Semua Bab A MAFIA LOVE STORY : Bab 81 - Bab 90

Kalia. And the worst thing was that, even knowing that, even having a complete and total man embargo, it affected her. Her heart was thundering, her stomach tight, her breasts heavy.And when his eyes dropped and his focus moved to her lips, she was silently hoping he would lean in and close the distance between them.She shook her head sharply and tried to force the image out of her mind.She didn’t want to kiss him. He was charming her. Like he’d done to thousands of other women multiple thousands of times. But she wasn’t like those other women. She had standards. She knew what happened when you let a man in like that, when you gave someone else so much power in your life. She would never make that mistake. Her life was just as she liked it.Well-ordered and entirely in her control.The rest of the questions went by in a blur and she stood there, smiling, her face placid, her manner serene. She was a professional at projecting calm when her thoughts were churning beneath the surface

Kalia. It was late when Jake ’s private plane landed on the island of Koh Samui. A car was waiting for us when we got off of the plane. I expected nothing less. Jake was always efficient. Or at least, the people he hired were always completely efficient. Which, I imagined, brought it back around to Jake being efficient. He lived a luxurious life and he appreciated the fiber things in life. I took a deep breath of the humid, salty air before getting into the limo.Jake settled in beside me. His top button was undone, his tie long discarded, his sleeves pushed up over his elbows, revealing tanned, muscular forearms that demanded an in depth study from female admirers.He still smelled good, too, even after long hours of travel.“Don’t you find the limo a bit cliché?” I asked, running my hands unconsciously over the cool leather.“I find it practical. I have a driver, I have privacy. I have enough room to work” he looked at me, his blue eyes hot “or play.”I held up a hand and tried to

Jake. I fully understood the need for privacy. Having a child, my sister live with him for eight years had severely limited my privacy, dictating who he could have over and when. What sort of activities i could indulge in.Of course, now that Maya was on her own, i could have women over if i chose to, but i had gotten so used to going to hotels when I wanted sex that I had never really adapted back.And now that I had the privacy I wanted, the house felt empty sometimes. I still didn’t want to share it with any of my mistresses. I didn't need women leaving toothbrushes on my sink. It was a level of commitment I had no desire to pursue.I had nothing to offer a woman beyond a little mutual fun in the bedroom, and I didn’t see the point in making her believe otherwise. That was why neutral locations reigned supreme in my book.Although, having Kalia stay here with me didn’t bother me at all. But then, Kalia wasn’t my mistress, and she also didn’t seem like she knew how toto cling or sim

Kalia It was strange to hear Jake talking like this. Like a concerned parent. Like a man who had faced things i hadn’t even tried to imagine dealing with any of it. Maybe that's why he was so successful, he knew where to draw the line between his personal and professional life. I could learn a thing or two from him. My heart clenched tight. I had always assumed that Jake was just a carefree playboy. The kind of man who played around simply because he had money and power and no woman would say no, and no one would look down on him for simply doing what men did.But with the information I had now, my heart softened for him, there really alwyas is more to a person than what they just looked like. He just loved the public to have this perception of him as a womanizer and spoilt brat who was arrogant. But the more I got to know the man behind the expensive suits, the more I was attracted to him. He never seeked public approval and it's alwyas seemed like he was just arrogant, but I was

Jake steered the yacht into an alcove that was surrounded by a sheer rock face that created a natural wall of privacy around what looked like a small swimming area. The water was clear here, too. Kalia could see silver flashes beneath the surface that she knew were fish.“I can definitely see why you built a resort out here,” she said.“I visited Thailand for the first time when I was in college. I knew I wanted to do something here then. I was just waiting for the right time.”She sat up in the deck chair she’d been lounging on. “You built the business up by yourself?”He nodded. “Started small, with residential homes that I fixed up. Then I found some land to subdivide and built a neighborhood, which got me off toa pretty good start. I started looking for investors after that.”“Why resort properties then?”“Because they’re more profitable. The industry is more stable. There’s a class of people that will always vacation no matter what.”It sounded like her own reasoning for her job.
