"No, I haven’t.”“What if we do more than have coffee? In forty-five minutes, I’ll meet you on the promenade deck over by the coffee and beverage area. Is that okay?" Adonis asked. "That sounds great," Safira agreed, fully smiling as he noticed those straight white teeth against her milk chocolate skin. How lovely, he thought."Okay, I'll see you shortly," Adonis said as he jogged away, waving bye, feeling all kinds of pheromones released in his soul like he did a million-dollar deal! “Yes, that's what you call raking in the dividends! For all your hard work! Cha-Ching! And that's how you make a profit!”~~~~~After his shower, Adonis enters the bathroom with a towel around his narrow waist. He begins trying on outfits that his stylist Claire had arranged for him to wear on this cruise. But he often changes his outfits, trying to decide which looks best he wants to impress her. Adonis hasn't been on the dating scene in years! He couldn't believe he was going on an actual date! He had
Adonis waited silently for her response but thanked God there was no ring on her finger.Clearing her throat with a slight smile, she sat her glass of juice down on the table, purposely making him sweat. “Now, real ladies don't speak of such things."Wrinkling his forehead, a surprised grin appeared on Adonis's delectable lips as he slid his hand on top of hers, tenderly touching her briefly. "Forgive me, I'm sorry; please forgive me." Adonis immediately felt embarrassed for leading with that question.Safira reluctantly slid her hand away from his warm, caressing one because it was way too comfortable intermingling with hers…she hoped he didn’t hear the fast offbeat of her heart throbbing hard against her chest. “For you to ask me that, it’s one or two things. You mistakenly have been with someone not of legal age, or I look some dang old to you.” “No, that’s not it. You don’t look old; I have had a few girls lie to me about their age. I'm not all that interested in sitting in pris
In the back of Adonis's mind, he felt that, at the end of this cruise, he would never see Safira again. The thought of that bothered him because, for the first time, he found a female that he thought was interesting, intelligent, and, of course, beautiful. He could stare at Safira for hours and not say a word. His instinct was to invite her on a weekend getaway after this cruise, but then he remembered he couldn't. For one, when he returns to the office, he has to finalize that Tokyo deal. And two being with her for only one or two weekends suffice or satisfy his desires. He knows he's going to want more time with her. That's how much he was enjoying this girl's company."Right, now I hate that I'm enjoying and dreading each day that passes by on this cruise." Over the next few days, it felt like they were in their own worlds, far away from reality. Adonis left behind all his worries about Tokyo, money, and his family. None of that mattered what others thought for the next several d
Safira also felt that special feeling surfacing around inside her mind and body, causing her to have dreams of him whispering, I love you, l love you, over again while he made exquisite love to her. They both waited for the right time for their dreams to become a reality. Right now, they both appear to be content with enjoying getting to know one another better. Adonis told her all about how he grew up and that he was the only boy with two older sisters."That explains why it's so easy to talk to you. You know how to make a female feel very comfortable," Safira says."Thank you. I guess it pays to have sisters," Adonis says, chuckling."It most certainly does." She said, winking at him and giving him a thumbs up. "You are a great listener and conversationalist."Safira told him about her interesting life, how and why her grandmother raised her, what her job entails, and how she got her start. Adonis laughed hysterically at her story about the 'Big Chop ' and how she cut all her hair
The following day, they greeted each other with gentle, sweet hugs, as they did every morning, giving one another the brightest smiles. But today was a little different because of what they did last night. After lunch, Safira suggested as they walked to her cabin."Adonis, I'm going to call it quits early today. I want to look my best tonight for the captain's dinner and dance. Especially since you asked me to go as your date tonight. I need my beauty sleep." She snickered.Yes, Adonis finally got up the nerve to officially ask her out last night and kissed her to solidify their relationship. Once he discovered neither of them had a significant other in their lives, that was his green light to go all the way."Okay, darling, get some rest, and I'll see you in a few hours," Adonis says, holding her soft hands in his. They stand before her cabin door, longingly gazing into one another's eyes. Adonis wishes she would invite him inside her cabin.Safira opened the door but leaned against
Adonis gave her his attention as his beautiful green eyes canvases over her smooth, coffee-colored skin enhanced by the dim lighting. “No. You're the first lady I felt compelled to say something like that to,” Adonis says as his gaze burns into her soul while a muscle barely tensed in his lean jaw. “Why is that? Maybe you've been captured by this romantic setting of being here on a cruise, making you utter such things.” She said, peering at him sensually.“The setting, as nice as it is, has nothing to do with my feelings. Everything about you is what I desire in a lady. I feel comfortable with you in every way. Talking, walking together, having a meal, and even dancing as we are. We fit like a hand in a glove. You must have noticed it from the first time we met.”Tilting her chin, Safira flashed a smile. “Yes, I noticed the instant connection. You're a first for me, too, in many ways.” Safira couldn't take her eyes off his lips, which formed this salacious smile with those perfect wh
Late that next morning, Safira awoke smiling, thinking about the captain's dinner. It was a night made of dreams and wonderment. When Safira rose out of bed, it was afternoon. Safira called Adonis earlier and canceled breakfast because she was too exhausted from last night. She took a shower and got dressed in an all-white outfit, topping it off with a wide-rim white hat. She began to excitedly pack a few things for this excursion. She wore all-white swimsuits and many other sexy, cute outfits for the cruisers to be on land. She'll be spending two days and nights on this beautiful tropical island. The ship docked at this lovely island, where the passengers would have a two-day excursion on land. You could see the sunny beaches from the ship as the passengers began exiting the cruiseliner.Adonis and Safira met that afternoon at the unloading deck. You could tell by the expressions on their faces as they gazed at one another up and down. One thing is for sure: They definitely had fee
The drive to the Villa was quiet as they took in the magnificent sights! The drive was pleasant and relaxing. He used this time to think. ‘This will be a pressure-free, all-expense paid holiday, have it your way, Safira, vacation. I'm going to wine and dine her with romance but with no more physical contact. Right now, she doesn't know that she wants to trust me. But after this holiday, she is not going to be able to get enough of me. Lord, this is going to be difficult. But I must do it! I can do it! When I’m done, she will be begging me to…’ Adonis slid his eyes over at her with a mischievous grin. Safira wanted to say something to him even now, but she just couldn't do it. Adonis looked so happy and content to be with her. "Poor thing he's so into me. How can I break his heart."Safira saw life shining in those unbelievable eyes that were dark and full of sin when she first met him. Looking at the love and brightness, it's melting all her defenses. The only thing that came out of
