“Send a helicopter here with the best painting equipment immediately!”
On the other end of the line, Sean was flabbergasted to hear his boss’s command. He had been busy supervising the servants to clean up Sebastian’s house. Although the errand was out of the blue, he had no choice but to respond, “Okay, sir. I… I’ll do that right away.”
In a resigned state, Sean guessed that Sebastian wanted a set of painting equipment because of Natalie. He immediately set to work Thirty minutes later, a helicopter came to the island and delivered a set of painting equipment.
Sebastian wasted no time in grabbing them. He strapped the easel and the drawing board on his back, while he carried the acrylic paint set, a bucket, and paint brushes in his hands. He then walked back to the beach.
“What! Where did you get all these from, Sebastian? The drawing board is so big. How come I didn’t see it among our belongings just now?”
Natalie asked in surprise. Opening her arms wide, she added, “This is an uninhabited island and there’s no shop here. More so, the closest habited area is hundreds of miles away from here. Where did you get these things from?”
As Natalie bombarded him with questions, Sebastian set down all the tools and smiled at her. She looked so adorable in her puzzled state.
“Well, there’s a ship on the other side of the island. I went to speak to the occupants there. Luckily, there was a painter amongst them. He sold these tools to me at a cheap price.”
“Wow! Where is he?”
Natalie’s eyes lit up and she looked in the direction that Sebastian had come from.
“I want to meet him!” she added excitedly. Sebastian grabbed her wrist and replied sadly, “I’m afraid that can’t be possible. They sailed away as soon as I got out of the ship. I think they only stopped to watch the sunset. Not to worry, I already thanked him enough for you. Didn’t you say that you wanted to paint? Why don’t you get right to it? See, the sun would set soon. You’d better hurry up!”
Natalie was a little displeased that she couldn’t meet the so-called painter, but she smiled and began to set up the easel. The cool evening breeze blew her white dress when she took a paintbrush and dipped it in paint.
Now that she was ready to begin painting, Sebastian decided to take delight in watching her. He poured himself a cup of refined beer and sat next to her. He quietly watched as she painted.
Only one-quarter of the sun remained in the sky about an hour later. Sebastian thought it was about time she finished painting. He stood up from the wooden chair, put his arm around her shoulder, and kissed her on the forehead. He then brushed her nose with his, Smiling dotingly at her, he asked, “My little painter, how’s your painting coming along?”
Without responding, Natalie brushed the paintbrush on the canvas a few more times before she put it away. A proud smile suddenly appeared on her face.
Massaging her hand, she stared at the canvas intently. On the canvas, there was a man and woman sitting side by side. The rays of the orange sunset were on them. A sea which was dyed golden by the sunset was in front of them.
Thin coconut trees were on each side of the canvas. The mood of the painting was serene.
The white clothes the nad on also contributed to its warmness. Natalie had intentionally painted her and Sebastian. The current atmosphere was beautiful, calm, and romantic. She wanted to make this moment last forever.
“What do you think?” Natalie asked timidly.
If she had to be honest, she wasn’t really confident about the painting.
The last time she had painted with nature as the subject was when she was still a student.She had been drawing fashion
designs so much that she had started to feel the rest of her drawing repertoire slipping.
As for what she had just made, she’d just pulled it mostly out of her imagination.
Natalie wasn’t sure if Sebastian would like it; it certainly looked flat to her.
Sebastian’s face was unreadable as he reached out to run his fingers across the drawing board.
For one long moment, he said nothing and just stared at it.
Natalie grew flustered soon enough.She tugged at his sleeve, her lips pursed.
“Sebastian, is everything okay?”
Instead of answering her, he just bent down and kissed her again.
Natalie was so nervous that her palms were sticky with sweat, but she still grabbed his shirt and pulled him close.She closed her eyes and allowed herself to fall into his passionate assault, even as her heart thundered inside her chest.
Their kiss deepened, their tongues dancing wildly against each other.
The sound of the crashing waves faded into the background, and all they could hear was their labored breathing and the occasional moan of pleasure.
“Wait, Sebastian,” Natalie panted as she pulled back and turned her head sideways to avoid another kiss.
“You haven’t said anything about my painting yet.” Her face was flushed, and her lips were swollen.
Undeterred, Sebastian pressed a soft kiss on her cheek and pressed her slender waist against his body.He gave the drawing board a short, tender glance before trailing more kisses down her throat. His lips wandered to the back of her ear.
“It’s good, babe,” he whispered, his voice tight.
“It looks really good. There, can I do it now?”
Sebastian was burning with desire.
Natalie finally looked up at him, only to lower her eyes again.Her mind was slowly turning into mush.She didn’t even know what to say.
The truth was that she wanted him just as much as he wanted her, if not more.
Sebastian’s eyes darkened.
Before she could utter a word, he swooped down and mischievously licked her fips, nipping and sucking the soft flesh between her teeth.
Soon enough, neither could contain their raging lust any longer. Sebastian picked Natalie up and carried her into the tent.
The next thing she knew, he had already set her down on the thick bedding, trapping her with his large frame.He rubbed his body against hers, eliciting a slow moan that sent currents running down his veins.
Sebastian kissed her gently on the neck, prompting Natalie to grab his collar in a death grip.
For some reason, that single, innocent kiss was more profound than the more torrid ones they had just shared.Her long legs instinctively wrapped around his waist.
The air inside the tent grew hot and heavy.
“Sebastian…”
Natalie trembled, all at once excited and scared.She could feel every inch of his hands as they roamed her body, and wherever they touched, her skin ignited.
“I’m here,” Sebastian rasped.
With one swift movement, he sat back on his hunches and took his shirt off, revealing his broad chest.
He looked like a beast raring to devour its prey.
A drop of sweat fell from his hair and slid down his toned abs before disappearing under his trousers.
Natalie closed her eyes in anticipation.
She heard the sound of a zipper ripping open, and then finally, she felt it-hot, hard, and pulsating, pressing against her pelvis.
Just when they were about to get to the best part, there was a bright flash of light, followed by the cracking sound of thunder.
Heavy rain began pouring in the next second, beating down on the tent and causing its roof to cave in slightly.Sebastian propped himself up on his elbow and swept the tent’s curtain aside.
When he saw the storm raging outside, his eyes narrowed dangerously.He had made sure to check the weather forecast before they had even come here.
