Chapter 20

Micah to the side ^^^

I limp my way out of the house as I take a big breath of air. Constantly being on the island makes the smell of the sea even more pleasing and relaxing. We have been here for a few days already, and my hips seem to be constantly broken. This is all thanks to my handsome and caring mate sleeping without a care for the world in our room. Fortunately for me, the sea water here has been doing wonders to my skin.

I slowly make my way to the shore as I walk on pristine white sands before stopping just before I can touch the water. This will be the last day I will be able to contemplate such a beautiful view. I will definitely miss this island and the sound of the waves crashing on the shore. Maybe next year, we will be able to come back for a little longer than a week.

I stretch my limbs a little before making my way until I am waist deep into the crystal blue water. I shadow my eyes with my hands as I feel the reflection of the rising sun rays hit my eyes. Putting my sunglasses on, I lean down to submerge my whole body except for my head into the water. Leisurely, I start to swim to the deeper areas.

Once the sun is high up in the sky and the water has warmed up a bit, I decide to get back in. Wrapping the towel around my waist after drying properly my hair and body, I make my way to the bathroom which is on the second floor. Even before opening the door, I can clearly hear the water running on the other side. A smile creeps to my lips, before tiptoeing my way inside. Once I am behind my mate, I gently seize my mate's hips while shouting.

"What are you doing?" he asks with a smile stretched on his plump lips with a perfectly raised eyebrow.

"I tried to startle you," I pout since my prank didn't succeed.

"In that case, you'll have to work on your stealth skills. I could hear you perfectly," he answers cockily making me scoff. "Mostly this," he gently poked my forehead making me grumble.

"When are you going to instruct me how to suppress my thoughts?"

"Soon, but for now let's have breakfast. I'm starving," he tenderly kisses the top of my head before grabbing a towel and drying his dripping hair.

"I'll be joining you soon," I answer before carefully stepping inside the still running shower.

Without looking at his powerful back, I start to rapidly rinse off all the salt from the sea water and sand with some soap only after thoroughly washing my hair. Finished, I step out and wrap a towel around my waist and use the second one to dry my hair. I walk toward the sink and brush away the condensed water that is on the mirror. I look at my reflection and sigh. After we get back in the city, it will be a reality slap. Everything I have tried to avoid will come back. Even confronting Eva is something I don't want to do right now. This little cruise is like escaping reality.

Pushing these thoughts away, I hurry to put on a pair of sweatpants before heading downstairs. Once I enter the kitchen, all I can smell is the odour of bacon and pancakes. My mouth waters automatically as I sit on the chair behind the kitchen island. I hungrily observe my mate's naked back since he is also only wearing sweatpants as he cooks whatever he is cooking. He does have one hell of a body that is for sure. A tribal tattoo on his arm will be so dangerously sexy on him. I will one day talk to him about it and see how it goes.

He puts two plates with scrambled eggs, bacon, fruits, pancakes with maple syrup and a glass of orange juice. I instantly take the fork that is beside the plate before taking a piece of bacon in my mouth. The juicy and crispy piece of meat almost melts in my mouth making me moan. Without waiting, I dig into my chocolate chips pancakes. Damn, if I knew he could cook like that I may have mated him sooner.
