I silently thanked God because this wasn't my experience when it came to dating. I had only taken one other woman on a vacation and she was only concerned with being seen with me. Lore was on something else. If I had heard her correctly, she would have appreciated me the same way if we were in the house. The thought only made me want to give her everything I had access to, but I knew in my heart, she wouldn’t want it.

I reached out to hold her hand and placed a kiss against the top.

“Well, we can still do a movie night when we get home, but we are getting ready to have a time, baby,” I told her.

She smiled and then looked back out of the window as the clouds began to clear and the beautiful country came into view. This was my first time in Barcelona, too, which was why I had gone out of my way with our accommodations. I leaned back in my seat and prepared myself for all the shit I had planned.

Once the plane landed, they gave us the go. I helped her out of the plane then led her over to the blacked-out SUV. Once we slid into the back, she looked over at me with the biggest smile. That shit made my heart warm even more. The fact that I could make someone feel good made me feel the same.

We finally arrived at the W Barcelona. I’d heard many good things about this place from some of the men I played ball with. According to them, if I wanted to show my wife a good time, this was the place to go.

The driver opened the door for us, and I stepped out, offering my hand to Lore. She took it with a smile, her eyes sparkling as she took in the stunning architecture of the hotel. Hand in hand, we made our way inside, marveling at the sleek, modern design of the lobby.

As we approached the front desk, I couldn’t help but feel a sense of pride. I had planned every detail of this trip from the blacked-out SUV to the honeymoon suite, and I wanted everything to be perfect for Lore.

“Welcome to the W Barcelona,” the receptionist greeted us with a warm smile. “How may I assist you today?”

“We have a reservation under Lockwood,” I said, squeezing Lore’s hand. “For the honeymoon suite.”

The receptionist’s eyes widened slightly, and she nodded, typing something into her computer. “Ah, yes, Mr. and Mrs. Lockwood. We’ve been expecting you. Your suite is ready, and I’m sure you’ll find it to your liking.”

She handed us our key cards and gestured toward the elevators. “Please, follow me. I’ll show you to your suite.”

As we rode the elevator up to the top floor, Lore leaned into me, her head resting on my shoulder. “I can’t believe we’re here,” she whispered, her voice filled with excitement. “Thank you, Niko. For everything.”

I wrapped my arm around her waist and pulled her closer. “Anything for you,” I murmured, pressing a kiss to her temple.

The elevator doors opened, and we stepped out into a private hallway. The receptionist led us to a set of double doors and unlocked them, stepping aside to let us enter.

The moment we stepped inside the suite, Lore let out a gasp of delight. The room was stunning, with floor-to-ceiling windows that overlooked the Mediterranean Sea. A plush, king-sized bed dominated the center of the room, and a spacious living area with a couch and armchairs was off to the side.

“Oh, Niko.” Lore breathed, her eyes wide with wonder. “This is so nice. I cannot believe you did all of this.”

I grinned, feeling a sense of satisfaction at her reaction. “I’m glad you like it, babe, but this is just the beginning.”

The receptionist showed us around the suite, pointing out the various amenities and features. Once she left, Lore turned to me, a mischievous glint in her eye.

“You know,” she said, running her fingers up my chest. “I think we should christen this room properly. As a thank you for everything you’ve done.”

I raised an eyebrow, feeling a stirring of desire at her words. “Oh, really?” I asked, pulling her closer. “And how do you propose we do that?”

She grinned and leaned in, her lips brushing against my ear. “I have a few ideas,” she whispered, her voice low and seductive.

As she led me toward the bed, I knew this was just the beginning of what was sure to be an unforgettable honeymoon. With Lore by my side, I was ready to take on the world, one room at a time.

THE FIRST NIGHT

After the flight and all the work we put in the moment the receptionist left, we found ourselves knocked out. I hadn’t planned to be in the room the entire first day, but I also knew I needed to be realistic. We didn’t need to fill every moment with shit to do. This trip wasn’t just about exploring Barcelona but about exploring each other too. I wanted to know who my wife was on more than just a physical level. I wanted to know what she thought.

I looked over at Lore, who was still asleep with her hair tossed all around her body and pillow like a halo. I leaned over and kissed her temple before slowly slipping from the bed. I wanted to make sure when she woke up, I could bring a little of what she said to Barcelona. I quickly got dressed and then took the elevator down to the front desk. I made eye contact with the receptionist and she walked over.

I explained what I wanted to have done and she nodded. I immediately followed her to the front desk to pay for the options I had asked for, then rushed back upstairs. I didn’t want to not be there when she opened her eyes. I was starting to live for those moments. I hadn’t experienced many of them but I knew enough not to miss another one.

By the time I made it to the room, she was still in bed, so I slipped in behind her and wrapped my arms around her waist. The feel of her against me had me bricking up again but I knew we couldn’t get into that if I wanted to surprise her. So, I tried to think about anything other than how good she felt in my arms. It was the only thing that I knew would keep my head on straight. I wanted tonight to be special.

She started to move around, making it even more difficult. I leaned forward and placed a kiss against her neck. She smiled and pushed her ass back against me again. I knew at that moment she had to be fucking with me and she wasn’t sleeping. Hadn’t been asleep since the moment I walked through those doors.

I leaned over her again, but this time, I bit her shoulder lightly, getting a giggle and a yelp out of her.
