After a really long nap and a short one after, Noah and Jess finally left Jess's bedroom, refreshed and energized, well, not Jess. She was tired and spent she would rather curl in bed, and relish on the amazing 'nap' Noah gave her. 

But as much as they want to stay in bed all day, they have Lucille waiting for them. Although she's well-taken care in the care of Soraya and Aadir, this weekend trip wasn't just for her and Noah. 

Jess took a warm shower to ease the sore muscles and special spot that was given thorough attention and put on a breezy summer dress. It has a high neckline to cover Noah's not so gentle kisses that trail along the length of her neck to her collarbone to her breast. They were like a reflector that shined brightly to show which part of her body was Noah's favorite spot. 

When she got out of her room, Noah was wearing board shorts, a white shirt, and loafers. His hair was finger-combed giving it a messy sexy look that Jess loves. 

He had a smug expression on his face when he saw the dress she was wearing. When his arms circled around her waist, she elbowed him which he replied with a dry chuckle and a kiss on her temple. 

"Your dress looks pretty. Makes me want to find out what's under it." His voice was ringing with silent laughter but his eyes were dead serious that Jess could not help but roll her eyes. He's an insatiable beast. 

Noah kept on annoying her as they walked to the swimming pool where Lucille, Soraya, and Aadir were, and when they arrived at the pool her eyebrows were knitted tightly. 

"Little Miss Jessie, why do you look angry? Did daddy not take a nap?" 

Noah roared in laughter and Jess in annoyance, turned around and kicked his shin. "Are you sure your daughter doesn't know what she was talking about?" 

He shook his head and draped his arm over her shoulder, "your guilty conscience is showing. What's wrong with a nap?" He whispered the word 'nap', deliberately brushing his lips on her ear. 

Flinching as he covered her ear with his lips, she felt as if she were being electrocuted.

"Your daughter is watching...stop it!" 

"Stop what?" He grinned, clearly annoying her. 

She heaved a deep sigh and didn't react anymore. She thought he would stop annoying her if she stopped giving him a reaction but she was wrong. 

They kept on bantering as they sat down on the pool sunbed whilst Lucille and Soraya were swimming. 

"Daddy!! Little Miss Jessie! Please, join us!" 

"Go, join your daughter," she told Noah as she waved at Lucille who was yelling from the middle of the pool. 

However, Noah didn't budge from laying down on the sunbed. 

She got up from the sunbed and Noah grabbed her arm, "Where are you going?" 

"You don't want to join your daughter." 

"Baby, Lucille can have fun without us. She'll get tired soon. No need to swim." His gaze traveled up and down her body. "They will see your boo-boo," he grinned at her. 

Jess slapped his hand, holding her arm. "Whose fault do you think it was?" 

"Mine." He gave her a wide smile. His eyes twinkling like a young boy who knew his misdeed but clearly having fun and nothing caring about her feigned anger. 

"Come on, baby. Don't be too grumpy. When you purse your lips like that, it makes me want to kiss you senseless." His irises turned darker with desires and Jess abruptly scooted to the far end of the sunbed as if she was scared that Noah would suddenly attack her. 

"Don't you dare," she threatened in a weak voice. 

"You mean, not in front of Lucille, right?" 

She rolled her eyes and turned her attention to Lucille who was showing off her butterfly stroke to Aadir. 

"Baby…" Noah crooned. 

"Yes!" she blurted out. 

"Fuck!" He groaned, dropping his back to the sunbed and draping his arm over his eyes. "I want to drag you back inside." 

She leaned back properly to the sunbed again now that Noah was on his back and not going to kiss her senseless—of the moment. She won't tell him that the image of him dragging her back to bed was something that would live rent-free in her head. Something that they could try later on. 

"Or drag you back to the states with us," he added after being quiet for a few minutes. 

"You mean, in your plane?" 

"Hmm," he mumbled. He won't remove his arm covering his eyes. He worries that if he does, he will really end up, dragging her back to their hotel room. 

"What do I need to join you?" 

He dropped his arm and turned to his side to face Jess. "Your passport," he seriously answered. 

"Remind me to give you my passport once we are back in the room," she replied with a serious face. 

Noah stared at her for a few minutes before dropping himself back to the sunbed. "You're such a tease, Miss Zimmerman. You're being cruel with my heart." 

She laughed when she saw Noah's face turn sour. "Why? I told you I'm joining you back." 

"Be careful with your jokes or you might end up regretting it." 

"And, what if I'm not kidding?" she giggled. She's having fun imagining Noah's expression once he found out how serious she was about joining them. 

"Stop it, Jess. Don't play with my heart." 

She scoffed. "You're such a drama king." 

Noah didn't react anymore and she could not help but giggle. She would really have a good time, teasing him over the weekend about it. She shifted her butt carefully on the sunbed as she could still feel Noah's length inside her. 

She flushed and a tingle of sensation shot up inside her core. And, she might get a little wet down there. She smiled and closed her eyes.. 'Life is good.'
