The Royal Contract

Chapter 221 - Another First Experience



"Wake up." He whispered as he nuzzled his nose on the side of her neck. "I have a surprise for you."

He always attempted to wake up early before her. It was not easy since she seemed to have an internal alarm clock that woke her before him. But when he did, he just enjoyed watching her sleep. 

It would seem creepy, but he felt lucky to be sleeping beside her. He also liked that her face would be the first thing he perceived as he opened his eyes. To him, it was the best feeling to start his day.

"Hmmm." She responded with a moan, loving the way he was kissing her. "Why are you up so early?" She slightly complained, still feeling the heaviness of her eyes. 

Probably from the restless sleep she had due to her terrible nightmare and the crying she did because of it.

"Actually, it is already mid-morning. You have been sleeping for quite some time." He corrected her. 

"What?" She abruptly sat up from the bed and looked at her phone for the time. 

The information suddenly woke her, and upon seeing the clock on the screen, she realized that she had overslept. It was something she had rarely done in her life.

"Why did you not wake me?" She complained, scrubbing her eyes to make her fully awake.

"Because you need your sleep. We came here so that you can also rest, and I am glad that you sleep like a baby." He informed her as he placed a single kiss on the top of her head.

"About last night." she suddenly remembered everything that happened. "I..."

"We will discuss it more later. But for now, we need to eat breakfast first. I am starving." He began to rub his stomach to make his point.

"You mean you waited for me." She looked at him with so much affection. She felt he did not have to do that. "You should have eaten and did not wait for me or wake me up earlier." She suddenly felt guilty for oversleeping.

"Hey, I wanted to wait, so it is not your fault. I enjoy it better if we eat together." He grabbed the tray that he already prepared and placed it on the bed.

"Ok." She did not want to argue with him since she knew she would not win with him anyway. "What else do you plan for us today?" She voiced out her curiosity.

"Well, I thought we could just enjoy the beach later before we leave." He informed her in between spoonful of the pancakes he prepared.

"But if you have any other suggestions, I am open to it." He offered, thinking that she might want to do something else other than lazed on the sand.

"Nah, I think that is perfect. I can use some color on my skin." She looked forward to sunbath under the sun.

Besides, she did not need them to do something else, just being with him was more than enough excitement for her.

After their breakfast, they lazed under a beach cabana, a few meters away from the waves. But Dani decided to move her lounge chair farther away from the shade, allowing the sun to graze her skin.

She wanted a slight color on her porcelain skin for a change. She liked a difference that would make her glow. She always liked the slight tinge of tan on Alex's skin, something that made him more manly and more attractive.

"Hey, can you put some lotion on my back?" She called Alex, who already had his shades on and comfortably lying on his back under the tent.

He quickly stood up and moved closer to her. "Sure." He untied her top to get more access to her skin as she laid flat on her stomach. He placed a good amount of the lotion on his hands and started rubbing her back with the creamy liquid.

"I meant to ask you this, but for a prince, why do you have slightly rough hands?" She quickly blurted out the question to satisfy her curiosity. She always wondered but always forgot to ask him about it.

Most born rich people she had the pleasure of shaking hands with usually have soft hands because they never used them with strenuous activities like hard labor. 

She found herself pondering on what he did that made his hands had some callouses. Working in an office all day with paper and pens would not produce such markings on his palms.

"One day, I will show you why. But for now, I will let that be a mystery for you to speculate and solve." He smiled at her, finding it interesting that she noticed his hands.

"Really?" She abruptly slightly turned her upper body to face him. "You're not going to tell me." She gave him a stinky look, telling him that she was not happy with his decision.

"Come on. I promise you will like it. It will be my next surprise." He swore to her, then guiding her back to her previous position as he started to massage her back. 

"I will look forward to that." She finally conceded, enjoying the sensation his fingers were doing on the muscles of her shoulders and back. "You keep doing that, and I might fall asleep right here."

"I won't let that happen." He announced, speaking near her ears and then tying the lace of her top again before standing up before her.

She slowly moved to a sitting position to fix her top, which was still slightly loose.

Before she knew his plans, he already picked her up from the chair and thrown her on his shoulders. He swiftly carried her like a sack of potato towards the waters.

"Oh my, put me down." She protested, slightly shocked by the suddenness of his action. 

But she was more astounded as she saw a glimpse of her upper swimwear on the sand near the chair. She realized that she was hanging on Alex's shoulder, topless, exposing the upper portion of her body.

"Sure." He shouted, and the next thing she knew, they were both descending under the slightly cold water.

"Oh, you are going to pay for that." She said with a shaking breath, a trembling body, and with her arms covering her naked breast under the water. 

Her body was still trying to adjust to the sudden drop in temperature of the water. But her mind was fuming, trying to find a way to get back at him.

Luckily, it was a private beach, and the next neighbor was very far away. Nobody witnessed his caveman's behavior and her embarrassment.

"Hey, I..." Then, he noticed the way her arms were protecting her body under the water. He realized then what he had done wrong. He thought that he had secured her top, but it appeared that he did not.

"Yeah, do you find this funny?" She asked, wondering if he was enjoying her dilemma.

"Nope." His expression quickly changed. "I find it very sexy." He moved closer to her and removed her hands, and placed them around his neck.

"Ah..." She was suddenly lost for words as she felt his body covered hers under the water. If she was freezing earlier, she suddenly felt like burning at his closeness. 

"I just want to enjoy every minute we have left together." He continued to utter to her in that low voice of his.

"Me too." She responded, finally finding her voice in the sensation his body was creating on hers. All her earlier anger dissipated as soon as their skin connected.

"Then, let us enjoy what is left of this day before we go back to the real world." He spoke softly to her.

In a few hours, they would be leaving this paradise to face the life they left behind. 

As much as he enjoyed their weekend together, he had a million things to deal with once he got back. His mind was already working on the first thing he would like to tackle.

But for now, he had to put it aside. He wished to concentrate on making their last moment together as memorable as possible. 

"Ok." She agreed with his plan, wanting to see what he was up to, excited to know what he would do next.

"You are so beautiful." He uttered as he entangled his fingers on her hair, making her tilt her face until she was looking directly into his eyes.

He lowered his face to hers, claiming her waiting lips. He caressed it with so much tenderness as his hands explored her body under the water.

He believed this would be another first experience for both of them.
