Chapter 4
The villa in Bali was beautiful. The resort, Barung Barung, was filled with butterflies. The creatures seemed to form their own greeting committee.
They could be seen floating about the open-air lobby and all around the grounds.
Angel and Darius were taken by golf cart down to the base of the mountain and their private villa. It had a gorgeous pool overlooking the other side of the ravine. It looked like a Balinese painting. He now understood why the art of Bali seemed flat. The perspective of the steep gulches caused the trees to flatten right out.
The villa was lovely. Ornately carved doors opened into a covered outdoor room, which hosted a big day bed piled with vividly colored pillows that looked out onto the mountain. It was a private shaped patio, which was cooled by a fan above the overstuffed daybed.
The bellman pointed out the view. "It's quite lovely as the sun rises over the hill. We recommend you have breakfast here." Walking across the room he came to another large intricately carved door. He opened it and ushered them into the living room where a bar, sofas and a flat screen graced the wall. Through a swinging door was a tiny well equipped kitchen. "The kitchen and bar are stocked with the items you requested, Mr. Luv."
Downstairs were two giant master bedrooms and an open-air
bathroom. The bathroom was covered but otherwise completely outside. The giant soaking tub and shower were hidden in Balinese Palms and flowering vines. Even the toilet stall was outside.
Angel quietly teased, "Looks big enough for two." Dare didn't respond but couldn't help but think he was correct.
The place was quiet with a tranquil Zen-like feel to it.
After the bellman left them, they quickly unpacked. Bless Tommy, his stuff was packed on hangers so he just hung them up and threw the underwear in the drawer. He tossed his toiletries case in the bathroom.
They agreed to meet at the pool when they were done. Their rooms were connected by a small sitting room with a dining table. The French doors led out onto the patio and the private blue and gold tiled sparkling pool. Shaded overstuffed lounge chairs and tables surrounded the water.
Palm trees swayed in the breeze. The pool area was so lovely it just called to you.
He changed into his trunks and jumped in. When Darius surfaced Angel walked over to the edge to dip his foot in. "How is it?"
"Refreshing!"
"That means cold, huh?" Angel frowned.
He laughed at the look of disgust Angel made. "Dare!" Angel shouted as Darius splashed him with a little water. Angel jumped back as if he were allergic to water.
"How about we swim in one of the tubs?"
Dare was totally confused, so he asked, "What?"
"In the outside bathroom. Yours has a huge tub, right?" After his nod, the singer continued, "Then let's swim in that until they fix the heat in the pool."
Why did Angel's casual suggestion make his stomach flutter? He didn't understand, or maybe he just didn't want to understand. Getting out of the pool, Dare felt brown eyes on him looking him up and down. The slow perusal of his body quickened his heart and shortened his breath. Angel gave him one of his sexy crooked smiles and handed him a big blue fluffy towel.
Angel watched as Darius wrapped a towel around his waist and then turned towards his own room, leaving Angel to follow.
He started the tub while Angel called maintenance requesting they repair the heater. Angel thanked the hotel staff and replaced the phone. He looked over at him and told him, "The maintenance staff will go through the side gate so we don't have to wait for them."
Darius ran his fingers through the long side of his blond hair trying not to feel like prey. His flight or fight response was kicking in. It was stupid, but as Angel walked across the room he felt like he was being stalked.
Angel bumped into him with a hip. "Come on, Dare. Our bath
