32. The Lakeside Cabin.

"Oh my God, he'll soon be here," I said excitedly, after our first date, things moved super-fast between me and Jean.
He was so romantic and he made me smile every time, we hadn't really talked about our feelings but I wasn't in a rush for that yet, I liked him and I was content that he liked me too.
"Can you calm down please, femme?" Sophie rolled her eyes and kept adjusting the straps of my dress.
"I thought it was a casual date?" Michele asked, frowning at my dress.
When Jean texted me to say he wanted to spend the whole day together, I called them to help me because I was freaking out, all this with Jean was pretty new to me and I didn't want to get it wrong.
"It is, that's why I dressed her in a sexy-cute sundress and not a sexy-sexy clubbing dress." She answered.
"I'm not going to wear heels, am I?" I asked her, looking at my outfit.
My hair was packed up in a high bun because Michele didn't want my hair getting messed up because of the wind outside, I was dressed in a cute flowery sundress, the dress had small arms and it was tight around my chest till my waist then it flowed and stopped mid-thigh, the dress was backless with straps forming multiple Xs on my back.
"No, you are going to wear this." Sophie smiled, bringing out a thigh boot from her collection.
I was just happy that it didn't have heels.
"Take a hat," Michele suggested when we heard knocking on the door.
"Take a c*ndom," Sophie said and the both of them high-fived each other.
I rolled my eyes at their childish behavior and adjusted my dress one more time before heading to the door.
Just before I opened the door, I turned back to Sophie and glared at her.
"No funny texts, Soph, I mean it."
I opened the door and just like always, the man standing outside my door took my breath away.
"Hi." I smiled at him.
He was dressed in a gray sweater and dark blue pants, his green eyes looked piercing and I bit my lips unconsciously when he stared deeply at me.
"You look amazing." He pecked me on my cheeks then he grazed my ear with his lips lightly. "I want to kiss you so bad."
I blushed furiously as I moved out of the way for him to come inside, he chuckled as he walked in and said hello to Michele and Sophie.
Michele readily liked him and had no problems with him but Sophie was very skeptical of him, she still liked him, but she couldn't go without glaring at him or threatening him whenever he wanted to take me out.
"You better take care of her or it's over for you Jean," Sophie said.
"Okay, Sophie, I'll treat her like the princess she is." He smiled and took my hand in his.
"Wait," Sophie called out, stopping us in our tracks. "All I ever hear is Jean, even french people have surnames."
"What are you driving at here, Sophie." I frowned at her.
"No, wait, I'm on to something, just how much do you know about this guy."
"His name is Jean, Jean .L. D’aureville," I told her shaking my head. "Don't mind her Jean, let's just go," I said and pulled him out of there.
"Your friend is funny." He laughed as we walked to his car. "But I love the fact that she cares for you and is looking out for you." He told me, opening the car door for me.
"Yeah, that's Sophie, she really cares, thanks," I said and was about to enter the car before he pulled me into his arms.
"I think you're forgetting something." He said and I blushed deeply.
Raising on my tiptoes, I reached up and planted a light peck on his lips.
"That was nice Claire, but I meant something like this." He said and smashed his lips on mine, kissing me deeply.

When I got up this morning, I thought only of Claire, I didn't even seem fazed by the King's rantings at breakfast.
It was a Saturday and I knew that she would be at home from work so I texted her that I was coming to pick her up so we could spend the day together.
I was elated when she replied with a simple 'can't wait.'
I planned to take her to my grandfather's cabin by the lake where we could have a picnic if the weather allowed us to.
The Cabin was always empty because nobody ever went there, my grandfather was an avid fan of fishing and since he was a King and he couldn't exactly fish publicly, he built the cabin beside the lake and he would visit it anytime he wanted to fish.
I remembered going with him on one of his fishing expeditions when I was very little but I hadn't gone back there since the old man died.
I did not know which condition I would meet the cabin so I sent a cleaning team and some help there beforehand to clean up the place and set up a nice picnic for us.
Claire was very beautiful, I was even more sure of that when she opened the door, she absolutely took my breath away in that cute dress and thigh-high boots she wore, she had her hair in a bun which I was not a fan of but I knew that I could get her to release the wild tresses later.
She had great friends and I was glad that they genuinely cared about her, if there was one thing I knew, it was that genuine people were hard to find these days.
I felt bad for lying to Claire when she told Sophie my wrong full name and I hoped she wouldn't look up the name because she wouldn't find anything.
I didn't totally lie, the L in the name stood for Lucas which was my real name and the surname D’aureville was my mother's maiden name and it was very special to me.
So I guess somehow I was also giving her a part of me.
I noticed that Claire was quite shy, she looked like a very confident person but there were times when she was unbelievably shy and she blushed so easily I couldn't stop teasing her just to see her blush.
After the hot kiss, I gave her, I got into the car and started driving.

"Where are we going?" She asked me for the millionth time.
"It's a surprise, Elskede, you're too impatient." I smiled at her.
(Elskede means Beloved)
"Okay." She smiled and rested her hand lightly on mine.
Her action drew my eyes to our joined hands and I couldn't help but sneak a glance at her exposed thighs, her dress had ridden up slightly and her creamy thighs were exposed to my view.
I wanted so badly to bury my head between those thighs and taste her sweetness but I knew that she wasn't ready for that yet and I didn't want to rush her.
Swallowing my lust, I concentrated on driving us to the lakeside Cabin.
"We are here," I announced probably when we pulled up beside the cabin.
"Wow, this place is really beautiful, I never get to visit these parts of the city." She beamed happily and we got out of the car.
"I thought we could spend the day by the lake, we could have a picnic, we could—"
"Go skinny dipping in the lake." She blurted out and then covered her hand with her mouth, her face was red in embarrassment. "I didn't mean to say that out loud."
"You don't have to be embarrassed, I would love to go skinny dipping with you," I said and grabbed her by the waist.
Her excited blabber had aroused the lustful feelings I was trying to suppress and I couldn't stop myself from picturing her naked body glistening next to mine in the lake.
"Jean." She let out softly when my hands inched down from her waist to grab on her soft cheeks.
"I know, I know, I just couldn't stop myself," I told her and sealed her mouth with a kiss.
She pressed closer to me as I deepened the kiss and she trembled slightly when I sucked her bottom lip into my mouth.
She tasted so sweet and she felt so good in my arms, it was a struggle to let her go but I finally did.
"You taste so sweet, Claire," I told her entranced as I rubbed my thumb along her swollen bottom lip.
"You do too." She replied shyly and though her gaze wavered, she did not look down and I smiled at her.
"Let's go inside," I said and led her into the cabin.
"This place is so beautiful." She gushed when we got in. "Who owns this place?" She asked and I coughed awkwardly.
"Um, It belongs to my grandfather, the old man passed and left his cabin to me," I told her and she smiled.
"It's a beautiful place." She said and began to look around.
"Was your grandfather also a palace guard?" She asked pointing to a picture of my grandfather in his full regalia and his friend on the wall.
D*mn, how could I have forgotten to take away the pictures.
