After finding the swimsuit Lexi had told her about, Jackson reluctantly agreed to let her wear it " Babe I still don't think this swimsuit covers enough of you. He picked up the hem of her cover up, checking out the backside of the swimsuit again. "But it does look better then the rest of them."
She sighed heavily, leaning forward putting her arms around his waist . Her voice was was sweet as candy as she spoke " kiss me and let's just go lay in the sun together."
Running his long fingers around the elastic of the swimsuit , he ask her, " what if I get all hot bothered watching you beside the pool, can we go to our room?"
"Yes ," she muttered tugging him forward ,to go back down stairs to the west wing garden.
In the garden Alex had called his butler Marlin to come and get the DNA test kits . When he arrived Alex gave him the orders he wanted carried out." Marlin, take these packages to the Lab down town. Give them to Jordan he will know what to do with them."
Marlin took the packages and bowed his head asking him" Is there anything else I can do for you, Your Majesty."
" No thank you Marlin , that will be all."
Mr. Marlin has had it easy now that Alex has moved into Lexi's room, all he does is lay Alex's clothes out on the dressing table in the bathroom, the maids have been taking care of everything else .
As Marlin was leaving Jackson and Karmen stepped back into the pool area. Mr Marlin greeted Jackson on his way out " Good afternoon Your Royal Highness."
"Good afternoon, Mr. Marlin , I hope Alex isn't working you to hard."
Mr. Marlin, shook his head and politely answered him " Your Majesty is really quite easy compared to your Grandfather. King Henry , rest his soul, was a prefectionist in the way he dressed, I had to shine his shoes twice a day. And iron his shirts after the maids had already done so."
Hearing this reminded Alex of just how long Mr. Marlin had been working in the castle , he knows most everything about his grandfather and his father.
Alex stepped over beside Jackson and Mr. Marlin and ask "Mr. Marlin , do you remember where grandmother came from?"
Mr. Marlin turned his attention back to Alex, He tugged his brows together, looking up towards the ceiling, looking as if he was deep in thought for a few seconds, He then brought his eyes back to meet Alex's ,Stuttering a little bit "Ah...Your Majesty, your grandfather was a lot like Prince Jackson in his younger days. He enjoyed his time before settling down with your grandmother . I do remember when your grandfather married your grandmother. She was a young Princess."
He paused pulling his eyes back up to the ceiling , he closed them as he thought
about how everything was back then. Looking back at Alex he continued.
"Your Majesty, as I was saying your grandmother was a young Princess, I would say no more than seventeen or eighteen, you know ,they married young back in those days. And if I dare to say, she was quite the beauty ,a rare jewel always dressed to perfection never a hair out of place ,and your grandfather treated her as such. There was nothing he wouldn't do for her, he was always showering her with rare jewelry and expensive art work. Anything she ask for he would give to her .But If anyone was to dare look her way ,your grandfather would have gouged their eyes out. But I'm sorry your Majesty ,I don't recall anyone saying where she came from."
Amused by the story he just heard, he patted Mr. Marlin on the shoulder, amusement filling his voice,
" thank you Marlin, it seems Eddington men haven't changed that much."
" You are correct your Majesty , I see a lot of your grandfather's ways in you and in Prince Jackson also."
As Mr. Marlin was leaving the garden, he turned sharply as if he had forgotten something he needed to say " OH! Your Majesty I do remember long a go ,a man told me your grandmother was from a land far away , but Your Majesty, he didn't say how far away,"bowing he muttered "Your Majesty, have a nice day." Turning sharply he stepping out of the garden area back into the castle.
Lexi pulls a brown bottle out of her bag asking Karmen " do you want me to rub some sunblock on your back ?"
She took her cover up off revealing her tan skin and her sexy little curves, Jackson walked over taking the bottle from Lexi's hand, insisting on doing it himself , "allow me Lexi, just lay back and enjoy the sun ,I can do this.
Squeezing the creamy sunblock in his hand, he caressed her delegate collarbone running his hands down to the deep curve of her tiny waist. Rubbing both hands down her sides , thinking about what Mr Marlin just said about his grandfather gouging someone's eyes out for looking at his grandmother.
Indeed he was like his grandfather ,he didn't want anyone to look at the tiny little creature in front of him. And Alex also took after his grandfather in a different way .He doted on Lexi giving her anything and everything she wants.
The sound of Alex's voice brought him out of his thoughts, he turned towards Alex to hear him say ." What do you want to drink."
Lexi perked up right away, spouting out her order for him, " I want a cola and some tortilla chips with cheese did."
Karmen canceled her order right away,
"Oh no, Alex order her a vegetable tray with a Greek yogurt dip. And a lemon water. She's had enough junk food for the day.
And I will have a glass lemon water "
Jackson finished rubbing the sunblock on her beautiful skin and took a seat in the lounge chair beside her. And give Alex his order " Alex order me a beer."
Picking up his phone and texted the Kitchen staff everyone's orders. They all set beside the pool chatting with each other, until the sun started to set in the evening sky and air became chilly.
