Alannah woke up in a light, modern room. The trip to the luxury spa had been blissfully uneventful. James and Theo had promised to keep them up to date with any findings, as one of the attackers was still alive and being questioned.
The spar itself was in a secluded area that was nestled between two mountains and looked over a large lake. It was currently all frozen, but Alannah did not mind as, in her eyes, it was stunning. Alannah was very surprised that there were no other guests. Kurt just smiled and said they deserved some serious alone time.
Alannah could not agree more. That night, they made love, and Kurt showed Alannah how tender he could be. Alannah enjoyed the slower pace and the sweet nothings Kurt whispered in her ears. Alannah had never felt so loved and happy.
Alannah tried to get up and go to the loo. But Kurt had different ideas as he held her tightly and pulled her into his chest.
"Where did you think you were going?" Kurt said, in a sleepy voice.
"To the loo!" Alannah said as she tried to wiggle out of his hold. Kurt playfully growled, and Alannah giggled as he kissed her neck.
"Stop it! I am bursting! " Alannah protested.
"Hmmm, if I let you go, will you promise to come back?" Kurt said.
"Always! " Alannah said
Kurt teased, "OK, but you have five minutes before I send out a search party," obviously pleased with the answer, letting her go. Alannah quickly ran off and sorted herself out. She quickly got back into bed and Kurt's arms.
"What do you want to do today?" Alannah asked.
"What about absolutely nothing?" Kurt said.
"Sounds like a good idea to me," Alannah said.
"Well maybe, not absolutely nothing," Kurt said seductively, as Alannah felt Kurt's cock in her back. She smiled and realised she was about to have a very good day.
The rest of the two weeks were the most relaxing and happy that Alannah and Kurt had. They had taken advantage of the facilities as soon as it was safe for Alannah to use them. Kurt had even organised activities, including a husky sleigh ride. Kurt would remember Alannah's giggles and happy face for the rest of his life.
The evenings were spent eating fine food, drinking fine wine, and talking. They talked about everything and anything. Kurt asked her one evening about her perfect house.
"Hmm, I don't know, I never really thought about it," Alannah said whilst Kurt was refilling her glass.
"Well... think about it now, sweetheart," Kurt encouraged.
"Why?" Alannah asked as she popped another bit of lobster into her mouth.
"Humour me," Kurt said gently.
"Hmm, well, I always liked the sea, so a house near would be good," Alannah said with a smile.
"Go on," Kurt said with a smile.
"A cottage, yes..you know, one with a straw roof and old brick. Not too big, maybe 3 bedrooms? I would love to have a big garden, "Alannah said.
"A garden?" Kurt was surprised.
"Yes, I... love growing things... I used to have a little garden and grow a few herbs and flowers. It brought me peace. I always dreamed of having something like a cottage garden full of roses, lavender, and foxgloves! Maybe an allotment area where we can grow some vegetables and soft fruit. Maybe even an orchard? Oww, and some grass area for a goat and a donkey!" Alannah said enthusiastically, and Kurt chuckled.
"Stupid, I know," Alannah said, blushing, wishing she had never said anything. It was just that Kurt was so Goddamn easy to talk to.
Kurt, sensing her embarrassment, put his hand over hers and said, "I was chuckling because you said we and your face is so adorable when you get excited. I love your dream home; it sounds like heaven to me! " Kurt said. Kurt knew every other woman he had been involved with would have talked about a massive mansion or a luxury flat, but not Alannah. She wanted a home and a taste of the simple life.
"What about you?" Alannah asked.
"Anywhere you are," Kurt said simply.
"That is cheating!" Alannah expressed her outrage.
"Only if it is not true, which it is!" Kurt pointed out, and Alannah just pouted. This made Kurt roar with laughter.
The nights were filled with love-making, which became easier and easier as Alannah's injuries healed.
"I wonder if I will ever get tired of this," Alannah murmured one night.
"You best not!" Kurt growled as he nibbled on her ear lobe playfully.
It was the last day before they had to go home, and Alannah was enjoying the thermal pool. She noticed that Kurt was not enjoying himself as much as she was. He was staring into the distance like his mind was thinking somewhere else.
"Penny for your thoughts?" Alannah asked, and there was no response. Alannah straddled him and kissed him. Kurt smiled and put his arms around her.
"Sorry Princess, what did you say?" Kurt said.
"I said a penny for your thoughts. You seemed a million miles away!" Alannah said with a half-smile. She ran her hands through the hair on the back of his head, something she knew he loved.
"Sorry," Kurt mumbled. There was no way he could tell her that the attackers were confirmed as Akihiko's, and Akihiko was mounting a legal challenge to get Alannah back. Akihiko was arguing that Alannah was willingly branded with his gang sign and therefore belonged to him. Of course, it would not go anywhere, but Kurt was worried that Akihiko was not backing off. Nor could he tell her about the surprise he planned for tonight.
"What is it, Kurt?" Alannah said. Kurt silently cursed. His little vixen could always read him like a book. He pushed her hair behind her ear.
"It's nothing, my love; I just don't want these two weeks to be over. I have never been happier and that is solely down to you, "Kurt said.
"Hmm, here I was thinking it was because of the volcanic mud wrap!" Alannah teased, and Kurt chuckled before tickling her. She giggled, and she begged him to stop. They spent the rest of the afternoon kissing and making love.
That evening, after dinner, Alannah expected to go back to their room, but instead, Kurt put a blindfold on her. "Are we at that kinky stage in our relationship now?" Alannah said as a black silk blindfold was put on her by Kurt.
He then smacked her arse and growled, "Don't tempt me, woman! I can't wait to show you my playroom when you get to London. " The thought of binding Alannah and making her come with some of his sex toys was making his balls ache. Would she like being spanked and dominated? He would start slowly, of course.
"Playroom? You have kept that quiet! " Alannah interrupted his wicked thoughts.
"Hmm, well, you will see it soon enough. Now, do you trust me to lead you? " Kurt whispered in her ear, sending shivers up and down her spine.
"I trust you with my heart and soul, so this should be no problem," Alannah said simply and honestly.
"Come on Alannah, I have something special to show you," Kurt said as he led her carefully. Alannah felt a temperature change, but that was about it. Kurt took the blindfold off and Alannah gasped. She was in a large glass igloo, with a perfect view of the Northern Lights.
"Oh, Kurt! This is the most beautiful thing I've ever seen. I can't believe you organised this for me! " She said she was watching the green ribbons dance across the sky.
"Alannah," Kurt said, and Alannah turned to see Kurt down on one knee with a ring box. There was a mass of flowers and soft lighting.
"Kurt? already done this! " Alannah said disbelievingly.
"I want to do it properly and in the way you deserve. Alannah, you are the most incredible person I have ever met. Every day you astound me with something, whether it is your smile, your ability to love or your ability to be kind. I waited so long for someone like you, Alannah, that I had given up hope. I know I am flawed and I don't deserve you. But please marry me and allow me to spend the rest of my life showing you how much I love you," Kurt said, his voice brimming with emotion.
"Oh Kurt, of course, I will!" Alannah said.
"Really?" Kurt said with a grin, and Alannah nodded. Kurt got up and put the ring back on her finger.
"There, back where it belongs!" Kurt with satisfaction.
"You don't have my Tussen by any chance?" Alannah asked with a wicked smile, and Kurt growled. He lifted her and twirled her around, making her giggle. Kurt and Alannah spent the night in each other's arms, making love and watching the Northern Lights.
The following day, Alannah and Kurt arrived back at the estate. James was waiting for them with a worried look on his face.
"James?" Kurt said.
"Hi Boss, you two are needed in the hall straight away," James said in a worried tone.
"OK," Alannah replied, sensing something was off. Kurt held Alannah's hand and they all walked to the hall. Theo, Frank, Anastasia, Demitri, Bruce, and Matt were already there.
"What is up guys?" Alannah said
"Hello Alannah," a familiar male voice said. Alannah turned and saw Akihiko smirking.
