Diane’s eyes lit up as she saw the dolphins. Matthew couldn’t help but notice her sparkling blue eyes. He was not expecting to find a women on vacation. He was looking for down time away from business and people but this woman has stirred something inside him. He can have women all the time but this was the first time he was interested in getting to know a women.
“So was that your ex-husband?”“He was a boyfriend, if you don’t mind I’d like to not talk about him. I got a three day weekend. First in a long time.”Diane continued to watch the dolphins until they were out of sight. They had walked about a mile watching the dolphins. The sun has set and the moon could be seen in the distance. The night was warm but not too warm.“Thanks for walking me. I guess we should say goodnight?”“I have a boat. If you like I can take out to see the dolphins up close. We can see them early in the morning and I have a spare room.”“I’m not into going home with men I don’t really know.”“We won’t be alone. I have a crew and actual security.”“Actual security for what?”“I live on an island not too far from here sometimes. Security is needed for unwanted guests.”“If I go with you I need to know three things. Do you have..”Matthew pulled Diane in close and kissed her. He knew she had a hard hits after seeing her ex on ground but it just felt right. He was taking a gambling kissing her all of a sudden but he didn’t care.Diane was surprised but she needed strong arms wrapped around her waist. His kiss was so passionate but too hard. She pulled him in tighter.Diane half hated herself. She was trying hard to convince herself he didn’t need a man but Matthew’s kiss was powerful. He was all man.Matthew pulled away first.“I’m sorry, there just some good chemistry here that I haven’t felt before. I really want to get to know you. You’re not like other women here.”Diane let out a smile as Matthew led the way to boat.“What about my stuff on the beach?”“I’ll send a crew member to get it”Diane thoughts went wild. A crew member can stuff? A man with a boat? I bet he makes good money. I might have to see where this goes. I’m not really into his money but I really have enjoyed our walk and that kiss. It made me weak, made me want to stay with him.On the boat the waves were gently crashing on side. The moon was now fully showing with only a few clouds and many stars could be seen out on the ocean.Matthew was sitting right beside Diane. He was watching the expression on her face. He never cared much for sitting in the moonlight or waiting for the dolphins he sees almost daily but this woman was intoxication.She had changed clothes after he sent a crew member to nearest store. Matthew smiled as Diane offered to pay for the items. The crew member looked at Matthew confused. He left after Matthew gave him a nod but without the money.Diane was now dressed in a nice black sundress that showed off every curve just right. Her makeup was now on. It was light and added to her beauty but the makeup wasn’t necessary. Diane was beautiful even without the makeup. Though Matthew was not sure what made him want this women more then others.They had spent hours talking. Matthew told Diane about the small town he grew up in. How his great grandfather started a family business that he was lucky to have passed down to the generations. Diane shared how always lived close to beach. Though she is not big going far into the water she loves to collect beach stuff and watch the wild life.Her parents were hard working but they passed.Diane smiled to cover up the sadness that was starting to creep in after mentioning her parents.Matthew leaned over and kissed Diane. His hands slowly went down to her waist.The kiss made Diane forget her sadness. Dianne pulled away.“I’m not the kind of girl that sleeps with men for one night stand. It’s been almost a year though.”“I respect that, I can also see your starting to get cold with little goose bumps on your sweet arms.”Without another word Matthew pulled Diane’s hand and lead her to the bedroom. There was a window that was just above the water line. So peaceful. There was a nice king bed, small kitchen, living room, and a large bathroom. His bedroom was as big as her apartment though she had a large kitchen and much smaller bathroom.“I have many drinks here. What kind of a drink would like?”Diane was a little surprised as she was used to having to get her own.“Whiskey and a little bit of coke.”Matthew was also surprised, he would of never took her as a whiskey drinker. He poured her drinks and they poured himself the same but without the coke.Diane took a sip of her drink.“Wow that’s some good whiskey”“I’m glad you like it. We make this at our family business.”“So your make alcohol?”“Mostly. What do you do?”“I’m a manager for company that transport goods.”Diane couldn’t believe she found herself a businessman when she wasn’t even looking.The rest of the night Diane laid in Matthew’s arm. This was exactly the attention she needed. It was peaceful her naked body was warm next to his body. It was perfect.Next morning Diane woke up to the sound of something beeping outside. Diane looked out the window but she wasn’t sure where they were. Matthew was no where to be found. Diane started to panic. She quickly washed up. Got dressed and grabbed her belongings. She didn’t have much on her since she was at the beach before this. She has her debit card and cell phone, which has no reception where ever they were at. Diane went to deck of the boat and was greeted by an unfriendly crew member. “Where are we and where is Matthew?”“I don’t have time for questions. You can either go home or wait.”The crew member hurried off. Diane thoughts went wild. Oh lord, what did I get myself into. Last night was perfect but none of this makes sense now. I need to get off this boat and find cell signal. Without a second thought Diane jumped on the dock they were at.Diane was tired and sore. She knew drinking made her sore but she wasn’t worried since she had just been relaxing. She was not ready for an
Matthew drove into the county side. His face was still charming and the warm expression made Diane feel comfortable. Diane wasn’t sure why she trusted him so much. She just met him yesterday and then things got out of control.Matthew finally turn to Diane. “I’m so sorry all of this . My crew found a storm brewing and went to the docks. I would of normally woke you but you were so deeply sleeping.”“Why would you leave me with no word on what was going on. I thought you were a creep and that I made a big mistake. I was so confused. That’s why I left to get out of here.” “I left a guard at door but I was betrayed.”“I had checked the weather for the weekend. There was no bad weather.”“Wrong kind of a storm. This was personal storm that I had to deal with. Matthew pulled over to a cabin overlooking the valley below with the ocean in the far distance “I know you said Dave was jobless but I think there is stuff you didn’t know about him. He has been sabotaged my local distillery and w
Matthew was so charming on the way home.“Look Diane, dolphins”Diane smiled and watching the dolphins still they were out of sight. “We can swim if you like?” Matthew had a nice smile and I’m sure I would be safe but I never been in the deep water. I had a mix fear of deep water all my life though I can swim.“I’ll think maybe another time. It’s been a long weekend so going home would be best.”“Ok we will be there in about 20 minutes, get some lunch set up in the mean time.”Lunch was quickly pulled out by the staff. Nothing to fancy, sandwiches and fruit.Matthew sat close beside me. “I know we don’t know each other well but I would feel better if you would allow me to give you a gift?”Matthew pulled out a box that was small and blue. He slowly open the box to reveal a purple bracelet.“Oh, that is very lovely. I’d be happy to wear it.” I love jewelry and purple is my favorite color. “Let me be perfect honest. This bracelet has a tracking device but its is only active if you pr
The morning sun came through the windows early. There was no curtains to shade the morning light that woke Diane up early.Diane rinsed off her face with her hands. She can’t believe everything that has happened this weekend. She grabbed her cellphone called Dave.Dave saw Diane’s call. He was tempted to send her to voice mail but wanted to hear the dispel in her voice. After she kicked him out without anything and then slapped him. While she was out he took the opportunity to take west saw fit. “Diane. Did you have a wonderful weekend with the western mad man.”He voice didn’t was very cold.“Were you at my apartment?”“You mean our apartment; the one we built together.”“You asshole; I need my stuff!”Diane’s face was red as her temper rose. “You grabbed me this weekend out of no where.”Dave started to raise his voice.“I came to tell you why I’ve been so tired. I started my own company..“Yeah selling alcohol and sabotaging other companies”“So Matt filled you in some. Huh he le
Matthew’s blue eyes were so perfect it was easy for Diane to forget about being mad and get lost in them. Diane fought off the thoughts and stared to question Mathew. His eyes where like the sea. Not always fully blue but a blue and green mix. She couldn’t help but think how their kids would have a wonderful blue eyes with their features mixed together. Her face started to turn red at the thought.“Why are you here?”Diane had annoyance in her voice but it was slightly forced. After coming home to almost nothing she was happy to see him.Matthew stared into Diane’s eyes. He really wanted to skip all this drama and hold her. He wasn’t normally a romance guy but there was still something about Diane.“Like I said before, I wasn’t sure taking you home was safe. I have a suite here for awhile. I had one of the guards keep a distant eye on you. Not to interfere but just to ensure you were ok. When I heard you came to the same hotel I was staying at, I knew I had to find out why.”“I’m not
Diane entered her room and flip the light switch but the room stayed dark. “Ugh I really hate hotels with their lamps, I must of just the switch off by hand” Diane thought.Diane walked to window and opened the curtains to let in some light.Suddenly Diane couldn’t see anything. She started to scream but something was tired around her mouth. She felt a pinch and then fell to the ground.When Diane woke she was in a strange room. Everything was dirty. There was a small cot she was laying in with a few blankets from the hotel. There was a small window that was up too high for her to see out of. She could birds and the sounds of water. Diane started to push the cot towards the window so she could get a look when the door open.“Aw, Miss Diane Black, it is so nice you’re awake.”The voice scared Diane. She stood up straight and turned around. There was a guy with grey hair. He was old guy was be looked as though he worked out. Not that working out helped his appearance any. He had seve
Matthew got to Diane’s room. He checked the hall for guests then slide his gun into his hand and pull his jacket sleeve down. He wanted to cover up just incase a guest saw him. He didn’t need the cops called nor his family’s company security all over the place. It might spook the people and cause Diane more harm.Matthew had always hated the extra security which is why he makes Whiskey instead of his Dad’s line of work. He hated that his father’s business often caused issues for his.Matthew quickly open and closed the door but don’t go in. This would call out someone if they were guarding the room. .. unless they were waiting and targeting him.A couple of minutes passed and Matthew open the door and entered the room. After a quick look around the small room confirm there was no one there. The blankets were off the bed. The curtains were open and partially pulled down. Matthew blood started to boil as the screen quickly told there was a struggle in Diane’s room.Matthew grab his phon
Home is a place Matthew has not been since his mother passed. It seemed the town was the same but with more people. Almost ten years. His father had made the calls but when Beaker refused they had to go save her.Breaker was a ruthless man who would do the dirty work. He would traffic people for a good price. Make people disappear. He doesn’t often negotiate nor take risks that anyone would find his location. Fully explained while his signal to Diane was cut off. From what they learned about Breaker’s plan in a short time was nothing. It didn’t make sense why he didn’t turn Diane over at a safe location.Matthew could only hope that Breaker didn’t touch Diane’s lush skin. Her perfect feature curves and those hot tasting lips. She was easy to talk to and didn’t seem to care about his money. She didn’t ask him to help with her belongings or hotel. He hasn’t know Diane long but he wanted more then abutting to be with her. As his thoughts drive him crazy, Matthew hit his hand into the c
I finally got to the cabin. I think I broke every speed limit but the fine would of been worth it to get to Diane. I can’t imagine my life without her. I’m definitely ready for some alone time. If it doesn’t happen soon I’m going to need some cold showers. She was in my mind the entire trip. Though I was worried, I kept thinking about her perfect curves. She was the perfect fit for me. There is no one else who could take her place. Diane was in a league of her own. I love how her tummy flutters when we get to be alone. It is a magical sensation. She loves to put her head on my chest and listen to my heart beat while I stroke her hair. I can’t wait but life is about to pull me away again.Pulling up to cabin it looks like a war went off. The side old school alarms, that I picked on Aaron for putting up, really worked. Diane and Ralph had just enough time to take cover. I should of left Aaron behind but I thought the cabin was safe. Ralph was sitting on the porch, so I joined him.“Wh
“I sure wish Diane to me about her connections before. I heard her tell whomever on the phone that they were keeping her secret. She didn’t even tell me about a secret” Matthew said to Aaron as they drove.“You haven’t really given her much time. Everything has happened rather quickly.”“It couldn’t be helped. Our parents are stuck in their ways; he could of told us what they were going to do. Then we have too many people trying to make a quick dollar of us.”“Speaking of money, are you positive you want me to file these papers?”“Yes, I also have some making up to do after today as well. Though Diane doesn’t hold a grudge I feel like crap for my temper”Aaron pulled out his phone. A few minutes later:“Done, I’ve filled everything with the courts and your good to go. Are you going to be ok with just you and a crew you don’t know?”“It’ll have to do. We have a leak in our security that has lead to all of this happening. You and Diane are the only two I trust. If she says Hugo can be t
The morning sun came too soon. I stretch and wished I was not awake yet, but I know we have a lot to do. Aaron is sound asleep beside me.I gently kiss Matthew until he wakes up. “Now that’s the way I want to wake up everyday and see you.” As Matthew kisses me back.We eventually got of bed and make our way downstairs. Aaron and my father are starring at us. “Oh god, I hope we weren’t loud last night” I think to my self.Aaron looks to Matthew and my face his turning red.“Now is a good time as any since we have plan to get this done.” Matthew says as he grabs my hand.Aaron got up and stood beside my Dad.Matthew got down on one knee.“Diane will you marry me?”He opens a box that revels my mothers wedding ring. “Oh wow, yes.”Matthew puts the ringer on my finger. “We will do a full wedding later but Aaron can marry us today, if your ok with that.” Matthew says is a sweet tone.I know we have several issues to overcome but this feels right. It’s all so soon but I got my father her
Ralph and I take off for a hike to get cell service. Thankfully Ralph is in good shape minus his gunshot shoulder. In about ten minutes we make the hike.I sit down by a tree while Ralph makes his call. Whoever he is speaking with must be confused to discover he is alive. Ralph is putting himself in danger. He has done some bad things too but he is now working with my father to do good things.I can’t believe my father held him captive. At this point, I’ve been so wrapped up with Diane, that I have not ask him why. Was it for to trust or safety? I’m hoping it was for safety since I’m trusting him now. I’m not going to let their past destroy my connection with Diane.Since I met Diane my world has gone crazy. I have always been busy but not like this. Dangerous underground world is something I never wanted part of. I had to dabble some when people break into our warehouses. Part of having the Helm name. My grandfather would be angry at this point but I hope to restore peace. I have not
I’m sitting in a rocking chair on the porch. Not sure where we are but off the grid. Nothing is here but trees. Aaron advised that there was several traps and alarms; quite old school. So, there not much to do since we won’t be here at the cabin long term. Aaron had to hike a mile just to get cell service. It’s safer this way. No one can use technology to easily find us. I don’t mind except missing my family. It’s peace and we have plenty of food. There is a nice creek outback that has cool water, I think it’s spring water. It is cold and clear. I saw some fish in the creek.The cabin is quite large to me. Two floors with five bedrooms. One in the basement. The cabin needs some work. Cleaning and painting. You can tell no one has been here in years. No wonder only Aaron and Matthew know about its location.Today is a nice sunny afternoon. If I had Matthew to hold me it would be the perfect day. I love being held. It makes forget the troubles of the day. I can see Aaron returning fr
“Aaron I’m at the warehouse, how long before support gets here”“They are ten minutes out, sir please be careful and keep this channel open so I can hear you”Matthew put his bullet proof vest and loaded two guns.“Ok but I’m putting you on mute, I didn’t have time to get out coms”Matthew snuck to front door and peered into the window.“It’s looks like no one is here so far but everything is a mess. Creates are knocked over with my fathers export of guns on the ground. So whoever was here was not after the guns.”Matthew opened the door and quietly shut the door. If someone was there he didn’t want them to know he was.Matthew made his way to office keeping a low profile.“Inside the office is one person shot. I’m going in now “Matthew found Ralph with a bullet in his shoulder,Ralph’s voice was raspy and low.“Matthew, thank god you found me. Your father was going to sell out of this side of business to make the future safer for you and Diane. However they weren’t interested in the
Matthew and Diane had been spending all the time together they could. Growing closer and deeper in love. It wasn’t quite ideal to have both their parents in the same house, but everyone was getting along ok. Diane was now able to walk without any assistance so they were searching the property to pick a spot for their house.Matthew stopped at a spot on the far side of the property. He took Diane’s hand and lead the way.“This is the another spot like the rest we seen but with a view. It’s ten acres to my Dads and fifteen form yours.”Diane stood in the middle of an almost clear land that looked over the hillside and many trees.“I do like this spot the most for far but does any of the land have water?”Matthew knowingly looked into Diane eyes. She was happy but something was missing.“There’s that creek by your Dad’s but that’s about it. Now we don’t have to stay here. We can go anywhere. I just need to ensure we are safe from our fathers past and those trying to steal from my distill
Diane had seen the doctor. She did fracture her leg when she escaped.“Ugh”, she said to herself, “Had I only waited a day more, I wouldn’t have broke my leg.”While Diane cleaned up and took a much needed shower and downtime, the doctor spoke with Matthew and Ralph in the den.“Diane is lucky. The fall could of been much worse considering. Everything will heal on is own but she should keep her leg wrapped and a follow up on six weeks; which Diane has turned down.”They all shook hands as the doctor left. “Ralph, why would Diane turn down the doctors request?”“She, like her mother, are not a fan of doctors unless they absolutely need them. I’m not sure if she told you yet but both her and her Mom got arthritis at young ages. It took off countless of Doctors to find out what was wrong. The cost of the medical for her Mom is why I was in the game. When we learned Diane had juvenile arthritis, I pushed hard to fund the research I work on with your Dad.”“Why didn’t you tell her you wer
