happening again.
    Then suddenly I feel her fingers pinch my butt and I turn around in a frenzy to grab hold of her with all my life, sheer relief mixed with angst and anger at her antics. She tries to run, but I capture her around her waist and haul her over my shoulder.
    ‘Never — do — that — to — me — again!’ I slap her butt on each word, and she is screaming and laughingas I unceremoniously dump her beautiful body back on the sun lounge. ‘I swear to god, Alexa. You just about gave me a heart attack.’
    She’s laughing uncontrollably now; once she starts, she always finds it hard to stop. Still beside myself with fear, adrenaline surging through my veins, I quickly pick up the tie from around her robe and deftly wrap it around her wrists, tying each of her hands to the side of the lounge.
    ‘What … what are you doing? You … can’t …’ She staggers between her hysterics, laughing so much she has no hope of preventing my actions. I ensure they won’t loosen.
    ‘This way, at least I know you will stay put.’ Much better, I think to myself. She looks so sexy restrained to the sun lounge in her bikini. Now that I know she is safe, I’m pleased that she has had a good belly laugh.
    ‘Jeremy, please untie me.’ She’s still laughing at my reaction. ‘Anyone could come up.’
    ‘After having you vanish on me like that, I don’t care what they think. You know I’ll go to any extreme to keep you safe. After that behaviour, how can I trust you not to disappear again? Besides, everyone just left for an early dinner, so I’m afraid there is no reason whatsoever to untie you.’
    Finally, she is able to get her breathing under control. She tests her restraints. ‘Honestly, you know this is not necessary. Release me.’
    ‘Never. You just about scared me to death.’
    ‘But I can barely move.’ She struggles again.
    ‘Exactly, sweetheart, that’s my intention and it gives me great peace of mind. More than I’ve had for days, actually.’ I allow a smile onto my face.
    My innuendo is impossible for her to ignore. I place her sunglasses over her eyes and the hat on her head. I can’t resist kissing her lips while I’m in the vicinity, knowing there’s physically not much she can do to resist me.
    ‘Well, could I at least have my drink please?’
    ‘Are you going to apologise?’ I hold the drink up toward her face.
    ‘For pinching your butt, never!’ Her cheekiness is contagious.
    ‘Alexa,’ I admonish, and move the glass away.
    ‘Okay, I’m sorry, but it was pretty funny.’ Her giggles begin again.
    ‘You know as well as I do that the word “but” negates everything that comes before it.’
    ‘Alright, I’m sorry, I didn’t mean to alarm you, really. I was just having some fun. Can I now have a drink? Please. I shouldn’t have to beg.’
    ‘It’s so good when you do, though …’ I raise the potent drink to her lips and she takes two quick mouthfuls.
    ‘It’s nice to see you laugh, AB. It’s been a while.’
    ‘Yeah, great, I laugh and end up tied to a chair.’
    ‘But this way, I get to look after you.’ I feed her some bread and dip before taking off my shirt and straddling her trapped body. Her sharp intake of breath confirms she likes what she sees. ‘And do what I want with you.’
    I nuzzle my face in between her bountiful breasts before nipping her pert nipples through the fabric of her bikini, which is met with both struggles and squeals of delight. I trail my kisses along her belly before pausing at the top of her bikini bottoms to look up at her face. Her eyes are fused with lust and excitement.
    ‘God, I love you like this, but to go any further would be indecent.’ Confusion crosses her eyes. ‘We are here to drink. After all, that is what you requested.’
    She unconsciously attempts to move her arms toward me, momentarily forgetting they are trapped. ‘Jeremy!’
    I shift away from her to pick up the drink and have a sip, and then pass it to her for
