Apollyon's Secret at Midnight Chapter 30
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

A couple of days prior...“Hurry up, Hunter. I think we are getting close. There’s an island logo on that tree,” Ava said excitedly.“Seriously, red. I hate hiking. How did I let you talk me into this? If I get a sunburn, I’m going to take you back to Heat and let Mistress Roux have a hand at you with that whip.”“Oh, don’t be such a stick in the mud. You said you wanted to do something fun today. There have been so many cool things on the west side of the island; the butterfly gardens, the little tiki bistro, and Club Steam that’s tucked away in that cave. They had the best Mahi Mahi I’ve ever eaten.”“That’s true. The chefs here are the best.”“Oh, and don’t forget that little grotto pool by the beach side with the dancing mermaids. That must take a lot of practice to hold their breath underwater that long.”“That one mermaid was checking me out. I think my little red fox got jealous.”“She was flirting like I wasn’t even there. It was rude. Anyway, it’s your first full day in the s

As she watched the waves crash on the beach, Ava was glad this would be her last day on the island. It hadn’t been the same since Hunter left, and all she could do was think about how he must be feeling after the news of his father.As the warm breeze blew across her sun-kissed face, she took a slow deep breath, enjoying her last minutes in paradise.“Beautiful day isn’t it,” said a man sitting new to her in a beach recliner.“Ah... yeah.”Feeling his eyes watching her, Ava’s eyes veered over him, trying to figure this guy out.“So, I saw you with that rich bachelor this week. What’s his name again?”“Hunter Constantine.”“Oh, yeah. That’s it,” he said with a coy smile.Narrowing her brows, suspicion was rising. She hadn’t seen this man all week, yet he claimed to have seen her. Almost everyone in the world knows who Hunter was. If this man was trying to play off that he didn’t know the man, he was lying. Even though there were not many photos of Hunter online, there was still enough

“All right, tell me everything. Starting with this island clock," instructed Ava. "Well, it's easy. The center of the island is marked with the Constantine family crest. It was a surprise I set up for him because he and I spread his mother's ashes here when we broke ground for the resort. It was just the two of us here and he finally had closure.” Taking a moment to gain her composure, she continued, “Anyway, every thirty minutes, the security cameras turn on. They broadcast video that goes to a computer that I monitor from my office. Only a team of our fantasy coordinators is allowed access. Not even Rowen is allowed to see the camera footage. Hell, I’m not even sure he knows how it works, or even cares, so long as he gets to be the center of attention with the guests." "And what do you get to monitor? People making out?" asked Ava with a giggle. "Of course. Just so you know. I had nothing to do with that wardrobe of fetish wear Hunter gave you. That was all him. I just knew you ha
Apollyon's Secret at Midnight Chapter 35
On her last day on the island, Ava would soon head back to the mainland, leaving her fantasy island trip behind. She had woken early that morning, having coffee on the deck, and watching the sunrise. It was a beautiful day for her to leave Sizzle Island, but her heart still ached with sorrow.As she pulled her luggage up to the biplane, Rebecca stood there, waiting with a smile."Ready to go, sweetie? I'm sure going to miss you."Ava promised to stay in touch, even though she knew it would be difficult. Quickly, Rebecca hugged her one last time before walking her onto the plane."You've definitely given me a run for my money. I'm not sure if anyone else could have put up with all of your antics."Ava just giggled. "I wasn't that bad.""Nah, but you have being a submissive brat down to an art form. It may work for you. Hunter likes his submissive a little on the bratty side, even though he hates to admit it.""I might need to thank him for that.""Just don't tell him I told you so. He'
Apollyon's Secret at Midnight Chapter 36
Later that evening the sun had set, and around Midnight Ava finally got a text.Hunter: I need to see you. Now!Ava: Come and get it, Daddy. Room 104 at the Hotel Max just off the interstate. Hunter: I’m not playing. And I’m not into that Daddy shit. You better be ready when I get there. I’ve had a long ass day and I’m not going to put up with your brat behavior.Ava: Oh, was your little fox a bad girl? I wonder what her big strong Master is going to do about it.((silence))Hunter: I’m on my way.Hunter seemed upset, but something in her loved when he got a little riled up. He probably needed a release after the day he had, and Ava missed him so much she would do just about anything to get him near her again.Doing just as Rebecca instructed, she checked to make everything was perfect. She left the door unlocked, and went to the bed, once she assumed he would be close to the hotel. Pulling off her clothes, Ava positioned herself on the bed and attached a set of clamps to her already
Apollyon's Secret at Midnight Chapter 37
Ava had stewed over the fact Eveline had branded Hunter all night. It was perfectly clear to her now how deeply he had been brainwashed at the hands of this mad woman. Maybe it was that he had been hidden away from the world for so long, and he no longer had the strength to fight back. She clearly understood how abuse was a factor, but needed to get in his head and break the hold his stepmother had over him.Placing her laptop down at the desk in the hotel room, Ava scooted into the chair and opened the screen. Taking a deep breath, she looked up Stockholm syndrome and various forms of trauma. As she was reading over one medical article, a text box showed on her screen.Hunter: I told you to get your ass home.Shaking her head, she typed away.Ava: And I told you to stop hacking my laptop.Hunter: You’re better off looking up your cat videos and porn, sweetheart. I’m not a victim.Ava: Really? Tell that to the burn marks on your arms.Hunter: (Silence...) Ava, I know you’re worried, b

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
