Wait what? Is Violet stalking her? And what about Kenna's thoughts about both Dante and Xander, what is going to happen there? xo
KennaI clench my fists and feel like screaming. Anger bubbles inside my stomach to my chest, my driver glances in his rearview. I smile not letting him know what inner turmoil I am experiencing right now. If Violet was anywhere near me I would for sure slap her and shake her. Is she following me? Why would she even do that? What is wrong with this woman? She’s like a bad taste in your mouth you just can’t get rid of. Exasperated, I message her back.And what exactly did I get up to this evening you fucking bitch?I have pictures of you leaving Macey’s with your whore best friend, who sleeps with so many men it surprises me she has no diseases. And you were with two hockey players.Why are you having me followed?Don’t be pathetic, Kenna. I want the rest of the money. I stare at the phone wanting to slide the window down and throw it out. You have no right having me followed, it is an invasion of my privacy. You are stalking me, I can have something done about that, Violet. You shoul
Dante“What are you two both doing up so late?” I came down to get a glass of water, having had a dream about Kenna. It woke me up with a raging hard on that I found myself taking my throbbing cock in my hand and masturbating myself until I exploded my hot cum all over my stomach. It unsettled me to have a dream about my stepsister, her gorgeous body and those kissable lips of her.Shaken to the core I had to get up and clean myself then brought myself down to get some water and calm myself the fuck down. And there she is sitting with her mother in the lounge, the fire glows like an orange light around her making her pale complexion look like fine porcelain. And don’t even get me started on the dress she is wearing, fitting to her sexy curves. What the hell is going on with me? She’s my stepsister, it’s disturbing me. “Dante, what are you doing up?” My stepmother asks me instead of answering my question. I mean why is she up at nearly two in the morning? “I came down for a glass of
KennaHoly fuck what was just happening between Dante and I? Like I’ve been burnt with a piercing flame I move away from him just as he backs away from me. My mother is glaring from one to the other, her eyes narrowed and shooting daggers. If looks could kill, both Dante and I would be fried right now.“Nothing is going on, Mother. What is wrong with you?” Only what did actually happen? There was a connection, my body flamed up, my core warmed and the tingling that ran up and down my body wasn’t like anything I’ve ever experienced before, not even when I was close to Xander the last time. “You two were looking a bit too close in my opinion, you do know you are step siblings don’t you?” “Of course, I do. What do you take us for? Are you okay, Mother?”“Don’t you try to turn this on me. I saw you both. Dante, explain yourself why were you that close to Kenna? I want an answer now.” My mother is using that tone of voice she would use when we were much younger and she was mad as hell a
XanderAsia was a good trip, I am beyond excited with the fact that the Staniopolis name will now be entering a new phase and we are expanding into this region starting with Japan. I have a good team who are willing to help support me and the building will be out of this world, one of the tallest. I also have plans to have a place more in the countryside, a spa retreat an exclusive of course.The flight back to New York was filled with me working on the contracts and looking over a schedule that Kenna has sent over for our tour of the Bodega wineries throughout America. It’s packed but nothing I can’t handle although I would have preferred for at least a week back home to catch my breath. Nonetheless, we depart tomorrow, no peace for the wicked as they say. I want the new label and to be able to offer something exclusive to my guests in the hotels. And I get to spend more time with Kenna.Kenna, yes I am excited to see her and to be in close proximity. She has been living rent free in
Dante How fucking stupid of me! What in God’s name was I thinking cornering Kenna like that in the kitchen last night and for Eliza to catch us both so close? But I couldn’t help my damn self. Even I am bewildered at my actions and the way my body responded to Kenna. One look at her ass as she reached up for the glass in the cupboard, her hair spilling down her back, that tiny waist of hers. It was too much for my dick and it hardened almost immediately. Fuck, I should not be having any kind of reactions like this for my stepsister. Maybe Eliza is right, it’s wrong isn’t it? Or is it just taboo because people say it is? When in fact I am not blood related in any way, shape or form to Kenna. I have to admit that my cock was raging when I got back in my bedroom having been so close to her and inhaling her intoxicating fragrance, Coco Chanel. It’s her favorite, I know I have bought it for her every Christmas along with other gifts of course. And now as I adjust my tie for the third tim
KennaThe last day was exhausting, Isaac is working us all really hard right now and the amount of reports I needed to complete was beyond imaginable. Still, I do want to prove myself to him and I have to suck it up if I want to show my stepfather that I am the best woman for the job he has decided will be mine. My feet were aching from my heels all day and when I got home I soaked in the tub for an hour with candles on and some classical music.Did I sleep well? You would imagine I did, however it wasn’t to be since all I could think about was these next two weeks coming up and having to spend them so closely with Xander. Him of all people. My mind wants to continue to reject him but my body when I am close to him has other things on its mind, it’s bad enough I reacted to Dante like I did the other night but Xander too. What the hell is going on with me? It’s early, just six in the morning. My butler has already brought me a strong coffee and some pastries. I do not fancy facing Da
XanderI take one look at her and catch my breath, she looks absolutely stunning this morning. Although I can see dark circles under her eyes yet it doesn’t distract from her beauty and those long legs of hers encased in the linen trousers. Kenna looks utterly sexy and elegant. But then she always has done. “Good morning, did you sleep okay you look a little tired?” I ask her as she shakes my hand. Yes, shakes my hand. So it is going to be like that then is it? Formal, business like. Mm, we have to see about that. I am hoping that by the end of this two week tour I will have her in my arms. Exactly where she belongs. I am after all Nico Staniopolis and I always get my own way. That and I have been practically a monk since we were divorced not to mention during the three years that we were married.And why did I never touch my wife when she was there to hand, ready and waiting? Back then Kenna would have fallen over herself literally to do anything I wanted her to do.The answer. Becau
KennaThe man drives me insane, just being close to him is both irritating the holy crap out of me and making me have shivers up and down my spine. Xander is ridiculously handsome with his strong jaw, just enough stubble to be considered high level sexy but not unkempt. His broad shoulders fill out his navy suit jacket well, his long, muscular legs in his tight suit pants. He screams elegance, he screams masculine, he screams fucking crazy HOT. I have to watch myself so that I am not panting in front of him.Seriously, my body is all over the place. Between him and my stepbrother I don’t actually know if I am coming or going. It’s insane and I am clearly confused not to mention conflicted that I have some kind of feelings for both of them. What they are, I have no idea. Right now, I just feel lustful. I want to groan and bury my head in my hands as I slam the door shut on his face. Sightseeing? Is the man out of his mind? I have no intention of getting close to Xander. He can chase m
KennaTalk about having to do a man’s job and if you want anything done, then do it yourself. Honestly, I thought Xander had more balls than that. Although I do surprise myself with how brave and bold I am right now. There is too much to lose with a man like Antonio out there trying to harm me to get back at Xander. I have no hesitation in having someone shit the life out of him or even wipe him off this planet. But how I am now involved yet again in Xander’s business is unbelievable.I call Dante and wait for him to pick up. My whole day has been literally turned upside down. The meetings I was supposed to have are now cancelled and shifted out. The flight I wanted to take to go and visit Riley was also moved out. Fucking pisses me right off. His phone picks up.“Kenna, everything okay?”“No, Dante, not really. Xander has told me everything and it isn’t good. This Antonio guy thinks he has some kind of debt owing to him because of Violet and her drug running days. Who knew, eh, that
Xander“With me?” I am in my penthouse finally having a break from the tour. Everything is how I left it and my day lady has taken care of everything. I remind myself that I need to give her an increase. There are even fresh flowers in the vase on the high sheen, walnut table in the entrance hall. God, I have missed my views across Manhattan. The skyline is impressive although part of me longs to be at my country home where I can see the mountains for miles.“Yes with you, Xander. Do you know a man called Antonio Guilopo?”Fuck, it hits me like a gut punch and winds me. I need to sit down and I need a hefty scotch but it is still only two in the afternoon. “Well?” Her voice is impatient.“Yes, from a long time ago, Kenna. Why do you ask? He isn’t someone that should even cross your radar let alone the name come from your lips.”“Here’s the thing, Xander. I was followed this morning to work from Dante’s house and crashed into by a black 4x4, from behind. They tried to take me off the
KennaThe meeting is dragging, it is all about our new development in Asia. I didn’t even know Isaac was expanding into Asia. Holy smokes, why didn’t anyone inform me? This is utterly ridiculous. I have only been out of HQ for a couple of weeks on the tour and nobody thought to inform me via messaging or email. Why wasn’t I included? Maybe it was because Isaac had decided to drop a bombshell.In any case the unit looks impressive over twenty floors high, all smoked glass on the outside from the generated images. “And the projections?” I ask our head accountant, he looks like he has aged since I was last in HQ. I am not surprised with this new development and where is our CFO? He runs through the figures and I have to admit they are impressive, we will be hiring only local people nobody will be hired from outside the area. “And we are sure there is expertise locally?”“Yes, we have done a lot of research, Miss Bodega. You know we wouldn’t even be considering this as an option if it
DanteDammit who the hell is trying to rail Kenna? I message my assistant, Lorna quickly and let her know I am going to be late as I have some personal issues to attend to. She lets me know not to worry about anything and can push a few of my meetings to my free time later this afternoon. Not ideal since I wanted to be away from the office early to have a romantic dinner with Kenna and a night of hot, steamy passion. I guess that isn’t going to happen now since there is yet another turn of events. The poor woman has already gone through so much and now this.I want to cradle her in my arms and protect her and take all her worries away. Only I can’t and as a man like myself that makes me feel like shit. What, I can't even protect my own woman now? But I will find out who is in the vehicle. Anyone touches my woman they die!Next I make a call to the P.I. on the case for Kenna. He’s an ex NavySeal and now takes on all manner of cases, his name is Chase and he lives in Boston. “Chase, an
KennaI fire off a message to Dante hoping he will pick it up. I know he himself would be getting ready to head into his offices. I have a tail, a large black 4x4. Do you know anything about this?I wait tapping my pale pink nails on the mobile with anxiousness. Who the fuck is following me? Why is someone even following me?“You need to take me to the Bodega Head Office, I have no other choice. I can’t be driving around Manhattan trying to shake a tail,” I tell the driver.“Very well, Ma’am.” God I hate it when people call me ma’am. I’m still only in my twenties, it makes me feel so damn old. Ugh! I turn around in my seat wondering what is taking Dante so long. I can see a woman driving with ice blonde hair, I squint trying to see who it is sitting next to her but they are wearing a baseball cap. I notice a dark beard and that is about it. But the man sitting next to the woman is big built. What the hell!Hey, sorry I was getting ready and didn’t hear the phone. Okay, let me get ex
KennaWe lay spent on the bed, my insides ache but it is that good kind of ache that tells you, you’ve had amazing sex. My head rests on Dante’s shoulder where it fits perfectly.“Marriage, eh?” he says and kisses the top of my head. I can smell our sex and his masculine fragrance, it’s all woodsy and pine. Almost like you’d imagine a lumberjack. It fills my senses.“Okay, I may have been getting ahead of myself there a bit.” Now I feel slightly embarrassed. What was I thinking mentioning the big M word? “I would love to marry you, Kenna. I just want to have the opportunity to ask you properly. In a romantic setting that will take your breath away.” I love his words, they fill my heart which is already brimming with love and emotion for this strong and protective man who makes me feel like I am the only woman in the universe.“I guess I should get ready, I have some meetings to attend to today,” I say as I push myself into a seated position and rest my head on the engraved, wooden h
Dante“You told him! And how did he take it?” I was surprised to see Kenna at my front door not more than twenty minutes ago. Looking as beautiful as ever this time dressed down in some skinny black jeans that look molded to her, showcasing her long and toned legs. Her baggy sweatshirt hangs off one shoulder and has Mickey Mouse on the front. She looks too damn adorable right now and I am ready to pull off her clothes, throw her on my bed and make wild passionate love to her. Seriously though, Kenna looks only in her teens, not the billionairess in her twenties. How does she do it? And how does she do to me what she does? “At first not well, but then he agreed it would be best to make a family statement. He wants the name to be clear and all the skeletons out of the closet, so to speak, for when Riley comes to live with me part-time.” She has a grin of jubilation on her face. I walk over to her in the kitchen where she leans with her back to the sink and take her face in my hands. My
KennaHis face takes on an almost purple shade. I swear I have never seen a human look like an aubergine but here it is sitting in front of me.My mother gasps and clutches a hand to her mouth.“What are you saying, Kenna? It sounds like you are disowning us? We are your family, we gave you everything that has put you where you are enjoying the best life possible.”“Yes, Mom, I know that. I am not stupid and I remain grateful for everything that Isaac has done for me and treated me like his own daughter. That I cannot fault. But this attitude of his threatening to disown me because I am dating Dante. Well, that is clearly ridiculous. I could understand it if Dante and I were blood related but we are not.”Isaac coughs and puts up a hand to silence us both.“Ladies, please. Kenna, it is for your own good. The press will have a field day and they will start to dig around and find out that I am not his father. It will have all sorts of negative impact on him. I am not a cruel man, Kenna.
KennaMy eyes feel grainy and sore, they look red around the rims but I have my trusty concealer by YSLaurent to help disguise them and the fact that I have dark circles underneath them. I sigh as I get on yet another flight this time straight back to Manhattan. It is tiring, all I seem to have done for weeks is get on and off this damn jet. But I have business to attend to and there is no time like the present. I can work whilst I am onboard.The stewardess comes to me, I notice her coral shade of lipstick and her sunny demeanour as she smiles at me. Her hazel eyes look warm and comforting. “Can I get you anything, Miss Bodega?”“A new life would be good. I’ll just take a coffee please, hold on the cream and sugar. Black will be fine.”“Very well. We will be taking off shortly, I can bring it to you after.”“Thank you.” I know the drill who wouldn’t by now.Anxiety you would think should be present since I am about to go back home and confront Isaac. Yet it doesn’t. I am ready for th
