Turning away from the stunning view Cara went inside and took a shower in the massive ensuite bathroom and afterwards pulled on a pair of Navy dress jeans and a short sleeved white gloves she hadn't thought to ask Rosa about the dress code for dinner and she had never died with a billionaire in his home before so smart casual seems to be the safest option.

After dying her hair into a loose not at her neighbor she checked the time and decided to make an appearance 10 minutes earlier than Rosa had recommended. If her host was a stickler for punctuality she would rather be early than be even a minute late.

The villa was so big she took 2 wrong turns on her way to the formal dining room before she finally located it bossing in the hallway she touched a hand to her hair and took a deep breath and then walked into the room Rosa was there and then Cara smiled at her then shifted her girls to the long dining table and the single place setting at one end.

    Assuming Cara was travelling somewhere not far behind he didn’t slow his pace nor did he glance over his shoulder until he reached the doorway where he finally paused and looked back. Only to see that she was nowhere in sight.His mouth flattened.Infernal woman.He dumped his briefcase on the desk return to the hallway and cast an impatient look down its vast empty length.Finally just as he was beginning to consider the possibility that she had decided to defy him emerged around the corner at the far end of the hall when spotting him waiting hurried towards him on those long shapely legs.She stopped in front of him panting a little each breath moving her firm high breasts up and down.He gritted his teeth. don't look.“Did you get lost?” Xavier asked dryly.“Of course I got lost.”Her snapped response made him drawback a fraction.

    So incendiary.Because even knowing Cara’s pride was at serious risk she couldn't pretend those little detonations of heat that occurred beneath her skin when she was near him weren't disturbingly real.It was all very well trying to ignore her bodies’ response to him but today she had stood in his office and found herself on the receiving end of a very frank and very masculine appraisal the inevitable flash of heat and awareness that had been so overpowering she had feared he would see some evidence of it.Even more disturbing had dreamed the trick her imagination had played on her. Or maybe it had been a trick of light reflecting in those cool grey eyes that had for a brief moment made them look blisteringly hot and molten.To unbalance her completely there had been movements when his hostility and surliness had abated and they kind of dry reluctant amusement had surfaced.It was all terribly confusing.And overwhelming.And no wonder her stomach was jumping with nerves as she made

    Luckily the meat was exceptional unlike her floundering conversational skills full but how did one backpedal from loveless marriages and children to polite inconsequential small talk?“Why did you become a nurse?”Xavier’s deep voice carved through the heavy silence and Caraa lifted her eyes startled by the fact that he had spoken as much as by the question itself.“How do you know that I am a nurse?”“Rosa mentioned it.”So he had a conversation about her with his housekeeper? Or maybe Rosa had just mentioned it in her passing. Rosa had told her and Alphonso's only daughter was a nurse married and working in Berlin so Cara had naturally mentioned that she too was a qualified nurse.“It's the only job I ever wanted to do. Right from when I was a small child,” she said smiling because she couldn't not smile when she talked about her chosen profession.Taking care of people wasn't just what she did it was who she was. Who she had been from the day her mother had walked out and her bewil

    Cara’s eyes widened although weather in surprise at the apology or the dominating touch of his hand he didn't know.Whatever the cause it didn't erase the look of stubborn pride from her face. “You only want me to stay because you don't trust me.”Xavier dropped his hand from her chin and before the urge to drag the pad of his thumb across her bottom lip to see if it felt as lush and soft as it looked grew too strong to resist.“That's not true.”It wasn't lie.She was an unexpected. From the moment she had turned up at his offices the other night spouting the outrageous claim that she was his stepsister through to today when he had come home and discovered her laughing and dancing with his staff he had felt as if his carefully controlled world was gradually shifting beneath him.And tonight somehow she had turned even the act of sharing a meal into an unpredictable affair. How the hell they had ended up talking about marriage and children and love of all things that singularly destru

    The scenery along the stretch of coastline known as Costa Brava was breathtaking. Cara had grown up in a small coastal Township South of Melbourne so she was used to ocean and beaches but the glittering shores of the Mediterranean were in a different class altogether. Each time the sleep convertible powered around another bend and in new stunning vista open up before them she couldn't suppress little gasp of awe.Another one caught in her throat now and Xavier glanced over from the driver seat.“Spectacular, si?”He was spectacular. As riveting as the scenery infected jeans and a loose fitting white shirt with an open collar and rolled out sleeves stubble shaded lit his jaw and she liked this edgier look on him. He wore dark sunglasses and his thick black hair was roughly deliciously thanks to the cars open top.Every time she looked at him her breath went a little choppy but it was the moments when he smiled and his mouth loose end and those deep attractive grooves appeared in his le

    “Look who is lecturing now,” she said lightly attempting to cover her silly over reaction to a couple of abrupt marks. “It's kind of nice though,” she added settling back against the seat and casting him a sideways glance. “You being all protective. When I was little I used to dream of having a Big Brother who would look out for me..”He's jaws tightened. “Cara.” He warned in a low gravelly rasp that should have deterred her but instead sent a hot quiver through her belly.Catching her tongue between her teeth she bit down literally on the reckless impulse to see how far she could push him in this mood. Chances where his ground was worse than his bite. But she was not brave enough to find out.An hour later Xavier leaned against the side of his car ankles crossed arms folded over his chest full his mind stuck on a single word like a turntable needle stuck on scratched vinyl. He clenched his jaw.If what Cara provoked in him was protectiveness it sure as hell wasn't of the brotherly va

    Two hours later, Cara sat in the shade of a pergola in Miriam and Benito Gozalez’s quaint cottage garden, looking through the pile of photos that Miriam had brought to the table with a tray of coffee and sweet treats to finish their meal.The men had finished their coffee and disappeared 15 minutes earlier. Benito had asked if he could look in the Aston Martin having noticed the car through the shop window when they had first driven into the village full Xavier had gotten one better and offered to take him for a short spin.Cara’s insides had melted the tiny bit. She had always and almost wanted to hug him. For his kindness to the older man. For letting her do this. For keeping the scowl off his face and remembering to smile every now and then.“You all look so young,” she said looking and studying the old wedding photo. “And you and Matilda both look so beautiful, Miriam.”Sitting beside her table Miriam smile. “Tilda was beautiful and clever. She altered my mother's wedding dress fo

    Cara retraced her steps and then went down to brush off her feet and sleep her sneakers back on. She had just finished tying her laces when a football hurtled up the beach towards her a tall shirtless young man in hot pursuit. Automatically she stuck her foot out to stop the ball and its pursuers he did to a halt right in front of her full.He's took to retrieve the ball as he straightened his guys and travelled up her body taking her in with unabashed interest from angles to her face. He grinned at her and she couldn’t help but green back he had the ripped physique of a man but she guessed he was in his late teens and he was hardly threatening.“No hay problema,” she said borrowing a phrase that she had you heard Rosa use.Her young admirer cocked his head, long dark hair flopping in his eyes. “You’re English?”“Australian.”“Ahh. Home of koalas and kangaroos, si?” She laughed. “Yes.”His grin broadened. “And beautiful women.”Cara laughed again shaking her head at his cockiness. H

    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.

    “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
