It was once
the home The Clerembeax’s, who arrived in Downshire following the Norman
conquests and stayed for a thousand years before the name died out following
the death of the reclusive Marcus Clerembeax at the age of 96.
The current
owner was Yvonne Labuschagne, who decided to open it as a Hotel and Spa.
The Spa was a
good attraction, but it was crucial for them to maintain a high occupancy rate,
however things were tough in the Hotel trade with the success of Travelodge,
Premier Inn and Holiday Inn Express and so places like the Palace needed to
offer something extra to attract the guests, apart from the Spa.
So, they put
on novelty weekends, such as “Murder Mysteries” and in addition, they had a
sizable Ballroom which was used for special occasions, high days and holidays,
which boosted occupancy and Spa numbers at the same time.
Not that the Spa needed too much help during the
summer months as the sun terrace the sheltered gardens offered an extra element
to the sun worshipers.
Clive
Armstrong was standing on the sun terrace at the precise moment a beautiful
brunette stepped through the door wearing a full-length silk robe and as soon
as she reached a chaise longue the exotically coloured folds of silk that had
prior to that moment cloaked her skinny frame dropped to the floor leaving her
wearing only a yellow bikini, sandals and a small gold crucifix around her
neck.
He stared
open mouthed at the yellow of her swim suit and marvelled as it showed in stark
contrast with her well-tanned olive skin.
Lillian Day
then lay face down on the chaise and reached around and undid her top, which
was when Clive stepped forward and said
“Would you
like me to put some sun cream on?”
“Oh yes
please” she replied “Just on my back, I’ve done everywhere else”
He knelt on
the terrace next to the chaise and perused her tanned body, as she lay with her
head turned to one side and was facing away from him.
“This might
be a little cool” he warned
“Ok” she
answered dreamily, and he squirted some cream on her back and began to gently
rub in the lotion.
“How does
that feel?” he asked
“Lovely” she
replied, and he rubbed some more until he said
“I need to
move your bikini aside, so I can properly apply the lotion”
“Ok” she said,
and he pulled it softy away from her skin and then slowly rubbed in the surplus
lotion until it was all worked in to her tanned flesh like a long relaxing
massage before he squirted some more onto her, only this time instead of the
middle of her back he deposited it on her shoulder blade, so it would run down
her side.
“Oops” he
said
“Don’t even
think of going after that” she said firmly
“Why ever
not?” he asked innocently
“Don’t think
you can take liberties just because we’re engaged”
“It’s as
good a reason as any” he retorted and then followed the path of the lotion with
his finger and she giggled.
