Jessica stared out the window of the private jet as it flew over the island of St Lucia. She still could not imagine who had requested her and why all the secrecy. The only information that her boss had disclosed was that she would be working in St Lucia for two weeks with a new client developing a website for a new resort.
The plane touched down on the tiny airport runway. The view was spectacular, lush green tropics and white sand beaches with the most beautiful water Jessica had ever seen. The pilot emerged from the cockpit to open the door.
"Miss Sanders, I hope you enjoyed your flight. Marcus, your driver, is waiting for you at the bottom of the stairs. I will get your bags and load them into the car for you."
"Thank you, David, everything was wonderful!"
Jessica exited the plane to find herself standing next to a grey limousine. Marcus opened the door and she climbed in, as if she was accustomed to this kind of treatment. Truth was she had never dreamed that something like this would ever happen to her. Inside the limo was a bottle of champagne and chocolate covered strawberries.
Marcus leaned his head in the door, "JP is sorry that he could not meet you this evening. He is wrapping up some business, so he will be available tomorrow to show you around and explain why you are here." Marcus opened the champagne and poured her a glass, as he gave her a brief history of the island. "Miss Sanders, we have a half hour drive to the resort, if you are ready..."
"Marcus, please call me Jessica. What is the name of the resort?"
"Fantasy Falls, named for the thirteen waterfalls on the grounds."
Jessica sipped the champagne as she took in the beautiful landscape. Her mind tried to imagine the resort and the waterfalls. Her face flushed as she thought of the waterfalls. Jessica had a fantasy of experiencing a sexual encounter behind a waterfall. An image of a tall waterfall entered her mind; she closed her eyes and pictured herself there. She could almost feel his hands on her hips; feel his breath on the back of her neck as he whispered the ways he wanted to pleasure her. Jessica did not know the identity of the man in her dreams, she felt as if she knew him, but never saw his face.
Jessica's eyes flashed open as the front tire plunged into a hole in the narrow road. Champaign splashed out of her glass all over the front of her white satin blouse.
"Damn!" the expletive shot out of her mouth.
Marcus quickly rolled down the window that separated them. "Sorry, Miss Sanders, are you okay?"
" I am fine, Marcus, just putting on a one girl wet see-thru shirt contest back here," Jessica chuckled.
"I do apologize; I did not see the hole before it was too late. I will check the tire and get out your bags if you would like to change."
"The carry-on bag would be great, Marcus, this is kind of awkward."
Marcus stepped out of the car. One look at the tire told him, his boss was not going to be happy. He opened the trunk and retrieved the small navy blue carry-on bag. Marcus tapped on the window and Jessica rolled it down.
"Miss Sanders, Jessica, there seems to be major damage to the tire's rim. I will have to call someone from the resort to come get you and then wait for a tow for this car. I have your bag, so you can change out of your wet blouse, and again, I apologize."
Jessica changed into a pink v neck tee that she had packed in her bag; she figured it was the best thing in her bag to match the black skirt that she was wearing. Stepping out of the limo, she caught the last of Marcus' conversation. The call must not have gone well, by the look on his face.
"How far out are we, Marcus?"
"Only about ten minutes from the resort, "he sighed.
"Everything okay?"
"JP was pretty upset, and you might want to change out of that skirt"
"Why is that?"
"The remainder of the ride will be on the back of a moped," Marcus shrugged his shoulders. JP gave him strict instructions not to reveal any more information to her.
"Just great, I despise those things!"
"Sorry, JP told me to tell you that this is not how he planned your arrival and he will make it up to you."
"It's not your fault, Marcus, you have been very kind. I guess I will change into the shorts that I packed in my emergency bag too," she chuckled. She figured she still had it better than he did; at least she would be at the resort while he waited for a tow.
Dusk was approaching quickly. She could hear the hum of the moped as it approached. The driver was male, wearing tan shorts and a white shirt. He pulled up beside her, handed her a helmet and said, "Get on."
