Chapter Forty-One

**Author's note: I have blackhope88 to thank for the idea of Lila's gift, so thank you!

Lila's heart stopped the moment she saw the box. This was a moment she had been dreaming of since she met Spencer, but now that it was here, she didn't know what to do. She removed the box from his hands, her own shaking slightly. She opened the lid and was shocked at what she saw. Nestled in the folds of white velvet were the most beautiful earrings she had ever seen.

They were made of fourteen karat white gold and were in the shape of a flower. Deep blue, pear-shaped sapphires formed the petals and diamonds outlined the petals. Although the present wasn't what she thought it was, she still loved it. She threw her arms around Spencer's shoulders, pulling him close for a kiss.

"They're beautiful, Spence," she said in between kisses.

"Beautiful for you," Spencer replied, laying on his back and pulling her on top of him. He removed the earrings from the box and placed them in her ears. The jewelry looked as though it had been custom made for her. The diamonds and sapphires sparkled in the candlelight and the blue of the gemstone made her skin glow.

"When did you find the time to buy them?" she asked.

"I noticed them in a jewelry store in the hotel a few days ago and just knew I had to have them for you. Remember when you followed the hellhops outside when we checked out?"

Lila nodded and Spencer smiled. "I was in and out before you even realized I was gone."

"I'm glad that only applies to your shopping abilities," she teased, melting as Spencer ran his fingers through her hair.

"Me too," he replied, that all to familiar look in his eyes.

Lila lowered her face towards his as he lifted his head. Their lips soon found each other and their tongues didn't stray too far. Spencer removed her sweatshirt, tossing it aside, along with the white tank top underneath. Lila removed his shirt as well and it wasn't long until they were both completely bare. Lila sat up and straddled him.

She ran her fingers through his hair and down his soft, smooth skin before descending onto his hardness. As always, she gasped as his generous member filled her, blown away by the size of it. Spencer wrapped his hands around her hips, moving in rhythm with hers. After a few moments, though, he stopped suddenly. He removed himself from her and stood up, pulling her up with him.

"Spence, what...?" she asked, her eyes dilated with arousal.

Spencer gave her a mischevious smile and led her towards the water. When Lila caught on, she couldn't help but smiled herself.

"I know this has been a fantasy long in the making for you," he said as they summerged themselves in the cool liquid.

They swam out until they were far enough out so that their feet didn't touch the bottom of the lake. Spencer pulled her close again, wrapping his arms around her. Lila wrapped her legs around his waist and his hardness filled her again. He reached down so his hands were on her ass, squeezing it and pulling her closer. Their hips and mouths moved quickly, eager for sweet release.

Spencer knew she was close, so he gyrated his hips, the sudden action causing her to cry out. Her nails dug into his back as she came over and over again, surrendering entirely to him. Once he was assured of her pleasure, Spencer gave in as well, filling her with his desire. They held each other tightly, unwilling to undo themselves from the warm, intimate embrace.

"Who knew I could be so hot in a lake?" Lila teased in between kisses.

"You're hot everywhere," Spencer mumbled, reclaiming her lips.

They continued kissing and it wasn't long until the desire came over them again. Lila felt his member increase inside of her, so she began to move her hips. As their continued their erotic randeveous, she lowered her hand to claim the rest of him. He had the same idea, manipulating her clit with his fingers. They worked in perfect unison until they both surrendered to the flood of passion that swept over them.

When each was assured of the other's satisfaction, they slowly pulled away from each other, swimming back to shore. They walked back onto the land and as Lila squeezed the water out of her hair, Spencer pulled two towels out of the picnic basket. He handed her one as he dried off with the other.

"I love a man who comes prepared," she said, running the towel up and down her body.

"You would love me even if I wasn't prepared," giving her a little wink.

"Yes, but if you weren't prepared you wouldn't be Spencer," Lila said, giving him a smile.

Spencer laughed, loving that he had finally met someone who could one-up him. When they were finally dressed and the basket finally packed, they walked over to their horses.

"Do you think they knew what we were doing?" Lila asked as she mounted Honeydew.

"If you thought they did, would that have stopped you?"

"Not at all."

Spencer grinned, climbing onto Duke. They rode back to the stable and after making certain the horses were comfortable, they exited the building. Spencer locked it and they walked hand-in-hand into Saul and Karla's house. They walked upstairs, shed their clothes, crawled into bed and fell asleep in each other's arms.
