Cara paced the full length of the living area at least a dozen times before she was took a deep breath and told herself to calm down.But she couldn't.How could she be calm when she knew that Xavier was going to be furious?.If only she had stayed out a bit longer. Explored a few more of the queen streets in the cities medieval gothic quarter. But the 3 days or full on non stop sightseeing in Madrid and 4 nights of vigorous love making had finally taken their toll. The idea of whiling away afternoon with a book stretched out on one of the loungers by the apartments school along with a bowl of Caesar salad and pasta had been too tempting to resist.And then Xavier’s mother had rung the doorbell and walked in into the apartment.His mother.Her stomach turned into knots she began to peace again her beer feet taking her own another Circuit of the living area and then out onto the sun warmed terrace school stop but the fresh air didn't help. Her mind continued to spin in ever decreasing
“Do you think she guessed that we are?” She felt her face aflame. “You know….”He gave her a glimmer of a smile. “Having a relationship?”Her heart missed a beat. Relationship? Was that how he thought of their affair? She nodded telling herself not to read anything into it.It's just a word.“She didn't ask me outright,” he said. “But I suspect that she guessed.”Cara let out a little groan of embarrassment her gaze darting down to her t shirt and shorts. Selena de la Vega had been pleasant and friendly but what must have she been secretly thinking? That her son’s standards had dropped considerably from the sophisticated women he usually saw no doubt.Xavier as though he had read her mind tilted her chin up and said she thought she you were very beautiful and charming. And very elegant as well.Her eyes widened food she did?Si. He posed his gaze moving thoughtfully over her face for a long moment in fact you have made such an impression she has asked me to invite you to a luncheon at
It was still hard for Devon not to envision a more mature version of Athena every time he saw Aphrodite, but seeing her dressed in a tailored business suit at least offered something foreign to what he had always seen Athena wearing. As stunningly beautiful and professional as Aphrodite looked in her courtroom attire, it was far different from the more casual business dresses and slacks with blouse combinations that Athena had worn while working.The difference that struck Devon most significantly between the sisters was the confidence and self-assuredness that Aphrodite possessed compared to the almost timid and reserved presence that Athena had displayed while around other people. When she and Devon had been alone, Athena was so much more alive. She was decisive and confident; the one to set the pace for their relationship and who made most of the choices for how they would spend their time together.There had been hundreds of times over the past ten years when Devon had wished that
Turning back to face Madison, Hughes said, "You sound like you have witnessed Mr. Justice complimenting others..."Madison laughed, and said, "It would be hard not to. Do you know that Coastline Multimedia has been recognized by several national HR associations in the past few years for our employee recognition and incentive programs? Those are all Devon's doing. Besides weekly, monthly, and yearly recognition of employees from each department for their outstanding job performance, Devon established programs that recognize teamwork, diversity, volunteerism, and several other attributes of employee behavior that make employees feel valued. Devon doesn't stop there, though. He is very hands-on; spending time throughout the organization, and speaking with employees about their lives as well as their jobs. I would be surprised if there were even two employees at Coastline Multimedia who hadn't received a personal compliment from Devon Justice in the last month."Returning his focus to the
"Mrs. Reese," Aphrodite said, "You testified earlier that your intimate relationship with Devon Justice began while you were still in high school and continued on an occasional basis until May 31, 2011, during all or part of which time you both were employees of Coastline Multimedia. Do you remember that testimony or do I need to ask the court reporter to read it back to you?""I remember.""Thank you, Mrs. Reese. I have no further questions, your Honor."Chapter SixteenBarely able to hide her smugness, Aphrodite flashed only a minor glance toward Devon as she returned to her seat.Judge Brunner asked, "Does the defense wish to redirect?"Answering for both attorneys, Wally Hughes said, "Not at this time, your, Honor.""Then we'll take a fifteen-minute break before you call your next witness," the judge announced."I'm going to go to the bathroom," Carlotta said as she rose. TREY and Aphrodite remained seated."Fine," Aphrodite told her client, "But don't talk to anyone without mysel
"I have instructed you and Ms. James to not interrupt or object at any time during the questioning by Miss Lima's attorneys."When Devon didn't continue, Hughes said, "Please explain your reasoning for the court.""Because I believe my vindication of the charges against me as well as the true reason for them will be achieved most effectively if I allow Ms. Hart's agenda to play out uninterrupted.""Is he fucking challenging me?" Aphrodite thought as her jaw dropped. She didn't know how much the judge would allow from her under the circumstances that Devon Justice was establishing for her, but she was certainly going to push things to the limit.Hughes continued, "And you acknowledge that you are giving these instructions against the advice of your legal counsel?""Yes.""Very well. Your Honor, I have no further questions."Judge Brunner held up a hand to stop Aphrodite from jumping to her feet, "One moment, counselor."Addressing Devon, the judge asked, "Mr. Justice, you do understand
Xavier’s POVI slowly surface. Things are turning. I'm lying on my back. I lift my head and turn it towards you. You're on your side, facing me and up on one elbow, a smile on your face. Your other hand is doing things to me that sends my head reeling. "Lay back and close your eyes," you say, "It's taken me ten minutes to get him hard without waking you so just enjoy."I close my eyes, lay my head down and groan. Feeling your fingers doing wonderful things to me, my toes are now in knots. Then you stop, I feel you moving, getting off the bed, "No peaking." you say. Then I feel your hands on my ankles. Pulling my legs apart, I help. The bed moves as you climb on and move up between my thighs. I feel your hot breath on the underside of my cock, making it throb even more. Then the first touch of your mouth. So soft, so warm, so wonderful. Your tongue licks from the base to the tip, and then I feel your hair on my stomach as you tip your head over the top of my shaft. A wonderful warm fee
Xavier’s POVWe pack up and come down to start getting ready for the evenings fun. As we enter the bedroom you stop, turn and face me. A slight frown comes over your face and you say, "I have a bit of a complaint. After this mornings fun I ended up with a hair stuck between my teeth. Now I know you said that you had tried shaving in the past but stopped because you nicked yourself too much, but can I try?"I tried to look shocked, but it doesn't work. "Go on then, but please be careful."So out comes the scissors, shaving foam, razor and towel. Then you start. Within 10 minutes I'm smooth as a baby's bottom, and hard as hell. "Mmmm, nice." you say, with a gentle stroke making him twitch even more. "Now go and get ready and leave me to do what a girl has to do."As usual I'm ready in about 20 minutes so I go and sit by the pool with a glass of wine and watch the sun go down, and wait.I didn't see you come out so you clear your throat. I look around and gulp. You are standing there in
