~ Killian ~
That morning, Killian woke up with the biggest smile on his face. He awoke first and he saw Audrey’s naked body lying next to him and he felt warm. He found himself staring at her for a long while, nothing the curves of her face, her porcelain skin, and her pink rosy lips. It was a feeling that Killian hadn’t felt in a long time. Not even when he was with his ex-girlfriend.
She slept so peacefully as she was probably tired from last night. Killian stirred out of bed slowly and carefully as to not wake her. He picked up his boxer briefs from the floor and slipped them on before turning for the door. He made his way to the kitchen and made his usual coffee. He picked up two mugs and filled them with the lovely brew. When he brought the coffee into the room, he saw that she was waking up. She stirred and stretched before her eyes fluttered open. She smiled when she saw him, and she smiled right
~ Audrey ~What on earth is happening to me?Just moments ago, she lost herself in the heat of the moment with Caspian. She was still reeling from the aftermath, and she hadn’t even figured out what it meant yet. But here she was, finding herself in another unpredictable situation with Killian.I should stop this. This is madness.Her mind had the right idea, but her body wasn’t cooperating. She couldn’t stop the moans from escaping her lips, and her hips were arched fully towards Killian’s skillful tongue. And instead of pushing him away, her hands were locked on Killian’s lush hair, pulling him even closer to her.Or maybe… I should just let it happen.Audrey decided to go with the latter option. Her mind went blank as she surrendered to her body’s desire.
~ Audrey ~Audrey was losing her mind.The past three days had been the craziest days of her life. Not only that she slept with Killian, but she also had sex with Caspian the day after, and she slept with Killian again later that night. Mind you, she was not this kind of girl. But when you were stuck in a house on an island out in Bermuda with two ridiculously sexy brothers that were both into you, what would you do?Audrey did the only thing she could, she kept going about her day like everything was a-okay. She didn’t like confrontation, so rather than talking things through, she pretended like everything was normal and casual.Meanwhile, the brothers seemed to be doing the same thing. Killian and Caspian were an enigma to her. Though they never discussed it with each other, they knew that the other one was sleeping with Audrey as they were sleeping with her. And the
~ Audrey ~Once she was back in her room and away from the tension downstairs, Audrey closed the door shut and threw herself on the bed. She buried her face into the pillow, squeaking breathlessly, hoping it would swallow her whole.Oh God, I don’t think I could keep this up any longer!At first, she thought that not discussing the situation between her and the brothers was a wise thing to do. It would save her the awkward conversation of ‘what are we?’, ‘where is this going?’ and ‘what does this mean?’But now, all the uncertainties were biting her in the ass. She didn’t know how to act in front of both brothers. It was uncomfortable and confusing. She was sweating like a whore in church and her heart was beating so fast, it felt like she was getting a stroke.This is all Ber
~ Caspian ~“Oh my God, I love this song!” Audrey squealed as soon as they entered the club.All the eyes in the room went to Audrey and the Vanderbilt brothers as they made their way to the VIP section. People were watching and taking photos of them, but this was a natural thing for Caspian. He was the player king of New York City, after all. Making a grand entrance into a club was nothing new to him.Everything was new for Audrey, though. Once they were inside the VIP section, she saw a bottle of champagne already waiting for them and she cheered happily. Caspian popped the bottle and the three of them drank merrily. Within minutes, Audrey was feeling the high of the atmosphere and she started dancing to the music. She was mesmerized by the LED lights and pumping beat.Caspian could tell that she wasn’t much of a party girl. She didn’t know ho
~ Audrey ~Audrey knew she was a goner as soon as Caspian’s lips connected with her skin. Her logic and moral compass, all of that were thrown out the window the moment Killian’s fingers rubbed against her slit. A soft moan escaped her lips as her body thrashed and jerked. The brothers took Audrey’s response as a good sign, so Caspian sucked harder on the skin of her neck, and Killian pushed a finger through her panties.This is bad… this is really bad, she said to herself.Killian’s finger skillfully rubbed and circled her clit. His touch was sending jolts of electricity all over her body. Meanwhile, Caspian's mouth was hot and wanting on her skin. He trailed kisses all around her neck and jaw, before landing snuggly on her lips.But also, it’s so good. It’s crazy good. 
~ Killian ~ Killian woke up the next morning with his arm around Audrey’s waist. He was spooning her, and her back was flushed against his chest. Caspian was on the other side, sleeping soundly with his body facing her. Killian let out a deep breath as memories from last night flashed before his eyes. They were at it until the break of dawn. At first, they took turns with her, but finally they were doing it together. Audrey took them both like a champion. He was enthralled by this girl and her fearlessness. He didn’t know this side of her existed, and once he saw it, he couldn’t ever unsee it. And he plans to keep on seeing it. Audrey stirred softly in her sleep, and her leg was grazing against his length. Killian swallowed as he felt his body stiffen. He didn’t dare make any sudden moves. Lying completely still, his gaze then darted to the clock on the wall
- - - - - ONE WEEK LATER - - - - -~ Audrey ~“Girl, you disappeared on us for the 3 weeks! We thought you’d be somewhere in Ukraine by now, kidnapped for ransom or something,” Mikey put a hand up and rolled his eyes dramatically.A week had passed since Audrey’s return to New York City, and her friends were dying to see her. They were doing their routine Sunday brunch this morning, and Mikey and Liv were adamant about getting Audrey to spill the tea. They knew Audrey wasn’t the type of person who’d just disappear for weeks without telling them. Something big must have gone down, except they didn’t know how big just yet.“Guys, I told you, I was taking a short vacation with the Vanderbilt brothers,” Audrey said as she sipped her coffee nonchalantly. “We were getting away
~ Killian ~Killian never knew the true meaning of the phrase ‘dressed to kill’ until tonight. When he saw Audrey walking out of her room in that red silk dress, his breath was caught in his throat. It was a simple dress, but it hugged her curves in all the right places. Killian couldn’t stop staring and Caspian shook his head as his eyes went wild with excitement.“So, what do you think?” she said, smiling sheepishly. Her two friends were walking behind her and they looked like proud parents.“Goddamn,” Caspian muttered and clapped his hands. Then he leaned closer so only Audrey and Killian could hear and said, “If only your friends aren’t here, this dress would’ve been torn off in a second,”“Cas,” she glared at him. “Behave,”“I’ll try my best,”
- - - - - THREE YEARS LATER - - - - - ~ Killian ~ “Alright baby, it’s your first day, are you excited?” “Yes!” Grace squealed in excitement. She was wearing her favorite dress and her hair tied up in a ponytail. She also got her pink backpack and Princess lunchbox with her. Today was her first day in kindergarten. Audrey and Killian were dropping her off in front of the school. Some other kids were crying because they didn’t want their parents to leave them with a bunch of adult strangers, but not Gracie. She was fearless, like her mother. “We’ll be back in a few hours to pick you up,” Killian said and kissed the top of Grace’s head. “Listen to your teachers, be nice to your friends, and have fun,” Audrey added. “Yes, I will!” Grace exclaimed and waved her hands. “Bye, mommy. Bye, daddy!” “Bye, baby. We’ll see you again soon,” Audrey and Killian waved back as Grace raced to the doors. Her teachers were greeting her and she greeted them back politely. “I can’t believe she’s i
- - - - - ALTERNATE ENDING - - - - - ~ Caspian ~ “Daddy, daddy!” Caspian opened his eyes to see Grace looking straight at him. Her little hands that were the size of ravioli were resting on his face. She was tapping him lightly, wanting to wake him up. “Mmhm,” Caspian groaned and turned around. He was teasing Grace on purpose. “Daddy, wake up!” she protested. Taking after his daddy, Grace was a persistent girl. She climbed up the bed and climbed on top of Caspian’s body. He was laughing to himself as Grace struggled and got on top of him. “Daddy!” she exclaimed happily as she sat on Caspian’s chest. “Hey, good morning, you,” Caspian chuckled and opened his eyes in defeat. “Good morning, daddy,” Grace was laughing triumphantly and hugging his neck. “Did mommy send you to wake me up?” “Uh-huh,” she giggled. She had her mom’s smile and that made Caspian smile. “Where is she?” he asked. Grace pointed to the floor, meaning downstairs. “Alright, let’s go get her,” Caspian got
~ Audrey ~ “Sweetheart, you’re making all my dreams come true,” Killian’s words made Audrey’s heart swell. Her eyes softened and glazed over. Her hand reached for his face and her thumb caressed his skin. Their eyes were locked onto each other and she stared at Killian as if her life depended on it. “I love you so much, Kill,” she whispered. Killian leaned down and kissed her in response. His kiss was so tender and deep, Audrey couldn’t help the tear falling from her eyes. She was so incredibly happy. And he was too. She could feel it. “I love you too. So, so much more,” he whispered back. Killian pulled her into his chest and Audrey tightened her grip around his neck. She wanted to feel more of him, so she linked her legs around his waist too. Killian held her entire body up with ease and he carried her up to their room. He laid her down gently on the bed, and he stared at her eyes for a moment as he hovered above her body. Audrey was seeing her entire world in Killian’s pier
- - - - - Six Months Later - - - - - ~ Audrey ~ “Happy birthday to you, happy birthday to you. Happy birthday dear Gracie, happy birthday to you!” The whole room was singing and cheering for baby Grace’s first birthday. She had no clue what was happening though. She was sitting on her chair with a pink dress on, staring at everyone in front of her. Her biggest fans in the world were in the room, her mommy, daddy, grandpa Max, grandpa John, and grandma Anna. Even uncle Mikey, Uncle Sebastian, Auntie Liv, and Uncle Benji were there too. Audrey and Killian invited their closest friends and family to attend an intimate weekend celebration for Grace’s first birthday party. They wanted it to be extra special, so instead of doing a house party at their home in Brooklyn or at the Vanderbilt mansion, they decided to have it in Bermuda, the place that inspired her namesake. The Vanderbilt villa was big enough to house everyone. And out in the garden, Audrey, Mikey, Liv, and Benji had dec
- - - - - Six Months Later - - - - - ~ Audrey ~ Audrey was staring in front of her laptop for the longest time. A word document page full of words was staring back at her. She thought for a moment before her hand reached for the keyboards again. And just as she was about to start typing, she heard a loud cry coming from the next room. Audrey immediately knew what that cry meant. After listening to her baby’s cries for six months, Audrey could tell what she needed just by the way she cried. Getting up to her feet, Audrey quickly went to the nursery. She opened the door to see Killian and Virginia, their postpartum doula, picking up baby Grace from her crib. Yes, following their busy schedules, Killian and Audrey thought it’d be a great idea to have a doula live in their home and help with the baby. Virginia was a highly experienced postpartum doula in her mid fifties. She had great insights and support on infant feeding, infant soothing, and coping skills for new parents. She also
- - - - - One Month Later - - - - - ~ Killian ~ Killian lay in bed that night staring at the ceiling. Not being able to sleep was a normal thing for him, but there was another reason why he couldn’t sleep tonight. Tomorrow was a big day for him and Audrey. It was the day where their baby girl would come into the world. Audrey decided that she wanted to do a homebirth. They didn’t have the best memories the last time they were in a hospital. And Audrey felt most relaxed and comfortable being at home. Dr. Shepherd, who was closely monitoring Audrey and the baby, agreed that home birth would be a viable option. So they set on a date, got all the equipment ready, hired a midwife-nurse, and set aside a hospital transport just in case. Tomorrow was the D-day and Killian was too nervous to sleep. He kept checking the clock to see if the hour hand had moved. Audrey seemed like she was nervous too. It was about eleven-thirty at night and she was usually asleep by now. But tonight, she wasn
- - - - - Two Weeks Later - - - - -~ Audrey ~“Good afternoon, Mrs. Vanderbilt,” the receptionist greeted Audrey politely. It had been a whole month since people started calling her by this name and she still got giddy every time she heard it.“Hi, is Killian done with his meeting?” Audrey was biting her lip to stop herself from smiling too much.“Yes, he’s in his office. Would you like me to call him for you?”“No, don’t call him. I’ll come up and see him,” she said quickly and winked. “It’s a surprise,”The receptionist nodded her head and opened the door to the private elevator leading up to Killian’s office. Since he started working as the head of both the Vanderbilt and Huntington corporations, Killian would divid
- - - - - Two Weeks Later - - - - -~ Killian ~ Two weeks had gone by so fast. Before they knew it, it was already the last night of Killian and Audrey’s honeymoon. Sure, being in Bermuda was great, but Killian enjoyed spending uninterrupted quality time with Audrey the most. He couldn’t care less of what they were doing as long as they did it together. And they did everything together, from exploring around the island to trying out the local food, and visiting historical sites that she liked so much.The days went by so fast, but the nights were a bit more troubling for Killian. Ever since the accident, Killian had been having trouble sleeping. Every time he closed his eyes, he was back at the steering wheel again. He’d try to drive away to safety, but the end result was always the same.Letting out a deep sigh, Killian opened hi
- - - - - Two Weeks Later - - - - - ~ Audrey ~ “Welcome back to Bermuda, Mr. and Mrs. Vanderbilt,” Benji greeted Audrey and Killian with his signature toothy smile. “Thanks, Benji,” Audrey replied. She hadn’t seen Benji, the Vanderbilt’s personal tour guide, since their last visit to Grace Bay two years ago. “It’s been so long since your last visit. Congratulations on the wedding,” he said as he took their luggage and put it in the trunk of the car. “And I am sorry to hear about Mr. Caspian. I cry when I see the newspaper,” “Thank you, Benji. I appreciate it,” Killian replied. Though Benji’s English wasn’t particularly great, Audrey could see the sincerity in his eyes. He must be sad to hear about Caspian’s passing. Whenever he visited Bermuda, Caspian always treated him very well. Benji only wor
