Chapter 21.

Nick.

"Wow…"

"You can say that again." I muttered,

I looked down from my position on a large rocky mountain gazing upon the valley below which was completely covered in lush green vines. Then smack bang in the middle was a mansion, with another two rendered white houses alongside it. There was no other way to describe it but the perfect stereotypical French winery, large open spaces, fresh air and a large picturesque house in the centre.

"It's beautiful." Miley stated as I nodded,

I kissed the side of her head as she leaned on me looking down in awe, "Are they all this gorgeous or is this winery an exception?" She questioned her eyes drawing away from the scene below glancing at me,

"No, this one is particularly perfect." I responded wrapping my arm around her,

"I think I'm now understanding why you love work so much."

I gave a small chuckle as she leaned up kissing my cheek,

"It's not all luxury-" I began as Miley gave me a look,

"Nick we came on your dad's private jet, we had a four course meal on board, when we arrived a private car brought us here and now this." She stated letting her hand sweep across the valley, "This to me is luxury,"

"Not when you get into the business part…"

"No, but that's for tomorrow, tonight I want to show you my home."

We both spun around to see an elderly man, his face tanned and wrinkled showing his age but there was a bright twinkle in his eyes. He moved over wobbling slightly as he offered his dirty hand and I smiled offering mine,

"You must be Mr. De Luca it's a pleasure to finally met you."

"Oh call me Antonio, Nicholas it's an honour."

We shook hands as the owner turned his attention to Miley, "Wow, you're girlfriend is tres bien." He stated leaning and taking Miley's hand while she blushed profusely watching him kiss it, "It's a real honour to have both of you here on my small winery,"

"I'd hardly call it small." Miley whispered, "It's amazing…"

"Thank you, been in my family for generations."

"Why do you want to sell it then, something this gorgeous?"

Miley's eyes looked out across the land and Antonio moved up beside her looking out as well. "I have only daughters, four of them all busy with their careers now and no one to take care of my property. I know of the Grey family, most grape men like myself do and when your father took interest in my humble family business I couldn't help but feel the need to make a deal. After all your family is renown for keeping properties exactly the same, as well as keeping the same workers."

"Of course." I responded, "If this does go a head, we want your in put as much as possible along with all your workers. After all there's nothing like the true owners knowledge to make a business successful."

Miley looked at me and smiled taking my hand as Antonio nodded,

"I want to still be a part of the winery,"

"And you will be Antonio, this will always be your land."

"Now would you like a tour?"

"Yes." Miley stated before I could respond,

"Right please can you deliver their bags to the guest house." Antonio stated to the driver who nodded and climbed in as he looked back at us, "I think we'll start up here and I'll show you my favorite part of the land."

We began to walk through the vineyard, winding our way down the rocky landscape. I'd had a hundred personal tours but for Miley this was a new experience, and she listened chatting along with Antonio asking questions while I felt like a bit of a third wheel. She acted so natural in this part, compared to Selena anyway, when I brought her once she'd complained the whole time about pretty much everything not to mention how rude she'd been. Miley however was different she was totally enthralled in learning about the winery and I already knew this would not be her last trip with me, she'd be begging to go on all of them by the interested look on her face.

"So you plant roses at the end of each row?" Miley questioned intrigued,

"Yes or other plants to distinguish what wine it is. Red roses for the red wine, white roses for the white wines." Antonio explained as Miley leaned down smelling one of the roses,

"Miley's a florist." I added as Antonio smiled,

Miley looked up amazed, "The roses smell amazing, so much better then ours."

"My wife's pride and joy, she was also a florist back in her younger years."

"Our families have a lot in common." Miley muttered,

I took Miley's hand as she smiled at me, "Now last but not least, the house."

We both turned looking at the large gorgeous house, "I decided it would be best for you to stay in the guest house, it's just over there…"Antonio indicated over towards a separate two story white rendered house, "I will let you two have a break from my constant chatter and rest up, dinner is at six."

"Terrific." Miley stated grinning, "Thank you for the tour."

"It was my pleasure,"

Antonio turned away heading to the main house as I looked at Miley,

"What are you trying to do, steal my job?" I joked as she laughed,

"No I just want to learn." She stated shrugging,

"I know, come on let's go look at the guest house."

We walked over together as I opened the unlocked wooden door. Miley walked in first and instantly stopped as I followed closing the door. Miley's eyes looked around one of the biggest smiles I'd ever seen across her face, the house was amazing and Miley clearly liked it. There was a large open area in the middle right up to the roof where a large skylight illuminated the inside. Upstairs I could see only one door, most likely a bedroom while the kitchen and living room were all connected down here.

"I want to live here forever." She announced as I laughed,

"Well if we buy it you can live here."

Miley turned laughing at me, "On my own?"

"Maybe I could live here too." I suggested and she nodded,

"I like that idea better."

I leaned forward kissing Miley lightly as she pulled away biting her lip an intrigued look across her face. "You thinking what I'm thinking?" She whispered running her hand down my shirt her eyes locked with mine, "I mean we have at least an hour and a half till dinner."

I looked at her and nodded, "I think I am thinking what your thinking."

Miley leaned up kissing me as I wrapped my arms around her waist deepening it. I pushed her lightly up against the wall as she moved her hands up pulling off my suit jacket while not breaking our kiss. Her fingers began to work their way up again unbuttoning my shirt as she broke away from the kiss looking at me smiling,

"Maybe we should go upstairs?" She whispered smiling,

I looked at her and nodded, "Yeah…good idea."

Miley took my hand and I followed her up the staircase moving to the top, the second we reached the second level I grabbed her hips and pushed my lips back onto hers. A moan came from her as we both stumbled towards the bedroom in what felt like a trance pushing open the door quickly. Miley pulled the shirt off me running her warm hands down my chest while I found the zip to the back for her dress and slowly pulled it down. Miley easily slipped out of the dress and her hands began to unbuckle my belt, we were actually about to do this,

I felt the vibration suddenly and Miley stopped. She broke away from our kiss and looked down at my pants and then back to me as the vibration came again, she gave me a look with raised eyebrows as I laughed,

"Phone."

"Of course…" She responded,

Her hands went into my pocket purposely nudging her hand into a dangerous area. She smiled at my reaction quickly pulling out the phone only for her smile to drop,

"It's your dad," She muttered holding up the vibrating phone,

I groaned knowing I had no choice but to take it. I took the phone from Miley's fingers as she gave me a look,

"Can't you ignore it?"

"No, I can't…you stay right here, I'll be back."

I kissed Miley's cheek as she sat down on the bed, as I noticed her matching black underwear and body, god I hated dad right now. I walked out of the room quickly pressing accept,

"Dad…"

"Nick how's everything?"

"Good dad, this place is amazing and the owner is great."

"Fantastic, so you reckons it's a done deal?"

"Pretty much," I responded leaning on the wall,

"Great, and how's Miley liking it?"

"She's loving it dad, thanks for this." I stated seriously and I could tell he was smiling,

"No problem,"

"How's Frankie doing?" I asked and dad sighed,

"No better no worse, doctor's a little concerned about the kidney it's not working as well as first thought but he's still positive." Dad responded and I nodded combing my fingers through my hair,

"Give him my love,"

"I will Nick, talk to you tomorrow."

"Yep will do."

"Bye,"

"See ya,"

I hung up and turned back into the room smiling only for my smile to fall a little. I sighed closing the bedroom door and walked over to Miley who in only a minute had fallen asleep, she clearly didn't deal with jet lag well. I leaned down kissing the side of her head as she let out a murmur and rolled over cutely. I pulled the sheets up over her body and laid down beside her, we had two weeks why rush it? I'd already waited forever.

Miley.

I rolled over letting out a small noise groggy listening carefully to the heartbeat below me. Fingers gently ran through my hair and I could hear the movement of shuffling paper. I moved my hand reaching along the chest below me as fingers clutched mine kissing my hand gently,

"You fell asleep." Nick whispered quietly,

"I'm sorry," I responded opening one eye.

Nick leaned forward kissing the top of my head shrugging, "It doesn't matter, I didn't even notice you were tired." He muttered as I slowly sat up taking in my new surroundings, the bedroom was just as gorgeous as the house.

"Me either, I just laid down and then-"

"Jet lag." Nick responded, "Adrenaline wore off and you were out."

"Did you get any sleep?" I asked look back to him,

Nick shook his head motioning to a bunch of paperwork on me, I frowned staring at the sheets sitting on my lap as Nick took them off me. "I was doing a little light reading for work while you were being the perfect desk." He announced as I turned giving him a look only for him to plant his lips on mine,

I pulled away frowning, "What time is it?"

"You've been out for about an hour."

"Okay," I stated leaning back on Nick as he wrapped his arms around me,

"I liked the lingerie."

I looked up at him smiling, "They weren't the actual lingerie…"

"They weren't?"

He looked at me intrigued as I pulled down the sheet pointing at my bra, "Do these really look like sexy lingerie to you? There is no lace what so ever!" I responded as Nick leaned over kissing me again smiling,

"I can't wait to see it then,"

"Hopefully I'll be able to stay awake that long."

"You should get ready, maybe have a shower-"

"Are you trying to say I smell bad?" I questioned as Nick rolled his eyes,

"No, I'm not. A shower will help you wake up, because right now you look exhausted." Nick stated as I leaned up kissing the side of his cheekbone pulling the rest of the sheets down,

"So you're saying I look a mess instead?"

I climbed off the bed as Nick gave a frustrated groan, "No I didn't-"

I turned giving him a smile as I walked over to my suitcase. I opened it and leaned down rustling through my bag finding a pair of matching underwear, after Selena's little comment I was going to make sure everything matched. I grabbed one of my summer dresses that Nick had bought when he gave me his credit card to go shopping the other day. I felt a hand suddenly squeeze my ass as I stood up only to be pulled onto Nick's body as his lips kissed mine,

"You have got to stop teasing me…" He whispered against my lips,

I laughed and gave him a light peck pulling out his grasp, "No way,"

I walked into the bathroom and closed the door, slowly stripping off my underwear and climbing into the shower. I pulled the curtain across lapping up the hot water to revitalize me, because right now it seemed Nick would be getting no action at all tonight with my current zombie like body. After a few minutes of the warm water I felt a cool breeze and turned opening the curtain a little to see the door had opened and Nick stood in the frame,

"Nick get out," I yelled embarrassed,

He just laughed and walked in staring at me, "I kind of need a shower too."

"No." I responded as he looked at me, "No you can't see me naked."

"Why not?"

"Because…just get out,"

I pulled the curtain back across blushing, Nick had never seen me like this and I knew I shouldn't be this nervous but I was. I turned my back to the curtain as I heard it open and I let out a huff,

"Nicholas! This is sexual abuse!" I announced threatingly,

"Not if you want it too,"

I felt him climb into the shower as I let out a playful scream quickly covering my indecent body with the shower curtain, while Nick stood laughing at me in his white shirt and suit pants. The water instantly began to soak him as I quickly raised my hand slapping him,

"Get out! You're getting wet."

"Like I care," He responded seductively,

"You have to wear that to dinner Nick!" I yelled panicked as he laughed,

"About dinner…" He started looking at me smirking, "It was like three hours ago, kind of had to cancel because you were so completely out of it. Antonio however managed to save us some food," I stared at him confused and then let my hand slap him again,

"You jerk, why the hell did you tell me to have a shower then!"

"Because it was a quick way to get you to strip,"

"You know what, I hate you." I stated as Nick just laughed,

He grabbed my waist as I screamed trying to push him away half heartily. His lips connected with mine and I pulled away giving him a look, "You know if I'm here naked then you need to loose your clothes too or I'm not doing anything." I announced as Nick instantly nodded in compliance.

He stripped off his shirt and pants leaving only his boxes as I smiled,

"Better?" He questioned and I smirked,

I leaned forward playing with the waistband on his jocks, "No…everything off Nicholas,"

"Then you get rid of the shower curtain." He responded seriously,

I looked at him and licked my lips and nodded, "Fine on the count of three,"

"One,"

"Two."

"Three,"

The second we released both remaining items of 'clothing' Nick's lips were hotly back on mine pushing me up against the shower wall. My arms slipped around his back feeling the muscles while I felt one of his hands travelling up my body further. I didn't even bother to look down because I didn't need to, I already knew that Nick would be the best because this time I actually loved the boy I was about to have sex with. Nick's body pressed up against mine as he suddenly pulled away and pressed his head against mine, the water droplets slowly dripping down his face,

"You do want this right?" He whispered as the steam rose around us,

I looked at him and nodded, "More then anything in the world."

Nick smile and leaned forward, "I love you so much Miley,"

"I love you too Nick."

Nick's locked his lips back with mine, and some how I knew this was going to be the best and longest night of my entire life.
