Chapter 5

He quickly slips into his room. His heart thumped in his chest.

This was not the same Mia, where’s the shy quiet girl from three months ago?

He combs his hair and puts on some slacks and a T-shirt before making his way to the lounge.

“Come on, let me show you to your bedroom,” he says and starts walking ahead.

 He leaves her in the room to settle in, and walks to the large patio and bar area, checking on the Jacuzzi temperature he decides to fire up the grill.

After half an hour, Mia comes walking in. She looks breathtaking in a strapless blouse and denim shorts.

Oh god…. If her dad had to see her now.

“Red or White?” he asks holding out two wine glasses

“Red, of course,” she says giving him a side glance.

“I saw Kate last night,"

“And I think we both feel the same about you, your...Uhm… lifestyle I mean.”

Alec stops pouring wine and puts the bottle down next to the glasses. He’s not sure whether to be proud or annoyed at the fact that his sister discusses him with girls.

It's probably not that bad, Kate is known to be a great listener.

"That sister of yours loves you very much," Mia says, breaking his chain of thought.

"And may I know what you discuss when you talk about me and not to me?" Alec asks challengingly

"Let's not ruin the mood with serious conversations." She winks and smiles casually.

Over the next hour or so they just talk, and Alec starts to feel comfortable around her. Should it have been anyone else, they would have already jumped in bed, and sex would have been the starter, mains, and dessert.

Mia is very desirable, but he made her a promise.

After they have finished eating, another ad for The Bachelor starts to play, this time on YouTube interrupting their music.

“Don’t you think you should apply to be on the show? I mean it might bring a new perspective to your life, Alec.” Mia says seriously

"Kate agrees. She says she’s already tried to persuade you.” She looked at him a frown forming on her face

"You're a very attractive man and you have everything women desire, but your reputation has preceded you, and you know it. I mean, you must know women talk and rumors have a way of spreading?" she continues

"Alec I… I’m in love with you ...But my parents will never approve. Besides, everyone says you’re incapable of being faithful to one woman." 

"And Naomi has done a great job at ruining your reputation, all because you started avoiding her.”

“There are rumors that you even have affairs with married women. Is it true?" she blurts out finally pausing to take a breath. 

For a long time, Alec just stares at her.

"Let me pour you another glass of wine and continue our conversation in the jacuzzi," he suggests trying to avoid the subject.

If she knew which married women were involved, Reverend Evans would cancel his holiday, come back, and only give a sermon on the forbidden fruit for the next three months.

"I forgot to bring a swimsuit," Mia said, and then held a finger firmly in the air. "If you promise to behave, I’ll get in, in my underwear."

Alec almost toppled over when she began to take off her blouse and denim shorts.

How the hell is he going to be able to contain himself?

He felt his bulge tighten and an unfamiliar pang radiate between his heart and his scrotum.

The lines of her body are perfect, and he realizes that was it not for his reputation, Mia could have been his.
