As Natalie lay on the sofa, she stared at the ceiling. She realized that so many things had been happening lately. She had done a
good job during the fashion week, so she deserved to relax for once.
Aside from that, ever since she and Sebastian got together, she seemed to be getting luckier than before. Natalie had left the Quinn family, and she was able to stand out during the fashion week. She looked at Sebastian and asked, “I have no idea where to go. Do you know where we can go?”
Sebastian picked up the neatly folded clothes, stood up, and headed back to his room, saying, “Yup! I’ll make the arrangements.” Fearing that he would waste too much money, Natalie sprang to her feet and said, “Don’t spend too much money!”
Adhering to Natalie’s request of not spending too much money, Sebastian took her to his private island near Seacisco. This island hadn’t been developed yet.
At a glance, it was just an island with a dense jungle, and the only source of light at night was the lighthouse. Sebastian got off the yacht, grabbed Natalie’s waist, and lifted her up.
The waves dashed against the rocks and hit the reef. The cloudless sky seemed to have lined up with the coast.
“There aren’t any tickets or goods to spend money on here. So, what do you think? Is it economical enough?”
‘It’s good that it doesn’t cost a lot. We need to save as much money as we can in case of any emergencies. Anyway, How did you find this place? The scenery is so beautiful and the air is fresh. It’s nothing like the city.”
Natalie took a deep breath and the cool air soothed her nerves. She continued to inhale and exhale to relax more. After doing that and stretching herself, she soon felt comfortable. Her day-to-day life was a little tough. She usually faced the computer and saw many tall buildings and people every day. Now that she was away from the hustle and bustle of the city, she was at ease.
“A friend recommended it to me. I’m glad you like it.”
Sebastian carried the big bags and walked ashor quite heavy, but he preferred to carry them himself. He didn’t want to burden his wife at all. Natalie just followed him closely, carrying her small handbag. She had thought she was alone with Sebastian on this island.
But when she looked back, she saw four men coming down from the yacht.
They were carrying tents, tables, chairs, cauldrons, and a couple of other camping equipment. The men went under a shade of coconut trees and began to set up the tent. It was as big as a yurt, almost the size of a house.
“What are they doing?”
Natalie has never seen a tent this big before. From the sizes and appearance of the other equipment, she could tell that they were high-end. She had her eyes fixed on the men in confusion.
“They are helping us set up the tent and everything we will need.”
Sebastian put the foldable outdoor chair on the ground. Patting off the dust, he said to her, “Come and sit here. The arrangement will take them some time.”
“How much does all that cost?”
Natalie covered her mouth in awe of everything she was seeing. It was as if she was seeing those things for the first time. Three of the men were setting up the tent, while one of them was arranging the barbecue grill.
“How come they are doing all these? Well, I don’t think they are doing these for free. Delivering such high-end camping equipment and setting everything up must cost a lot. How was Sebastian able to afford their service? Did his friend who recommended this place send them here?”
Noticing that Natalie was lost in thought, Sebastian pulled her to sit on the chair and explained, “Those pieces of equipment are all rental. They don’t cost much at all.”
Shortly after, the four men were done setting up the equipment. They bowed to Sebastian and Natalie and left as quickly as they came. As Natalie took a sip from the orange juice Sebastian had given her, she murmured to herself, “Those men were so diligent.
Their customer service is just excellent. That’s good to know.”
The couple went to the arranged area and camped there.
“What would you like for lunch?”
After checking the time on his wristwatch, Sebastian walked to the grill to start the fire. The dried leaves and branches on the ground made rustling and snapping sounds as Sebastian walked on them. He rolled up the sleeves of his shirt. His slender fingers and strong arms had green veins slightly protruding out of them.
Natalie’s mouth flew open when she saw his muscular figure. It was until Sebastian turned to look at her that she regained her senses.
She shook her head and blinked severally as her face flushed.
As if nothing had happened, she walked up to him and finally replied, “Since there’s a grill here, how about we have a barbecue?”
The faint fragrance of Natalie’s body wafted into Sebastian’s nostrils as soon as she walked to his side. He couldn’t help but wonder what perfume she wore today. Her scent was doing something to him.
To control himself, he pinched his palm hard and slightly bit the walls of his mouth. The piercing pain kept him from getting turned on. However, his temporary wall of defense came crashing down when Natalie touched his hand.
“Let me help you…” Natalie said as she tried to take over the grill from him. But her words were cut short because Sebastian suddenly grabbed her chin with his big hand.
“Damn it!” he cursed, gritting his teeth.
After staring at her lips for a split second, he lowered his head and bit her lower lip gently. He suddenly held her around the waist and pulled her closer with his other hand. Natalie’s body was trembling and her heart was beating fast at this time.
Before she could process what was happening, Sebastian kissed her slowly and deeply. She found herself responding hungrily to him.
The kiss was so passionate that they didn’t know how long it lasted. By the time they released each other’s lips, they were both panting heavily and their lips were slightly swollen.
Sebastian hugged her and stroked her hair lovingly. Camping was a first-time experience for both Sebastian and Natalie. Although they were so excited to cook in the open air, it took them the whole afternoon to make a half-cooked barbecue and vegetables.
They were happy with the result, nonetheless. When dusk came, the island became even more breathtaking. The orange setting sun hung above the sea horizon. It made the water glisten brilliantly.
A fishing ship was in a distance. At this moment, it seemed like time slowed down. Sitting in a chair, Natalie looked in a distance and enjoyed the beautiful scenery. She propped her chin on her hand and mumbled casually, “The sight is so beautiful. I wish I could make a painting of it. I haven’t painted in a long time. It’s a pity that I didn’t bring any painting tools along. I guess I can only feed my eyes then.”
Sebastian didn’t say anything in response to her at first. He just stared at her quietly as she basked in the sun. The reflection of the sunlight on her beautiful face delighted him.
Affection flitted in his eyes. His heart suddenly began to thump against his chest and he could hear it clearly. “Ahem! You don’t have to just feed your eyes. I’ll see what I can do about the painting tools,” he finally said.
Natalie quickly turned to look at Sebastian as soon as she heard those words. With her eyes widened in surprise and disbelief, she asked, “Did you bring painting tools along?”
Undiluted affection glistened in Sebastian’s eyes as his lips curled up in a smile. He stood up and leaned close to her. As he stared at her affectionately, the golden sun rays danced on their faces.
Instinctively, he stroked her hair and replied, “I’ll try find you some. Just wait for me here.”
Sebastian straightened up and began to walk towards the forest. When he was sure that he was out of Natalie’s sight, he took out his phone and called Sean. His face was cold and his tone was authoritative at this time.
