

“I think you are going to keep up with my energy just fine,” he said as he stepped out of his pants.

“We will see about that,” Lucy said as she took his hands and led him to the bathroom so they could freshen up first before having their way with each other.
