At five thirty in the morning, Sakura nearly fell off her Jimmy Choo pumps the moment she stepped out of the limo and sighted the plane before them. She had known they’d be traveling to Hawaii on a private jet. But this? This was beyond her expectations. The plane was the size of an Airbus that could hold several hundred people. From what Conrad had told her the night before, she had thought the aircraft would be a small one that would hold about fifteen to twenty people at most. Not to mention the fact that there was an array of staff involved. There were at least six air hostesses alone, all dressed in an immaculate uniform of a light blue formal shirt, a darker shade of blue pencil skirt, and black heels.

Though the plane was unexpectedly on the larger side, which meant less claustrophobia for her, Sakura still felt more than a little unsettled. She had never liked flying, and instantly the thought brought forward a feeling of nausea. She was still staring at the plane and the beau

    Sakura had never liked flying. The very thought itself caused her to break into a cold sweat. If she had the choice, she’d rather not travel by plane. But of course, her hands were tied, as the saying went, in this case, since she had no choice in the matter. Either travel to Hawaii and do the photo shoot, or pay the price for Mr. Tachibana’s one-of-a-kind gown. To be honest, her condition wasn’t that bad. It had been just the anxiety of being high up in the air and the possibilities of certain things that might go wrong that really affected her. Not many people knew about her phobia, except for Daddy James, Mom Brenda, and Mary.Sakura glanced over to the other side and noted Daddy James watching her. He signaled to her with a nod of his head to join him. Sakura sighed with relief.“Sorry, Conrad, I need to speak with Daddy James,” she said.The words Daddy James drew Marissa’s attention. She stopped talking to Logan and glanced at Sakura.“Huh? Now? Can’t it wait?” Conrad queried, o

    Even at six in the evening, it was still extremely hot and humid in Hawaii. Sakura, in her flimsy, floral maxi dress, even with the cool breeze brushing nicely against her skin as the convertible sped along, felt stuffy and out of sorts. Of course, it was made worse by being squeezed in the back between Akira and Conrad, her two very strict bodyguards.She sighed, wondering how much longer until they’d get to Princeton Hotel and Resort here in Honolulu. After all, she was exhausted, as was everyone else, from the eleven-hour flight from New York.Beside her, Akira groaned as the woman continued to flutter a magazine about her, generating some sort of manmade fan to further help relieve herself of the intense heat.“It’s so hot,” she groaned tiredly. “I don’t know how much longer I can take this.” She flopped her head back and closed her eyes, the wind fluttering her short hair about her face.Jane, who was sitting in the front seat beside Sosuke, the driver, agreed with a nod of her h

    After she had finished putting her things away into the drawers, Sakura wandered out onto the veranda to have a look at the view. She smiled as she gazed at the spectacular scenery before her, of an exquisite white sandy beach and deep blue sea that stretched beyond the horizon.“It’s beautiful,” she said softly, her heart glowing with delight at the sight she beheld. She decided she’d have a wonderful time here, relaxing and simply enjoying herself. It was her holiday, after all. Well, except, of course, for the photo shoot that was going to take place the day after tomorrow, which was never far from her mind.She dreaded it because she had never done anything like this before. Furthermore, she wasn’t even a model, and she didn’t even know how to do it right—the posing, the expressions, and everything else that made a photo turn out good. She was so afraid of ruining it for Mr. Tachibana and everyone else, wasting their time and effort. Besides the fact that she’d embarrass herself,

    Sakura, Sebastian, and Michael returned to the holiday house some ten minutes later, and by then the sun had already set. In the foyer, the trio was greeted by Tristan and Logan, who had been waiting for them.“What makes you so damned arrogant as to steal Sakura away for such a long time, Seb?” Tristan demanded the moment the trio stepped over the threshold of the holiday house. “It’s not like Sakura has already chosen you over us.” He turned to Sakura and asked, “Isn’t that right, darling?”Logan shook his head as he tsked in disapproval. “And to be out until dark, too. Who knows what naughty things you did to Sakura behind our backs, just so you can have an advantage over us? You certainly need to be disciplined by your elder, Seb.”Sebastian ignored his brothers’ teasing and asked instead, “I’m starving. When’s dinner?”Sakura said, “Just so you know, your brother didn’t do anything naughty, Logan. You need to have some trust in Sebastian.” She cocked her head to one side and smil

    The moment Sakura stepped across the threshold of the large, modern kitchen, loud chattering voices greeted her. To be sure, the atmosphere was indeed lively and busy. There was Beth along with the two maids, as well as Akira, Jane, and Ms. Ruka, busying themselves with preparing the evening meal. Sakura thought they looked like a bunch of housewives.As she headed toward Jane and Akira, she noted large platters of raw seafood as well as expensive cuts of red and white meat, sausages, and an assortment of vegetables for the barbeque. Already, her mouth was watering at the sight of such a delicious feast, and her tummy growled knowingly.“Hi, everyone,” she said, as she came to stand between Akira and Jane, who were preparing the vegetables.Akira was chopping red bell peppers into bite-sized pieces, while Jane did the button mushrooms. On the other side of the bench, Ms. Ruka was skewering the chopped peppers, button mushrooms, and onions, while one of the maids was marinating the chi

    Once they arrived at the barbeque house, Sakura did not miss the fact that it was indeed a state-of-the-art design. The equipment was top notch—gas barbeque, stove, oven, and marble benchtop. There was even a large sink for washing as well. Talk about convenient. Indeed, this was a man’s territory. Daddy James’s territory.Sakura and Akira were placing the platters of seafood onto the benchtop when Michael rushed up to them.“Whoa! Looks awesome,” he said, grinning from ear to ear, eyeing the platters. Turning to Akira, he told her, “I love barbeque because there’s lots of meat.”Akira chuckled. “I love barbeque, too, Michael.”Meanwhile, Sakura said to Daddy James, “We’ll go and get some more food.”Daddy James eyed the platters and said, “Thanks, girls. Now we can start cooking. I’m sure everyone is starving. Right, Michael?” He chuckled.Michael agreed by nodding.“You want to be my kitchen hand?” Daddy James asked the boy. Again, Michael nodded, this time enthusiastically.“How ab

    It had been a long day, and by the time Sakura was full from the delicious meal, she felt rather tired and light-headed. Of course, the constant flow of wine Tristan and Logan insistently poured into her glass undoubtedly added to those feelings. She must admit…the two brothers were rather good at their jobs as the hosts of the party, ensuring everyone was having a good time.At the moment, Tristan was reciting a tale of a particular adventure during the brothers’ teenage years, back when they used to live on St. Joseph Island, when Sakura had been living with them, but wasn’t really one of them. This particular one was about the brothers’ camping trip with their father on St. Joseph Island. There was something about a storm that night, and the boys had to sleep in a cave.Logan said, “It was awesome.” He chuckled. “I remember Conrad was so freaked out by the storm that he clung to Tristan.”Tristan nodded, a teasing grin on his lips. “That’s right. Conrad was shaking all over like a

    Sakura felt her body land softly on top of Darcy’s as he deepened the kiss and urged her lips to part for him. When she finally surrendered and did as he entreated, he plunged his tongue into her mouth, exploring and stroking her.Sakura groaned, and her whole body shook with undisguised pleasure as Darcy stroked his tongue deeply, kissing her so wildly and passionately that she became mindless and clung to him for dear life.By the time Darcy decided to pull back and terminate the kiss, Sakura was dazed and her body hot and shaky from the experience.Under the moonlight, Darcy stared long and hard at the woman he loved. She was so alluring, like a goddess under the moonlight, enticing and seducing him. He couldn’t help but swear under his breath. “Shit!”Sakura blinked, wondering why he was swearing, but of course, she did not know just how exotic she was at that moment, with her eyes bright and passionate, her cheeks flushing hot, and her lips blood red from the kiss.“Darcy?” she a

    Six Months LaterWhen Sakura woke up, it was to the sound of birds chirping and morning light shining in through the windows. She blinked a couple times to get used to the brightness as she lay there feeling exhausted, as if she had just finished running a race. Once she’d gotten used to the light, she searched about her surroundings, wondering where she was. Because this certainly wasn’t her room.Her eyes lingered on the beautiful chandelier dangling in the center, the crystals exuding an array of rainbow colors about the space. A moment later, her gaze shifted to the king-size bed that she was currently in.She sat up, her mind still reeling over what had happened last night. When she moved, she realized she was naked under the sheet. She frowned for a moment, and then everything came flooding back.Instantly, she blushed and clutched the sheet against her.“Oh God,” she whispered softly. “I’ve done it again, haven’t I? With Sebastian and Darcy?”She licked her lips as she pulled t

    The moment her hands were removed, the two men stared, marveling at the sight. Sure, they had seen many women’s breasts before, and in fact, to them, they were just part of the female anatomy. Nothing more. But with Sakura, her pair of exquisite beauties, the perfect-size mounds of pale, smooth flesh topped with cute pink nipples perking at just the right angle—they were something marvelous.Sebastian tittered with excitement, which drew Sakura’s attention to him. She gazed at him, wondering why he had such a passionate look in his eyes as he stared at her breasts. When he flicked his gaze to hers and their eyes met, Sakura swallowed hard at the raw passion she noted radiating from him.“Wow,” Darcy said, his voice deep and hoarse, which sent a delicious shiver down her spine. “Just wow.”Sebastian nodded. He couldn’t find words to describe how happy he was.Suddenly, Darcy cupped her breasts, one in each hand. Sakura gasped at the intimate contact as her body squirmed in his embrace.

    Sakura grabbed Sebastian’s hands that were about to cup her breasts, stopping him. She looked from one man to the other, her mind reeling at what was going on. She licked her lips nervously and then finally managed to ask, “What are you two doing? Aren’t you going to order room service?”Sebastian’s eyes glinted with that mischievousness that Sakura found both vexing and endearing at the same time.He said, with a hint of a laughter in his deep timbre, “Oh, but you are our room service.”Sakura wasn’t accepting it. She knew they both were toying around with her. She demanded, “The dessert?”Darcy said, his voice sensual and deep, “You are our dessert. That’s why it’s the best kind, one we’ll remember for the longest time.”It was only then that she understood what they meant. She. Was. Their. Dessert. As in they were going to make love to her?That pushed her into a panic attack, and she struggled in Sebastian’s arms, desperately wanting to break free. The damn handsome man, however,

    Darcy said, “Sakura, remember the night you confessed to us?”Slowly, Sakura nodded.“You told us you’d either have both of us or none at all,” Sebastian said.Sakura jumped at the sound of his voice. She didn’t realize he was standing behind her, so close to her in fact that she could feel the heat of his body warming her against the coolness of the night.She nodded again. “Yes, I did say that, and I meant it. I can’t…” She sighed, her heart now racing furiously. “I can’t live with the knowledge that I picked one of you and not the other. That I’d be living with one and not the other. That I’d be showering my love on one and not the other when I love you both. It just isn’t fair.” Her body and hands were shaking now, even her voice, quivering softly under the two men’s scrutiny.“I won’t be able to handle the guilt, the pain of not having both of you in my life. I know I’m greedy. I know… It’s weird to love two men and want both in my life…living like a family like it’s nothing.” Sh

    Sakura relaxed back in her seat and then put on the safety belt. A moment later, Sebastian started the engine and then they were off.It was dark, and the city lights glittered beautifully against the backdrop of the night sky, competing with the stars. It was indeed breathtakingly beautiful, and Sakura was mesmerized.“It’s beautiful here, isn’t it?” Sebastian said.Sakura nodded. “After what happened…” she said, her throat feeling a little dry. “After what happened, I appreciate what’s around me more.”Sebastian reached out his free hand and cupped her face. “Nothing like that is ever going to happen to you again. I’m here with you, and Darcy, too.” He chuckled. “In fact, all of us Princetons. We’re family.”She smiled, appreciating his comforting words. “Thanks.”It was a few more minutes when Sakura realized they were heading toward the hotel. Of course, she was a little confused as to why they were going there and was about to ask Sebastian as he parked the car when he intercepte

    Darcy was discharged from the hospital five days later, and, in Princeton style, a big Welcome Home party was launched at the holiday house.The moment Darcy stepped foot out of the car, he was treated and pampered like a king by everyone, especially his brothers Tristan and Logan, who acted as his butlers. Of course, being the down-to-earth person he was, Darcy didn’t want that kind of attention and found it rather tiring. Deep down, all he wanted was for Sakura to be by his side.Damn, but he wanted to kiss her and, most of all, confess his love for her properly, along with Sebastian of course. But that was not to be as the house was almost always full of people coming and going, and not one moment had he had the chance to be with her. At least not until a day later when he and Sebastian had a good talk and made arrangements for things to start moving forward to make it official.Now sitting on the couch, drinking coffee, both Sebastian and Darcy watched Sakura as she animatedly cha

    Sakura and Sebastian stayed with Darcy throughout the morning, with Sakura entertaining Darcy by telling him about her family reunion and that Ned was actually her biological father and Beth her aunt. Of course, Darcy wasn’t surprised with this outcome, as he had known how much Ned loved Sakura. The same went for Beth.It was some time later when Darcy asked the question he had wanted answered since he’d seen the news on the television early that morning. It was about Mrs. Clark, Tara, and Ray Woods, who had been taken into custody.Sebastian said, “Tara might get a lighter sentencing than Mrs. Clark and Ray Woods. She’s only an accomplice.”“And Mrs. Clark?” Sakura asked, her body tense.“Probably life in prison for first-degree murder or something along those lines,” Sebastian said.“For murdering Mrs. Taylor?” Sakura asked.At this, both Sebastian and Darcy turned to look at her, surprised. Sebastian asked, “How did you know she was one of the victims?”Sakura cast her eyes downwar

    Sakura woke with a start, gasping and whimpering and her skin soaking with sweat. With her heart beating loudly in her chest, she stared up at the ceiling, her mind racing as tears welled in her eyes.Dream. It was only a dream. It wasn’t real. She hadn’t lost Darcy. She hadn’t lost Sebastian. Both men were still here with her.“Sebastian. Darcy,” she whispered, tears rolling down her cheeks.Just moments ago, she had dreamed of them—she and the Princeton brothers—once again on that yacht in the middle of the ocean, the storm raging above them. Mrs. Clark, Tara, and Ray Woods had been there, too, torturing her.Sakura shut her eyes as she remembered the nightmare vividly.Mrs. Clark had shot her, only to hit Darcy instead. As Darcy lay there in her arms, dying from the gunshot wounds, Tara slayed Sebastian with her knife and then pushed him off the boat into the rampant sea.The thought of losing her beloved men made her feel sick to her stomach, and she whimpered softly. She shook he

    Across the distance of the sitting room, Sakura silently watched her biological mother being embraced in Ned’s arms as the woman recited her story to her first love. And Sakura had no doubt that she, too, must have played a part of that tale when she had been a baby.Once again, she still couldn’t believe the fact that she, Sakura, had been by her biological father’s side all along, since she had been seven years old in fact. Could this explain why she had always felt connected to the man deep down? Was that why she’d always felt safe and comforted when he was around? And the fact that he had always been there for her and helping her when she had needed someone like a parent the most reminded her again of how important Ned was in her life.When Haruka finally finished telling Ned her tale some fifteen minutes later, Sakura saw Ned comforting her, telling her that he didn’t blame her for what had happened and what she’d done.
