Cy's P.O.V

Why can't I seem to control my thoughts?! As the water runs down my back all I can think about is how I'd like nothing more than to have Aurora here, looking into my eyes as I take her in this shower. No! Focus, I'm here to show her that no one deserves her more than me and that what happened thirteen years ago laid the foundation of the future I have planned for us. Getting out of the shower I dry myself off then head into the bedroom and find Aurora fast asleep, what Kim put in her drink must've been really strong if she's still sleepy. I move a strand of her hair away from her face and tuck it behind her ear, this causes her to move her face closer to the palm of my hand, moving against it, like a kitten would against its master's leg. Just the mere touch of her face gets me excited, I take this time to really look at her, the colour of her hair, her skin, her lips to the shape of her body, it all just falls perfectly on her. She's the true definition of perfection and even when I meet another woman I can't help but compare her to Aurora, my beautiful sweet Aura.

"I'm not going down without a fight angel." I whisper to her before kissing her forehead then getting ready, leaving I make sure to write my number down on a sticky note and attach it on the bedside table.

"She'll be fine." Kim reassures me, patting my shoulder, "Plus Harper's here." She's right, why am I so worried? I fill Harper in on anything Aurora might like when she wakes up since, she'll be serving us while we're here, then we head out.

Aurora's P.O.V

Stirring in my sleep I rub my eyes and they flutter open, when did I fall asleep? Must be the jet lag. Getting up I notice it's sunset so I take a quick shower. Feeling refreshed I look around for a bag with my clothes in it but don't find one, I see a note on the bedside table.

+1 845 228 974
Call me if you need anything angel, we'll be back before dinner
- Cy

I don't know why but when I read the sticky note I smile absentmindedly, I decide to call him and he answers on the first ring.

Cy: What's wrong?

Aurora: Nothing uhm.. I can't find any of my clothes, what am I going to wear?

Cy: (softly chuckles) Your clothes are in our closet angel.

Aurora: Okay, thank you.

Hanging up I head into the closet and look through the clothes for something casual, I can't help but gasp when I notice that everything I pull out has a price tag and looking at the amount of clothes in here, these must have cost a pretty penny. Why would he do this? I have more than enough clothes but, I guess when you drug and kidnap a person to Bora Bora you forget to pack a few things. Finally deciding on a long white dress with light blue floral prints on it, I tie my hair into a high ponytail and head down stairs, I am starving. Opening the refrigerator I look for something to eat.

"Hmm." What to eat what to eat.

"Mrs Kensington?" Someone says from behind me.

"Ah!" I jump up screaming, hitting my head against the refrigerator door. "Ouch." I whisper rubbing the side of my head.

"Oh dear, I am so sorry Mrs Kensington it was not my intention to frighten you." She says closing the fridge and helping me sit on one of the stools around the island.

"Mrs Kensingt-" I try to question but she interrupts me.

"Let me get you an ice pack." I watch her open the deep freezer and take out a packet of frozen peas, wrap them around a cloth then gently place them on my head. "There, that should feel much better." I gladly exhale and just nod my head yes. "I'm assuming you were looking for something to eat?"

"Yes but I'm sorry, who are you?" I try to ask politely and she giggles a little.

"My goodness where are my manners, my name is Harper and I will be your chef during your stay here, I will also be taking care of anything else around the household." This big place, all by herself?

"Alone?" I ask and she offers me a smile.

"Yes, I have fifteen years of experience to help me cope. I'm almost done preparing what I made for you, could you please give me a few minutes and then I'll dish up."

"Oh okay, sure, I actually wanted to explore the house a little so I'll go do that." I say getting up and heading upstairs, I enter, explore and exit every room upstairs, entering the last room my heart flutters. "A library." I gleam when I see the large collection of different books, the room is so beautifully decorated, giving it a forestry feel with vines on the wall and different coloured butterflies on the wall. It looks like a fairytale! Tracing my finger through the books I just pick one on a whim and choose to read it, I must have immediately lost myself in the book because I hear a light knock at the door.

"Yes?" Harper comes in carrying a tray.

"When you didn't come back I had assumed you'd found a room you liked. Mr Kensington did say you'd adore this room the most, that's why he asked me to change the decor." She explains putting the tray down, mm lasagna! Wait, Cy did this?

"I love lasagna, thank you Harper." I offer her a smile and she returns it.

"Mr Kensington made sure to tell me everything you like so I could prepare it for you when you wake up. Well, enjoy oh and dinner will be ready in two hours." She says exiting, still holding the book I reach for my plate and securely place it on my thighs then start eating. I can't believe that even after all this time apart he still knows pieces of me like the back of his hand. I make a side note in my head to thank him later then continue eating and reading. Feeling my body being moved I stir and softly open my eyes.

"Cy?" I say softly looking at him as he carries me. He offers me a small smile then looks ahead.

"You fell asleep reading so I'm taking you to the bedroom, I'll come get you when dinner's ready, go back to sleep."

"Okay." I whisper then close my eyes. "And thank you for the library, I love it." I add. Somehow his scent and the way he's holding me become my lullaby, quickly putting me to sleep.
