A difficult check in, a ridiculous delay, and a horrible flight had me rethinking all my vacation plans. When I finally arrived on Providence, the sun had set and all I wanted was another drink and a bed, in that order.
The next morning I woke inside my stunning cabana. White bead board wainscoting anchored lemon yellow walls, reaching for the wood beam vaulted ceiling. Across the room, behind the sheer fluttering curtains, large bay windows beautifully framed the palm trees and hibiscus flowers surrounding my temporary home. I had flung out the sash, and was breathing in the tangy fresh scent of the sea when I heard the knock on the door.
I was certain some handsomely, rugged pirate stood outside ready to claim me. Smiling, I decided I wasn't one to argue.
"Good Morning, Room service," the sultry voice told me.
So not a pirate I thought, but his voice was delicious enough to sound like one.
I scrambled into the oversized cotton robe the resort supplied, opened the white pine door and set my eyes on the most fantastic looking non-pirate I have ever seen. I stand 5'5 but he was at least a foot taller with a thick head of inky black hair, dominating gray eyes, and a lusciously full mouth. All this set in a handsomely chiseled face bronzed by the sea winds and the Caribbean sun.
Nope he wasn't a pirate, just the very image of any woman's seafaring fantasy.
Stepping behind the door, he coated me with more of that well aged scotch voice as he entered my room.
"Good Morning Ms Henderson, welcome to Far Horizons Resort. I have your breakfast. I'm Luke, the personal assistant assigned to you, during your stay.
"Thank you Luke. But, please call me Kate."
"Kate it is then. Would you like the tray on the lanai?"
"Umm, yes please."
I watched this hunk of man take purposeful strides across the room. Along with the nice wide shoulders, his muscular back narrowed to the best ass I have ever seen on a man.
With solid thighs that had my hands itching. Oh yes, I thought to myself, it has been far too long since I have seen anyone, other than myself, naked. I pulled my mind from the gutter, just before Luke bent over, placing the tray on the table. My black eyes widened as his shorts tightened, outlining the muscles in those thighs, and the obvious in-between. My pulse raced and a liquid heat began to curl in my belly. Luke was relaxed, but even still he was rather impressive. Could I handle something that large? The idea boggled the mind.
My imagination headed for sexual overtime and my heart pounded, my womb fluttering. He glanced around, muscles twitching the corner of his mouth. He knew I appreciated the view, so I did little more than smile at the mischievous flash in his eyes.
"If you walk down those steps, along the stones and beyond the roses, you'll be on the beach." Luke's head gestured toward the walkway off the lanai, "That path is accessible only from this room. You share this part of the beach, but only with the two cabanas on either side."
When Luke turned around to lean against the bamboo rail, a thick brow rose in surprise, taking in my open robe. The heat in the room notched up as eyes skimmed my long legs, over the curve of hips and waist, ending on the swell of my 38 triple D breasts.
Remembering there was nothing more than a silky, royal blue chemise between him and my rich coffee hued skin, I decided to play. Fueled by my active imagination and the sea air, my nipples hardened as I leaned against the lanai doors. One hand clutched behind me, the other teasing the dark brown curls surrounding my face.
"The ocean sounded close, but I was too afraid to go exploring alone." I walked over to stand beside him at the railing, feeling his eyes follow me all the way. "It would have been nice since the concierge did mention the moon was full last night."
"Then I am sorry they didn't tell me you had arrived. It would have been my pleasure to walk you around the grounds. The gardens are in bloom, and the blossoms are beautiful in the moonlight."
Did Luke's voice sound strangely rough, or was I just hoping?
"That would have been nice." Wickedly, I slipped a hand down his arm, feeling his muscles twitch all the way. "A fabulous room, breakfast, and now a personal assistant, this resort has me feeling like royalty." I admitted laughingly, trying to keep some composure.
"Good, we try to pamper and it sounds as if we are succeeding." He cleared his throat then, hand lingering on my back as he turned toward the rail. "If you are interested, the beach will be empty today. The neighboring cabanas are vacant, so you and your companion will be alone."
"Actually I am here by myself." I answered, wheels spinning in my head. Flushed with embarrassment I glanced up, spying the flash of hope briefly covering his face. I covered the flame rising in my cheeks by sniffing the rose blossom on the breakfast tray. "Anyway, I am sure there are plenty of tours available to keep me occupied."
Luke walked past close enough to feel his hip brush my rear, "There are other singles on island this season. I know you'll make friends while you're here." Stopping at the room door, he turned, "Kate, if you should need anything else, the front desk can page me, or call me from the room phone. The assistant extension is 21089. On the other hand, if you prefer, here is the number to my cell. Feel free to call...at any time." The hunger in his voice was unmistakable.
"Thank you Luke. I'll try not to bother you too late at night."
