Kenna

Our 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

I am wondering if something will happen between these two by the end of the night?

    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

    KennaWatching Xander give Rebel more attention is making me pissed off and jealous. There, I admit it. I. Am. Jealous. And why? I have no idea? It’s not like I should be that bothered. He is my ex husband and he can chat up whoever he wants. But it is getting to me, watching her play with those ringlets of hers, twirling them around her fingers and laughing at almost everything he says.Xander is not that fucking funny, she is being a total bimbo around him. God it is infuriating. Enrique says something to me about the bidding and if I plan to bid on something. “I haven’t thought about it, however, Enrique I shall be donating a substantial amount to the charity. As will Xander. Won’t you,” I turn to Xander who is way too close to bimbo locks.“Pardon?” His voice is deep and sends tingles down my spine.“You will be making a charitable donation tonight,” I repeat.“Absolutely, whatever Kenna donates, Enrique I will double.” Of course he will. I smile placidly at Enrique who looks lik

    KennaWhat the hell? I stare at my mobile. God, all we did was attend a charity gala event together and now all of a sudden he is putting a ring on my finger. And, Dante has got the wrong end of the stick. Men are infuriating me right now, these two most definitely.No of course not. It’s just the paps. We attended a Bodega event and he escorted me. Naturally. Since he is doing business with us. And why are you getting all uppity about it?There is a few seconds delay then I see the bubbles appearing.Because he is the wrong man for you, Kenna. He will only use you again to have what he wants and you will be in the same boat you were last time with him. Trust me, a leopard never changes its spots, Kenna.I huff. Xander sits beside me and places his large hand on my thigh. “Everything okay? You look distressed,” The warmth of his hand on my skin cascades through my body. “Yeah, just Dante, he seems to think we are back together.”“And would that be such a bad thing, Kenna?”“Don’t st

    I slide my foot between the doors to prevent it from closing on my foot. Something has clearly upset her, she is crying and I have rarely seen Kenna cry. It makes me feel totally helpless, I don’t usually do women crying. Come to think about it, I have hardly ever seen a woman cry. The door closes behind me as I step inside and pull Kenna into my arms. She tries to push me off but I will not let her go, besides I am stronger than her. My one hand rests on the back of her head, cradling her into me, the other at the base of her spine. Her body molds to mine even though she is telling me to let her go.I can sense she doesn’t actually want me to do so, thus I keep her close to me, her face resting on my chest. Fuck it I don’t even care if her mascara or whatever that stuff they put on their lashes is called, ruins my expensive Hermes shirt. “Tell me what is wrong, Kenna. Why are you crying so badly?”“I can’t, I just want to go to my suite and sleep. I am exhausted from everything. Th

    KennaHe narrows his eyes like he is trying to get a better look. I know he’s not an idiot and the picture Dante sent me is worse than the one Violet sent me not long ago. You know, the one where Xander was laying in her lap being comforted. The night I eventually demanded a divorce from him. And this is far worse. “It’s not what it looks like, Kenna,” he says and looks at me with something in his eyes that I don’t quite recognize.“Oh, isn’t it? Well from here it looks pretty bad. Not that it matters to me anymore. Tell me when did this get taken? Whilst you were still with me? When I was your wife?” He shakes his head, and runs his long fingers through it. “Trust me this was not taken when we were married. It was before I even asked you to marry me, and approached you with the arrangement idea.”“Are you sure? Because her hair was a different color back then and this here, she has brown hair which is how she wears it currently.” “Look it doesn’t matter, that me kissing her is not

    XanderKenna seems pliant, there is no rigidity, she does not move back from my touch. I need to tread slowly, I have waited weeks for this and now could be the right moment. And to think she could even believe that I would touch Violet. Yes, I care for Violet because I am duty bound, but I would never go with her in that sense. It would feel wrong, I mean she has become like my kid sister. I remember that night. I was so out of it because as soon as the divorce papers were signed, I realized I didn’t want Kenna to be out of my life.It hit me like a tidal wave that I loved Kenna and just never realized it. What a dick, right? How stupid could I have been. Being so focused on Violet’s wellbeing all the damn time and taking care of building my empire lost me the one woman I fell in love with.And now I feel like I am competing with her stepbrother. Listen, I am an intelligent man, and I can see the signs. Kenna has feelings for Dante. It makes me want to punch him in the face, it mak

    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
