Unconditional Love (Journey of Love #1)(82)

I placed my finger on her chin and lifted her eyes to mine. “After this, we’re leaving. I want to see what’s under this amazing dress you’re wearing.”

She gave me the sexiest smile and said, “Not much.”

“Oh Christ.”

“Ladies and gentlemen. Mr. and Mrs. Michael Williams.”

Before the song started I said, “I loved you the first moment I saw you, Azurdee.” I shook my head and said, “I pray to God I’m not dreaming right now.”

Brad Paisley’s “Then” began playing, and Azurdee instantly began tearing up. When the chorus began, I pulled her to me tighter and put my lips to her ear and began singing to her. I could feel her crying in my arms, so I held her tighter.

As I sung the song to her she kept grabbing my shirt in her hand. When the song ended we just stood there. I knew she was crying still, so I gave her a few seconds before I pulled away from her. I smiled as I wiped her tears away with my thumbs and gently brushed my lips across her lips.

Katy Perry’s “Dark Horse” started and Azurdee and I both looked at each other. She bit down on her lip and then said, “What a perfect song to start off our journey.”

I gave her the sexiest smile I could and began dancing with her. “Just remember, our parents are here,” she said as she raised her eyebrow up.

I laughed as I pulled her to me so she could feel my hard-on. “I want you,” I whispered.

She let out a small moan and said, “Give it to me.”

Her eyes darkened and my heartbeat picked up. I slowly shook my head and took a few steps away from her. “Say good-bye to your parents. I’ll meet you in the kitchen in two minutes.”

She made a little squeak sound and turned and walked toward her parents as I turned and walked to mine. I couldn’t help but laugh at the irony of it all. The first time that damn song played I was in control and now…she was the one in control and I was ready to do or give her anything she wanted.

Ten minutes later we were in my truck and making our way to where the helicopter was. When we pulled up, Azurdee sat there, frozen.

“We’re…flying…in a…helicopter?” She turned and stared at me.

Oh shit. I hadn’t even thought she might be afraid of flying in a helicopter.

I looked back at it and then back at her. “Umm…yeah. Shit, I didn’t even think to ask if you would be okay with it.”

She jumped out of the truck as I got out and walked over to her. She looked at it and then turned to me. “Are you flying it?”

“I was gonna, but…” She put her finger up to my lips and said, “Stop talking. I’m so incredibly turned on right now you have no idea.”

Now it was me who wanted to make the little girly sound. I quickly kissed her on the lips and grabbed our suitcase out of the back of the truck. I had told Azurdee where we were going and to pack light because I intended on having her naked most of the time. We both packed all our stuff in one suitcase.

I grabbed her hand and we made our way over to the helicopter. I saw Jason standing there and I smiled. “What in the hell?” I said as I walked up to him.

“Azurdee, it’s a pleasure seeing you again.”

Azurdee smiled and said, “Yes, it is. Things going well with you?”

Jason nodded and said, “Yes ma’am.”

He looked back at me and said, “When Skip said you called in a favor I told him I had to be the one to deliver this to you. I’ll take your truck back to your parents beach house, and I believe your brother Tristan will be here to pick you back up in two weeks.”

I nodded and said, “Sounds good. Thanks so much, Jason.”

As I got Azurdee all buckled in and secure, I looked down and saw her gripping the seat so hard her knuckles were turning white.

I handed her the headphones and gave her a thumbs-up as she gave me a weak smile. I headed over and got in and put my headphones on. I looked at her and said, “Baby, are you afraid of flying?”

She let out a nervous chuckle and said, “Not in planes. In a helicopter, with my husband flying it? Yes. I’m nervous.”

I got the goofiest grin on my face and my heart felt like it was soaring. She looked at me and said, “What?”

“Say that again?”

She made a funny face and asked, “Which part?”

“The part where you called me your husband.”

She smiled and bit down on her lower lip. “I said I was nervous that my husband is fixin’ to fly us in a helicopter.”

I reached for her hand and kissed the back of it. “You know I would never put your life in danger, right? I’ll always protect you, mi amor.”

She nodded her head and said, “I know. I’m totally okay. I’m just ready to get out of this dress.”

“Is what you’re wearing under the dress going to steal my breath away like your wedding dress did?”

She looked away and shrugged. “Most likely. Especially since you can see through it.”

“Oh hell. Let’s go. Now.”

She laughed and I went through all the preflight protocol. Before long we were on our way and Azurdee was talking up a storm. She was excited, exhausted or nervous as hell. I was betting on the last.

As we landed on the helipad, I looked at Azurdee. She let out the breath she was holding and looked at me and gave me thumbs-up…again. It must have been the twentieth one she gave me since I took off. I laughed and shut down the helicopter. I’d never been to Skip’s place here, but from the looks of it, it was pretty nice.

I grabbed the suitcase and then her hand as we made our way to the house. A young lady came out and introduced herself to us.

“Hello, Mr. and Mrs. Williams. My name is Maria. Mr. Martin asked me to make sure that you were well taken care of for the next two weeks. I’m at your complete disposal.”

Azurdee and I both shook her hand. Azurdee said, “Oh my gosh, it is beautiful here.” The house faced out to the Gulf of Mexico and I had to admit the view was breathtaking.

We made our way into the house and Maria showed us around as she asked her husband Jose to take our suitcase to the master bedroom.

“Now any meals you would like for me to cook, just let me know ahead of time so that I can prepare them for you. Jose will also be stopping by if you need anything. We live in a small cottage just on the other side of the property, but just push this button and it will call my casa.”

Azurdee and I both nodded our heads. When she finally showed us to the master bedroom Azurdee collapsed onto the bed. I turned and looked at Maria and said, “I’m pretty positive we won’t be needing anything tonight. Maybe breakfast in the morning?”
