Chapter 139 - A delicious surprise

"What are we doing here?" Lily asked, who was suddenly forced into Alexandre's car and abducted to a secret location twenty minutes ago. With wide eyes she stared out of the window at an alley full of old timber-framed houses. It was already pitch black outside, only the street lamps were illuminating the alley. Nobody was on the way. In some houses the lights were burning, but others were completely dark. The owners were probably already asleep. Lily wondered how late it was already. Alexandre's sports car was parked on the side of the street.

"A surprise." Alexandre chuckled, admiring the puzzled expression of his wife. "My sister invited us to try something unusual with her and Phillipe. I have no idea what Louise has in store for us."

"So we're getting involved in something really crazy that your sister was plotting?" Slowly it dawned on her what was going on here. She was just surprised Alexandre agreed to it. He wasn't exactly a spontaneous type. He always planned everything in advance and hated unpleasant surprises.

But his amused expression spoke a different language, which also infected Lily with excitement. She grinned with her flashing blue eyes and a slight redness on her cheeks when she turned her head towards him.

Alexandra leaned forward, his lips brushing her ear. "Let's just have fun tonight with my crazy sister." His pale eyes looked at her curiously. He didn't know what he was getting himself into, but as long as Lily was at his side it wouldn't be so bad. He could secretly kidnap her, disappear with her into a corner, far away from any attention, and taste the pleasure he had been longing for all day long. He stared at her lips. Alexandra knew exactly how it felt when he explored her lips with his. Soft and tender, he wanted to nibble them, to taste them. Kissing her hard and passionate.

Suddenly, there's a knock on the window. He winced, stared out into the darkness and saw his sister's grinning face. Moaning he tried to find the button with his finger to lower the window. " If you speak of the devil." He greeted his younger sister Louise smugly.

"I love you too, Brother!"

"What are we doing here! It doesn't look like there's going to be a party soon."

"Who mentioned a party. Tsk... You can thank me later, dear brother. This is where men can learn a new kind of seduction method." Louise wiggled her eyebrows and threw a beaming smile at Lily before she circled the rear of the car and ripped open the passenger door. Cold winter air streamed into the car.

Alexandre's thoughts still hovered over the words of his sister. She did not really make sense to him. A new kind of seduction? What crazy idea had his sister come up with again?!

Lily unbuckled her seatbelt and pushed off the seat to get out. It was freezing cold outside, the frosty December wind whipped against her face, she shivered, pulling the fleece coat tighter around her.

Cheerfully her sister-in-law pulled her into a warm embrace. "Let's go inside, it's cold."

"Where is Phillipe?" Asked Alexandre while locking the car.

"Coming in a minute. He is looking for a parking space. The way you parked, you'll get another ticket. Can't you see the sign. No Parking!" With outstretched fingers Loulou pointed to a sign at the entrance of the alley. Shivering, she rubbed her cheek against Lily's before leading her sister-in-law to a timber-framed house. Next to the entrance was a small shop window decorated with sweet treats. Lily saw éclairs, Pains au chocolat, macarons, madeleins and many more sweet sins.

She pressed herself against Loulou. " Might we enjoy this lovely treats?" She asked sheepishly, yet her voice sounded hoarser. Greedily her eyes stuck to the shop window of the pastry shop. Her mouth was already watering. She could already tell that she was in love with Loulou's delicious surprise.

"Better!" Loulou giggled conspiratorially in her ear. "Better, darling!"

A moment later, Philippe also joined the small group and together they entered the house, where they were welcomed by an elderly bald gentleman in a white pâtisserie coat and a white apron around his hips.
