Our Secret To Keep.

Chapter Thirty-Nine - Making Plans

(Just in case some people aren't familiar with Oban, which is mentioned. I thought I would share some photos with you 🙂. It is a beautiful place in Scotland. ) 

Kade

"Ladies first." I smile, pointing to the bath.

"Thank you, kind sir." Blythe giggles and slips into the warm bubble bath.

I am trying my hardest not to get distracted by her beautiful, naked body. I pour us each a glass of wine. She leans forward, and I slip in behind her. Smiling, Blythe rests back against my chest. I hand her one of the glasses before I wrap my arm around the front of her body, kissing over her shoulders.

"This is perfect," I say, taking a sip of my wine.

After everything that has been going on recently, it is nice to relax, the two of us, and take some of the stress off.

Blythe does the same and nods. "It really is."

She closes her eyes and lets out a loud sigh, a happy one, not a stressed one. I caress her stomach with my fingers, and she shudders under my touch. I smirk at her reaction, but don't say a word. I don't want to ruin the moment with my naughty mind. I stay silent. I am glad this is how our night is ending and not separately. I think, from when I left yesterday until we went to dinner, a part of me believed we were done. I thought she was done with me. I am happy she isn't. It would have been too hard. I would have tried to stay away, but I honestly don't believe I would have given up on her.

Hopefully, we won't have any unexpected visitors tomorrow, as we did the other morning. I am still worrying about the Beth thing, but I don't want to think about it. I want to enjoy my night with Blythe.

"Earth to Kade?" Blythe's giggle echoes through the bathroom.

I must have gotten lost in my thoughts. I glance down at her, her head tilts back as she looks up at me.

"Sorry, did you say something?"

"Are you okay? You went somewhere for a moment."

"I am fine." I smile and dip my head down, kissing her softly.

"Okay. I was going to ask if you might want to get away next weekend? We don't need to go far. Maybe we can go to Glasgow, Loch Lomond, or even Oban? I haven't been there for a long time. I used to go in the summer when I was a kid. Or is it too soon for that?" She smiles.

"No, it isn't too soon. Oban sounds good. It is stunning there. It has been a long time since I have been there, too. We can take a look once we get out of the bath and see where we can book."

I will happily go away with him for the weekend. I don't care if we have only been officially together for a few hours. I genuinely believe I would go anywhere she asked me to. I am like a lost puppy around her sometimes. It isn't a way I'm usually around women, but I knew from the moment we met that Blythe was different.

"Yes, sounds good. We can leave Friday afternoon and return Sunday evening."

"That works."

"We can tell anyone that we are going away, even separately, because it will look suspicious," she sighs.

"I know, beautiful. We can keep it between us." I reply and peck her lips before she looks ahead again.

I understand why we need to keep it a secret, but I really hope it doesn't always have to be this way. I want people to know I am taken, and that Blythe is all mine. I see the way men look at her and hit on her everywhere she goes. I will hate seeing that and not being able to do anything about it. I can be very jealous and possessive over what is mine. I don't mean in a controlling, shitty way. I mean, I like to take care of what is mine. I don't like other people touching what's mine.

"It won't always be this way..." I swear the woman can read my mind sometimes.

I kiss over her shoulder. "I know it won't be, baby girl."

Sooner rather than later would be nice, but we have to tread carefully. Not only will it set Beth off, but I don't know what her father would think of us being together, especially since he first tried to set me up with Beth, and we work together. I can deal with that when the time comes.

We stay in the bath, relaxing and enjoying our wine for a little while until the water starts to turn cold and we climb out. I get out first, offering her my hand, which she takes. The second she is on solid ground, I bring her naked body against mine and kiss her. She moans, slipping her arms around my neck, kissing back.

I part from the kiss and step away from her. Blythe glares at me. I laugh and wrap a towel around her before grabbing one for myself. "Don't worry, sweetness, once we dry off, I am all yours."

"Nope! Not after your little teasing. You aren't getting anything." She huffs and crosses her arms over her chest.

I shake my head, laughing loudly. "Yes, like that is going to last. I only kissed you. You were the one who got all horny."

"I will make sure it lasts." She states firmly, waggling her finger at me.

"Okay, sweetness, if you insist."

I don't give her a chance to respond. I smirk, turn and exit the bathroom, chuckling to myself. I hear her whine and curse from behind me. "I do!"

Who is she trying to kid? Blythe won't last ten minutes, but I will let her think she can, even for a bit, but she will break quickly. She can't resist me. I head to the bedroom and sit on the edge of the bed, waiting for her.

I hear Blythe come storming through a minute later, and she enters the room, glaring at me.

"What is wrong, sweetness? Did you realise I was right?"

She flips me off. "Challenge accepted. Have fun not getting laid tonight." She says smugly.

"Sure, angel," I reply.

My sarcasm is annoying her. She rolls her eyes and goes to get some pjs. The night should be interesting. I am curious how long she will be able to fight against it. I will give her half an hour at the most. She will break, especially when I tease her just because I can. She can resist my hands and lips all over her.
