Chapter 8.1

Joanna's POV

When we reached his cabin I was shocked.

"Baby, you call this place small. It's huge!"

I was shocked as I took in my surroundings, we were surrounded by trees and I could clearly hear the birds chirping away happily.

"Welcome to Water-crest."

"Its beautiful sweetheart."

"Come, let me show you guys around," he said taking my hand in his as he held a sleeping Ethan in his other.

After they had settled down, Joanna went into the kitchen and found it already stocked to the brim. Deciding on what to prepare, she chose spaghetti and meatballs, she got down to work. As she was rolling up the meat balls Michael came behind her planting a soft kiss on her shoulder as she smiled up to him.

"Hhmm my favourite. Let me help you with that querido."

Washing his hands he dried them and dusted some flower onto them as he put his hands on top of hers following her movement as she rolled up the ground beef.

"That's not being really helpful Mikey," she said with a laugh as he nuzzled her neck.

"If you help me finish this up faster, I will give you a present," she said giving him a seductive smile.

"You know I love your presence baby," he said with a devilish smile. "Let me make the sauce whilst you finish up here," he said giving her a kiss on her temple.

They worked in sync as they prepared their dinner.

Once done she hopped onto the counter and watched him as he finished stirring the stew. Once done he walked up to her with a smile plastered on his face.

"I am done madam and now for my present."

"Well, you did keep your end of the bargain and we do have a little before dinner," she said wrapping her arms around his neck pulling him down. Trailing a kiss from his jawline to the corner of his mouth.

He opened his eyes to see her biting her lower lip smiling at him. Leaning down he captured her lips as they shared a slow, lingering kiss. Biting her lower lip she gasped and he took the opportunity to plunge his tongue into her mouth as their tongues began a dance so old time stood still, leaving them both breathless as they pulled apart. Covering her round bottom in his hands he picked her up and walked to the lounge loving the close contact as he sat down with her in his lap.

"I'm glad you knocked me down with your car querida, or else I wouldn't have you right here with me. You are so..."

"Baby. Just shut up," she stated as she leaned towards him and kissed him.

He refused her entrance as their lips locked, as she took control of their kiss. Biting down on his lip he growled making her smile as he finally opened up to her.

"Hmmm very very feisty, I like," he murmured as he looked into her eyes making her blush.

"Mama!" Ethan walked into the room rubbing the sleep out of his eyes.

Quickly putting some distance between herself and Michael she got up on her feet.

"I'm hungry," he simply stated.

"Hey sweety, alright come along, guess what we are having today? Your favourite."

They had their dinner discussing what they could spend their time doing there which mostly consisted of resting.

"Baby, you have some sauce here," he told her indicating the place on his mouth.

She took a napkin to wipe her mouth, but missed the spot.

Ethan laughed telling her she still had sauce on her.

"Come here," Michael said.

As she leaned in closer he did the same meeting her halfway. With his thumb he wiped the sauce off her face.

"Yummy," he said licking his finger as he gave her a sexy grin.

After dinner they left Ethan in the living room watching his cartoons as they cleared the rest of the dishes. As soon as they were done putting the dishes in the dishwasher he pulled her towards him and claimed her lips in a slow mind blowing kiss.
