Kenna

My mother places a hand to her mouth, the color drains from her face. “What? What do you mean Violet knows about the baby?”

I take a seat next to my mother and put my hands around her hand on her lap. Tears spring to her eyes, and my heart feels sad for her. “I have no idea how she knows, Mom but she told me she knew that I had a baby and was at a private place in Switzerland.”

“But that’s impossible, nobody except you and I knew about it. Not even Isaac knew. He thought you were going on a long, extended trip to Europe and spending time with friends in Switzerland.”

I let out a sigh and blow a strand of hair away from my face. “What are we going to do about it? What if she talks? What if Isaac finds out?” What I don’t say out loud, is how will Dante feel about me if he discovers I have had a child by a professor from college, and gave my baby up for adoption. Oh, God this is such a mess. But I had no choice, well actually thinking about it now, I did have a choice.

However, my

    XanderI am drained as I drink yet another glass of strong, malt whiskey. It’s the finest you can buy, around five hundred dollars a bottle, but hell I need it right now. Violet was okay when I left her a couple of hours ago. The nurse said I should come home and get some rest, which reluctantly I did. I am still mad as hell at Kenna and walking out on Violet like that and nor will Violet tell me what went down. She got so distressed and turned on the tears that the nurses actually forbid me to talk to her after that.Whatever is going on, I will find out. There has to be a way and I am good at getting what I want after all. It’s dark and lonely, I ought to turn on some lights and put them on the dim setting but you know what, I can't be bothered. Part of me is missing Kenna being around, even though we’ve been divorced for a month or more now, I really do miss her. Why? I have no idea. And why I constantly think about her is beyond me too. It’s confusing the hell out of me.Is it be

    KennaIt’s been a week since I came back from the hospital and talked with my mother. And as I thought, we haven’t spoken about it again since. It hurts me that my own mother, the grandmother of my child, is not supporting me in any way to find out about my daughter. Isaac seems also to be around more at the moment, now that he has finished his European tour and has a couple of weeks back here in Manhattan. I’m sitting in the office staring at my computer when I should be working. It’s been a hectic week and I am so pleased that it’s a Friday. I plan to go out with my best friend, Elsie, to let our hair down. It’s been ages since I’ve hooked up with and I am ready to party. We plan on going to a private club that is for celebrities, sportspeople and the very rich and famous only. Elsie is beyond excited since she doesn’t come from money and never frequents places like this unless I take her.Of course when I was married, I never got the opportunity to go out much, Xander didn’t allow

    KennaIt was such a long day in the end and I am so tired but I can’t let Elsie down. I have had my driver take me to her house where we will get ready like old times. “Hey you made it, I thought you would never get here,” Elsie throws her arms around me, I inhale her strawberry fragrance, it must be her shampoo or conditioner. “I know, right? The day just went on and on. Isaac called a board meeting I had to attend, then I had a team meeting which put me two hours behind. We’re also designing a new label and I have to get stuff organized for the meeting in Napa soon.”“Oo, Napa, I’d love to go there. I don’t suppose you could fit me in your suitcase could you?” She giggles as she leads me through her apartment which is on the ground floor with a small patio area out the back. “You could come if you wanted to and do some sightseeing, whilst I have my meetings and we could go out for dinner when I’m done for the day. Although, I will have to do at least one dinner with the client to

    XanderSeeing her with some guy on the dance floor has made me see red. RED. I can’t stand it any longer, blood pumps around my body fuelled with anger and jealousy. Since when do I ever have a jealous rage ? But her being so close to that dude is seriously irking me. My fists are balled by my side until I slam my neat whiskey back and go to her.I have been watching her with that friend of hers, sitting there looking so damn hot and beautiful that it made my breath catch in my throat. She never dressed like that when we were together, but then we never went out to clubs or parties only to galas when she was expected to dress high end and demure. Seeing her like this in her short dress showing off all her curves has got my pulse racing. I storm over to her and tear the man off her, “Kenna what the fuck are you doing you slut?” She looks at me, her mouth gaping open.Shit, did I just call her a slut? What the hell has gotten into me? I am never like this. And calling her a slut, that i

    Kenna“Holy cow, was that Xander on the dance floor?” Elsie asks me, definitely tipsy. I check the bottle of Krug and yes she has had a fair amount to drink. “Yeah, he was being a dick because I was dancing with some guys. You know I liked that guy a lot.” I sigh and take a long drink of my champagne. A waiter hovers near us. “Can I get you ladies another drink?” “Yes please, just a glass each, we’re nearly done for the evening. You can charge everything to the Bodega account.” He nods politely and moves away towards the bar. Carl, my bodyguard, goes back to standing discreetly behind us, not within earshot. “Oo, sounds like Xander is jealous. The calm, cool and collected Xander has got himself in a rage. That’s almost hysterical.”“Nothing about the situation is hysterical, Elsie. Listen, I think you’ve had way too much to drink. Say we go home. You can have a sleepover at mine if you want.”“No, I’m not ready to go, Kenna. I want to let my hair down and kick up my heels and have

    DanteKenna was clearly a bit on the drunk side when she got home last night, her face again was strained and all I want is to see her happy and smile.It hurts my heart to see her always on the brink of extreme stress, like she has the weight of the world on her shoulders all the time. I know being an heiress to a fortune and an empire like Bodega wines is no small calling but she needs to be able to go out and have fun and let her hair down. Only, when she came in last night she looked as pinched as she had done when she was back from the last hospital visit.I asked her what happened at the hospital but she won’t tell me and now my stepmom is acting all weird too. Her eyes are always red like she’s been crying. A lot. Why won’t anyone tell me what the hell is going on around here?All I wanted to do was take Kenna in my arms and hold her tight, yet I know it’s wrong I am her stepbrother after all. It’s the weirdest thing because it seems the way I feel for her Kenna these days is so

    KennaAfter breakfast I excuse myself, I have to find out what Xander is up to and I hope to God that Isaac does not put me in charge of Xander's new label and wine. Besides, I already have enough on my plate. “Morning, Sis.” Harless passes me on the sweeping staircase, she looks all fresh as a daisy this morning with her blonde hair up in a high ponytail and well perhaps a bit too much makeup, but hell you know my mother and Isaac pretty much let her get away with anything. “Good morning, Harlee. What’s on your agenda today?” “College, it sucks. Honestly, why do I even have to go? I’ve got enough money from dad.” She frowns. I chuckle. I was desperate to get a job and have my own money. So dumbly desperate that when I saw the first opportunity from Xander, I took it and now look what happened. A divorcee and only in my early twenties with nothing to show for it but a relatively healthy bank balance. “You need to study, Harlee if you want to help run the business one day.”“You are

    XanderiIt’s been two days and still I have not heard anything from Kenna. We had a meeting scheduled in Napa where I know from Isaac she was heading and I have business to discuss. I’m keen to get this new blend of wine into my hotels and charge a fortune per bottle and she is designing the new label. I can only imagine how Kenna will not be liking the fact that we have to work together.Little known to her, I advised Isaac that I would not do business with him unless he put Kenna on the job. And of course, Isaac being the businessman that he is, did not want to lose out on this opportunity, it’s worth over a million dollars to him.Why do I want a new label and blend of wine from Bodega when I could ask any wine house for this? Because it’s the only way that I can think of to get anywhere near Kenna. The woman is living rent free in my mind at the moment. She is consuming all my thoughts. I am distracted beyond belief and I am kicking myself in the balls for being such a jerk and l

    DanteI see her before she sees me as she enters the restaurant. Wow, Kenna is breathtaking as she strides in like she owns the place. Her head is held high, her shoulders back and her whole demeanour screams, I am rich, powerful, sexy and confident. I like it. She has changed since this morning and I have to admit seeing her in a navy pencil skirt to her knees showing off all her curves is giving my dick strong ideas. The man shows her to the table. I’ve chosen a romantic spot by the back where we will be private. A few heads turn as she walks towards me. I am not surprised. Kenna will always draw attention. “Dante,” she kisses me on both cheeks. “Thanks for waiting, sorry I am a bit late. Things ran over with my mother, you know how she can be. She seems to think I should be bringing a nice young man to her charity gala event.”I chuckle and raise an eyebrow. “You mean me, of course! Fuck everyone else, Kenna. I will be the man taking you.” The waiter holds out the chair for her

    Kenna“Is this true? How can it be? Oh my God, Mother, do you know what this means?” She nods, a small curve upwards on her lips. “It changes literally everything. But shit, what a lie to have kept secret for all of Dante’s life. How do you suppose he will react?”“I have no idea, Kenna but it is wrong that Isaac has done this. Dante should have known years ago the absolute truth. Whatever came over Isaac at that time is beyond me.”“But seriously, Dante is going to be so pissed at Isaac. It will drive a wedge between them surely. How could Isaac have possibly done this?”“Who knows what went through his mind back then, all we can do is let Dante know, Kenna. Clearly Isaac has no intention of ever saying anything. When he dies will be when Dante finds out and what a shock that will be. He won’t even have the time to talk to Isaac about it. His head will be reeling with disbelief.”I swallow the lump in my throat at the thought of having to tell Isaac what I have just read. I take a si

    KennaWhat would my mother know about Dante and what is in the will she has clearly now found? I need to know, only it is the early hours of the morning. Dante gives me a quizzical look.“Is everything okay? You are looking strange,” he slides his omelette on his plate then takes a seat next to me. “I, er. Yeah sure. My mother has some news for me. I won’t be able to stay long in the morning. I need to go and meet with her. Give me a second. I need to message her back.” He raises an eyebrow.“What, she is awake at this hour?” I nod to confirm that indeed, my mother is awake. Not one for being a night owl it is of course very strange. Thus it must be seriously important. I message her back. Can you tell me over the phone? I wait and see the bubbles come then disappear, then more bubbles. No, Kenna. You must come to the house immediately in the morning. I am free at eight since I have the charity event to organize and meeting with some of the women to discuss it at ten. Do not be lat

    Kenna“Fuck my father, baby. We are adults, we are not blood related and we can do whatever we like. Besides, he daren’t disown you now. Not with Xander signing the lifelong agreement. Didn’t you mention that Xander has stipulated it only stands if you remain heiress?” “True, but you know he’ll still give us a lot of shit.”I feel Dante shrug behind me. “Let him get on with it. He won’t be in power soon in any case. He is talking about retirement.” I turn and lay on my back, Dante has his arm around me cradling me into his chest. He smells so masculine, I trace my fingers along his impressive pecs and down his washboard abs. I want to lick every inch of him but first I need something to eat. As if reading my mind he says, “hungry?”“Absolutely, what do you have in?” “Well, let’s go check out the kitchen. First, I need to get you a warm towel to clean yourself up with. Are you sore, baby? Was I too rough?”“What, no way. I loved it. I mean I can feel you stretched me some, but hone

    KennaHe flips me round, my stomach lays flat on the bed. I feel his strong hand come up under me to bring me up onto all fours. “Your ass looks damn fine, Kenna,” Dante says as he slaps it. The sensation stings yet sends ripples of excitement through my body. I moan, he slaps my ass again. I feel his lips on the base of my spine as he gently kisses me and swirls his tongue around my lower back. His tongue is warm, sending shivers throughout my body.Dante places a hand underneath me by my right hip bone and digs into the fleshy area, oh wow, the feeling is not one I have felt before. It sends an instant message to my groin, curling it in tight coils. “That feels so good,” I tell him and push back with my ass to try and make contact with his rigid cock.Then I feel him running his cock head down my ass and lining it up to my slit. “I want you inside me, Dante,” I hiss. He slaps my ass.“Don’t be so impatient, Kenna. I want to take my time with you.” I growl at him. He chuckles. His

    DanteShe looks like a dream with her dark hair splayed all over the pillows and her fingers shoved inside her cunt. The way her mouth opens and she screams my name over and over, letting her orgasm control her makes me harder than I have ever been before. This woman will undo me and I don’t give a shit. I want her. I want Kenna Bodega to be my everything. Literally. My cock is aching like fuck and my balls are killing to be released of my cum. Not yet. First, I want to dive my head between those creamy thighs of hers and feel them tightening around my face as I bring her to orgasm number two. Only, her tits are magnificent, full, firm and her nipples. Fuck Man, I can’t stop sucking on them. I could bite them off, simply delectable.She gasps as I feel her long fingers go through my hair. “Holy shit, Dante. What the fuck was that?” I chuckle as I pop a nipple releasing it from my warm mouth. “Did you orgasm good, beautiful?” “Yes, oh my gosh, I can’t believe it was out of this wor

    KennaOh, his dirty words make me tighten and coil even more. I am not used to a man with a dirty mouth but fuck, I like it. The kids I went with in college before I met the professor were all tame shall we say. And the professor, well he was an infatuation and not a man like Dante with his strong, masculine body.“Put your fingers inside you, baby,” he tells me, his eyes hooded, the irises so dark that his eyes look almost black. His desire is evident all over his face, spurring me on and turning me on more than I could have imagined.My heart is racing, I can feel the pressure mounting in my ears as I lower my fingers to my slit. I am so wet, I can feel my slickness dripping onto the sheet underneath me. Easing my fingers into my pussy, I gasp. Every nerve ending is on fire as I push in further and move my fingers slowly in and out.“Get undressed,” I tell Dante as he holds his hand over his package in his pants. “It’s not fair that I am the only one naked here.

    KennaThe driver eases the car in through the wrought iron gates of Dante’s property. A tingle passes through my body at the mere thought of being with him. It has been an extremely long day and Xander was the perfect gentleman. He kept checking everything was okay with me and offered for me to leave the Dallas tour early. Which I took him up on. He will fly to Chicago this evening and be shown around and introduced to everyone tomorrow. Thereafter, there are a couple of down days before he flies down to Georgia where I am to meet him. This is a good thing because my people have put feelers out and done some investigations and I happen to know that the adoptive family of my daughter, have a residence in Georgia. I have a phone number and tomorrow I will plan to call them. My lawyer said it would be best if he were to contact them, but I insisted that seems way too formal and may alarm them. Personally, I think contacting them is a more amenable approach. Lawyers often scare people hal

However, I am fuelled with seeking revenge but first I must get this site visit out of the way and then I can go back home to Dante. I cannot wait to see him and feel him hold me close and offer me comfort. My phone beeps, I check. It is Xander.How are you feeling this morning? I can go to the site on my own, you do not need to come with me.I am fine, aching and sore but I will meet you in thirty minutes. We still have time, I am just running a bit behind. I overslept.Np. See you in the foyer in thirty. And Kenna, please don’t worry too much about today. I will speak with Isaac this morning in order to resolve all the issues surrounding the contract. I didn’t have much sleep last night, I was on to my lawyer and representative to rewrite the contract.I let out a sigh of relief, thank God. Because there is no way I could go back to Xander and having g
