Bonnie was puzzled. “Redeem yourself?”
Ivor sat by the bed, his eyes filled with affection. “Yeah. I met with Eloise because I wanted to get my stuff back. However, I did meet up with her privately behind your back. So, I want to redeem myself by giving you a massage.”
“Haven’t I told you that I don’t blame you for what happened?” Then, something occurred to her, and she stared at him. “Oh, I get it. Are you going to take advantage of me during the massage?”
He couldn’t help but chuckle. “Do I look like someone like that? I’m just worried that you’re tired because you came all the way to catch me in the act today.”
She stared at him for a while before saying, “Alright, then. I’ll believe you this once.”
Then she lay down on the bed. “Get on with it.”
Taking off his shoes, he climbed onto the bed and started massaging her shoulders gently.
“How does it feel? Am I hurting you?”
Her eyes were lowered while she wore a look of relaxation and pleasure. “It isn’t half bad. Keep going.”
“Alright.”
At first, he was giving her a proper massage. However, he started having funny thoughts after he smelled the sweet scent of her hair.
She came to realize that there was something weird about the way he massaged her. In fact, he was starting to do it somewhat erotically.
She shot up from the bed and gripped his hands, which were touching places where they shouldn’t have.
“Didn’t we agree that you wouldn’t take advantage of me? So, what do you think you’re doing?”
He looked at her innocently and held her.
“Isn’t it normal for me to feel turned on when my hot, beautiful wife is lying before me?”
She rolled her eyes at him. “Don’t offer it if you can’t do it. Also, don’t even think about changing a perfectly normal massage into something else halfway through.” Ivor was about to say something when she continued again.
“I was occupied with my research for the whole day. I’m worn out, and I’m trying to get some rest. Hurry up and go back to your room. Stop bugging me.”
He looked at her eyes, which were filled with exhaustion, and stopped speaking further. “Sweet dreams, honey.”
She yawned sleepily. “Goodnight.”
The next day, Ivor and Floyd were on their way to the company when he asked, “Are there any fun places that Bonnie and I can go, Floyd? I’m talking about the places suitable for a short getaway.” “Fun places?” Floyd pondered on it.
Before long, he had an idea, and his eyes sparkled.
“You could always take Ms. Bonnie to the hot springs, Mr. Ivor!”
“Hot springs?”
“That’s right! There’s a private hot spring in Verdant Valley Retreat with amazing vibes. Any couple that went there came back with their relationships stronger than ever. Needless to say, they became much sweeter to each other, too.”
Floyd was single. It took Ivor by surprise that he’d hear something like this from Floyd. So, he looked at his assistant strangely.
“Listen to yourself. Why do you know about this place so much? Have you been there?”
Floyd felt a little embarrassed. He explained quickly, “No. I’ve never been there. I don’t have a girlfriend. Who am I supposed to go to the hot spring with? I’m using my cousin and his wife as references.
“They used to show such little interest in each other that everyone thought they were about to get divorced. Then, they went away on a leisure trip to the hot spring, and she came back pregnant. She gave birth to a chubby baby.
“Now, they’re as sweet as honey. Both of them are very clingy to each other, too. They can’t even bear to leave each other for a second.”
“That sounds magical.” Ivor rubbed his chin gently, contemplating.
