The magnificent private residence provides the ultimate luxury with 2 living rooms with wood-burning fireplaces, a 10 seater dining room and 3 spacious suites with sumptuous bathrooms and magnificent views of the Noetzie Beach and Indian Ocean. There are king-size beds, walk-in wardrobes, individual climate control, flats screen TV, DVD player and Wi-Fi Internet connectivity.

Bathrooms have walk-in wardrobes, heated marble floors and towel rails, double vanities, separate WCs, free-standing baths and showers.

All suites lead out through double doors onto private terraces with comfortable seating and loungers to soak up the sun and the views.

We settled in one of the masters bedroom. The view from the window was breathtakingly beautiful. The view was from the botanical garden. There was a wide range of plants such as cacti and other succulent plants, herb gardens, plants from particular parts of the world, and so on.There was also a greenhouse with special collections such as tropical plants, alpine plants, and other exotic plants.

Amari was so eager to go for a walk in the botanical garden. One of the maids decided to take her for a walk so Flynn and I could have some 'adult' time together. The people in the castle were so nice and when we arrived they immediately took a liking in Amari. She was like the little princess and they would serve her everything she wants.

When Amari left the room with the maid whose name was Agatha, the sexual tension between Flynn and I suddenly rise. I never realized how uncomfortable it made me when I was alone in a room with him. It was like he was a flame and I was the moth that was drawn to him.

Flynn cleared his throat after a long awkward silence. "Uhm do you want to go for a walk at the beach?"

I nodded my head, I loved the beach. "Yes, sure." I grabbed my phone and slippers and headed out with Flynn following behind me. It was a five minute walk to the beach. I knew the way, because earlier the butler showed us the stone path that would lead us straight to the beach. Even though you could see the beach from the bedroom on the other side of the hallway, it was still a little bit away from the house.

"How come no one is here?" I asked as I looked around the empty beach. The place was beautiful, I wonder where all the people are. Especially since the sun is about to set now, it's a perfect time to take pictures and have a romantic walk or picnic.

"It's a private beach." Flynn told me. "No one can come here unless they are staying in the castle or have permission from the owner."

"Oh." I said. That explains why we were the only ones here. The beautiful, big blue ocean's waves are crashing against the cliffs as I watch the beautiful birds joyfully fly around in circles in the air. The warm, golden sand runs between my toes with the gentle breeze.

As I walk along, I find gorgeous, shiny shells that have been washed into the shore by the rippling of the water. Flynn watched my movements with a smile.

I turned around scanning if we were still the only people around. The sun is about to set and I wanted to do my favorite thing. I quickly slip out of my clothes and from behind me I could feel Flynn's eyes burning in my back.

"What the hell are you doing?" I heard him groan from behind. I knew it took all of him to not jump on me right now. I turned around, now only in my bra and panties, and gave him a teasing smile.

"Skinny dipping." I said and with that I turned around, unhooked my bra and pull my panties down before dashing into the water.

"Are you coming? Don't stand there like a wimp." I yelled at Flynn. I saw the sour look on his face. I snickered, it feels so good to torture him. I swim further into the water and I could feel Flynn's eyes burning on my back.

"Are you on your period?" I continued taunting him from afar. Even from here I could feel how annoyed he was.

His lips formed into a scowl and he narrowed his eyes at me. "If you want another baby, just say so !" he yelled at me from the shore. I rolled my eyes and stuck my tongue out at him. "You can keep your hands to yourself, Vasilios. C'mon the water feels so good."

"Do you know how hard it is for me to stand here knowing so well that you're totally naked there? It takes all of my will power."

Poor Vasilios. But then again it feels so good to torture him.

I never thought it would be so easy for me to let Flynn into my life again. I thought that I would play hard to get, throw tantrums, ignore him, or even worse get back at him for what he did to me. Luckily, none of that happened. It all went so smooth and I'm actually glad about that. I'm happy that everything is behind us and that we can start fresh.

The only thing that we both need to work on is communication and trust. And who knows how long that will take.

"So you say that you can't resist me huh?" I laughed derisive as I sputtered in the water. I know I was playing with fire, but I just could not let it. And besides, I knew he would not come into the water. Since I came back I saw so many changes. And the first change that I saw was that he had much more respect for me.

If we were in this situation three years ago he would not even think twice to jump into the water. Now, however he's taking things slowly especially in situations like this. I really do put him on a test.

"I'm a man, Jill. I don't think any man could resist a body like yours." Flynn said as he sat down in the sand, next to my clothes and phone.

"So tell me about you being celibate. I'm...surprised." I couldn't help, but giggle at the last part. Flynn being celibate totally caught me off guard. I could not believe it that the womanizer turned into a nun.

Big change.

"I know right, but my hand does a pretty good job."

"And when are you planning to dip your dick again in some...juice?" I asked, raising my eyebrows. The sun was almost under and the waves were starting to get higher.

Flynn bursted out laughing. "Seriously?" And then he turned serious. "Until you let me back into your life, pudding."

"What if I would never come back Flynn? What if we are not going to be a thing anymore?" I wanted to hear what he has to say about that. It could happen. I'm not obligated to blew new life into our relationship that ended three years ago.

"But what If we do?" He asked, looking into my eyes. I could feel the chills all over my body and it was not because of the water. "You need to think positive. I believe in us. I know that we will be a thing again."

"You're so optimistic."

"I'm trying to fix what I broke. I want to have you in my life, pudding. I don't think I can live another year without you." His voice was soft, almost pleading.

My phone rang and Flynn looked at the Caller ID. "It's Aunty Lydia." He said and wanted to pick up the phone.

"Wait, no!" I yelled out just in time. My heart was beating so fast. "I'll pick it up. Turn around so I can change."

Aunt Lydia still didn't forgive Flynn and she would flip out if she knows I'm on vacation with him. Oh my god, thinking about her makes me so anxious. I don't like to keep secrets from her, I'm not a teenager. And even if I was a teenager I seldom kept anything from her.

Flynn turned around like the gentleman he was and I hurriedly put on my panties and bra and picked up the phone. "Hey Tia." I answered a little out of breath.

There was a long pause followed with a loud cry. My heart immediately started racing. What the hell is happening? All kinds of scenarios were playing in my head. "Tia, talk to me! What happened?!" I yelled out frantically. Flynn turned around and crouched down next to me. He took my hand in his and caress it softly."Is everything alright?" He mouthed worried.

I heard sobbing in the background and then Aunt Lydia finally spoke. "Milan is in the hospital !"

One moment we were in South- Africa enjoying the beautiful sunset and the next we were back in the private jet on our way to Barcelona. My whole body was shaking and all kinds of thoughts were crossing my mind.

Milan is in the hospital.

Aunt Lydia didn't say anything except that he was in the hospital, which made me even more concerned. Aunt Lydia could barely talk during the phone call, the only thing I heard were loud sobbing noises. What could happen to Milan? An accident? The flu?

I hated to stay so far away from him. I wished he could live with me like Amari. But I can't be so selfish and drag him from one country to another. He already had friends at school in Barcelona and I didn't want him to move to another country only for him to make new friends.

And now he's sick. I hated moments like these.

I needed more information, but I will only get that when I will arrive in Barcelona. After we boarded the private jet Flynn took Amari to the bedroom, because she was getting fuzzy. We have been traveling for so long in the plane and she's not used to that. She was enjoying the castle in South Africa and even cried when we boarded the plane again.

"Pudding, don't think about it too much. I just called the hospital, I send one of the best doctors to treat Milan." Flynn snapped me out of my thoughts as he walked out of the bedroom. He wore a navy blue shirt with black pants. I love seeing him dressed casual, it makes him so much more attractive. His muscles, sixpack, v-line. It was swoon worthy.

"Do you know what happened to him?" I asked averting my eyes from his sexy as sin body to his devilishly handsome face. But Flynn just shook his head. "No, the doctor's on his way to the hospital. He will call me in twenty minutes or so."

I sighed deeply and rested my head on my hands. The pain in my chest didn't disappear. I just wanted to know if Milan is alright. "You shouldn't have done that. The medical bill will be so high for Aunt Lydia and I."

Flynn gave me a disapproving look. He sat across me and folded his arms and stared at me. "Jill, don't worry about the medical bill. I've got it all covered. The only thing you should worry about is Milan." His voice was stern, but gentle.

"Flynn, you don't have to do everything for me. I can manage it on my own." I mumbled, tapping my fingers on the table.

"I know you can, pudding. But I care for Milan too. So don't worry." He said softly. "I haven't seen him in so long, you may not know it, but I actually missed him."

A small smile appeared on my face. I never thought that Flynn would miss Milan. I knew he cared for him like an actual father, but it just never crossed my mind that he would miss him. I thought he just liked Milan to impress me.

"Where's Amari?" I asked after a short silence.

"She's sleeping in the room. Princess is so tired."

"I bet she is. We only have been for a couple of hours on land. I'm so sorry we couldn't stay in the castle. I really loved that place. I hope you get your money back for it."

"It's nothing. " Flynn said, waving his hand in dismissal. "We can go back anytime we want, besides Milan is way important than our mini vacation."

"True."

..........

Finally we touched down in Barcelona. Amari woke up two hours ago and watched barbie on Flynn's tablet. He couldn't get any work done and Amari even accidentally send a barbie video link to one of his investors through whatsapp.

"There's a black car waiting outside to bring us to the hospital." Flynn said as we made our way to the exit of the plane. "Are you going to sleep at your aunt's house?"

I nodded my head. "Yeah, I really want to invite you over, but I---,"

"It's okay," Flynn said, he opened the door for me and motioned for me to step in. "I'll stay in a hotel."

We stepped in the car and drove to the hospital. "Where are we, mommy?" Amari asked as she pressed her nose on the car window.

"In barcelona, princess. We're going to visit Grandma Ly and Milan."

"Granny and Milan?" She clapped excitedly in her hands as she made cheering noises.

A couple minutes later we arrived at the hospital. I lifted Amari up and walked inside the hospital followed by Flynn. At the front desk Flynn asked where Milan's room was and the nurse guided us to the room. It was a private room in the second floor with all the amenities one needed. When we entered the room I heard the sound of a videogame and I immediately felt so relieved.

He was alright.

"You're here!" Aunt Lydia jumped off the bed and walked towards me. She gave me a tight hug and then squatted down to pick up Amari. "How's my little bella doing?"

Amari smiled cheekily. "I want Milan."
