Authors: J.O Mantel
“I love you,” she whispered.
Lukas smiled. “I love you too, baby,” he replied, gazing into her eyes before leaning forward and kissing her on the lips.
“Well, at least that solves that problem.”
“What?” Lukas asked, rolling over and kissing Sienna on the nose.
“You are most certainly not gay.”
“Wait! You thought I was gay?”
“Ivy did.”
“Why?”
“When I told her that you and I had officially started dating, she warned me to be careful. She told me that it was a bit strange how out of everyone in the band, you were the only one that was single. She said that you asking me out was probably all a publicity stunt to protect your reputation. I know, stupid, huh?”
Lukas burst into laughter, Sienna went slightly red with embarrassment.
“What's so funny?” She asked.
“Nothing! You won't believe the number of times I've heard that from fans or read it in the tabloids.”
“And it never bothered you?”
“Why should it? I know never to believe anything that I read in the papers.”
Sienna adjusted herself so that her thigh was rubbing against Lukas's groin. She was pleased to notice that he was still hard.
“Is that a flashlight, or are you just glad to be lying next to me?” She teased.
“What do you think?” He whispered, leaning in and silencing her with a kiss.
She returned the gesture, surrounding his neck with kisses.
“So, what are we going to do, today?” She asked.
“Whatever you want,” Lukas replied.
Sienna thought for a moment. Banff was famous for its luxurious Lake Louise and hiking facilities. She was always busy concentrating on her career that she never took the time to explore and do the things that she wanted to do. And now, thanks to Lukas, she finally had the opportunity to do it all.
“Why don't we go for a hike? I hear this place is famous for its hiking facilities.”
Lukas smiled, “Someone's done their homework.” Kissing her again, he rolled over and looked at the time. “It's almost ten a.m. how about we get some breakfast first,” he said.
“Sounds perfect!”
Lukas ordered some room service and got out of bed.
“Care to join me for a shower?”
“Sounds very tempting, but I think I'll just lie here for a little while and enjoy the serenity.”
He leaned forward and kissed her and she watched and smiled as his ass moved up and down with every step. He walked into the bathroom and closed the door behind him.
For the first time since, forever, Sienna found herself complete. She had nothing to do except lay in bed and enjoy the scenery. She didn't have to worry about work, and she was with the one man she had wanted for so long.
She was finally happy.
She realized that she hadn't told Ivy about her getaway. She was in such a rush before she left, that it completely slipped her mind. She reached for her phone and text Ivy;
Hey, babe. How's it going? I was in such a rush yesterday that I forgot to message you. Lukas actually surprised me with a trip to Canada. We are spending the week here. Just wanted to let you know. How's everything going? And how's Dick?
She pulled the sheet off the bed, wrapped it around herself and walked over to the window. She opened the drapes and went outside. Sitting down on one of the deck chairs, she admired the stunning scenery from the balcony. She wasn't used to this, all she had ever done was work, work, work and never given herself the attention that she deserved. There was never a man in her life to pamper her and spoil her like Lukas did, she wanted to pinch herself, afraid that this might all be a dream.
Her phone beeped from the bedroom, she walked back inside and read Ivy's reply;
Hey Hun, wow! A week away, in Canada? That's awesome. Dick is great, just busy with work and so am I at the moment. I've got a busy day ahead of me so I'll speak to you soon. Say hi to Lukas and we will chat soon x.
Sienna smiled and went back out into the balcony. It was a beautiful summer day, the birds were chirping and there wasn't a single cloud in the sky. She heard the door open behind her, she turned and saw Lukas walk out towards her wearing only a towel. Every inch of his body was perfect, covered from chest to stomach with muscle and abs. She'd finally had a taste of him, and now she wanted more. He was hers, and only hers.
“Whatcha doing?” He asked, casually.
“Actually, for the first time, in a very long time...nothing.” She even hesitated saying it, like it was too good to be true. But it was, it was true, every bit of it. He sat down next to her and she rested her head on his chest, it was still warm from the heat of the water.
“Room service,” a voice called from outside the hotel.
“Ah! Right on time,” Lukas said, standing up and opening the door. He tipped the room service staff and wheeled the trolley out onto the balcony.
“Breakfast is served,” he said, removing the covers from the plates. There was everything she could have possibly imagined. Bacon, eggs, onions, hash browns, tomatoes, sausages and orange juice. Sienna was actually quite hungry, she hadn't eaten anything since they arrived last night. Lukas poured them some champagne and sat down beside her. They toasted to their happiness and enjoyed their breakfast.
Afterwards, the two of them got dressed and decided to go for a hike. Sienna put on her sweat shirt, track pants and sneakers. Lukas wore a muscle shirt, shorts and sneakers. They put on their shades and headed outdoors, hand in hand.
There were tourists around, many of which, Sienna gathered, were newlyweds judging from their constant affection towards each other.
Lukas and Sienna held hands and followed the hiking track around Lake Louise.
“Thank you,” Sienna said, suddenly.
“For what?” Lukas asked, slightly confused.
“For making me the happiest girl, in the world.”
They stopped walking and Lukas wrapped his arms around her waist, pulling her in towards him.
“Well, I haven't asked you to marry me.”
“I know that. But since meeting you, I've been so happy, you've made my dream come true. Whenever I'm with you, I'm always smiling, Ivy and Jake have even noticed how happy I am. I just don't know if I can ever make you as happy as you've made me.”
Lukas stared into her eyes, he moved the hair away from her face, “But you already have,” he said, leaning forward and kissing her.
She wrapped her arms around him. She didn't want to let go, not for a split second in fear that he would turn and run away and she would lose him, forever.
After he had reassured her that she had nothing to worry about they continued their hike along the lake.
They spent the rest of the day enjoying the sights of the ski resort before settling down to enjoy a Greek dish for a late lunch at the beautiful Balkan Restaurant.
“Did you enjoy yourself, today?” Lukas asked.
“Very much,” Sienna replied, finishing her meal.
“Well, it ain't over yet,” he added.
“What?” Sienna asked. What more could he possibly have in store for her? She was sure that they had seen all there was to see at the resort.
“I'll get the check,” he said, heading inside to the counter.
“Hello, Lukas,” Aias, the restaurant owner and close friend of Lukas, said.
“Hey, buddy,” Lukas replied as Aias walked around and gave him a hug.
“How are you? You don't come around here very often anymore. I guess the, ah, rock star life must keep you away,” Aias joked.
“I know, I'm sorry. I just wrapped up my first world tour with the band a few months ago and I'm here on vacation with my girlfriend.”
“You? Lukas Dark has a girlfriend?”
Lukas nodded and pointed outside to where Sienna was seated.
“She's beautiful. Well, I must say, I never thought I'd see the day, you with a girlfriend. I honestly thought you'd never settle down.”
“We've only been dating a few months, I'm not sure either of us are ready to settle down, just yet. But, it's going great, thank you. So, how's your brother, George?”
“He's good, he's actually my partner now, and we run this place, together.”
“Wow! That's awesome, congrats.”
“Thank you.”
“And how's your wife, Vicky?”
“Very well, thank you. She works here too, in the kitchen.”
“Well, it seems like you have the whole family working with you,” Lukas laughed.
“Yep!”
Lukas took out his wallet, but before he had the opportunity to give him any money, Aias stopped him.
“Put that away. This one's on me.”
“No! You have a business to run, you can't go handing out freebies,” Lukas placed the money on the counter, “Keep the change.” He gave Aias a huge tip and the two shook hands before Lukas walked outside, back to Sienna.
The two of them left the restaurant. They walked for about fifteen minutes before Lukas turned to her; “Close your eyes,” he whispered, kissing her on the lips.
“What? Why?”
“Do you trust me?”
“Yes!”
“Then close your eyes.” Sienna did as she was told. She could feel his arms wrapping around her as he fastened a harness against her chest and lower body. He placed a helmet on her head and helped her change into safety boots. He attached a rope to her harness and tightened it, making sure that it was secure, but not too tight before doing the same on himself.
“Alright, you can open your eyes,” he whispered, as Sienna opened her eyes.
“Oh my god! Lukas, what is this? What are we doing?”
“Shhh! It's ok, don't freak out, I'm here.”
She looked around and saw the huge rock they were about to climb. There was a guy on her right, who she assumed had to be a safety officer. Lukas spoke to him for a couple of minutes before he joined Sienna.
“Are you ready?”
“Lukas, I'm scared,” Sienna said, almost in tears.
“It's alright, I'm going to be right here, beside you.” He pulled her in and wrapped his arm around her waist, holding her tight. “Plus, there's a safety officer below us in case anything happens, but it won't.”
“Ok, are you ready?” The safety officer asked.
Lukas could feel Sienna's body shaking against his, he squeezed her a little tighter.
“Ready!” He said, looking at him.
“Ok, and...GO!”
Sienna took a gasp of air as Lukas lifted her off the ground. With one arm firmly wrapped around her waist, he used the harness as a guide, slowly and carefully he helped her climb the rock. He could feel her heart beating against his arm, he squeezed her a little tighter as they continued ascending the rock.
“How are you feeling?”
“I’m petrified, I can’t believe I’m doing this.”
“You're doing great. Just keep going, slowly, I’m right here beside you.”
They continued climbing a little higher, Lukas held onto her and she clasped his arm tight, almost digging into his skin with her nails.
“It’s going to be a little hard playing the guitar with only one hand, you know,” he joked.
“Sorry,” she said, loosening her grip.
Sienna turned and looked down, she gasped slightly as she saw the safety guard below them and how high they had actually climbed.
“Don’t look down.”
“No! I’m actually…okay,” she hesitated. Slowly she released her grip from Lukas’s arm and grabbed onto the rope. Carefully positioning her feet on the rock, she slowly continued to climb, Lukas remaining close beside her the whole time.
After about ten minutes, they finally reached the top of the rock, Sienna waited as Lukas removed his safety gear and then helped her out of hers.
“You did it! I’m so proud of you,” he whispered, leaning in and kissing her.
“I didn’t do it on my own, you were there with me the whole time, and you didn’t leave me” she said, returning his kiss.
“I told you that I wouldn’t leave you.” He looked down at the security guard and waved, prompting him that they were both okay. Lukas grabbed her hand and the two of them slowly started walking.
“I must say, that was the first time I have ever done anything like that.”
“And what did you think?”
“At first it was petrifying, but then once I knew you had a hold of me, it kind of made it a lot easier. It was almost like how I felt the first time I rode on the back of Jesse’s Harley.”
“You mean, Jake?”
“No, Jesse! He was the guy I was seeing before I met you.”
“Wait! You never mentioned him before now.”
“I didn’t feel the need to, besides, I have the man that I want,” she said leaning in and resting her head on his shoulder as they continued to walk.
“So this Jesse guy, he had a motorbike?”
“Yep! A Harley Davidson. I used to ride on the back of it all the time.”
“So, you like motorbikes, then?”
“I didn’t at first, he kind of freaked me out the first time I jumped on the back, but like I said after that, I got used to it.”
Lukas hesitated for a moment, as the two of them started making their way towards a track that led them down the rock they had just climbed.
“Did I say something wrong?” she asked.
“No. What makes you say that?”
“You just went quiet all of a sudden.”
