Kenna

I have had all my bags delivered to the hotel suite, it is yet another stunning place with a marble entrance area rounded with a domed ceiling. There are double doors leading off in all directions, one is open that shows me it is the bedroom since I can spot a four poster bed, draped in gorgeous pale blue damask fabric. It feels heavenly to slip out of my shoes and make my way into the bedroom suite. The sun shines brilliantly through the glass, all arched floor to ceiling windows line the far end with a stone balcony. It screams opulence and elegance as if it has stood still from the 1920s era. Absolutely breathtaking.

I have to admit it, Xander sure does know how to create beautiful hotels, this one is incredible. The soft, cream carpet beneath my feet feels like bliss against the soles. I curl my feet and wish that I could stay here for a few days and chill out, go to the spa, the in house movie cinema, use the gym and stroll the streets of Phoenix and be a tourist. However,

    XanderI have made lunch reservations at a romantic restaurant downtown, I am hopeful that Kenna will like it. Suddenly I feel nervous since I want it all to be so perfect for her. Still I am bewildered at how much I want this woman, and beat myself up continuously for not being a more attentive husband to her when I had the chance. It hasn’t escaped my attention how she looked at Dante the other night either. Her cheeks were flushed and my guess is that something had or was about to happen. There is no way in hell that I will allow for Dante to have Kenna. Maybe it is time I try to dig up some dirt on him. Let’s face it there must be something that will turn Kenna off him. Meddlesome I know, but I want Kenna and I’ll do pretty much anything I have to. Like a bolt of lightning out of the sky, it has hit me that I actually feel more towards her than I at first thought. Just looking at her makes my pulse race and my heart flutter. Me, Xander Staniopolis having feelings for anyone, it i

    KennaI take him in, there is no denying that Xander looks hot this afternoon in his dark jeans and blue button down. It’s not too tight but tight enough for me to see the outline of his broad chest and biceps as he moves his arms. The waitress pours us a nice chilled glass of white wine each, I take a sip casting my eyes towards Xander who looks at me with a strange look in his eyes. The way they hold mine makes me blush, I can feel it to the top of my hair. I bet my roots are even blushing. He licks his bottom lip to take in the droplet of wine that is there. His lips are plump, how come I never noticed that before. Or perhaps I did in the early days then I hardly saw him. “So what do you think?” He asks as he moves his hand. “It’s stunning, Xander. I especially love all the plants dotted around and I bet at night the fairy lights are beautiful.” “I can bring you back this evening if you want to see it lit up at night,” he says and places his hands on the table. Our fingertips ar

    XanderHer mouth forms an O, it’s adorable, quickly she takes a sip of her wine, then gulps it down. “I’m not sure about that, Xander. Why are you trying to woo me? What is wrong with you?”I move my head back and let out a small chuckle, oh she has no idea how much I want her or maybe she does and is playing hard to get. Fuck, I wish I had been a better husband. How stupid was I to let her go? “Don’t be like that, Kenna. We know I was a shit husband but I want to make it up to you. Is that so bad?” The waiter arrives with our first course, Kenna looks skeptically at the raw fish and rice. “You will enjoy it, here this is salmon with a sauce,” I tell her and hold the bite size up for her with chopsticks. I guide it to her mouth, Kenna opens those beautiful lips of hers and takes it into her mouth. How I wish I was the fish entering her wet, warm mouth. I watch as her mouth closes around it, imagining what her lips would feel like wrapping around my swollen cock. That’s enough of t

    KennaThe man infuriates me, why did he have to bring it up? Again? I am incensed, livid. And as for Violet I would love to put my hands around her neck and squeeze the living daylights out of her. As I walk speedily back to the hotel, I am conscious of Xander matching me stride for stride. He remains silent, I bet wondering how he can process my mood. Let’s face it, he isn’t used to me losing my temper.Oh, no because when we were married I was meek and mild. The ever needy, wanting to please him wife. The fool that I was. Now I am even more mad. “Hey, stop walking like a demon possessed, you will trip and hurt yourself in those heels. Look, I’m sorry I bought it up okay. I will let it drop.” He reaches for my elbow, the touch makes me feel like a jolt of electricity has passed through my body. It sends shockwaves through me. What? How can that even be when I am so fucking angry at him? There is no way I can divulge my secret to him, only Dante and my mother know about the baby, an

    KennaOur team in Phoenix have laid on an event for Xander and I to attend, we will now be heading off to one of the exclusive hotels in the area for a gala type of thing, well that took me by surprise since nobody had bothered to inform my assistant, however, with the good grace that I can muster, I naturally said it would be wonderful.Truthfully, all I want to do is lay on the bed snuggled up in the hotel suite and read a good book, alas that can’t be. I have a couple of gowns with me and have decided to wear my floor length, golden dress that has a slit up the middle, front and low cowling back. A hairdresser has just left my suite and done my hair, it is fixed in a sophisticated updo. There is a knock on the door, “just a minute,” I shout out, still dressed in the white, fluffy robe that the suite provides and matching slippers. I open the door and Xander stands there dressed impeccable in a black tuxedo with a sharp white button down. “What are you doing here? I thought we were

    XanderI cannot take my eyes off her with those strappy, high sandals on and that dress split to her high thigh. It is making my mouth salivate the thought of running my tongue up along her inner thighs to her core and sucking on her clit and her pussy through her sheer lace panties. Fuck, my cock is hardening and I need to ensure she cannot see it.We arrive at the gala event and are greeted by Enzo, the director from Phoenix plant. He stands with his wife as we get out of the car, a stocky man but good looking, with dark hair and dark eyes. Enzo has a very friendly face and his wife is good looking too, but not like Kenna. She extends her hand to greet us and then wraps Kenna into a big hug which takes Kenna by surprise. It makes me chuckle because Kenna is not a demonstrative person and I can sense she is like cardboard in the woman’s arms.A few flashes go off and I raise my hand to my face to shield it from more pictures being taken. “Mr Staniopolis,” a reporter calls out, a short

    KennaI allow Xander to keep his hand on my lower back, in fact I like it. There, I said it and I don’t feel ashamed and for once my brain is not fighting with my body. It feels natural, erm, a bit too natural but you know what from the divorce, finding out that Violet knows my secret, the gala night events, now this tour. Oh, and also my weird and strange feelings for Dante, I am so exhausted that for one night I do not want to fight with myself. Inside I am taken aback by how stunning the ballroom in the hotel is. Wow, Bodega in Phoenix has gone all out. There are round tables of ten placed around with heavy, cream Damask fabric. On each one sits a candelabra and a flower arrangement. From the ceiling, a central point is a massive chandelier from which wide, silk, cream ribbons are draped to the sides then down. It looks almost Middle Eastern, the whole vibe is elegant and stunning. I gasp.“This is beautiful,” I say to Xander who nods in agreement. “Come let us go and find our pla

    XanderIt gives me great satisfaction to see her lips part and the way her chest rises and falls, I know I’ve got her wanting me. I bet she is so wet right now and it’s becoming awkward in my pants with my hardening cock. Thank God for a heavy table covering that hides my growing bulge. Enrique, a man who runs the plant and is the CFO for her company here in Phoenix is sitting on her other side. He leans forward and says something to her.A blushing Kenna smiles politely as I place my hand underneath the tablecloth and slide it up her thigh. She gasps then bites down on her lower lip.“Sorry, what was that?” Enrique asks her. I chuckle, she glares at me and moves her hand under the table and places it firmly over mine. Oh I do love a challenge. She will be mine by the end of the night. I am going to lay my claim back on Kenna. This time, I will not let her get away and I will erase all thoughts of her stepbrother from her mind. I am a man on a mission. “I was just saying how impressed

    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.
