~ Nicci:  In her own bedroom, settling in 5:45 to 8:00pm<br/><br/>As soon as she was alone Nicci went to the window and opening the casement she leaned out looking at those glorious mountains.  They seem to draw her, their grandiose almost dark beauty speaking straight to her heart. She imagined how intoxicating it would feel to get to the top and stand surveying the island below her.  She had been to many beautiful places in the world for photo shoots and filming but this island with it's combination of sea, land and sky spoke to her in a way no other landscape had before.<br/><br/>She had been pleasantly surprised how luxurious and warm the castle was, having endured shoots in old drafty buildings many times, when she had first seen the castle she had thought it would be drafty and cold.  She had been so relived that the inside it was a like a five star hotel, the idea of spending six months in a old drafty pile had not exactly been appealing.<br/><br/>Miss Taylor had been her usual calm efficient self,  Nicci had been relieved that she was met by someone she knew, and been able to see everything for the first time on her own, asking her few questions without an audience.  Straightening up and closing the window she turned to look at her room.  She wasn't that keen on the floral fabrics but she loved the chunky four poster bed, and the room seemed both spacious but also homely.  So this was going to be her home for six months, to have her own space was wonderful, she imagined there would be times that she would definitely need to get away from it all.<br/><br/>She had two hours to kill, and was surprised how relaxed she felt, there was little gentling bubbling of excitement in the pit of her stomach and a few fears lurking in there too, but something about the place seemed to calm her and she smiled, knowing just how quickly her moods could change, it might be a very different story at eight o'clock though.<br/><br/>She walked through to the dressing room, moving a few things around, she noticed all her clothes were neatly pressed and showed no signs of their being couriered here a few days before.  She unpacked  the  personal things she had brought with her, already thinking of a few more she wished she had thought to bring and making a mental note to see if she was allowed to buys some things just for herself whilst she was here.<br/><br/>Taking off her boots, jeans and tops, setting them neatly aside she walked through to the en-suite and started drawing a bath, dropping in one of her favourite La Source relaxing bath tablets and breathing in the crisp, clean scent so reminiscent of fresh sea air.  It seemed to suit perfectly the wonderful island she had found herself on, she thought, swishing the water around with her fingers to dissolve it.<br/><br/>She padded through to her room and took out her paperback, one of her guilty pleasures that not many people knew about and realised she was going to miss her regular installments of erotic romance, the library had lots of books, but she was sure it didn't have any like these, she thought laughing to herself.<br/><br/>She enjoyed a long bath, reading her book and lazily masturbating in the warm water as was her habit.  She spent a little time moisturising with more La Source and doing her nails and hair as this was a special evening she put on a little makeup and spritzed herself with her favourite Givenchy Play Intense perfume. With just a few minutes to go she slipped on a  dark blue silk cocktail dress (http://i830.photobucket.com/albums/zz222/DiverseDesires/cdress.jpg) and the matching set costume jewelery set of sparking earrings, necklace and bangles.<br/><br/>Sitting down to slip on and do up her  Christian Louboutin sandals, (http://i830.photobucket.com/albums/zz222/DiverseDesires/christianLouboutinDiamantesandals.jpg) which went so well with the jewelery, it might be quite while before she wore anything so decadent again, she thought to herself, as it looked as though most of the time she would be wearing far more practical shoes than these very naughtily expensive fripperies.<br/><br/>She went to the door, the butterflies in her stomach as noticeable as her first body double shoot, but she squared her shoulders and held her head high as she opened it and walked out into the corridor.  She had come a long way, from the tiny little council flat with her mother in the East End to the successful woman she was now, and she had a unique chance to find out it her dreams could become a reality and hopefully enjoy making new friends and lovers that might be part of her life for some time to come.
