The winter sun filtered through the blinds when I woke. I was naked in the middle of the bed with a pair of quilts covering me. My legs felt sore in the best way.Warm air enveloped me when I finally stretched out of the blankets. There was a small pile of clothes on the corner of the bed, but I only needed the shirt. It must have fit Xavier's long torso, but it was large enough on me to fall at my upper thigh. It was probably old too, judging by the softness of the cotton. Much better than last night's clothes, still crumpled on the floor.Out in the main room, the smell of coffee and the sizzle of eggs instantly roused my appetite. Just a few steps into the room and he was in my sights. Xavier stood tall and lean with his huge frame, flipping a few slices of bread-turned-toast. He was already dressed in jeans and a t-shirt.I felt myself brighten when I saw him. "Good morning, Xavier."Xavier turned, smirked a shy half-smile at seeing his shirt draped on my curves. "Good morning, be
As if that were the signal he'd been waiting for, Xavier straightened. He towered over my perch on the table. But his hands slid up from my outer thighs to my hips and to my waist. They snagged the oversized t-shirt up and over my ribs. He slowed just enough to caress the outside of my breasts then my shoulders.Suddenly I sat naked while Xavier stood fully clothed. My nipples were prominent despite the radiant warmth of the stove. It must have been from how he looked at me as if I were the only woman he'd ever seen.Then he wrapped a hand around each breast, with my hard pink nipples pinched firmly by each thumb. My hips rolled at the touch. Forget a light, hesitant brush. There's almost nothing better than an assertive tug. Still holding my breasts, he knelt in front of the table. His jeans rustled as he settled onto his knees. His mouth found my thigh and worked up towards my heat.I couldn't hold back my need any longer. I leaned back with palms pressed against the tabletop, thrus
At 6:45 AM on Friday they boated his jet on the tarmac in Madrid for their return to Barcelona.Cara had not complained about their early rising but she had looked deliciously flashed and disabled as she had raised around the apartment gathering her things up before the car had arrived. Her last minute rush to pack had been his fault. He had joined her in the shower and pressed her back against the tiles and dumb things to her under the streaming water that had consequently made them both run lead but she hadn't complained about that either.In the final minutes before they had left their apartment she had flown back into the bedroom looking for something and Xavier had spied on her journal on the side table in the living room. It had lain open at a page on which she had written her list of things to see and do in Spain and although he hadn't intended to look one item had caught his eye before he had closed the journal and called out to her that he had found it.The flight crew ready
A little later after two-thirty Xavier stood at the window of his office staring out across the city his mind adrift until the sound of Ramon’s dry half amused voice dragged him out of his head. He had left Cara at the apartment and then come here to the office to get his work done and also or his meeting with his brother but it seemed that his brother had forgotten a lesson in punctuality.“Daydreaming hermano?”He turned short to deliberate look at his watch and raised an eyebrow. “Did you forget to set your alarm?” Yeah and his brother as he sauntered in and sat down in the front desk. “I came to the office from madrid and managed to get here 5 hours earlier than you.”Ramon shrugged unconcerned. “Katie had a bad night which means that Emilia had a bad night. I stayed at the villa this morning to look after Katie so that her mother could rest a bit.”That did not sound like her at all. His sister in law Emilia might look delicate but he knew she was a strong capable woman. Not the
Aphrodite had considered a lot before going for the filing of the case and she knew that it was a flimsy one but she had to do it. Her sister was on her mind a lot for the past few days and she atleast wanted to be able to give her satisfaction that she had been avenged. Now a days, Aphrodite thinks that she should have been better when it came to their relationship and they both were not that different when it came to thinking about their careers. They always had been focused on that and Xavier de la Velga had known her sister better than her. That was the part that spited her the most. She had already used the information that he had given her and that is why she would have to do what he had asked her to."You didn't think it important enough to tell me that one of the executives at Coastline Multimedia was a black woman?" Aphrodite hissed at her client after losing the summary judgment that effectively ended their discrimination case. This had been a "throw-away" case for Aphrodite
Standing suddenly, which pulled her hand from Corrine's, Aphrodite said, "I knew that you would take his side..."She didn't wait for a response but simply stormed away from a shocked Corrine Justice, still seated on the bench in the courthouse hallway.Too riled to return to the office, from both the lost case and from speaking with Corrine Justice, Aphrodite decided not to return to the office that day. She would share the details of the case with Lana some other time.Glad that the condo was well north of the area impacted by the traffic loop, Aphrodite ignored the barricades and other traffic control devices being staged along her route. She would remind her parents to stay away from the affected areas over the weekend since they had historically avoided Myrtle Beach during peak tourist season and had little experience with the challenges they would face if they ventured into the heart of the entertainment area."How'd it go?" her mother, Pandora asked as soon as Aphrodite entered
"No," her mother said, "Nothing. I do remember talking with her about what she was going to put on the baby's birth certificate under the father's name. All she said was that she was going to leave it blank for the time being. Not that she didn't know who it was or anything, just that she wasn't ready to do it yet. Do you understand what I mean?"Aphrodite's mind was drifting, but she paused it and said, "I think so."Pandora asked, "Why the sudden interest in who the father was, or is?"Ignoring the question, Aphrodite asked, "Tell me this, Mom. If you knew who Alexander's father was and you met him, what would you say or do?""Before or after slapping his face?" Pandora growled.Aphrodite smiled and said, "You would have to get in line behind me. I'm going to go change and maybe go sit by the pool for a while Will you text me when Dad and Alex get back?"The condo property where her parents had bought their unit years ago was not designed as a resort, but rather a residential commun
Cara was busy making some lunch for herself and for Xavier as well when he was going to come back to the apartment. He had said in the morning that he had a meeting with his brother which he could not be postponed and started cutting up all the veggies that she knew would be required to make some pasta. It was the one dish that she could manage and could be called restaurant quality. Of course she could not cook like Rosa but she could do something. After going around in Madrid and walking for so long she had been in so much pain that she needed that rest today.But what she did not expect was the doorbell ringing. Xavier had his own key and would not ring the bell and she knew that no one would come to his apartment unless they knew that he had an apartment here. She was wearing a loose fitted pants and crop top and her hair was a mess. But she anyway opened the door and came across a beautiful and elegant woman. From her research of Xavier and his family Cara knew that this woman wa
