“I guess we’ll just have to stay in bed all day then,” Colin uttered, too concerned with kissing her back to care if they got anything done that day
“I guess that wouldn’t be so bad,” Sabela whispered She wrapped her arms around his neck, and the two of them lost themselves in one another
It was an hour before he elorious encounter, this one focused on giving her asout of bed had vanished
As they lay there soainst him, and they watched the scenery outside the s
“It’s like a fairytale It’s so beautiful here,” she said dreamily
Colin was looking at her, though “It certainly is,” he said
She looked over her shoulder up at hi about her She lifted her torso and offered her lips to hiently take them
Everything felt different now The eh his an to think that perhaps he had been too focused on the wrong things
He had been living in the past for so long that he had forgotten what it was like to be fully present in the here and now
Sabela opened his eyes to the possibility of a different kind of future A future that didn’t involve being focused on the past or on revenge
She was here with hi different Putting Blanca’son, and with Sabela there, Colin ht be ready to do just that
Instead of revenge, he’d ht Sabela to hi because of what Trevor did wouldn’t heal, but he could move on from them
He could be happy again
Colin pulled Sabela closer and snuggled against her shoulder For now, he didn’t want anything else but to be with her
Chapter Thirty-Two
IT WAS WELL INTO THE LATE afternoon before Sabela left Colin’s rooet dressed One bath wasn’t enough, not after what they’d gotten up to after breakfast
The , nude, in her bathroom, she looked at herself in the vanity ood view
Her body was sore in all the right places, and her lips were swollen froood kind of sore that she savored The last twelve hours spent in Colin’s roo hours of her life
It was only because business hours back on the east coast of the USA started that Colin adet some work done He had sent her back to her room with a kiss that took her breath away and the promise to see her in a few hours at dinner
Sabela was grateful for a brief reprieve and the opportunity to get cleaned up It gave her some time to really think about what had happened between theht mean
She hadn’t expected anything like that to happen First, the an had become Colin, and now had become her lover in the span of just a few days
Sabela flushed as she thought about all of the ways he had taken her body It was like she was uilty
Not one bit
Years of working endless double shifts and skiet stretch that much further had taken its toll, but Sabela hadn’t realized how much it had taxed her until she was outside of it
Being in Switzerland made her realize that she was over stressed and close to breaking down
Colin was a desperately needed reprieve A vacation — the sexiest one she’d ever been on
The idea that she was supposed to play the part of his girlfriend didn’t seem so farfetched now It would be easy to pretend she cared for hi reality The more time she spent with hi deeper between them
The way he touched her was electric, and there was no denying his charence She had seen a side of Colin that she believed he revealed to few people While he acted gruff and aloof, when they were alone she saw there was a passionate, thoughtful man shielded beneath that prickly exterior
How close was she to finding the thorn in his paw?
Finished with looking herself over in the mirror, Sabela slipped into a bathrobe and wrapped her hair up in a towel It always took forever to dry
Upon the counter of the vanity, pushed aside after the aesthetician’s visit, was her purse With nothing else to do, Sabela found her phone within it and checked her notifications
There was a missed call from Trevor
Sabela frowned at the screen She knew that she hadn’t exactly left Trevor with any infor or when she would return, but on the other hand, she didn’t figure he cared enough about her whereabouts so long as he was being looked after
