1349 Words
They made love only twice last night, though Rikkard wanted more,....he wanted make love all night. There was something about her that always made him curious, intrigued,...... something in those large almond eyes or her simple smile, something that always made him to hold on and never to let go. He really never met somebody like her, he knew it because he met plenty. He never craved for attention until he tasted hers. His trance broke when she suddenly shifted and was half on top of him.....he smirked
'hey' Rikkard whispered as he brushed away his wife's hair that was sprawling all over half of her pillow and his shoulder,.....a sigh of contentment left his mouth watching her cuddled close to his much larger body,......his mouth quirked up thinking how tiny she was compared to him and as if instinct, his arm tightened around her protectively.
She just moaned in return and he tensed,....
no Rikk! not again, control yourself,.....you have plans remember! Don't exhaust her! He just took a deep breath and nudged her 'wake up!'
"why" She whined opening her sleep deprived eyes
'because....I've to show you something, get ready, a simple dress will do just fine! We'll eat out' He said admiring her sated look when she let out a huff and sat up straight taking half of the bed sheet to cover herself.
"where are we going!"
'that's for me to know and you to . . . '
Weekends are the best......but traffic can be pretty bad especially during this time of the year. Mayuree didn’t say anything all the way because she was irritated, not only Rikkard woke her up early, he didn’t even answer her when for 5th time she asked where exactly they were going.....so, she gave up and stop talking.
When they stopped, her jaw dropped!
Tulip fields.....acres and acres of it, as far as her eyes could reach, it has to be at least 200-300 acres of brightly bloomed tulips in different colours. While Tulips are most famous, there is nothing quite as wonderful as entire field of bright cheery Daffodil.......colour of egg-yolk-yellow flowers with oversize trumpets
Rikkard's chef as instructed gave them a light breakfast in a basket, which they ate and left their car in the parking......She always knew about these tulip fields, there is another one even bigger than this one in Holland, Michigan but she had never been to either of these places before. She was so busy admiring the view infront of her that she didn’t see when Rikkard acquired a map of some sort of and Bicycles.....
'ready wife ?' He asked clasping his helmet.
"what!___you _yeah sure" She didn’t know what to say, but her mouth quirked up!
They paddled through field after field, the covered view point provided a spectacular view of the valley, even the trail was quite easy and flat, they reached to the point where Skagit river meets the Salish sea.....and at last they stopped at local garden cafe for a hearty lunch!
And for rest of days the couple explored almost everything that the Valley had to offer......they visited nursery which was an ultimate stop for every garden lover where they found an amazing selection of plants, a garden themed gift shop, vintage glassed green house and the largest selection of potted garden roses. They stayed there for few hours because Rikkard did quite large shopping there.....at last he had to call for some servants to come here and carry everything. After the servants left, the couple went out for a drive on a 24-mile curvy route that hugs the Chuckanut mountains that overlooks Samish Bay and offers gorgeous views of the San Juan Islands and Chuckanut Bay.
Its's been only 5 days and as much as Rikkard wanted to extend his blissful holiday, he couldn't!
He got a call from Jared, work was suffering and Jared was tired rescheduling every meeting and appointments as clients has been asking for him and they're getting impatient.
They returned after a week.....they made love everyday for the rest of their holidays, even when they were in jet at 30000 ft and then in limousine which was already waiting for them at the tarmac with her straddling him in the back seat while chauffer was driving them home......thank the lord there was partition!
By the time they reached home she was all worn out......he carried her inside in bridal style while she was comfortably sleeping in his arm and started barking orders as soon as they're inside to housekeeper and maids
'Mrs.Jhonson transfer all Mrs.King's belonging to master bedroom, from now on she will sleep in my room and prepare a warm bath for her as soon as she wakes up, make sure she eat something.....
'God knows she needs to eat' he grumbled
housekeeper and maids were looking at them and stealing glances at each other and shared a secret smile as they saw the couple entering master bedroom.... until housekeeper cleared her throat
"back to work..all of you"
----------------------
3 months passed since Skagit Valley,.....
Mayuree couldn't be more happier than now!....everything was just how she wanted and her husband was insatiable to put it mildly! Not that she minds, there was no limitation for s*x,
not for them!
one time maids walked in while they were having s*x on kitchen counter,... they ran away with mortified expression when Rikkard growled
"get the f**k out" while still thrusting inside her.
to say she was embarrassed would be an understatement of the century and he behaved like nothing happened!
anytime and everytime, she'd give in to his sweet nothings, his seduction....to him
she loved him, there was no denying in that!
one Sunday,......
she was walking around the estate when watchman gave her a big manilla envelope saying someone dropped it for her in the letterbox.
she opened it and saw some photographs inside with notes too!
"A little gift for you дорогой! Hope you likes it"
blood drained from her face when she saw the written word, only one man used to call her that, and she forgot to breath when she saw those pictures! There were pictures, several of them, of her car, her very first car that she bought with her months worth salary!
smashed windscreen, both side of the car severely dented, tires were slashed, windows were shattered,....
completely destroyed!
this time he wants to destroy me completely, he'd leave no stone unturned...she thought tearing up
Rikkard was smoking standing infront of window, he rushed out of the house as he saw her looking at something in shocked expression from there
'hon! are you ok! What happened ?'
"I...i need to go, i need to go now" Her voice came out in whisper,...she ran towards the main gate.
'wait, where! what are those photos, Mayur, talk to to me, what are those ?' Rikkard ran after her
"My car,..someone did this to my car. I've to go" She whispered looking lost, when he saw those picture, his expression was no less than shock...
''Ok, ok calm down! we'll go there, I'll take you wherever you wants to go''
she gave him the direction of where she kept her car.....watchman was severely injured, there as someone hit him behind his head....
shutter locks were destroyed and her car! No, not car! she was seeing of whatever remains of it
what more surprising was that, no one knew where she keeps her car except her and Zahin
then how ?
someone was keeping eye on her !?
on them!
All of them!
and she witnessed in the past what that someone was capable of,....
Car was just a demo!
Rikkard's eyes widened in shocked as he witness the scene infront of him. He frowned thinking about, first there was attempt of kidnapping months ago and now this!!
her cry, her devastated expression! his jaw clenched in anger,....
someone hurt his wife,...
who dared!
she walked away from the scene and pull out her phone call Zahin to tell him..... That!
Harold Lothbrok indeed found them!
