Chapter 25

            I didn’t sleep that night. Not that I should have come as any surprise to me. I lay awake in my bed, reliving the past. I oath to move on, and yet here I am.

            I remember when we first met, Alejandro and his pink handcuff when he easily defeated the culprit, and we indeed up laughing together when we found out that we were actually lost in that dark alley. And how he’d swept my feet off into a passionate and all-consuming relationship.

            From the first day he asked me out, we hadn’t spent a single day apart for several weeks. By the end of the first month of our whirlwind courtship, I finally said yes. And that moment, I experienced how sweet my first ‘I love you is. I had never been quite sure why he’s chosen me.

    Chapter 3The culture was overrated. After several hours in the National Gallery, my feet were sore in my kitten-heeled sandals, and my head felt as if it was stuffed with oil paintings. I sank down onto a leather couch facing Botticelli's Venus and Mars and groaned with the relief of being off my feet. Mars was lying back in the painting, covered only by a scrap of a sheet, snoring in post-coital bliss. Venus was fully dressed, fully awake, and looked as if she'd had significantly less fun than Mars. I smiled because I recognized the feeling. Though I had to say that if I were the goddess of love, I'd be out of there as soon as Mars dropped off to sleep.

Once is enough.Alejandro looked up and I can see that he can’t help too heaved a sigh, and I am extremely irritated right now.Why Emma always interrupts us. I didn’t know that she has always a free time pestering us. I believe this is our first time spending together us a lover that’s why I want to us to be alone. After a morning and most of the afternoon in bed, Alejandro and I decided that we had to venture out for our dinner and now Emma is here, circling like a hawk waiting for her prey and I won’t her get what she wants. I also have a claw, but I know where to use it. I wisely choose my battle.I wasn’t jealous. Honestly, Emma wasn’t Alejandro’s type of women, though I suppos

    That didn’t sound like the Alejandro I knew. He was a kind of man who always planned everything to the nth degree. He had schedules, lists, planners, calendars. Alejandro not only worried about tomorrow, but the next year as well. Alejandro led me into his bedroom and motioned me to get into his bed. He hung back, maybe out of deference to me, with obvious unease. I took a deep breath, and I crawled beneath the covers and turned so I’d face away from him when he got in. The bed dipped behind me, and I felt his warmth as soon as he slid beneath the covers. Alejandro moved about for a few seconds and then the next thing I knew, I can feel his breath against my back.

    Her smile. Her brilliant smile and I felt a raging emotion that run all the way to my soul. Her eyes lit up and sparkled and I felt as if it had handed me the world in the palm of her hand.Damn! If that was all it took to make her smile like that, I’d gladly tell her every hour, every minute, and every single day how gorgeous she was.Cause’ she is.Cameron reached for my hands, laced her fingers in mine, and then used my hands for leverage as she raised her hips just enough so I could easily slide through her sweetness all over again.I’m lost in my breath again and I can’t help to escape a long hiss and then she slid down, and I feel the heat inside of me all over again.“Damn, woman, you really driving me crazy.” I muttered.Cameron smiled, clearly satisfied with my admission.And I savored the feel of her much smaller hands engulfed by my own. And we held on tightly as she began a slow, rhythmi

    Alejandro was carrying me as if I’m just a light sack of bag, and when we enter his room, he let me seat on the bed. And I can’t take my eyes off him when his pants drop on the floor and he was now proudly standing at the foot of the bed with his boxers only. “I feel hot wearing my pants on,” Alejandro said while laughing at my reactions. “Hope you don’t mind.” And now he removed his shirts. My throat went dry when I saw his well-defined body with his proud eight pack and V-line. “I… I don’t mind at all.” My eyes were still on his proud glory. I forced my gaze

    "Will you sleep with me tonight, Cameron?"My eyes widened and my heart was about to explode."Fuck!" Alejandro cursed. "That came out completely wrong. What I mean is. Actually sleep, sleep. Just sleeping together in a same bed. I'd like to hold you again. Nothing more, nothing less. Just allow me to hold you again."The idea of lying in his arms, that I can snuggle into his body and tangling my legs with his... It was so compelling that I suddenly wanted it more than my next breath.I toke a deep breath, and nodded.He reached over, took my hand and he simply hold it, our fingers wound tightly. And he leaned back and positioned himself up on his elbow at an angle and then pulled me so I could rest against his chest.We remained that way until some workers came out to light the torches along the beach as dusk deepened and the stars began to pop in the sky.Soft music floated from down the beach where an outdoor lounge area was locate

    I woke up not feeling good, and something is happening inside my body. I can’t tell how or why, but I know something is different. My head is swirling, and my stomach is gagging up with my head. I feel terrible. Slowly I got up from my bed, and I looked at the empty bed beside me. I smile, a sweet smile escapes from my lips. I know Alejandro was in his office right now. I have heard that Emma Dowager is coming today. She is the tenth duchess of Montoro, a very close friend of Alejandro, and one of his business partners. It is early, and now he is busy. Being the country's Count is a big responsibility that Alejandro was carrying every day, and it did not bother me at all, as long as we are happy and always find time for each other. That’s enough for both of us.

    I squashed the flash of sympathy I felt for him. It might explain why, but it did not begin to excuse the way he had used me. “It is in the cards, though uncertain as yet. You sound surprise to me?” “I am.” Not as surprised as I had been when I had learned that the couple who had seemed a perfect match on every level were breaking up. Until the moment that the divorce had been announced, I had expected a dramatic reconciliation, but the Sancho divorce, like the break-up. Had been low key and bizarrely amicable based on what they called a mutual decision. But had that mutual, civilized, still-good-friend

    Preston’s I am not following this instinct that had taken an enormous chunk of my willpower, but the effort had faded into irrelevance beside the will power I had needed to tap into just to stop myself from taking Beatrice in my arms to comfort her. Just the sight of her standing there, white-faced and shaking, looking so vulnerable and fragile, had awoken every protective instinct I had and some new ones. While she had struggled not to cry, I had struggled to keep my distance. I hadn’t allowed myself to even touch her. I just couldn’t. if I had known it wouldn’t have stopped at comforting her. I

    My brows lifted. “What are you talking about now? Cheated…?” I asked irritably. “You are not making any sense.” Her face scrunched in an effort to hold back the tears that threatened to spill over. She lifted her chin and blinked hard. “Well, so sorry,” she drawled, “if I’ve lost my edge of clinical objectively, but I’ve never been in this situation before.” “And you think I have?” “Yes, I get it. You don’t need to spell it out.” She had been slow, but the penny had finally dropped. She knew why I was acting this way. “You th

    “Was I drunk?” My simmering hostility in my manner as much as abrupt question made Beatrice blink numerous times. “What?” My eyes flashed. “Was I forcing myself on you? Por Dios, no, I was not!” “But, I never—” “So, at what point did I become a bad guy?” I demanded, cutting across her. “I never—” “The fact is, you were lucky enough that I was there, but you are too stubborn to admit it!

    But having it spelled out to me by Brian was a different matter. “I will never tie my hair back again,” I declared, striving for ironic mockery and delivering instead something a lot closer to frenzied panic, possibly because of the husky addition of, “because I live to please you,” and that statement was uncomfortably close to the truth. “Are you going to tell me now what I’ve done to upset you?” The quiet words sent a fresh flash of anger through me. “Let me think…” I said, adopting a mystified expression as I pressed a finger to the suggestion of a cleft in my firm, rounded chin. “Could it be something to do with the fact I don’t much like being used? How do you think would I feel having my br

    Preston’s I had just filled the second champagne flute and was preparing to carry them into the bathroom with me when I heard the door open. I turned, glasses in hand, as Beatrice walked into the room, phone pressed to her ear. I noticed that she was not smiling. A man did not have to be particularly intuitive to see that Beatrice was not happy. I wondered what had occurred in the few minutes that we had been apart to account for her change of mood, but only in passing—my attention was focused on admiring how sinfully sexy she looked in a pink bra and a minuscule pair of matching silk sorts trimmed with lace. My throat was dry, my body hardened in lustful appreciation. I watched her advance. Each angry step makes her breast jiggle gently u

    If this is just a dream, I am going to stay dreaming. “I am quite hungry,” I admitted. A sweet smile plastered on my face. “I love watching you eat,” he said when I was allowing myself to be tempted by another piece of cheese. “You do it with such…relish.” “You mean I am greedy.” “So am I every time I look at you.” “I feel so guilty.” I saw the flash of annoyance cross his face and added quickly, “Not about the food or the sex, but it’s a weekday and I haven’t done a scrap of work.

    His stare make me shiver and then I cried out loud when without a warning he pressed his face against my breast, my back arched as his tongue began to whip slowly across the peaks of my breasts, that still painfully sensitive from our recent intense lovemaking. When he loosed my hands to cup one quivering peak I tangled my fingers in his dark hair, pushing through the ebony strands still damp from our recent exertions to cradle his skull and hold him against me. My hands stayed in his hair when he lifted his head and grinned down at me. "Also there is no point trying to hide from me in a bed this small." The bed was vast but I let it pass. "I wasn't trying to hide," I protested. He arched an ironic brow, making my eyes slide guilty from his. "I was cold." "Cold?" Preston laid his hand possessively on the soft feminine curve
