BLAINE
Camila hired a team to make the bride-to-be looked stunning. It led by Antoine who was humming in the enormous bridal suite to Bianca’s favorite song. The entire room smelled roses—her favorite flower plus there were roses everywhere in different colors and sizes— I could see Cam pampered her so much.
She raised the Champagne flute in her reflection through the mirror with the most beautiful smile I’ve ever seen from her, then gushed, “I’m getting married, sissy!”
Normally, when talking about marriage it made my stomach twist and shoot a searing pain in my heart, but today it was my sister’s day and I couldn’t be any happier for her than anyone in this world.
Unlike me, it was like bringing disgrace to my family for having a kid out of wedlock, but my family was supportive, accepted Ben, and loved him unconditionally.
I took the Champagne flute from her hand, smiling back. “You’re getting married, future Mrs
XANDRYMy sister walked to Cam and Blaine with a huge smile on her face. I prayed inwardly and hoped she was not going to spill embarrassing stories about me.Focusing back to the woman in front of me, Megan giggled when I mentioned about Finley, though she stole glances more to Riley than him.“I’m not sleeping with a country guy,” she protested.“And why is that?”“It would be hard for us even for a booty call, duh.” She rolled her eyes, sipping her drinks.I smiled broadly. “But you like him.”Her brow raised in disbelief. “You’re serious about it? Since when you’re doing a matchmaking thingy?”“I am not. Look, Meg, give him a chance. He’s a good guy.”“And he looks like have a huge dick.”I barked into laughter, shaking my head in amusement. Seriously, this woman never filtered her mouth. “There is only one way to find out.” I stood up. “See you later, Meg.”“Go, get your gir
BLAINE Oh God, this was a total disaster!My head was pounding and my throat was dry. I opened my eyes and wandered around. I’m definitely not in my room. This was way bigger than mine, but I saw my suitcase beside the door. I was about to drag my feet out of the bed when I noticed I was wearing the same dress. How the hell did I get in here? I was pretty sure I was dancing with my cousin and drinking at the bar, then I just fell in love with that drink and I couldn’t just stop drinking until I felt the effect of the alcohol on my system and it was too late to stop. I lied back down and stiffened when I smelled the pillow.Damn! How can I forget this smell?The same smell when I knocked on his door and the same smell when I danced with him last night. Sitting straight on the bed, I felt suddenly dizzy. I massaged my temple when I noticed a shadow hovering over me. I slowly
XANDRYWhat the fuck was I thinking back there? And she just shrugged, asking me back the same question with sarcasm. I like her, that was for sure, otherwise, I’m not doing all this shit that I’ve never done before. And whatever this tension between us I knew this was just sexual frustrations and nothing couldn’t do with jacking off or a woman to scratch my itch when my deal with Saph was over. But every time I thought of another woman made my stomach twist and my cock didn’t show interest.Blaine was devastatingly sexy, but why am I not jumping on her yet? Ridiculous, wasn’t it? She was like a forbidden fruit on my reach but protected with an unbreakable shield. And her focus was on raising her child and not some sick relationship with someone like me. So, I’m a goner.The fact that I’m not breaking a deal with Saph made me believe that I had actually self-control over temptations
BLAINEOh, my God!I couldn’t believe Xandry brought us here in the Marina. I’ve seen sailboats and ships but not a real yacht—A luxurious, world-class freaking yacht.Damn rich people!“Hey guys, I’m here!” Saph called out, waving her hand on us.I thought all the rich city girls were bitchy, gladly, Saph was not one of those people. She was funny, smart, outspoken, and babbly. I could totally see the female version of Xandry on her.“Blaine!”Oh hell, no! can I go home now?No matter how I wanted to experience this yacht, the insecurities hovered over me like thick, dark smoke. She was not just gorgeous like her brother, but she was the definition of perfect, wearing hefty price tags of dress and just her bag, oh, Lord, I’ve been drooling over it for a month now since I first saw at the official global site.“Saph.” We instantly hugged, kissing each others’ cheek
XANDRYThe Harrises and I settled at the bar lounge. Talking about business was not the best topic I wanted to indulge when I was on the yacht, but that was what the oldies were enjoying at this moment while I was currently mind-fucking Blaine.The Harris’ twins were already at the spa room with the best masseuses with the relaxing androgynous scents of sophisticated oil mixed of sandalwood, violet, and vanilla, or probably the sensual aroma of the sweet almond oil.Saph and Blaine were lounging at the deck—their faint laughter was tempting me enough to join them, but that was their girls’ time.One of the reasons why I brought them here was to spend time with Blaine and not sitting in front of these oldies while listening to the topics out of my interest, but I was not to be disrespectful, was I?My girls walked inside with still a smile on their faces. Blaine’s eyes gl
BLAINEThere was no denying that my attraction toward Xandry was on top of the universe, and I could see in his eyes that he felt the same. He was under my skin since I met him, and yet, I kept pushing him away for being scared of hurting myself again. Now, I was sure I couldn’t or rather wouldn’t push him anymore.I felt lighter that despite me having a kid, he still wanted more than sex with me—he wanted a relationship. There was nothing wrong with giving myself another chance to be happy, right? Besides, that was a long time ago, and I couldn’t hold grudges against someone who had nothing to do with my miserable past relationship.It’s unfair.“Sweetheart, what’s in that pretty head of yours?” He stopped kissing my neck, leaning his hands against the back of the door of one of the suites, and caged me in his powerful arms. His eyes bore into mine, still swimming wit
XANDRYAfter hearing Dad’s faint deep voice telling me to come in, I walked inside. He was sitting behind his glass top desk. His office was modern and boring surrounded by glass walls. There was no decoration other than his chair, the desk, two chairs in front, a small coffee table, and a single file drawer. No family photos, paintings on the wall, nor rags.Alexander Phoenix Williams had a principle that family would come first, and he made sure to leave the office on time and spend time with us. He had a high ceiling symmetry dark-stained wood office and library at home he shared with Mom. My mother, Samantha collected all the books published by her publishing house plus the books she had when she was young. She was also a fantasy-adventure author under the pseudonym of Hanna Andry.Dad’s fingers were linked together on top of his desk without uttering a word.“Hey, Dad,” I
XANDRYRiley was so damn ecstatic when I sent a quick text before my flight to pick me up at the airport. I just wanted to surprise Blaine and now this dude was hugging me and kissing my cheek.“Stop it, I don’t want these folks to think I will fifteen you.” I wiped my cheek playfully and wrinkled my nose.He laughed loudly and got back to his truck after I loaded up my suitcase and two paper bags in the back seat. “So, Blaine doesn’t know you’re coming, huh? And how long will you stay?”My stomach sank that I had only a weekend with her. “Two days.”“And you’ll travel back and forth like this?” He pulled out of the airport parking lot.“I have a job there, so yeah.”“Blaine avoided relationship since you know, but I’m not blind not to see what’s between you two...” he trailed off, and this was what I was not good at— a confrontation between man to man over a
