Honeymoon?

Alina's Pov

We remained silent for the remainder of the flight as I fell asleep the last hours before landing. I was exhausted, drained by emotions. "Alina, we landed," Olga muttered, dragging my arm. I scrubbed my eyes a little before yawning while stretching my stiff body. Jakov glanced at me, but didn't say anything, and a few minutes later, the plane had stopped, and we had quickly descended.

There was a car waiting for us near the airplane. We jumped in while the driver loaded our bags into the trunk, and soon we had left for our final destination: The Kostic's home. At least that is what I thought...

"I have organized for you two to stay at a high-end and private spa outside the city for a couple of days to get to know one another in a relaxed environment. Since you just met and married, I think it's a good idea, "Aleksander said a bit casually while scrolling through his phone. "Just the two of us? And what about Olga then?" I said a bit frantically, "Don't worry. She will be at home and wait for you to come back," he replied as Olga nodded her head that it was good for her. That wasn't good for me, though. I don't want to be alone with Jakov.

"We're here. My wife made sure you had everything you needed for the stay, and it's left in your room."

Aleksander glanced at us and nodded to his son before Jakov pushed out of the car and quickly closed the door,

"Hey? What the hell?" I muttered when I almost tripped. Jakov grabbed my arm to make sure I didn't fall. "Sorry, but I didn't know if you would cause a scene by leaving Olga," Jakov answered calmly as I looked at him.

"Yeah? And what if I did?" I said like a defiant child, and Jakov raised his eyebrows,

"I would have no problem with that because I have two older sisters who have always done that growing up. But my father has no tolerance for unnecessary drama. He has a short temperament, in other words," Jakov shrugged his shoulders and extended his arm toward the lobby entrance,

"After you, Alina," he nodded, and I began walking while taking notes off not to make a scene in front of Mr. Kostic in the future. We took the elevator up to the top floor after getting checked in.

We entered the penthouse, which was absolutely magnificent with a modern and quiet interior in cool and earthy colors.

I was amazed when I saw a kitchen and a living room with a house cinema installed. We continued across the passage that leads to the master bedroom. And I was stunned when Jakov opened the door, and I was just as embarrassed when I saw the rose petals over and around the enormous bed.

"Wow" was the only thing I could say. Jakov lightened his throat, "I think it's your stuff in the Manel bags next to the bed. Why don't you take a shower and change after the flight? I'll be in the lounge to give you a little space." Jakov left the room.

I took the bags up on the bed and began to search through them.

They were beautiful clothes, but they were very expensive.

I wouldn't say I like to know that someone spent that kind of money on me. The toilet bag contained brands of high-maintenance lotions and even makeup and perfume. I was blown away by the lingering and clothing. It was very revealing but still classy in a way.

One thing was for sure: his mother was a classy lady and probably well-groomed.

After reviewing everything, I chose the clothes that were less revealing and went into the adjoining bathroom.

Jakov's Pov

I left Alina in the room and had a glass of whisky before going out onto the balcony to light a cigarette.

Marrying Alina had been the most intense experience of my life. And I was nervous being on my own with her. Father never told this little plan he had set up, and I was surprised that my mom hadn't revealed anything since she was terrible with secrets. But my sister's pregnancy probably retained her focus too.

My sister Sophia was the eldest of us at the age of thirty, and Jasna, my other sister, was the second oldest at the age of twenty-seven.

The two are married and Sophia already has two children, and Jasna has just had her first baby.

"Hello, sister!" I answered the phone when I saw Jasna's number on the monitor. "Hey little brother, and congratulations: you are an uncle again!" She cried out, "Congratulations. And let me guess: it's another girl, right?" I replied and she began to laugh, "yes, it is, and she's beautiful!"

"I bet she is," I answered and took a deep puff from the cigarette. "What's your honeymoon like?" I sighed, "I don't know yet. I gave her a bit of privacy to shower and change. But it has been tense and she is very cautious."

"Certainly she is. Can you imagine being married to a stranger and taken far from home? At least I got a chance to fall in love with Ratko before we were married," Jasna said, "I know. But it's hard for me too, you know!"

"Yeah, yeah. Suck it up! What's she like, anyway?"

I took a deep breath when I saw her beautiful face before me in my mind, "She's absolutely breathtaking..."

I replied and Jasna's screams on the phone made me wince, "For God's sake," I roared and held the phone an arm's length away until she had stopped.

"I'm sorry,"

"You should be, but you must have scared the baby?" I muttered.

"No, she needed to lie in an incubator with UV light since she was a little yellow from birth, it's nothing serious, don't worry. Ratko and Mom went with her and let me rest for a while,"

"Oh, right. I have to go, Jasna." I rambled and hung up before she could resist. I sighed and put out the cigarette and lighted one more and hung around on the balcony for some time before I went back inside. It's been close to an hour now, and Alina wasn't out yet. After debating with myself, I decided to go and check on her to see if she was okay.

"Alina? Are you okay?" I knocked on the door and then opened it slightly. "Oh, I'm sorry," I whispered when she was standing by the bed in only lingering.

"Hey! Look away." She cried out and covered herself with the towel on the bed.

I turned around in a heartbeat with the picture of her nearly naked frozen in my mind. She was beautiful, flawless. The wet hair made her irresistible.

"You can turn back around now," Alina whispered and I swallowed nervously when she stood in a white robe of silk that ended right above her knees. Her wet hair was falling over her shoulders. And a drop of water was trailing down the cleavage between her breast. "Hey, my eyes are up here!" Alina said aggravatedly and waved her hand in front of her face.

"Shit. I'm sorry," I mumbled and cursed myself in my mind for acting like a perv.

"The shower is yours," Alina said before pushing her way beside me in the doorway and a scent of vanilla made me feel dizzy with needs while she walked away in the hall.

Crap. Now I needed a cold shower.
