CHAPTER 13: BOAT RIDE

His lips lingered on her ear, teasing her. She quivers at the touch of his cold lips. She grasped his neck with her arms pulling him closer to her. Their bodies become hot, with the burning desire quenched a few minutes ago when they both reached their climax. And now, they are about to begin another explosion.

Marco led her to the bathroom, keeping their pace slow, afraid that their entangled lips would part if they moved in a hurry. He placed her feet on top of his and headed to the bathroom. He let go of her lips when they entered the bathroom so he could turn on the shower.

Athena was gasping for air when he finally released her mouth. She saw him testing the water, and when he got the right temperature, he shifted his gaze towards her. She flushed at the way he stared at her. she bowed her head, and from the edge of her eye, she saw him walking to her side.

Marco lifts her head up and intensely kisses her lips. He led her to the shower while he kissed her from her lips to her neck. Marco sucked her beautiful neck leaving his mark on her. She groaned as he was marking her. The water fell on their heads, making their vision blurry, but their minds were clear about what was happening.

Athena stood still while Marco kneaded one of her breasts, and his other hand roamed on her back. They explored each other like an explorer searching for treasure.

They tried to unleash the fire burning in their bodies moderately. But they underestimate themselves because the more they hold on to it, the more their bodies burn with desire. Marco bends her over and thrusts her hard. She gasped as he entered her. He began moving inside her leisurely until they both raced to reach their climax.

Athena reaches for his soap and gently rubs the soap on his body. After Marco released all his seeds inside of her, He turned her around and massaged her lower back. Her hands lingered on his chest, and when she got a glimpse of his nipples, she couldn't take her eyes off of them.

"Ahem," Marco had been observing her, and he smirked when he saw how she looked at his nipples intently.

Athena blushed and did not dare to look at him. She handed him the soap and turned around to take care of herself.

He chuckled and continued taking a shower. After getting dressed, they went to the hotel's restaurant to have breakfast. It has a buffet-style, and they have a variety of food on the long table with waiters and waitresses on the other side to help you with the serving.

She chose to have french toast, sausage and cheese casserole, and a couple of bacon. Marcus got the same, but he decided to get waffles instead of french toast.

When they were seated, a waiter came over and asked what they would like to drink. She ordered a cup of coffee, and Marco did the same. While they were eating, she felt like someone was watching her. Athena discreetly looked around and was surprised to see CamZ flirting with an older man while stealing glances at her. When their eyes met, she squinted at her and made a gesture that they were the only ones who knew what it meant.

She gently nodded and continued to eat her breakfast. She excuses herself to go to the bathroom, and CamZ follows her.

CamZ locked the door and ensured that only the two were inside the bathroom before she looked at Athena while leaning on the wall.

With a teasing tone, she asked, "Hey, who's that handsome guy?"

Athena tensed up and couldn't decide if she should tell her. "He's my benefactor," she replied guiltily. 'No, she can't reveal her relationship with him yet.' she thought.

"You seemed to be in love with that guy," she said, confirming her guess.

"Uhmm..." she was uneasy about admitting it, but she really couldn't deny it.

"You don't have to answer that," CamZ understands her hesitation to open up. She's been like that ever since, and it's not new to her.

"Thank you," Athena is thankful for having a friend like her who understands her.

"No worries, dear," she said, patting her shoulder. "By the way, when did you arrive?" Athena asked in a confused tone. In their plan, CamZ is supposed to arrive tonight.

"Well, Benjamin Baltazar's target partner changed his itinerary, so here I am," she replied and faced the mirror to check her make-up.

"Is it the old man you were flirting with?" Athena asked. "Precisely!" CamZ responded with a wink.

"Be careful," Athena is concerned with her friend's safety. Although she knows that she is good at flirting, she is worried that the man will take advantage of her.

"Don't worry about me. Just be my eye later on when the party starts." She said while smiling at her. She loves it every time Athena shows her concern.

"Okay," thinking about the party, Marco would undoubtedly attend the party. She needs to make an excuse to stay in the room and keep an eye on CamZ on the monitor.

"I'll go ahead, see you later!" CamZ waved at her and unlocked the door. She took a deep breath and left the bathroom a minute later.

Someone had already cleaned their table, and Marco was quietly waiting for her return.

"Ready?" Marco asked before she was even able to take a seat. "Uh-huh," she quickly replies, trying to hide her embarrassment.

They left the restaurant and walked to the port. Athena gazed at him in confusion.

He noticed the look on her face, so he explained, "We're going to have a boat ride for sightseeing."

"You can appreciate the beauty in front of you when you're closer to them," he explained his intention of bringing her on a boat ride. She nodded, "Okay, I sure will."

Marco helped her climb up on the boat and followed her. They sit right next to each other, facing the front of the ship. She reached for the water while the boat was moving. Looking at the clear water in front of her, she likes to go deeper.

The boat stops about a mile away from the port. 'Marco was right,' she thought. The view is fantastic when you see them closer. The small island looks like a sleeping turtle.

"We call it Turtle Island because it shapes like a turtle," he explained. He saw her tracing the island in the air. "It's pretty," she said in a low voice.

The head of Turtle Island is composed of rocks formed in a circle. The lower part of the body is a massive rock, while the top part has different kinds of trees, grasses, and flowers in different colors.

She opened her purse and got the mini-camera. Athena balances herself to take a picture as she stands in the middle of the boat. She secretly took a picture of Marco. In some photos, Marco was facing his back to her. Her favorite picture of him is when he suddenly turned around, and in her shock, she accidentally pressed the shutter. She thought it would come out ugly and blurry, but she was surprised to see that she had the best picture when she checked it after. 'My husband is so handsome,' she said to herself with a noticeable smile on her face.

She sat down and looked at the bluish water. It is clear and seems shallow, but she knows it is more profound than she thought. The underwater rocks are in different shapes. Some are flat, and others are standing underneath like a majestic tower.

Marco felt fulfilled when he saw that she was enjoying the view. He was right that she would love the scenery here.
