Enzo’s POV Today was awful. It was packed with meetings with difficult clients who refused to budge. I hated dealing with people like them, who have unrealistic expectations about what a firm can do for you. But sadly, they are powerful people, so you need to get them on your side. And thankfully, I had enough experience in this field to deal with such situations. I headed back to my office at the end of the day, ready to go back home when I found my associates seated inside. “Ugh,” I groaned at the sight of them. “Whatever it is, it has to wait until tomorrow morning.” “You’re going to want to hear this.” Mark said. “It’s about Raymond.” I frowned, looking at him, “What? What about him?” “Take a seat.” He said, pushing a file toward me. As I opened it, I quickly read through the contents of it. I scoffed in disbelief, looking up at the both of them for confirmation, “He wants to work with us again?” “That’s right.” I shrugged, “But why? What changed?” “He says a certain som
Cassie’s POVBefore I realized, it was time to go to Miami. Friday was thankfully not a working day this week, so we had all the three days for ourselves. Enzo and I were the last ones to reach the airport, so we didn’t have much time to greet everyone. I was just introduced to Hank’s new girlfriend Tara, and as luck would have it, my seat was right beside hers. She was a shy woman, barely feeling comfortable enough to speak to any of us. I could sense the disappointment in her face when she realized that she would not be sitting beside Hank, but she was too polite to say anything. I quickly picked up on it and asked Hank, “Hey, do you want to switch seats with me? Perhaps Tara would feel better.” He smiled, gratefully. “Thanks, Cassie.” Once Hank took my seat, Tara asked me, “Why did you ask her to move? That’s rude.” “Relax, babe. Cassie suggested it.” He said. Smiling at their conversation, I went in search of my seat, and quickly spotted it. To my surprise, I ended up besid
The villa that Leo booked for us was beautiful. It was situated alongside a private beach property and luckily for us, our bedroom had a direct view of the ocean. As soon as I opened the window, a cool breeze blew across my face. “Wow,” I breathed out in delight, “This is so beautiful.” I turned around to find Enzo already staring at me. I gave him a small smile, “I wouldn’t mind living here forever.” “We can come here whenever you want,” he mused. I laughed, looking back at the ocean. “It must be expensive.” I said, “Moreover, I doubt it will be available that easily.” “It’s our property.” I whipped my head around in surprise, “What?” “I own it.” He said casually. “This is your property?” I asked in surprise. I could only imagine how much it was worth. “I thought we were going to an airbnb?” “I got that booking cancelled. This is much better anyway.” he said, “Don’t you agree?” “Of course.” I said, thrilled at the idea. “I guess I know where we’ll be spending our retirement
“Oh, look at these earrings.” Phoebe exclaimed, her eyes going wide with wonder. “They look beautiful. Can I try them?” “Of course, miss.” The shopkeeper said, assisting her in wearing them. I exchanged an amused look with Tara. It was funny how Phoebe already had two huge bags full of stuff that she spontaneously bought at every shop that we stopped at. So far, there were gifts in their for her parents, her four siblings, their spouses and kids, her colleagues at the office, Leo’s family, and their househelp.“These would look really cute on my cousin.” She said, “I’ll take these.” “We’ll get this packed for you, ma’am. Anything else?” The shopkeeper asked. “And these bracelets please,” I said, handing over a couple of them to the shopkeeper. “It’s for my friend Melissa.” “They look cute.” Tara nodded, appreciatively. “How much is it, total?” Phoebe said, pulling out her card. The shopkeeper scrunched up his nose, “I’m sorry. We only accept cash.” “Cash? But I just ran out of
Enzo’s POV I glanced at my watch once again, heaving a frustrated sigh. The girls were supposed to be home half an hour ago, yet there was still no sight of them. Glancing out into the night, I hoped that their car would pull up any moment now, but no matter how many times I gazed that way, the street was still empty. “Get over here, Enzo.” Leo called, “Have a beer. You haven't had a drink since we came here.” “You guys get started,” I said, pacing about, “I’ll join you later.” “Oh, for god’s sake. Take a chill pill, man.” Hank said, “The girls must be headed home already. There’ll be here any moment now.” “Yeah, you’ve said that at least ten times now.” I said, “yet I don’t see them anywhere near us.” “You know how they are.” Leo said, bringing over a beer to me. “They can get lost in time when they’re shopping. I’m sure that’s why they're late. Don’t worry too much.” “Yeah, let them have fun, Enzo.” Hank said, “They need that break anyway.” I shook my head, “Cassie’s not lik
Cassie’s POV I watched as the wet streets filled up again, people coming out to look at the devastation they had to endure. The merciless rain swept away most of the tents that were set up on the road but thankfully, nobody was hurt. Cold breeze blew across my skin, making me shudder. I have been waiting here for the past ten minutes, and if I had to wait any longer, I was sure that I would fall sick. Right then, I saw a familiar car approach us and I instantly recognised who it belonged to. As I headed outside, Hank, who sat behind the wheel, spotted me, and he slammed on the breaks. The car came to a screeching halt in front of me and the door to the passenger side opened, revealing Enzo’s anguished face. He ran toward me and cupped my face. “Thank god.” He said, planting a kiss on my lips. “Are you okay?” I nodded, shuddering against him. “I am.” “Where the hell did you go off?” He said, his hands falling on my shoulders as he analysed if I was alright. “And your phone’s dead.
“What is your problem, Cassie?” He mumbled, looking at me in absolute defeat. “I’m sorry?” I said. “What are you doing?” He asked, “Is this some sort of a punishment? Do you want me to die of an early heart attack or something?” I widened my eyes at his absurd words. “Enzo, come on. Don’t be silly.” I said, pushing aside a strand of wet hair. Enzo sighed and got up from his place. Fetching a towel, he went to sit behind me and put the towel to my head. Rubbing my head gently, he asked, “Then why are you doing this?” “I’m not doing it on purpose.” I said, “It’s not like my life’s agenda is to trouble you.” “That’s what it looks like to me.” He said, rubbing my scalp with the towel. I didn’t say anything for a while, only let him dry my hair without whatever it was that he was doing. After he was done, threw the towel aside and sat behind me, legs hanging on either side of me. “Why didn’t you wait for the girls at that shop?” He asked, breath fanning against my neck. “Why did yo
I groaned against his lips, and before I knew it, I was straddling his thighs. “Enzo…” I whispered against his lips, “I need you…” “I need you too, darling.” he said, and pulled us both back until he rested against the headboard of the bed. I stared into his fiery eyes burning with desire. Holding his jaw, I dropped soft kisses along his neck, travelling down toward his collar bone. As I climbed back up, his lips seized mine at once, holding them captive. Right then, his hands travelled to the sash of my robe and gently tugged at it. The loose cloth came apart at his mercy, parting to reveal my torso. Without breaking the kiss, Enzo’s hand travelled in to graze the skin of my chest, his fingers quickly spotting my erect nipple. “Ugh!” I groaned as he pinched at it hard. Breaking away from the kiss, I looked at him. He smirked as he saw my face, “That good?” He said, “How about this then?” He proceeded to pull the robe away from my mound and dipped his head to take my nipple int
I lost track of time as I fell into bliss. By the time I found my way back to Enzo’s lap, I was utterly exhausted, yet not satisfied. “Tired already?” He said, brushing some wet strands away from my face. “Shall we go to bed?” “No.” I said in a stern tone, fixing him with a glare. “Get your hands off of me and let me do my thing.” He gave me an amused look and watched me struggle against him. He then stabilised my hip, and that’s when I found the chance to wrap my hands around his dick. And then, I slowly guided it toward my slit. “So wet, baby.” He said, taking me in for a kiss. “Always.” I said, and gently started rubbing against him, coating his length with my wetness. I could feel it harden with every stroke, his breath growing heavy with each passing second. When he had had enough, Enzo gripped my grips tightly, forcing me to freeze. Then, he took his dick and thrust it into my vagina. “Ah!” I groaned as he suddenly filled me up with his girth, digging my nails into his sho
