Back at the vacation villa, Luther held onto Joyce, never letting go.
"Put me down, you've been busy enough. Don't keep holding me. Aren't your arms tired?" Joyce wrapped her arms around his neck, unable to stifle a yawn.
Luther carried her into the bathroom, where the hot spring water was overflowing, constantly emitting steam. There were natural hot springs on the South Island, and each room had access to them.
"You're so light, how could carrying you be tiring? Take a bath and relax." He set her down and helped her undress.
"Are all the guests gone?" Joyce asked.
"Yes. Aaron just reported to me via Bluetooth, all the guests have left, he's confirmed it. Now only our own people are left on the island, along with some resort staff." Luther unzipped her dress from behind. "We'll leave in the morning."
"I'll do it myself." Joyce instinctively covered herself.
Luther chuckled, whispering wickedly in her ear, "We've been intimate countless times, aren't you embarrassed? There's nowhere on your body I haven't seen. Nowhere I haven't kissed."
Joyce turned and playfully hit him, blushing, "Shut up."
Luther nipped her earlobe, no longer teasing her. He loved this about her, no matter how much time passed, she was always like a teenager.
He then undressed himself, lifted her up, and stepped into the hot spring. "Don't be shy, I'll wash with you."
Joyce gasped softly, "It's not dark yet, can't you be more discreet? What do you want to do?"
"What's there to be discreet about? No one will come." Luther submerged her in the water.
As the warm water enveloped their bodies, instantly dispelling fatigue, they both felt relaxed.
"It's rare for us to be alone together." He kissed her lips, finding her exceptionally beautiful today. Whether in a wedding dress or later in a formal gown, she was breathtaking. He was tempted to have her beneath him at any moment.
Joyce, overcome by his kiss, couldn't speak, holding onto his neck.
Luther whispered in her ear, "I wasn't satisfied earlier, can I now? I can't wait until tonight."
Before she could respond, Joyce frowned and grumbled hoarsely, "You've already done it, and you're asking me for permission? Doesn't that seem fake? Ah..."
Unable to continue speaking, her senses drowned in his tenderness.
Despite their fatigue, soaking in the hot spring and relaxing, they both felt at peace.
Luther cradled the back of her head, deepening the kiss. The feeling was too wonderful, he couldn't wait any longer, tonight he would indulge fully, rewarding himself for the stressful and tense times.
Just as the passion in the bathroom continued to escalate, a knock suddenly sounded at the door.
Joyce immediately snapped out of the moment, feeling her scalp tingle with fear.
She pushed Luther forcefully, trying to get him to step back.
But Luther refused to give in, how could he leave at a time like this? Wasn't that asking for trouble?
In a hoarse voice, he growled, "Who's out there?"
"Daddy, have you seen Mommy?" The voice outside belonged to Anderson.
Shocked, Joyce realized it was Anderson, who was supposed to leave the island with Kane shortly. She never expected him to come looking for them.
"Daddy, can I come in?" Anderson asked from the door, his hand already on the doorknob.
"Don't come in!" Joyce raised her voice. "Anderson, wait outside for a while. I'll be out soon."
Joyce had no choice but to say this. If Anderson barged in and saw her and Luther in their current state, it would be inappropriate for a child.
Outside, Anderson was dumbfounded, no wonder he couldn't find Mommy anywhere. She and Daddy were in the bathroom... they couldn't wait a moment longer...
Though young, Anderson knew what they were doing inside, it wasn't the first time he'd caught them.
