He shouldn't have done it.Xavier pinched at the bridge of his nose and cursed himself for the hundred times since they had gotten back to the villa he shouldn't have kissed Cara the way he had with anger and arrogance and it dark compulsion to punish her. Next and yet he had been lying if he had said that he hadn't enjoyed every damn second of plundering those soft honeyed lips.She had enjoyed it too he was sure of it she had made a sexy little moaning sound in her throat and softened her mouth under his granting him access to go deep to stroke his tongue in and taste her which had been his undoing.Because now he knew how sweet she was, his taste buds cried out for more.And his body ached. Wanted. wanted what he shouldn't have.Biting back another curse Xavier shut his laptop with hard and stood up from his desk. He had stared at the same columns and rows of figures for over and hour full clearly work wasn't going to provide the distraction he had hoped for.He moved through the o
The water poured down, the heat hit his feet first, then his torso, then finally he brought his head forward. As the falling water splashed in his eyes, Xavier blinked. The feeling of the water running down his body began to wake up his sleeping cock. It jumped at first then rose slowly. Xavier took it in his hand and began to work it up and down. His eyes already closed, the images in his head began to appear with increasing clarity.A room was visualized on the inside of Xavier's eyelids. White walls. No window. Empty space. Wait. Not completely empty. His mind's eye walked across the room and a girl appeared. She was not too tall, red haired beauty with high flaring cheek bones, wide-set brown eyes and long, muscular limbs. Everything about her bespoke her sensuality and it was apparent she knew it. She appeared to be about in her late twenties. Very fit. Her stomach was flat, as if she made a habit to include crunches in her workout. Her breasts were ample. If Xavier had to make a
But Cara had tried.And he had made it very clear he wasn't interested.Extremely clear free down the track should write him to be from Australia. Explain what medium had told her. Then he would decide whether to use the information or discard it.The taxi pulled up outside the ferry terminal and Cara put the photo away. The driver helped her retrieve her backpack and then took her movement to sort out the right bills and coins to pay him.Once he was happy she hoisted her back on to her shoulder turned towards the terminal and slammed into a wall of solid muscle.The impact combined with the weight of the pack through her off balance and she stumbled backwards with a startled cry.Strong hands caught her upper arms stopping her from falling.She looked up and her mouth dried.“Xavier!”“Running away Cara?”She tried to focus on what he had said instead of the heat of his hands which felt like branding irons on her bare arms. “What?” In her peripheral vision a big dark suited man em
As soon as Javier had slipped his phone back into his jacket she blurted ,”I can't go into your office is dressed like this!”Cara could just picture the beautiful flawless assistant looking at her in her denim cut offs and tank top with barely concealed horror.His gaze lead over her setting briefly on her bare thighs before lifting back to her face. For a second their gazes smashed and her breath snacked and she thought she saw a flash of heat in those metallic grey eyes before his features grew shattered again.“We are not going to my office.” They instead went to the very top of the tower via a dedicated lift that ran from the underground car park and gave access to 2 other levels. The 44th floor where the executive officers were located and the floor above which housed the corporate apartment that rosa had mentioned as being aware he had sometimes stayed where he worked long hours.The lift was one of those super fast types that made her feel as if her stomach had relocated to h
It did not matter to her that he was commanding her.Cara was too far gone too aroused and for some reason the arrogant air of authority that normally rubbed her the wrong way only turned her on. It seemed like he was a man who knew what he wished for when he was with a woman fullHis hands had already played havoc with her pony tail leaving it a slightly askew and with long strands hanging loose about her face she pulled the elastic band off and freed the rest shaking her hair until the wavy tresses tumbled over her shoulders and down her back.Xavier took in a deep breath. He lifted his hands and smoothed the hair back from her face and then drifted his long fingers through the silky ends and murmured something in Spanish. Voice husky he reverted to English and said ,” take off your top Cara.”There was something deliciously risk about his ordering for had to strip for him. Before her confidence could waiver she pulled her tank top up over her head and let it fall from her fingers o
Cara forced herself to look at him. You have still got all your clothes on, she croaked and I have already she threw her for her arm over her eyes unable to finish.He eased her arm away and made her look at him again. “The first of many,” he said his voice a deeper of promise that sent a delicious shiver down her spine.Xavier’s head lowered and her embarrassment receded beneath the surge of anticipation as those sensual lips descended towards hers.And then a loud ringing sound came from the other end of the sofa and he tensed above her. It took her a moment to realise that it was his phone ringing.He swore and started to draw away and for a second she wanted to wrap her arms around his neck and pull him down to her and demand that he not answer it.He did answer it. Of course. And she saw his expression change as he listened saw how after a minute he frowned down at her naked and spread eagled on the cushions as if he were only just then noticing her and wondering why a naked woma
The truth was the both had gone beyond polite the way beyond and there was number coming back from it.What he did need to get back was his focus and his concentration on work something that had been woefully lacking in the recent days.With his body still in the state of semi hardened arousal and his thoughts consumed by a certain red head however he knew that there was only one way to make that happen. And that was to finish what he had started on the sofa.Cara head movement behind her and turned from the window Xavier was off the phone. He wore a fresh shirt and matching tie and she noticed he had smoothed his hair.It looks so perfect her fingers hitched with the crazy urge to muscle it up againHe grabbed his suit jacket and put it on and is appointment cleared even though she had already assumed they wouldn't pick up where they had left off.He came towards her and her treacherous body pickled with heat. He looked suave and imperturbable again and as if short minutes ago he had
“I want you too.”“Are you listening, hermano?”Xavier jerked his head up. “What?”Ramon eyed him across the meeting table in his office ,”where is your head today?”Xavier sat forward pushed aside the plate at his elbow and grabbed his painful stop he and Ramon had decided on a working lunch in the office rather than in a restaurant where discussing sensitive matters might be difficult.Raman launched in a chair on the other side of the table. He had rolled up his shirt sleeves removed his tie and loosened his collar. Xavier supposed he should be grateful to his brother had it yet removed his shoes and propped his feet on the table.“First you forget our lunch,” Ramon accused ,”and now you seem incapable of concentrating more than just 5 minutes at a time.”Xavier scowled. “My concentration is fine.” Liar. “What else have you heard about Lloyd anderson?”“Nothing more than what I told you yesterday. He and Reynolds were spotted having lunch together last week in New York. And then An
Cara pursed her lips and then said,” You really think that I am going to tell you anything?”“No I don’t. But I am not above hurting you and you don’t mean anything to me so hurting you is going to be easier and probably be even fun.”“You think you are a man and that is why you are stronger than me?”“There is nothing to question about that. It is a known fact. You are the one who has been kidnapped and not me, so there is actually no point in arguing with me. I can do a lot of things to you, querida and make sure that no one ever finds you again but I am a good man with a good heart. Help me with what I require and I shall make sure you are sent back to Australia safe and sound.”“I know that you are lying. And nothing you say is going to make me believe that..” Cara spat at him as she said the words. Diego wiped his face with the back of his hand and sighed and then back handed her again. Cara knew it was coming and she had already swerved away and his hand did not hit her.She mov
Clubbing is a place for a type of people. Firstly, they had to be rich. Clubbing wasn't a poor man's activity. The cheapest booze inside would be worth twice the expensive brands outside. Everything was outrageously overpriced—not that he cared anyway.Second of all, they had to be a crowd person. Being in an enclosed room full of drunk people isn't exactly a paradise for introverted people. Sure, there wouldn't be much talking. Half of the experience was having conversations you'd barely hear over the booming music, or even remember the next morning because you're wasted as fuck, but there are still people who'd come up to you and talk.So when Xavier saw her, standing awkwardly with her outgoing friend dancing wildly by her side, he knew she didn't belong to this kind of scene. The complete opposite of him; as someone who basically grew up here, Xavier loved everything about the place. It felt like home, more so than any of his mansions, actually.He watched the two women as they he
“I know who you are, Diego. You made the mistake of speaking to me. And now I know that you are the one who is torturing me and has kidnapped me.”There was silence for a while and then all of a sudden the blindfold was taken off from her eyes and Diego was standing there before her in his shirt and trousers. He looked quite normal almost as if nothing had happened and was smirking at Cara.“I am sure you enjoyed that, querida.”“Don’t call me that you freaking bastard. You are nothing else but a vile manipulative..” said Cara as suddenly she was slapped and she could feel her lips split and she was bleeding and she could only feel helpless because her hands were still bound.“Don’t call me names, querida…your mouth was made for far better purposes and not this. You are a lot more important to me that you are ever going to be to my bastard cousin.”“And you are never going to be half the man that Xavier is.”“Whatever you say is not going to make me angry. You are a beautiful woman Ca
Cara struggled desperately, trying to free her hands from the heavy ropes that bound them together behind her back. She couldn’t see anything, thanks to the blindfold which covered most of her face. The ball gag shoved into her mouth prevented her from making much noise at all. When at last she realized the futility of her movements, she lay still and listened.Abruptly she felt the car begin to slow down. Cara’s heart fluttered in fear, wondering where she would be taken. She didn’t have long to wait. Moments later the car rolled to a stop, and a door opened. She was grabbed and hauled roughly out of the car, where she stumbled a bit on unsteady feet. Two hands gripped her shoulders, forcing her to walk quickly and unsteadily forward.She heard a door open. As she stepped through it, her footsteps echoed on what she wagered were hard tile floors. She and her captor proceeded through the room, then stopped suddenly. She heard a bell, followed by the sliding of a door that she realized
Some say, 'From pain comes wisdom,' but Jean had endured a lot over the past weeks and felt no wiser. Her boyfriend left her and it had hollowed out her soul. When she pushed through the door and rang the bell at Trader Dan's, she was hoping to put a bullet in her old life and thumb her nose at the jackass who left her behind.And Trader Dan's is just such a place; where souls are bared, pain will be endured, and whatever healing occurs will be everlasting.As she settled into the proprietor's chair with the tools of the trade laid out neatly on a small table nearby, Trader Dan's resonant voice filled her ears with a tale from another age. It seemed charming but odd to her. Perhaps it was just his effort to entertain his clients or calm frazzled nerves. Regardless, Jean found herself drifting back in time while the man gave her 'wisdom,' prick by prick."Meijuan sang like an angel, and from a very young age her voice would echo in the cavernous St. Ignatius Cathedral in Shanghai. Alth
“Love is really that important for me, Xavier. I know it sounds really stupid to you and you think that if I would just not think about it, things would be better but I cannot imagine spending my life in this way…”“All the time that we spent together, was it that difficult for you? Did you think that I did not care for you one whit? That I don’t wish to make you happy? If this is not all that there is to love then what is it that you want from me?”“Want from you? Xavier, from the moment that I have come here and have stepped into your world I have never wanted anything from. I have just wished for you to know the woman who was my mother and who was your mother as well and you never had the chance to. I never asked you for anything. You showered me with gifts, but those aren’t important to me. Do you know what is?”Xavier remained silent and looked at her darkly.“What is more important to me is the time that you spent with me…not just the love making but all the moments that you wer
Seeing that the stands were filling as the start of the game approached, Ulysses headed toward them to grab and save seats for the rest of the family that would be watching the game while Devon headed for the outfield to call his team into their dugout. At six feet, Alex stood a good head taller than any other player on the team. He looked like an adult being followed by children when the rest of the team fell in behind him as he led them to the dugout.Alex's team would be the visiting team for today's game, so Devon explained the planned batting order to the players before taking his lineup card out to the umpire at home plate. He saw that Aphrodite, Athena, his mother, and mother-in-law had all joined Ulysses in the stands. He heard his daughter squeal when she saw him and paused to wave to her. Athena looked as much like a junior version of her mother as Alex did his father.As had been the trend all season, Alex and his teammates batted around their first at-bat with Alex hitting
She was hopelessly in love.And nothing anyone would say could change the fact ever.Cara stared at Xavier who was sleeping on the bed with his back towards her. Sometime during the night he had woken her up by kissing her and pulling her nipples and then entering her again and again in deep and long strokes and Cara could not do anything but moan and cry out in pleasure.“Come for me, querida…make all those noises for me. You will always know that I was the one who made you cry out of pleasure!”It was so ardently male and so egoistic in nature that Cara thought how could a man be so full of himself, be so arrogant that he was the reason for a woman’s smile or tears. Even though he wasn’t wrong but still, the inherent feministic tendency in her tried saying that this was something that she should let go so easily but looking at him sleeping peacefully after such a night was not something she could agree to. She wished for him to sleep. They had the food that she had cooked and Xavier
"Well, I don't have a fancy car for you to drive to demonstrate my love for you, so I guess you'll have to settle for my undying concern for you and copious amounts of carnal pleasure. That's it! I can drive your Bentley and you get to drive me wild like you did last night."Laughing, Devon said, "That sounds like a win-win. We better get up and start getting ready if we intend to meet your parents on time."Aphrodite didn't move her body from on top of Devon as she reached over to the nightstand and retrieved her cell phone."What are you doing?" Devon asked."I'm texting my mom to let her know to meet us an hour later than we had planned.""Why? Traffic shouldn't be a problem for any of us on a Saturday morning."Finishing her text and returning the cell phone to the table, Aphrodite smiled down and said, "You haven't taken any of my hints, so I'll just have to make my intentions perfectly clear, my love. I intend to verify a suspicion that I have had since waking next to you...""W
