Happiness is not by chance, but by choice (Jim Rohn) Chapter 18: Escapade, a bodyguard fanfic

Escapade

On Thursday 7th March David is finally divorced but he doesn't tell Julia. He had made all the necessary arrangements to surprise her with a romantic weekend in Iceland. He has written a poem for her and he plans to propose in front of the Skogafoss waterfall.

They leave on Friday evening at 19h and arrive at 21h local time. They travel with Julia's 2 PPOs and David's PPO. Her PPOs team has also coordinated with the local police in Reykjavik to have patrols around the hotel & police officers in civil clothes when they will be out in public places. They eat and sleep on the plane, so they are full of energy when they touch down.

David has booked a Junior Suite at the Grand Hotel Reykjavík with a Jacuzzi bath inside the room. One of Julia's PPO will stay in an adjoining room but the door will definitely remain closed. The other 2 PPO's will be on the same floor, one in the room on the other side of the corridor and the other one in the next room.

One of the PPO is checking the room and the 2 others stay with them, just outside the door of their room.

"All clear, Ma'am"

"Thank you PS Davon. Have all a good evening"

"Good evening Ma'am, Sir" they all answer in chorus

"Good evening lads" replies David

"After this long day and this 3 hours flight, I need a bath. Care to join me?" murmurs Julia

"Only if you lay on top of me"

"Deal" answers Julia by running the bath

David enters first in the bath and settles with his back on the bottom of the bath. Julia then joins him, settling her back on his chest and their hands entwined.

"Thank you for this surprise David. Are we celebrating something?"

"Yes, we are indeed. I am a divorced man"

Julia doesn't seem surprised and answers: "How do you feel about it?"

"I am very happy about it. Vicky and I are very good friends and we are co-parenting the kids very well. We have both moved on and we are both in serious relationships. You didn't seem surprised when I said it"

"David, I am the Prime Minister. I know everything I am supposed to know. My partner living with me in Downing Street being divorced is part of it. I was wondering why you didn't tell me earlier but now I understand it was part of the surprise"

"Indeed"

Julia doesn't answer but turns her body and kisses him deeply. David pulls her towards his chest so she has to turn around completely and she is now straddling him. They kiss hard and caresses each other hungrily.

"Julia, I want to taste you" murmurs David huskily in her ear.

Julia gives him a quick peck on the lips and comes out of the tub. She grabs one of the massive towels and glances at David. All he can see in her eyes is pure lust and desire. He follows her without wasting a second.

She spread the towel on the bed and she is lying on it. He doesn't flinch and dives between her legs and starts to alternate between licking her folds and kissing & sucking her clit. Julia is moaning more and more which turns him on even more. David continues his ministration and Julia screams, almost blacking out as the waves of her orgasm are hitting her.

Whilst she is recovering from her high, David is kissing her inner thighs, her stomach slowly moving up to her breast and her neck before reaching for her mouth and kissing her passionately.

David now straddles her at the waist, his legs on either side of her, his hard sex pushing against her. Julia goes down beneath him, takes her breasts in her hands and lets his sex glides along between her 2 globes.

"God" says David, closing his eyes as she massages his sex, slowly moving back and forth a little as she pressed her breasts even closer together to enclose his aching sex. David is moaning at the sensation and she licks the tip of his cock each time he thrust forward towards her mouth.

"Julia…I am close" says David with a warning tone

"Do you want to orgasm in my mouth or in my sex?

David doesn't reply and moves down swiftly and enters her with one strong thrust. They both can't help but moan.

"Shhhh"

"Shhhh what?" says David increasing the speed and going deeper and deeper with each thrust.

Julia can't think straight at that point, she just closes her eyes and doesn't answer.

David continues to plunge into her and slides one hand between them and start to stimulate her clit by circling it and pressing it from time to time. It doesn't take long before they both reach their peak. David first for once, his jerks and the pressing on her clit making Julia to follow him soon after. They lay entwined, caressing each other, kissing softly under the duvet until they fall in a peaceful slumber.

The next morning, after a good hearty breakfast, they leave the hotel with the shuttle to the City Center.

They walk hands in hands in this typical small Scandinavian town with colorful wood houses.

They also visit the Lutheran parish church Hallgrímskirkja- one of the most iconic landmarks of Reykjavík – which can be spotted from almost anywhere in the city and which is the largest church in Iceland at 74.5m high.

They take the elevator up into the spire to admire the views, and to reach the highest platform, they climb the last 30 steps, slowly to avoid Julia to stumble with her prosthesis. The weather is decently sunny but crisp cold (1°C) but the visibility is good and the view on top is breathtaking, the sea on one side, snow-strewn mountains on the other side. They also have a peek of Harpa Reykjavik Concert Hall and Conference Centre.

They eat fish & chips for lunch in one of the small restaurants, then they go to the Blue Lagoon and geothermal hot springs, just a 30-minute drive from Reykjavík.

It was formed back in the 1970s from the excess water of a power plant, designed to drill for steam and hot water. The water is clean, natural and as it is constantly streaming into the lagoon, completely replenished every 48 hours.

The sensation to be in warm water, outside, surrounded by rocks and with view on the snowy mountains is very relaxing.

They come back to the hotel quite late and they are getting ready for their evening. David is wearing a dark blue jeans, a light blue shirt, a navy blue woolen suit jacket and a navy blue wool coat with a hand-knitted blue scarf, a gift from his mother. Julia is wearing a high-neck beige cashmere wool sweater dress with dark brown leather boots, her beige Burberry wool coat and her wool Burberry tartan scarf.

David has booked a table at the « 3 Frakkar » restaurant, famous for its whale sashimi, fermented shark and puffin.

"David, I am not going to eat puffin, these are too cute"

"OK, but you agree to taste the whale sashimi and the fermented shark?"

"I have been told recently I was a bit adventurous"

"Yes, Ma'am. You definitely are"

"OK, let's share these as starters. And for your information, the whale hunting is very reglemented here"

"I know, I have read about it on the plane"

"Why am I not surprised?"

They both laugh

"What do you want to eat as main course?"

"I will have the hashed fish with black bread "Icelandic specialty""

"Me too"

"Do you like the trip so far, love?"

"Of course I do, but you know that I like to be anywhere in the world, as long as you are with me"

"That's cheesy, Prime Minister"

Julia laughs out of loud "It is indeed. But it's true though"

David takes her hand across the table and strokes it gently, looking lovingly at her in the eyes.

The waiter comes with the starters.

"This is the whale sashimi" it looks like red tuna sashimi with more the color of beef carpaccio.

"and this is a national dish of Iceland consisting of a Greenland shark which has been cured with a particular fermentation process and hung to dry for four to five months. It has a strong ammonia-rich smell and fishy taste. Fermented shark contains a large amount of ammonia and has a strong smell, similar to many cleaning products. It is often served in frozen cubes on toothpicks. If you are first-timers, we advise to wait for the cubes to unfreeze and start to smell and pinch your nose while taking the first bite, as the smell is much stronger than the taste. Here are shots of the local spirit, a type of akvavit called brennivín, that we recommend to drink straight after your first bite. You will love it or hate it"

"Like Marmite!" they both exclaim at the same time.

They start with the whale sashimi which is delicious. Then they have a go at the fermented shark, doing as advised, together, at the same time.

"Beurk! I don't like it, like I don't like Marmite"

"It's special but I can't say I am hating it or loving it"

"Let's have another cube to be sure"

"No, thank you David. I much prefer to let some space in my stomach for a nice dessert"

David laughs: "You always have some spare space for a dessert"

"True. True. But no, you can eat it all"

"I might ask for more brennivin then"

Julia laughs.

"Looking for fortification, Sergeant Budd?"

"Always with you, Ma'am"

They enjoy the main course, much more classical delicious fish and they have both the Chocolate cake with ice cream on top.

"Do we go back to the hotel now?"

"No, we are embarking for Northern Lights hunt!"

"OK, let's go hunt"

After a 45 min drive, their guide stops the van and asks them to step out the car. They do not see anything straight away and then suddenly the sky lights up with streaks of dancing colors – green to start with, then blue and purple as well.

The forms are moving and dancing, almost like a ballet with different shapes contours. They are both looking like kids seeing the sea for the first time with excitement & pure joy in their eyes.

Suddenly, Julia points her finger to the sky: "Look David, it's a heart shape!"

David looks at the heart in the sky, then at her deep hazel eyes and out of the blue, before his mind could even register what he says, he spontaneously exclaims: "Marry me"

Julia looks at him with wide eyes and totally speechless then smiles: "Yes. Yes. Yes. Thousand times Yes, I will marry you David Budd"

"I love you, Julia. To the moon and back"

"I love you, David. To the moon and back"

He takes her in his arms, spins her around and they kiss passionately underneath the Northern Lights which magically turned pink.

"Sorry love, I don't have the ring with me"

Julia is so excited she doesn't register what he said.

They stay for one hour, watching the Northern Lights, star gazing, kissing, murmuring love words, drinking hot chocolate & eating ginger biscuits brought by their guide to keep them warm, then they go back to their hotel.

They enter the lift, followed by their PPO's. David is holding Julia by the waist, as close to him as possible.

He murmurs in her ear: "I think it's time for a little celebration"

She nods: "Oh, yes"

Their PPO's check the room but they are completely lost in each other, looking at each other so intensely that they both blush slightly.

They enter their room and their lips lock naturally, their tongues playing together, almost like ballet dancing.

David dims the light and crouches down in front of Julia. He unzips her boots slowly, removes them and caresses her calves. Julia shivers. David slowly gets up, brushes the back of her knees and starts to pull up her dress inch by inch. He caresses the back of her thighs, her ass, her lower back, both sides of her spine, her neck, then finally pulls her dress on top of her head. He removes her stockings and admires every curve of her beautiful body in her underwear, brushing her sides and her hips.

Julia blushes under his gaze and feels her heart ponding in her chest.

Julia tosses his jacket on the floor, slowly undoes the buttons of his shirt, caresses his chest, plays with his chest hair and removes his shirt. She puts both hands on his back, gently applying some pressure, starting from his lower back to his shoulders. She comes back to his front and molds his sex with one hand on top of his jeans whilst the other hand caresses his chest again. She removes his shoes, his socks and unzips his jeans. Removing it inch by inch as well, replicating his gestures but starting from the top: caressing his ass, the back of his thighs, the back of his knees and his calves.

They are both left in their underwear. David looks at her intensely and his eyes are a several shades of blue darker, full of desire.

He puts both hands on her hips, put one hands underneath her knickers and feels her wetness. He discards the ivory lace knickers in one swift move, unclasps her bra and caresses her breast tenderly.

Julia removes his boxer short then attacks his mouth greedily.

They kiss and caress each other for several minutes, both getting more and more aroused rapidly.

David pushes her gently on the bed.

"I want to taste you love"

"Me too David"

They place themselves on the bed, Julia starts to suck his cock and David groans before starting to lick her core and pressing his thumb on her clit whilst circling it.

They both moan in unison then pull out at the same time, both being on the edge of the orgasm.

David pushes Julia on her back and admire her naked body one last time before moving up and entering her very slowly, inch by inch. Julia is bucking her hips to encourage him to go quicker but he keeps the pace and deepens their kiss instead and caresses her neck. Julia suddenly bends her legs down and moves her hips up, allowing a deeper penetration and surprising David which let a deep groan escape.

"Oh my god, Julia"

"Oh yes, I feel you so well, this is so good"

"I am close, love"

"Me too"

And Julia explodes, her walls clenching around his cock, driving him over the edge at the same time.

They both lost all their senses, overwhelmed by the strength of their orgasms, barely staying conscious and screaming the other's name.

David collapses on her, breathing heavily and looking at her like she is the 8th Wonder of the World.

Julia is still shaking slightly in his arms, her eyes are closed and she breathes heavily as well.

"My god David, please, promise me that marriage is not going to change our sex life"

"I promise you, Julia. I love you"

"I love you too"

She smiles and opens her eyes, smiling at him the way she reserves only for him.

David moves on her side, pulls her against his chest and pulls the duvet on top of them. They fall asleep happy, sexually satiated and content.

On the Sunday, after a breakfast in bed and a quick shower, they leave the hotel to visit Skogafoss waterfall. There is a 2h drive from Reykjavik with beautiful scenery all along the way.

David is reading a tourist folder to Julia: "Skógafoss is one of the biggest waterfalls in Iceland, with a width of 25 metres (82 feet) and a drop of 60 m (200 ft). Due to the amount of spray the waterfall consistently produces, a single or double rainbow, normally visible on sunny days"

"Sounds great, I can't wait"

David managed to evacuate the site for one hour, using the "excuse" of security reasons. They arrive there and are amazed by the beauty of the site.

They take lots of pictures and then suddenly Julia noticed a big heart on the ground, made of stones, and inside a text made of smaller stones saying "Julia, will you marry me? ", she turns to David and he is on one knee with a simple & fine solitaire ring in a box and he starts to declaims a poem he has written himself:

"You take me fully as I am

I wouldn't change a thing in you

We have found our balance
