To Caress My Day

Chapter 219: January 16th

On January 16th, Seth forced himself to wake up bright and early. Conscientious to not rouse the naked woman beside him, he slid out of bed, jumped into the shower, got dressed, and went to the kitchen where the staff were assembling to whip up some breakfast for the couple. After exchanging a few words with them, the group initiated the new change of plans for the morning. Seth, under their thorough supervision, was going to assist them on making his girlfriend her birthday breakfast. Once the basic masterpiece of eggs, toast, sliced fruits, pancakes and orange juices was complete, the culinary staff shooed Seth off to his girlfriend with the loaded platter so they could tarry behind to spruce up the kitchen. Taking the silver platter brimming with food with him, Seth entered the bedroom that had the hot tub constructed behind a large plain of glass. They had selected this room to crash into last night.

Twigs was already awake but didn’t wish to pull herself out from under the snug comforter, and so she laid there with her closed, reminiscing on this adventure her boyfriend surprised her with for her birthday. Perhaps she should use the term ‘husband’ considering they’ve been pretending to be a married couple during their stay here. Smiling blissfully to herself, Twigs let out a sigh as she tranquility laid there listening to the sound of the ocean waves crashing onto the shore. It felt like a gift from heaven itself to be able to vacation here, to forget all about her troubles back in London and instead fixate on the extraordinary reality that Coco Prive Island was giving her. Really it was a gift from Seth that was impossible to defy when it came to its lavish perks and opportunities. Kicking back to everlastingly relax or have fun was an extravagance Twigs couldn’t afford alone on even her heftiest paycheck!

Lucky her she wasn’t expected to forfeit a penny from her pocket. There was no expected reimbursement with this bill or that bill, to find a way to put food on their dining table, or grinding herself against someone on camera for a music video. Her only expectation, her only responsibility was to sit back and allow everyone else to carry out her every command like some regal Queen of this island.

Too submerged in her own good fortune, Twigs didn’t hear Seth entering the bedroom until she felt a dip on his side of the bed behind her. Opening her eyes, she rolled herself over to smile up at her man wearing swimming trunks and a blue unbutton shirt with cream colored tropical flowers printed across it. She was about to greet her ‘husband’ good morning when her lazy brown eyes dropped to the silver platter he lowered onto the bed. It was loaded with dishes of food that were decorated in between with exquisite tropical flowers of every shade. Jerking her head up off the pillow, Twigs gawked at the splendid spread and hoarsely inquired. “Is this for me?”

“It is.” Seth whispered down to her with a smile, his brown eyes locking onto her face. “Happy Birthday, my stunning wife.”

“Oh my god, thank you, husband!” Twigs squealed, then turned on her side to prop her head up on her hand to query again because there was a whole lot of food for just one person to consume on their own. “Are you sure this is just for me?”

“Alright alright, you win! It’s actually for the both of us.” Seth yielded with an eye roll then issued a jest. “Just because it’s your birthday doesn’t mean a man needs to starve to death on it, Pixie.”

Twigs knew it! Letting out a laugh she helped herself to some of the sliced fruit. Seth grabbed a piece of buttery toast and used a fork to carefully maneuver some scrambled eggs onto it. The couple ate in a comfortable silence centered on filling their bellies. Only after there were a few bites left on the tray did Seth finally speak and by that time he was lying down on his back nibbling on some mangoes. His warm brown eyes drifted to her and stayed there. “So birthday girl, what do you have planned for today’s adventure? Remember anything you want will be granted without question.”

Smiling at her oh-so-powerful man, Twigs got to mulling over on today’s adventure while chewing on her banana. “Hmm…let me think on it for a second.”

Seth patiently waited for her to finish her banana so he could toss the peel for her into an empty bowl. Now that the tray was practically empty, he transported it to the circular glass table near the end of the bed. While his back was to her, Seth let her know. “I have an idea in case you need one.”

“You do? What is it?” Twigs asked him with a hint of surprise in her voice. Instead of simply telling her what his plan was, Seth turned around to stroll to the end of the bed where he then crawled on his hands and knees over the footboard and up the bed like a panther ready to pounce on its prey. It was clear by his sexy smirk and the look in his eyes that sex was 1,000% his plan all along. But Twigs was ready for him when he crawled onto her and attempted to lower his lips to hers. Swiftly, she thwarted him with a hand on his mouth before their lips could meet. With a grin on her face, she said. “Actually…I have something else on my mind.”

“Like what?” Seth’s muffled voice came from behind her hand, his brows furrowed inquisitively.

Gliding her hand from his mouth, Twigs challenged him. “You, my dear husband, are coming to the gym with me, your loving and devoted birthday wife.”

Hearing the word gym being dropped reminded Seth of the talk they had last night over dinner. The talk of challenging one another on what they could withstand in terms of physical activity during her birthday week on the island. Catching the glimmer in Twig’s eyes assured him that she was gonna run him ragged. Letting out a groan that was almost a mix with a whine, Seth collapsed his entire weight on his ‘wife’. With his voice dampened in the crook of her neck, he relented to his birthday girl’s challenge. “Fine. What do you have in mind?”

“Paddleboarding and kayaking today.” Twigs listed to him with a grin on her face, her arms coming around him although he was beginning to squash her. “And perhaps some more stuff depending on how tuckered out you get.”

Slithering himself down her body to take his weight off of her torso, Seth snuggled his face in her lap and moaned with exhaustion at the sports she had set out for them. “Honey, I’m already tired after hearing the word kayaking and paddleboarding in the same sentence.”

Twigs let out a laugh, her hands massaging the muscles of his shoulder. “Have you ever done either of those before?”

“I’ve never paddle boarded before.” Seth admitted, pondering on it as he turned his head to the side to be heard. “I think I might have kayaked though. I don’t really remember.”

Running her fingers through his short hair next, Twigs promised him. “Well, you’re doing both of them today! At least those two.”

Seth nodded his head with a hum, his eyes closed in relaxation from her fingers combing through his hair and the tip of her nails occasionally scraping against his scalp. “Paddleboarding and kayaking, eh?”

“Yup.” Twigs confirmed, excitement shivering through her. She couldn’t wait to experience these with him, the man she loved most in all the world.

Frowning to himself, Seth asked her. “That’s the one where you’re sitting on the boat like a canoe paddling around in the water right? Or was it the one standing on a board paddling around in the water?”

“They’re actually both.” Twigs said. “The first one you described is kayaking and the second one is paddleboarding.”

Nodding in understanding, Seth tried to picture himself trying these sports out. It didn’t look too hard to him when he envisioned it. Lifting his head to look up at her, he asked. “When do you wanna start, wife?”

“I’m probably gonna need an hour to fully wake up and get ready.” Twigs surmised, now pondering on which bikini set Simone and Odette selected for her she should wear. Perhaps the micro bikini that left nothing to the imagination. That would certainly drive her ‘husband’ up the wall! “Then we can go!”

“Alright.” Seth said as he hoisted himself off of her and the bed. “I’m gonna let the staff know our plans for today then.”

“Thank you, my husband whom I love oh so much!” Twigs said while stretching, extending a hand to him.

Taking it in his, Seth kissed the back of her hand. “Happy Birthday, my wife whom I love oh so much!”

Hopping into the nearest shower, Twigs doned the the micro bikini under a sarong. Seth would be able to see the top micro-half of her bathing suit, but not the lower half. She honestly wasn’t sure which part would drive him the craziest. Scrapping her idea, she untied the sarong from her hips only to tie it higher up so it concealed her entire micro bikini. Yes, this would work perfectly!
