They circled the Island a couple of times at different heights, then swung out to sea, flying over a couple of small islands, barely piles of sand and a few trees, and then a larger one with a small community living on it. They swung further round to the west and the water turned a much deeper blue, obviously a lot deeper beneath them now.
Mark figured now would be as good at time as any to tell his sisters about Connor's questioning notes, Henrys response and George Crowlers thoughts on it."What's the big deal?" Maddy asked. "There's probably no safe room.""Maybe," Mark allowed. "But if there is, why is he hiding it from us? What's in there? Has Henry stashed away loads of jewels or cash or is it full of dodgy stuff?""It doesn't matter whats in there," Myra argued. "If it's there, it's there for a reason, right? So if we need to use it in an emergency, he's not letting us.""Anyway," Mark said fAs Myraglowered at him, Maddylooked a little disappointed and Markshrugged, Peter continued. "I don't say this to criticizeor cause offence, but to point out that the three of you are at different levels in your experiences, and we should take steps to balance that out in the coming weeks and months.""What are you suggesting?" Markasked."Please, bear with me for a moment. Mark, you seemed a little... awkward chatting with some of the musicians and actors yesterday, while Maddyand Myraseemed a lot more comfortable."Markfrowned, wanting Peter to get to the point."My suggestion for next week and the following one is that we should split into two parties," Peter explained. "Maddyand Myrashould go to New York, where we can focus on several of the businesses there. This will allows to give you more of a grounded education and by the end of the fortnight you should be roughly level i
Jasminehad drawn him a bath but was still hard at work in the lounge with Lakshmi, arranging the paper into dozens of piles on the desks across the room, so he stripped off and sank into the water, groaning as he lay back. Jasmineappeared a moment later, a cheeky smile on her face."You're on your own in there for this bath, Mark," She said softly. "Lakshmi's right next door."Her hand drifted down to touch his chest and she leaned forward and gave him a quick kiss. Markcould feel his heart rate accelerating as her tongue darted into his mouth, a quick swipe, before she sat back up."Just wanted to do that," She whispered. Her hand drifted down over his stomach, and her smile broadened as she wrapped her fingers around his cock and gave it a gentle squeeze, then let it go."Any time you like.""I'll remember that later," She told him, standing up. Jasminereached for a towel and dried her hand off. "In a f
She left the room and Markgot up and got dressed. He slipped on a tight black v-neck top, dark blue jeans and a pair of black boots and then wandered out to the balcony where Jasmineand Lakshmi were having a break."Feel better after that?" Lakshmi asked."Yeah. Certainly eased the pain," He replied, lighting up. "How's it going with the schedule?""Well, we're trying to cut it down from insane to manic, but we'll have a better grip on it later," She replied, sounding pleased with herself.Marktook a seat. "If you can get it from manic to chilled, that would be awesome.""On another note, your friends Samand Antwill be here late tomorrow morning.""Really?" Marksmiled, then chuckled as he thought of how Antwould react to this place. "This could be fun. Hey, what about Sage? When's she arriving?""Maddy's friend? Late tonight, along with her sister.""So t
Her words hung in the air between the three of them. Markstared at her, while Maddy's head turned like an owl, staring open-mouthed at her sister. Myrajust shrugged and grinned."Yes, I remembered you," She told him. Myraturned her head to look at Maddy. "And I know you were Felicia, because I was the girl Markthought was you.""Um... what?" Maddysaid, stammering her words."Oh, come on," Myrasaid. "It's about time we got all this out in the open anyway. I did a lap dance for Markin Myrtle Beach when I was a stripper, and he got me all hot, so I made him cum. Then he went off to meet a girl who looked exactly like me, going under a fake name of Felicia? It doesn't take a rocket scientist to figure it out, especially after seeing both your reactions down on the pier.""Oh my fucking God," Maddymuttered, covering her face with her hands.Markshook his head. "I fucking knew you
Markrocked his hips once more, grinning as he watched her reaction. He waited until she was just about to say something else then rocked again, teasing her.As she was about to try and repeat her words he kissed her and began to pump his erection inside her, drawing back with his hips and pushing inside her once more. He was amazed at how she felt inside, as if he could feel her gripping him, squeezing him, and almost caressing his cock as it moved back and forth, coating him with her natural moisture.Markkept it up, firm and steady, and his head slipped down to her breast. His mouth sought out and found first one nipple, then the other, sucking each one into his mouth, catching the stiff little nub between his lips or teeth, teasing and tasting each one as his hips rolled back and forth between her spread legs."Oh, fuck," Jasminemoaned in his ear. "Please. Harder."He pumped his hips as she asked, fucking her with more ene
"You... Why are you DOING THIS TO ME!" He bellowed, staring at the recording from Mark's bedroom.He stood upright and kicked hard at the waste paper bin, smashing it hard against the wall and turned back to stare at Jasmineon the screen, coupling with.. him."You're meant to be mine!"Henryshook his head, wanting nothing more than to go upstairs and throw that upstart man off the Island and take his Jasminefor himself, as he should have done long ago. As he stared at the screen, his chest heaving, he knew that it wouldn't work."You have to think, Henry," He told himself. "You're smart, you've got the resources you need and you have the material to ensure when those incest-freaks leave, your Jasminestays here. Now think, work the problem. How to split them up?"He paced back and forth in the small room, discarding idea after idea until he knew what he had to do."Provide evidence of him cheati
Jaydenworked him hard, relentlessly torturing his muscles systematically one at a time until he was ready to quit, but Markmade it through his workout, emerging on the other side of it as a sweaty, quivering mess. He took a few minutes to recover and then slowly walked back up to the house.He entered the suite as Jasmineemerged from the shower, gave her a kiss and laughed weakly as she shooed him away, calling him 'sweaty and sticky and not in a good way'.Markslid into the blue-green hot water in the bath, groaning in pleasure. The coloured water and the mixture of salts that Jasminesorted out always seemed to ease him after each workout, even if it was only for a short time."You getting in?" He asked, hearing her re-enter the bathroom. He opened his eyes and saw she was dressed in a charcoal business suit, a matching skirt and jacket with a white top underneath."Nope. Not this morning," She replied as she
"Right, first off, I want to see this list," Marksaid bluntly as he sat on the balcony. Jasmineraised her eyebrow and handed him the sheet of paper."It's just a first pass, remember."Mark's eyes widened as read the names on the page. It was like an FHM top twenty women list, every guys fantasy."You're serious?" He asked, looking up."Why not?" Jasminereplied. "We're looking for someone high profile, someone that will give you credibility and instant recognition, as well as get you in the papers.""And how the hell am I supposed to do this? Just send a fan email to their website asking them on a date?" Markasked, shaking his head. It wasn't that he objected to the thought of a date with anyone on the list. They were all stunning and he'd love to meet any of them, but they were so far out his league it was unbelievable.Jasminerolled her eyes, but Lakshmi sat down opposite him. "We arran
True to her suggestions, Myraknocked, waited for a few seconds and then slowly opened the door to see a flushed Maddystraightening her clothing and looking a little flushed. Markand Myraexchanged a knowing look, and then suggested the three of them go back upstairs. Maddydidn't say much, but followed them up the stairs, with both Markand Myranoticing her obvious reluctance."I'm off to my room to get changed," Maddysaid as soon as they closed the hatch. Markand Myramanaged to keep a straight face until she was out of sight, but the second she was gone they broke into broad grins."Who knew both my sisters were raging perverts," Markmuttered, earning a punch on the arm from Myra."From the guy who's fucked both of us and is banging his secretary too."Markgrinned. "I like to keep busy."Their last afternoon on the Island passed very quickly, between the vario
"So what did she say?""She got a fright, so I told her to sit down and we talked for a bit. Then she told me that she'd made a bet with some friends that she would have sex with you, and she had to follow through with it. Well, I didn' t know if you'd hooked up with Jasmine, so I tell her that she can't and that she should just tell her friends that she did.""So Sarah turned up and you stopped her coming in?" Markasked."Yeah. Bear in mind that at this point, you're the only person I've ever met before, I know you're my brother, but I'm all horny and attracted to you, right? I'm tired and I'm not exactly thinking straight, plus this slut has just shown up and I'm feeling jealous. Pretty much an emotional mess, right?""Okay. So what happened with Sarah?""She wouldn't leave, even tried to get back into the suite, so I gave her two choices. She could be fired if she kept trying to get inside, or she could leave and I'd te
"Fuck my life," Markmurmured."What?" Jasminemuttered."Nothing. Sorry. Didn't mean to wake you," He said softly, slipping in behind her.She pulled his arm around her, nestling her body into him. "It's okay. Can't you sleep?""No, went down to the bunker."Jasminerolled onto her back, propping her legs over his and turned to look at him, all sleepy and cute. "What did you find?""You don't want to know," Marksaid unhappily.She watched him carefully for a moment, then said softly, "Was it footage of me?"Markshook his head. "No, not exactly, just, em.... there was footage stored of me and you. All week long."She looked away and took a deep breath. "Did you delete it?""Not yet, but I will later.""You have to. Promise me, Mark, please?" She said, her expression intense."I will. I promise. There's just something I have to
It was eerie walking down the stairs completely on his own, and he felt a little trepidation as he punched in the code and held his hand against the palm-scanner. He stepped back as the door opened and entered the silent bunker, his eyes automatically going to the spot where Henryhad lay.He took a deep breath and headed for the control room, sliding into a seat before the console, seeing Jasminesleeping on one of the large screens in front of him. He smiled, seeing how natural and relaxed she seemed while asleep.Markturned to look at the wall to his left, a large map of the Island about eight feet across with numbered pins stuck in it showing the location of each camera. It took him a minute, but he counted one hundred and thirty eight."Holy fuck that's a lot of cameras."It took him another ten minutes to find the guide on how to use the system, and his eyes widened more than once at how it was set up. Each camera fed back to a serve
As the staff were all wandering out the door, chatting over the revelations they'd just been hit with, Marklooked at Mister Yousef. "You kept that brief.""I'm a big fan of letting people do the work they're employed to do," The old man smiled. "You nearly gave me a heart-attack when you stepped forward there. Nicely done."Markshrugged. "No biggie. So can we head back to the house now?""The boat got away?"Marknodded. "No problems.""Good. I'll see you at lunch," George replied, turning to leave. "Brian, let's go.""Work calls," The Security chief said, nodding at Markon his way past."Brian," Marksaid, grabbing his hand. "Thanks for this. All of it.""No problem, sir, and if you don't mind me saying, Henrywas a bastard. I'm glad he's... off the Island."It was two hours and forty minutes later when Connor finally appeared. A nervous Markgree
"Let's do it," Connor said. "I'll take the feet, you take the upper body and I'll go in front. Take your time, alright."Marknodded and moved to the corpse, wrapped into a neat cylinder with the rugs and trash bags. On Connors signal they lifted the body and Markgrunted as they carried it up the steps and into the bar.It felt really bizarre to be carrying a wrapped up body in broad daylight through a place he'd come to love, but with short steps, Connor and Markmade their way through the main house, took the right onto the path past the kitchens, and then a few minutes later onto the beach.Captain Wales was waiting for them with the gangplank ready and engines running, his crew sent to the clubhouse like everyone else.They carried Henry'sbody along the pier, feeling exposed in the open, but Connor kept feeding Markadvice to keep him calm and all too soon they were placing the body out of sight in the lounge of the catamara
They lay there for another ten minutes until Myracalled through to let them know Mister Yousefhad returned with Brian Kane in tow, along with a yawning Captain Wales. Markand Jasminequickly dried and dressed, then went out to meet them in the lounge of Mark's suite, with the doors securely closed. To their surprise, Brian greeted them with warm handshakes, admitting a moment later that he suspected for a long time that there was something off about Henry, and that when Mister Youseftold him what had happened, he wasn't really that surprised.Mister Yousefthen briefed them on Brian's suggestion on how to deal with the situation. It seemed very simple, so much so that Markkept looking for holes in it.Over the next couple of hours, Henry's body was to be wrapped in the bloodstained rugs, taped up and secured in trash bags and brought to the top of the hidden staircase. At seven o'clock in the morning, Brian and his team would gat
"So does that mean I can get a shower now?" Markasked, knowing Myrahad washed him clean but still convincedhe had the old mans blood on him."As soon as you've sorted out the access protocols," George nodded."What about him?" Connor asked, jerking his thumb at the corpse on the far side of the room."We'll deal with that after we've spoken to Mister Kane." At that the old man nodded and stood up. "And no alcohol for the time being please.""Okay," Marksaid. "Connor?"The Scotsman nodded and led them to the Control room. Markwas still a little unsteady on his feet, but with Jasmineholding his hand, he was able to cross the room with little difficulty.The control room was astonishing to each of them, as they saw the images on the array of monitors, with one of the large screens showing a picture of Mark's room from above his bed, another showing footage from a camera in the corner o
"Hello?" They heard Connor call, and by some unspoken signal, both Maddyand Myrarolled out the bed, leaving Markunder the covers. Maddysat down on the bed and Myrawalked towards the door."In here," She said.Connor appeared in the doorway with a bundle of clothes in his arms and handed them to Myra."Give us a minute. We've just cleaned him up, and we'll get him dressed."The Scotsman nodded and turned away, closing the door behind him."Right, you," Maddysaid firmly, hauling back the covers. Myratossed a pair of dark blue jeans to Maddyand dropped a hooded jersey and sneakers on the foot of the bed. She came around to the other side of it."Sorry about this," Marksaid softly, now feeling a little embarassed at his nudity."Shut up, Mark," Myrasaid briskly as she helped Maddymaneuvre the trousers round his feet. Markhad to roll onto hi
