Lover II- ML

286. Take Me Back

The streets of Begur had been kind and welcoming, the sights had been incredible and the spa treatment both Mapi and Kaia had made them feel as if they were floating.

It was good to get away, to find a moment to breathe, unwind and really celebrate each other.

At some point late afternoon, they made it back to their villa. But it was only to shower and change, to get ready for a private dinner down on the beach.

Because she could, Mapi sat on the bed and watched Kaia shower first. The way the screen misted and gave a blurry outline of Kaia's naked body from behind, the water trickling down the glass to give clearer glimpses. The way her hands glided down and around as she rubbed soap into her skin, tipping her head back to rinse her hair.

Mapi was absolutely captivated by the sight. She could watch Kaia all day, even if she was only reading, watching TV or asleep.

Just knowing she was right there, safe and happy, it had Mapi's mind at peace. It had her falling in love again and again.

Kaia flinches slightly when she feels a hand on the small of her back as she's drying her face. "God, you scared me." She chuckles as she turns to Mapi with a smile. "Are you getting in now?"

"In a second." Mapi replies mindlessly, her eyes watching a water droplet seductively travel the bottom of Kaia's neck and slowly down her chest.

"Hey," Kaia steps closer, her wet body pressing gently into Mapi's clothed one. "There'll be plenty of time later, but we can't be late."

Mapi's hands were already on Kaia's waist, now staring into her eyes mesmerised. "I love you."

"I love you too." Kaia whispers back, going against her own words as she leans in for a kiss.

She didn't really care about being late, not if it meant not ruining this sweet moment.

"I'll go shower." Mapi decides, griping Kaia's waist tighter to push her away, mainly to stop herself going back for more. "Then we wear our wedding perfumes, sí?"

"Absolutely." Kaia grins.

Kaia dried her hair and changed into a nice summer dress, waiting for Mapi to do the same before she gave her wrist and neck a spritz of perfume.

But the moment she did, the moment that particular fragrance was in the air, Mapi's body quite literally freezes. She turns and stares at Kaia like she was seeing her for the first time again. "Oh my god..."

Kaia chuckles, feeling emotional herself at the memories that come with the scent. "Wow... it feels like we're right back at Can Ribas."

Mapi feels her heart lurch, then her feet are carrying her right to Kaia. She doesn't wait, she doesn't ask for permission, she takes Kaia's face into her hands and kisses her deeply.

"Mapi!" Kaia manages to get out, but she was laughing, staggering back a step or two and kissing back just as passionately.

"Don't you ever leave me." Mapi begs breathlessly. "I know you won't, but promise me."

Kaia's smile slowly fades and she leans back just enough to see the tears slowly streaming down Mapi's face. "I promise you: I'll be yours forever, in this life and the next."
