THR33 DIFFERENT WOMEN. Part 53.
Waking up to that face beside him was too wonderful for words. Even the way she breathed was special. The dark, almost black, curtain of hair covering one eye. He could watch her sleeping all day long. Would do if she allowed him to film her. That was a no, no. Nefertiti didn't like being photographed, let alone filmed. That was her pet name now. Shortened to Nef. The resemblance between the Egyptian queen and Leilani was plain as day. Although his lovers near perfectly symmetrical features were the result of genes and not a sculptors artifice. Her long eyelashes flickered open. She smiled warmly at him as he brushed aside the locks obscuring her face. As he puckered up for a good morning kiss those brown eyes widened.
"Shit. It's almost eight thirty."
He rolled out of bed so fast he didn't have time to do anything except thump to the floor. Jay searched frantically for his clothing. He needed to get back to shower then dress for work. Get out of here before their tryst was discovered.
"Have you seen my other sock?"
Nef was laughing at him. This wasn't funny, the two of them had to keep this on the down low.
"There's probably a clean pair in your dresser." She paused as he continued crawling around on the floor searching for clothes. "This is your room, you tool." She collapsed with laughter again. "My brave hero panicking like a naughty schoolboy, I love it. I love him, but this comes a close second."
"Leah or Janie will be here shortly to tidy, so you've got to get a move on to." Was all he could come up with before he headed to the bathroom.
Her slipping into the shower with him didn't help matters. He was going to be late, even later if they fooled around. It was at that moment he had an epiphany. He was his own boss. He could turn up for work whenever he wanted. As long as the admin was taken care of by the following day, nothing else mattered. Nef needed a good wash. All over. Plenty of soap. Once he'd completed her, the favor was returned, as Nef washed him down from top to bottom. Except she only got half way before things suddenly became far more interesting. Before it could become fascinating there was a knock. One he couldn't ignore. If it was Leah or one of the other staff, they'd wait, knock again then enter. He grabbed a towel on his way to answer it. The rock hard erection would have to be concealed behind the door. Finding Miss Boyle and Tianni standing there, was a huge shock to his system. They were looking at him expectantly.
"We were going down to take breakfast Mr Livingston. Tianni wondered if you might like to join us."
Talk about rock and a hard place. His libido was telling him no. His conscience insisted yes was the correct answer.
"Ummmm... I've got a few things to take care of first... I don't want to keep you waiting, I expect you've got things to do as well."
The two of them looked at each other.
"Yes. You're taking us to Suvisi Mr Livingston."
True, he'd had to arrange everything.
"Surely, that's not until Saturday."
Tianni rolled her eyes.
"Today is Saturday." She advised
Holy shit. What had happened to Thursday and Friday? Oh yeah. Leilani had happened. Several times.
"Oh. I'll be with you as soon as I can then. Didn't get much sleep last night I'm afraid."
Tianni rubbed her fingers together nervously.
"I hope you don't mind, but I asked Aunt Leilani if she'd like to come along. I think she's not as mad with you as she was. Since you got the two of us talking. She was really angry about that, even after we talked. I should have told you I suppose."
There was no way he could deny the request, even though it was a potential minefield. He didn't want to either, but he and Nef would have to be so careful not to reveal they were together.
"I expect we'll rub along alright. Might be a chance to get know each other."
Tianni did a little jig of joy.
"We're just going to fetch her."
"NO!" Jay exclaimed loudly. Holly and Tianni were now regarding him with fear for his well being. Too late he understood there was in fact no reason why they shouldn't walk all the way to Leilani's rooms. "Sorry.... I forgot to do something last night... Now it's too late." Maybe he should have stopped there, but that would have been too easy. "You go fetch her. Although I think I saw her a little while ago, crossing the courtyard. It's well worth checking though. She might be back already. I didn't want you to get disappointed if she wasn't there."
Holly was giving him a concerned look. He was one more brain fart away from her feeling his forehead.
"It'll be good for you to relax Mr Livingston. I think you may have been driving yourself too hard, after your injuries. You should take things more slowly, until you fully recover."
The day was young and already chock full surprises. A few more were on their way. Leilani was already dressed when he got back to the bathroom. Her still damp hair puled back into a loose ponytail. She ran her finger down his chest, lingering at the scars. A wicked smile on her gorgeous face. Pulling his hand flat she held hers clenched over it, before dropping her panties onto it.
"This is just so you know I won't be wearing underwear today. I'm going commando." He shambled after her, his towel dropping to the floor, as she exited. The next thing he knew Nef had his window open. Then she climbed out. "I can take a short cut and be there before they are." Her head disappeared below the sill, popping up again immediately. "Kiss." He could do nothing except oblige.
Like all men, Jay had fooled himself into believing he'd witnessed all facets of the woman he loved. Like all men he was wrong. Just how wrong became apparent over the course of the weekend. It started with their breakfast together. Princess Leilani shaking his hand as they met. Expressing her wish that the two of them could become friends, or at least be civil towards one another. He was wearing shorts and a t-shirt. It was going to be a leisurely weekend after all. Nef had on a classy designer outfit. With a skirt that was far too short for her current underwear situation. She had to be practising for her forthcoming public appearances, representing the island. Preparing him for the days ahead. During which she'd be the complete picture of decorum and royal reserve. Her shoving a naked foot up the leg of his shorts soon disproved that assumption.
On the boat trip to Suvisi Island she sat with Miss Boyle, while he was seated alongside Tianni. Who was happily chattering away. She'd been looking forward to this for far too long. Partly due to his infirmity. The first time he thought it was accidental. The second time Jay considered the possibility it might be intentional. By the fourth time he knew she was deliberately flashing him her absence of panties. This while keeping up a conversation with Holly. Plus ensuring no one else was aware of her activities. Especially Tianni. Impressive multitasking, considering he could hardly keep track of what the young girl was saying. If he kept his head down, Nef wouldn't be able to distract him.
"Have we got any idea when we'll be heading back Stateside?" He inquired, knowing he would be on safe ground.
"Actually we're waiting on you and Captain Rogers. Although he said we could safely travel as soon as you decide. The captain is confident you'll be able to handle all the security arrangements." Holly informed him, giving Nef the opportunity to distract him again.
It was as though her groin was an eye magnet. Which, in a way, it was. It also attracted other parts of his body.
"So what are we doing when we get there?" Jay continued, trying to retain some composure and failing miserably.
"Whatever you want." The youngster replied. "I'm looking forward to seeing grandpa when he gets there. Jacob to. You know, everyone."
They could see Jay was completely lost from his dumb expression. Holly again looked as though she was going to check him for a fever.
"You do know this is your trip don't you?" The governess asked. "Although I must say I'm going to enjoy seeing Liz, Gerard, Jacob and Sophie again. In the flesh. Video calls aren't the same are they?"
It was another ten weeks before Miles and Lev got back. Jay hanging on for them after discovering what they were up to. He could hardly take a vacation while those two were tracking down the assholes who'd tried to kill everyone. Marie didn't give any details of their activities. In that time Palau returned and set off again. After briefing his daughter on precisely what was going on. That was in the future. Right now he was on spectacular Pacific island, with a beautiful Pacific islander who was taking liberties with his person. Sexual harassment didn't cover the full breadth of her sins against him. Nor the numerous heart attacks she tried to give him. The worst being their final afternoon on the island. When she dragged him away, for what he thought would be a quick session of passion. Finding her waiting on the clifftop naked as the day she was born. Then watching her dive off it into the water forty feet below. His wail of anguish being heard by the others who radioed him immediately. That took a lot of explaining. Far less than the enigma he'd fallen for.
