Chapter 56: First Night

Erik took his feet out of the water and lifted Aryana.  Aryana was startled and let out a scream.  He laid her down on the couch, cupped her face, and crushed his lips over hers.  He placed one of his hands on the back of her head and deepened the kiss forcing her to open up to him.  Her heart was beating wildly and was panting when he ended the kiss.

Erik brushed her lips with his thumb and smiled at her with satisfaction.  He stood up and flicked a few switches located at a pillar. The path surrounding the infinity pool was illuminated by a warm yellow glow.  The edge of the infinity pool became alive when water started gushing upwards.

Arayana gasped.  She stared dreamily at the rushing fountain which was highlighted by a beautiful splash of lighting.

"Do you like it?" Erik asked.

"Are you kidding me?  I don't like it."  Aryana paused and looked at Erik who frowned at her.
