Is this destiny?

~ Switzerland, the Grindelwald villa ~

In the master bedroom…

"Ahhh!", Sarah screamed while her body twitched in ecstasy.

"Ugh!", Aiden grunted in his release, trailing only few seconds behind her.

When he caught his breath, Aiden slid off from Sarah, grabbed a wet towel from the warmer on the side of the bed and wiped her midsection (and his) before pulling her into a hug.

"Mmm… Happy birthday.", Aiden murmured and kissed her shoulder.

Sarah took a deep breath and kissed the hollow of his neck. "It is a happy one. Thanks to you."

He grinned smugly.

Two seconds later, Aiden frowned when he saw that Sarah closed her eyes and that she is snuggling next to him. Is she going to sleep off?

"My Goddess…", Aiden called while nudging Sarah\'s cheek with his nose.

"Hmm?"

"Don\'t sleep off yet."

"Hmm…", she hummed in protest. "I need a bit rest. Last few hours are amazing, but I need at least a nap. A little one…" Sarah yawned, proving her point.

"But it\'s almost time for your next present."

"Later.", Sarah pouted without opening her eyes.

"It is time sensitive."

Sarah frowned in disapproval before sighing and opening her eyes with difficulty. "How much is that \'almost time\'?"

Aiden glanced toward the window and observed that black sky is gradually shifting into dark blue.

"I think this is good."

Sarah smiled, happy that she does not need to wait long. She loves indulging in carnal pleasures with Aiden, but the whole day was busy, and they are going at it for hours and she really needs rest. At least a little bit.

Sarah glanced through the window and wondered, what is the next present? Sunrise? The sky outside is still dark. Oh, well… she will find out soon.

Sarah stood naked next to the bed with Aiden behind her, while he draped a blanket around them before ushering her out of the room.

They were few steps into the hallway when he spoke in her ear. "Close your eyes."

Sarah exhaled in protest and closed her eyes. She does not like it, but she has no energy to argue.

She allowed him to guide her through the villa, and she didn\'t even try to peek and see where they are going. As long as there is no sudden gust of cold air (which means that they are outside), she is fine.

Sarah inhaled sharply, and her movements halted when she stepped on the icy-cold smooth surface. That is not hardwood! And it is even smoother than the ceramic tiles. She wondered what it could be. Marble? 

"It\'s OK.", Aiden murmured close to her ear. "Only few more steps."

Sarah could hear from his voice that he is excited. 

He positioned her to turn toward a specific direction and took a deep breath. "OK. You can look now."

Sarah held her breath at the sight through the full glass wall in front of her.

The sky in front of her is turning from dark blue to a brighter one, as the sun is rising behind them. The window is facing West. With every passing moment, outline of the snowy peaks are clearer. 

Her head turned to take in her surrounding, only to see that she is standing on the glass surface and the side walls are fully made out of glass as well. This is like a five-foot extension of the sitting room, completely walled in with glass in order to provide magnificent views. 

It is still dark outside, but she can see that the extension is dangling in the air above something. It\'s almost like this side of the villa is on the edge of a cliff. 

Looking back up, she confirmed that the outlines of the snowy peaks are clearly visible and breathtaking. But anything other than that is blanketed in darkness.

"Any minute now…", Aiden murmured, as if he can read her mind.

She leaned into his embrace and relaxed.

It didn\'t take long, but the transition from night to dawn was so smooth that Sarah missed it. 

Sarah straightened her back and took a step forward, getting out of the warmth of the blanket-cocoon, in order to rest her palms on the glass wall while observing the view which appeared in front of her with first daylight: between them and the snowy peaks is a valley, but she can\'t see the bottom because it is covered with a river of clouds. It definitely looks like a river because the clouds moved and swayed like smooth waves while traveling to their secret destination.

"It\'s beautiful…", Sarah said under her breath.

"It is…", Aiden responded in an almost-signing voice.

Sarah turned toward Aiden and saw that he is looking at her naked body lecherously. Ah! She forgot that she is nude!

Aiden saw her half-bashful, half-upset expression and chuckled while walking toward her and embracing her with a blanket in his arms. "Happy birthday, love, at the top of the world."

Sarah remembered that previous morning in Interlaken he said that he will take her to the top of the world for her birthday. And her standing here with clouds below her, it definitely looks like the top of the world. 

She smiled and her gaze full of awe was directed at the magnificent sight in front of them. "Thank you. I never saw anything like this. I could look at this every day."

Aiden smiled and rested his head on her shoulder. "You can, if you want."

Sarah stifled a laugh. She understood where this is going. "There is no need to buy the villa just because I like the view."

Aiden agreed. "True. But how about I get you this villa because other than the magnificent views, we can come here for skiing in the winter and for hiking in summer and because it has space for all our kids?"

Sarah paused. She cleared her throat before calling: "Eve?"

"Yes, Sarah?", Eve\'s voice sounded in the room.

Sarah inhaled sharply when Eve\'s presence confirmed her suspicion. She turned to face Aiden. "You bought the villa?"

Aiden grinned. "Happy birthday."

"When did you…? How come…? Uhm…" Sarah was unable to finish any question, and she had so many of them.

"I must admit that it was a challenge to get all this without you knowing, but we pulled it off.", Aiden said smugly. 

Sarah thought about it. Even if he just flew from Los Angeles to here and back, considering the time to refuel, it would take him almost a day. And he never left her side for more than few hours. "Did you come here before you bought it?"

"I delegated.", Aiden responded. "Haru and Nala came here twice, Michael and Oni once… Jeff checked the site and coordinated with construction crews. Felix was here to set up Eve after the construction was done. Steve, Charlie and Jasper helped as well."

Sarah nodded in understanding. No wonder everything looks like new. It IS new! She didn\'t know what else to say except: "I hope you give me a list of everyone who helped. I want to give them something as a thank you. This is amazing."

"Don\'t worry about it. All of them already got permission to come and stay here whenever they want, if we are not using it.", Aiden responded.

Sarah nodded in agreement. That is a nice compensation. "I would still like to say my thanks."

"OK. I will give you the list when we go back home.", Aiden agreed.

Sarah remembered one more thing… "Who will clean up the kitchen?"

Aiden burst into laugh. Out of so many things she is concerned about the cleanup. Well, that is his Sarah. She never liked to clean the mess.

"Cleanup is covered. This place is staffed. But right now, they are away, considering that it\'s our first night as a married couple.", Aiden winked. 

Aiden looked at the view behind Sarah and urged her to turn that way. "It\'s almost time… watch carefully…"
