Apollyon's Secret at Midnight Chapter 24
“Looks like your future bride is coming this way. Good luck, man.”“You’re such an ass. She’s not my bride,” He grumbled as he pulled his hoodie over his head.Walking down the beach to meet her, Hunter watched as Ava walked alongside the waterline, never allowing the waves to touch her feet. The look in her eyes as she looked at the water, showed she wanted to feel it cascade over her, but fear consumed her. He knew that feeling all too well himself, on a different level, but fear was fear. All-consuming and life-altering.Waving at him, she ran over, asking, “Where’d you go? I woke up, and you were gone.”“I went to grab us some breakfast at the main clubhouse. I was just heading back. I got us some donuts and juice. Then I took a short stop here to watch the sunrise and got distracted.”Looking over the water, Ava smiled. “It’s beautiful.”“It is. I miss being in the sun. Let’s head back to the bungalow and eat before I get burned. I forgot to put on my sunscreen.”Quietly, they ma

“Hunter, are you okay?”“I’ve thought that for a long time. What if she lied all these years? I believed her because I didn’t have any other choice and people think I’m a fucking vampire,” he said in a shaky, angry voice. “I’ve been on the island for three days and I’ve been fine. What if...?”Ripping off his jacket, Hunter ran into the water, allowing the sun to beat upon his pale flesh. Pulling the bandana from his neck that he used to block himself from the sun, and gloves from his hands, he pitched them onto the beach.Ava watched with tears as he let his head fall back with arms outstretched, almost as if praying.Wading deeper into the water, wearing only his jeans, he looked completely broken. She had never seen someone so damaged by their past. Her own struggles with her mother didn’t seem near as bad now. Despite being very critical, her mother loved her and would never hurt her. One thing was certain, Hunter needed healing, and maybe she could be the one to mend his broken h
Apollyon's Secret at Midnight Chapter 26
The night after Hunter’s day in the sun, he asked her to dinner that night. Everything that day had been so relaxing and peaceful. He smiled more, felt more, was more. Taking things slowly, they were careful to make sure to keep him from burning. Ava, being so fair-skinned, was accustomed to how to keep sunburns at bay. It was almost a bonding moment for them as she rubbed sunscreen on his body, combined with the affection that they showed each other throughout the day.While Ava sat in her bungalow brushing her hair, a knock came from the open patio doors. Smiling back at her was Rebecca, with a kind wave.Guiding her in, Ava stood to greet her. “Rebecca, nice to see you.”“I wanted to come to say I’m sorry I was so harsh with you before. I’m very protective of Master Hunter. He’s a good friend.”“I hear you have very specific things in common,” she said, raising a playful brow.“He told you I’m a Dominatrix?”“He did. I already figured it out, though. You sort of command a room with

After a nice dinner in one of the more luxurious restaurants on the island. They headed to the shops. Being the richest man on the island had its perks and it seemed everywhere they went the staff was at his beckoned call. Even when they entered the shopping area. As they entered the most luxurious stores in the place, Hunter just waved his hand to the boutique's staff, and they quickly rushed to help.“Let her get whatever she likes. My treat. I want her to have the best and money is no object.”“Yes, Mr. Constnatine. I think we have just the thing,” chirped the eager saleswoman“What? Are you crazy? No way, Hunter,” Ava protested, shaking her head. “Out of the question. I’ve been in this store before. I came here the day I was taking photos. It’s too expensive and I can't let you spend that much on me.”Turning her to face him, he looked her in the eyes, letting her know he meant business. “Little fox, when your Master wants to treat you with gifts, you let him. It’s one thing you n
Apollyon's Secret at Midnight Chapter 28
Before heading to the party, Hunter took Ava back to his bungalow, hiding a package he had bought.“What are you up to and what’s in the bag?”“Are you open to being fully submissive tonight?” he asked with a playful grin, almost bouncing in place.Looking him over, she knew he was excited about something. “Maybe... Depends on what you have in mind.”Handing her the bag, he said, “Open it.”Taking it from his hands, the bag rustled as she pulled out what was inside. Her eyes went wide when she was what was inside. “What the... A fox girl outfit? Hunter, is that what I think it is?”Grabbing the fuzzy tail, he shook it around, like a kid with a new toy. “It’s a red fox tail for my little fox.”“No, it’s a butt plug.”Nodding, he almost giggled like a schoolgirl. “Yep, with matching ears and an outfit.”“A submissive outfit, I suppose. It’s pretty tail but...”“But what?”“How do I wear that around?”“I’ll help you. You just hold it in. If it’s too uncomfortable, we can remove it.”Look
Apollyon's Secret at Midnight Chapter 29
Normally he would enjoy watching Onyx and her sub with his sub but watching anyone touch Aval wasn’t his idea of fun. Ava was his girl, and he didn’t like the way things were going.Leaning up to place his elbows on his knees, Hunter’s eyes narrowed as he rolled up his black sleeves to the elbows, exposing his thick forearms and revealing his tattoos. Wringing his hands, he watched as the women continued to touch and tease Ava, his eyes fixed on her.When her eyes returned his glace, they froze, panting and only thinking of having him inside her.“Hunter...” she pleaded as the two women went between her legs.As soon as Hunter noticed Onyx pull a large phallic strap on from the zipper of her dress slacks, he stood. He told her no penetration, especially with that strap-on. Even if it was a woman, he didn’t want anyone to breach Ava’s sex but him.The look in Ava’s eyes was saying to him she only wanted him to, and she was doing this because she thought it was what he wanted. When Ava’

The week had seemed to go smoothly after the morning Hunter and Ava faced their fears. The night after, the club situation with Onyx only brought them closer. Despite Ava begging for him to collar her, Hunter didn’t think being on this island was a place to make those sorts of rash decisions.After that night, they spent every moment together exploring her sexual curiosities and his need for intimacy, but the collar issues were off-limits. According to Rebecca, it was as big as a wedding ring to some BDSM Masters, and it was no different for him. The fun they had been having made the week seem to fly by, and those topics would just have to take a back burner until they knew each other better. Unfortunately, they only had two days left on the island and time was slowly coming to a halt with the budding romance.It was mid-afternoon as Hunter sat pouting in the island infirmary, scared that maybe he had made the wrong choice to spend the entire day before in the sun. Although the hike t

As the helicopter approached, Ava rushed into Hunter’s arms. “I’m going to miss you.”“You too, little fox. It’s not the end. We’ll see each other soon.”Standing behind them stood Rowan with Rebecca. The woman wiped a tear away as she watched the couple say their goodbyes. Of all the guests on the island, Ava had become her favorite.“Mr. Halifax, what will happen to them?” she asked.Standing with his hands laced behind his back, he glared at Hunter, ignoring Rebecca’s question. “Have Ava set up to go to the funeral but keep it quiet until time for her to leave. I want her to stay a couple of extra days to get some images of the next round of guests.”“Yes, sir. But what about the couple? I thought they were your special project.”“Oh, they are.”“But sir, why haven’t you told me what you have planned?”Narrowing his brows, he growled, “Dominatrix or not, Rebecca, don’t question me. I know what I’m doing. They’ll be my finest work yet.”“Sorry, sir, you’re right,” she said bowing he

As they made their way to the top of the cliff that overlooked the resort, Ava clung to HUnter as he tried to console her.“I’m sorry, Ava. I love you so much. I was just under so much pressure. When I saw you with her, I just freaked out.”“It’s okay, Master. I love you, too.”As Evaline joined the group she rolled her eyes at the couple. “You have got to be kidding me. isn’t this bitch dead yet?”Stepping to the woman he thought was his stepmother, he was ready to stand his ground. “You can do whatever you want to me. But I won’t let you kill her. I’ll stop you.”“Look around, Hunter,” she said with a laugh, “You don’t really have the upper hand here. Rowan and I are taking over Apollyon and there is not a damn thing you can do about it.”“Where are Onyx and Tessa? You better not have hurt them.”A slow smirk curled on Evaline’s lips. “Oh, you mean those sluts? Atlas and those whores escaped into the caves. We have our men searching for them. It will be a pity when they are found in

“You never learned restraint,” Rebecca said with a scowl.“Restraint? She’s cheating on me!”“I am not. How could you say that.”“Ava, you’re naked. How can you explain this.”Hearing enough Onyx walked over and smacked him in the back of the head, soon followed by Rebecca who gave him a shove, knocking him flat on his ass.Shocked, he looked over at Ava on the floor next to him who looked completely heartbroken. “What was that for?”“Look at her Hunter,” Onyx yelled. “She’s scared to death. I don’t know what the fuck happened here, but I didn’t fuck your girl. Where’s Tessa?”Rebecca stopped her from hitting him again, as she handed him the iPad. “You and Onyx need to watch the video. Tessa is with Atlas, and she’s safe. She told me everything when I came in.”Watching the video, Hunter saw the security video of Ava and Tessa laughing at the bar, behind them a man whom he knew too well slip up to the bar beside them, slipping something in Ava’s drink. His own board member that had be

Ava was pacing the floor while Hunter, Atlas, and Rebecca sat with the man with the burn-scarred face and watched her. Hunter was resting on the sofa and his submissive wasn’t very submissive at the moment.“I can’t believe you idiots didn’t tell me you knew this guy. And you!” she scowled pointing at the man. You scared the shit out of me that day on the beach. And come to find out your Hunter’s uncle!”“I’m sorry little red. I didn’t mean to frighten you. I couldn’t let you know who I was. Hunter and Rebecca hid me out here after my sisters' husband came up missing. Damion was my best friend and if they knew I was his silent partner, they would have had me killed too.”“And Atlas, I thought you were here to help. You’ve been drinking margaritas and cliff diving.”“Hey, I’m just here for moral support. This is all about fuck boy over here. I’m a reporter. If anything goes down. I’ll blow this thing wide open and bring the hag and her island boy toy to their knees.”Rebecca agreed. “A

Rushing into the bungalow, Ava and Rebecca were frantic, yet Hunter wasn’t in bed and nowhere in sight. “Hunter? Are you here? Rebecca, where is he?” Looking around the tiny island home, Rebecca ran to the restroom where she heard the water running and a pool flooding out from the doorway. What she was when she got there was a shock to the system and she rushed to her friend's side. “Ava! Come quick! Call the island medics!” In a pool of water that rushed from the tub, Hunter was lying face down on the floor, soaking wet and lethargic. “Hunter, wake up! Hunter!” When Ava reached the room, her hands flew over her face, trying to not let the scream escape her lips. “Master! Oh, God, no! Is he breathing?” “Barley,” Rebecca said as she scooped him up in her arms, taking him to the bedroom. “Help me get these clothes off him. I’ll call for help.” Hurrying to get his wet clothing free of his body, Ava was sobbing once her shirt was free. Resting her head on his chest, she was shaking

After Ava and Rebecca had uncovered what was going on, and the plot to kill Hunter, they were sure that Rowan and Evaline were out to take over the Constantine fortune and the Apollyon Corporation. Once Rebecca had lured Rowan away from Hunter, Ava made the call for him to meet her for lunch in a public restaurant on the island so there would be plenty of eyes on them. They couldn’t take the chance of being alone for a second.When reaching the restaurant, her master was already there with two place settings before him with food he knew she liked.As he sipped from his cool iced tea, she approached looking over the delicious island foods.“Hey babe, I ordered for us. I’m starving. The chef sent out this appetizer.”I’m sorry to say I already devoured it.”“Oh, it’s fine. You eat,” she said as he pulled a chair out for her. “Hunter we need to talk.”“Yeah, we do. Rowan found out about the project from some of my investors. I guess he’s wanting in on the deal.”Ava scoffed as she grabbe

When they returned to the island, Ava was across from Hunter in the bungalow with her head resting on her arms on the desk in the corner. He had been sulking for a while over the fact his project was going to be a bust. He needed to find out if the government was actually looking to take the idea, or if Evaline was lying. He assumed the latter but wasn’t willing to take the risk that for once she was telling the truth. Nothing was adding up and the stress was getting to him.“Master, is there anything I can do?”“No. I just need time to think this through. Why don’t you go find Rebecca and take security with you? I know you have to be hungry. Grab a massage while you’re at it.”“But–”“No, but’s. You’re still hurt and I want you to get some rest. Master’s orders.”With a huff, she grabbed her camera. “Fine. I’m going to take some photos of the windsurfers. I’ll bring you some lunch back.”Before she left, she kissed his forehead and headed to the door. Just as she was about to exit, a

Hunter and Ava made love throughout the night, taking care of her injured state. Sometime in the night, they ended up in the master bedroom, falling asleep in each other's arms and discussing dreams of a future together. Maybe it was too soon to consider marriage, but Hunter was never one to drag his feet. He knew what he wanted and he went for it. Lucky for him, Ava wanted a relationship, too.The next morning he was humming a tune in the kitchen as he made them breakfast in bed while Ava rested. Whistling on his way back into the bedroom with their breakfast, he quickly stopped in his tracks when he found her crying with a phone in hand on the edge of the bed.“Baby, what’s wrong?”Handing over the phone, Ava was sucking back tears as she held her ribs. “They’re not going to stop.”When he read the threats on her life, he had enough. Setting the food try on the nightstand, he went to his overnight bag and pulled on his clothes.“Stay here.”“No, please. I can’t be here alone. I’ll g
Apollyon's Secret at Midnight Chapter 48
When Hunter was able to take Ava back to the house, she found he had already fixed the broken door and installed security around the house. Tucking her into bed, he sat next to her taking her hand.“Are you sure you’re okay here?”Giving a nod she pulled him to cuddle next to her. “As long as you’re here with me.”“I’m not going anywhere. I already sent a text to Evaline and told her I wasn’t coming home. She never even responded, so I know damn well she is behind this. She never ignores a text or call.”“Something else is bothering you, isn’t it?”Taking a slow breath he thought back to the night he thought she left. “Ava, did Evaline offer you a bribe to leave town? I never mentioned it before, but I need to know.”Looking away, tears welled in her eyes. “Yes,” she said sheepishly. “I didn’t take it, Master. I swear. I’d never betray you like that.”“Baby, you don't have to call me that all the time when we’re alone. You mean more than me than just sex. I knew you’d never take that

“Lights out, bitch!”Turning toward the voice, Ava ducked, avoiding a blow to the head by a metal bar, just inches from her head. “Ah! Get away! Hunter! Help me!”“You’re boy toy can’t help you now.”Taking another swing, the man made contact with Ava’s ribs, making her tumble to the floor. As blow after blow came, she pleaded for help, wishing Hunter would be there to protect her. At that moment, she wondered if he was there at all. Was he the one in the room? Was he alive?When a boot came hard to her side, she was sure the man had broken a rib. Rolling to the side, his next kick sent him off balance, allowing Ava to scurry free, taking off into the dungeon room on her knees. Slamming the door behind her, she locked it, hearing the man trying to bust through the door from the other side. Unfortunately for her, a dungeon room had no windows, and nowhere to go. Her cell phone had fallen from her hand in the scuffle and she was trapped.Looking around the room, she struggled to get aro
