ISLA'S POV
I had found it easy to settle into this grand room. Obviously, Robert made an extra effort to make sure that I was comfortable in it Or wait, did this room belong to someone else? Maybe the woman in his life? She would be damned sorry because I would be turning this place into my little nest. I looked around thinking of what I might need in place.
The room was filled with feminine touches, patterned lace curtains, a crystal vase filled with fresh flowers, a collection of scented candles was placed on a table at the corner of the room, it had a grand walk in closet. I thought of Robert's room and what it would look like. I was really curious. I might just as well innocently ask him to let me take a look at his room, it sure wouldn't be too much to ask for, would it?
I opened my box and began filling the room with my belongings. I wasn't even half way through when I heard a gentle knock on the door. I got up and opened it, coming face to face with his piercing blue eyes. He was now in a white cotton sweatshirt and grey cargo pants. His muscles were visible under the shirt.
"Hi," I smiled heartily. Trying hard not to mentally undress him with my hungry eyes.
"Hi," He replied with an equally enthusiastic smile. "How do you like it?" His deep baritone voice sent sweet cold chills all over my body that I immediately felt my nipples stiffen hard. Thank goodness for the padded bra I had on.
"It's perfect! It seemed it had been made for me from the start. Guess nature knew I'd move in someday."
His expression was somewhat difficult to read.
"What would you like for dinner?" He asked, folding his hand across his broad chest. The way he moved with ease made him all the more sexy. Right now, he looked like a model that could appear on the front cover of the vogue summer fashion magazine.
'What would I like for dinner other than you!..you Robert Hardy' I screamed loudly in my head so that no one else heard it but me.
"Pasta," I shrugged. "Been craving it all week" I lied unnecessarily.
"So why didn't you get it?" He asked, his tone carrying a hint of amusement.
"Ummm… let's say I lose interest in going out whenever my best friend is not around." I shrugged.
"You two aren't some sort of conjoined twins?," He gave me a taunting look that got me rolling my eyes,which made him laugh.
"I'll prepare dinner. We'd have pasta."
"Omg! You cook?" I blurted out in shock.
"Yes I do, Isla…I'll text you when I'm done"
And then he walked the stairs down.
My lips were still slightly parted in shock. It would actually be such a pleasant sight to watch him cook. I smiled at the thought of it.
I guess there would be more to find out about Robert Hardy. I stepped back into the room to finish arranging my stuff. After I was done, I took off my clothes and stepped into the shower. As the warm water cascaded over my skin washing away the stress of the day, I closed my eyes, my thoughts drifting to Robert. The way he looked at me, with that knowing smile and those piercing blue eyes, sent shivers down my spine. I couldn't help but blush, a smile playing on my lips. The way he spoke, those soft sensual lips, I bit the bottom of my lip as I imagined him taking my nipples in and sucking on them. My pussy felt hot at the thought of it. I felt my wetness with my index finger. I needed this man so badly and it was driving me nuts.
After taking my bath, I thought of what to wear. I needed Robert to look at me with desire clearly visible in his eyes. I slipped on a silk satin mid length dress, It was a soft shade of blush pink. It effortlessly showed my curves, emphasizing my figure. I paired it with a delicate silver earring. I let my hair loose, allowing it to cascade down my back in soft waves. A light application of makeup, a touch of mascara and a swipe of lip gloss, completed the look. I looked at myself in the mirror, my nipples were clearly visible, I wasn't going to be needing too much of my bra. I didn't even like them anyway.
Just then my phone beeped, I hurried to the bed and picked it up
DINNER IS READY, COME DOWNSTAIRS
I hurried back to the mirror to take one final look at myself. I wasn't doing too much right? Well, whatever.
As I got to the dinning, I met Robert already seated. His expression was often difficult to read but not now. His sensuous lips parted slightly in surprise, his piercing blue eyes locked with mine, and for a second, everything else in the world faded away. It was just me and him.
"You look breathtaking" His voice was deep and smooth. He looked me up and down, his gaze lingering on my thighs. There was something unfamiliar in his eyes, something I had never seen before. Admiration? Desire? I couldn't tell, but I felt it. That same connection, the pull I always felt whenever I was around him.
The spell his eyes had on me broke and I recollected myself and joined him on the dining table.
"Hmmm, smells really good" I cooed.
His smile was alluring. His eyes still lingered on me. I suddenly wished I was a witch so I could read his mind this moment. We began to eat, the meal was so delicious. I wondered if he took private cooking lessons.
"You like it?" He asked with a playful smile crawling up those lips. Gosh! Why was I thinking too much of them?
"Love it! You sure are something. Who would have thought about it?"
"And you sure are something too" He smirked.
I almost choked on the food I had in my mouth and he swiftly passed me a bottle of water which I poured into a cup and drained in two wide gulps.
What did he mean by that?
