She opened her mouth and said nothing. Her pretty head was so overwhelmed.
“I don’t need you to respond. Your words will come to you in time. I need you to know I can handle any insecurity you think about yourself or about this. I would’ve hiked a whole damnmountain with you on my back if necessary just for you to see this.”
She lifted her head and cleared her eyes as best she could. “It feels so good to let go, " she whispered. For somebody else, that may not have been the response they were looking for, but it hit me in the center of my chest. It was time for all the words to be done. It was time for straight action. I pulled her into me, and our lips touched, but this time, it was different. I felt her surrendering, and then I felt the moment she pulled back.
“All of it Le.” I swept the roses off the counter and laid her back against the granite countertop. Her back lifted from the coolness.
“Wait, Prince, I’m sweaty.”
“I’m grown, baby, you think I give a fuck about that?”
“I need to shower, please. Just give me a few seconds.” She hopped down. All that mouth Le could have sometimes, and she was so bashful. I loved every damn facet.
I watched her walk away, went to the guest room, and showered myself. I had quite the evening set up for us. We had a chef coming in around six, but seeing that it was just around two, I made a call and pushed it to eight. She wouldn’t have to worry about anything tonight. I wanted her to be carefree and comfortable. Even though it was a short ordeal, I was happy she was able to put it out of her mind because once we left this mountain, things were about to shift. I was stomping out those niggas by any means necessary. That would be what consumed my days and making sure she was straight. Between that, the current build, and the new project, Le needed to know her only place was beside me.
I finished before she did and sat on the bed in the master suite until she finished. She came out draped in a towel. Shelooked around the room and migrated to the fiberglass window. I stepped behind her and pulled her to my chest.
“This is an amazing view. Can you imagine how it looks when it’s snowing?”
“I have been up here a few times when it was. It is beautiful. Maybe we can come next year. Around that time, it’s a lot of family activities, so the whole mountain is buzzing. I’m sure you would love it.”
“I can’t believe you built this. It’s so beautiful.” She slinked away. Her hand touched my signature on the wall, and her eyes lit up.
“Another hidden treasure, huh?” She ran her hand across my name again.
“I always figured that I would have kids, but that didn’t mean I wanted to have a boring sex life. I wanted a place where my wife and I could do what we wanted, but kids shouldn’t be privy to whips, chains, and shit. It’s soundproof, too.”
She nodded but discomfort was clear on her face.
“You okay, Le?”
She flashed that fake smile I hated.
“I’m fine. This is just beautiful and overwhelming.”
“Not exactly a lie. Not exactly the truth.” She allowed my statement to cling in the air for a moment.
“You talk about your ex-wife. Did you do these things with her? The rooms?”
“I tried. That's when things started to fall apart for us. It was hard for her to see me the same way once I showed her this. She didn’t understand my need for control.”
“What happened after you showed her.”
“We never had sex again. Three months before it ended and we weren’t intimate.” I said honestly.
“Uh, let’s not talk about that tonight. In fact, let's not talk about anything. We have a few days, right?”
I nodded with my mind on the same course of action as hers.
“Let’s just feel.” She pushed the button, and the wall started to move.
She was right. My plate would be full when we left, but the next few days, my indulgence would be her and how sweet it was.

The sun peeking through the opened blinds woke me up from my slumber. A smile spread across my face, and I immediately remembered how fantastic last night was. I never thought I was a woman who loved flowers, but the way Prince always surprised me with them, I was addicted to receiving them. A bunch of yellow roses were by my side of the bed in my line of sight. He gave them to me yesterday, but the thought that he had placed them there so I could see them when I woke up warmed me. He was so big on the little things. This man really went all out. After he loved me down from head to toe, he scheduled a chef to serve us our meals. We went for another round, and I shamelessly passed out when we disconnected.
When I rose, my initial thought was, “Where was that man?”My man.After last night, I couldn’t deny it anymore. There were complications and things that still needed to be ironed out, but the way Prince spoke those words into me and dealt with my body had me feeling like I was invincible. Not wanting to waste another second, I flung the covers away.
