ANMELDENElenaAfter a strenuous flight followed by a train ride, I closed my eyes as the car sped from the train station in Bern towards my father’s mansion in Gstaad.“Coming here had always been a dream when you were here, Lena. I wanted to come here and whisk you away with me.” Damien’s voice brought me out of my dazed state. It made me feel rejuvenated despite the fatigue.Ever since Dad called me last night, I have been stressed. He was unwell and wanted me to return at the earliest. Thankfully, Damien insisted on accompanying me on this trip, or I would have been totally at a loss.After the wedding, while the family left for New York, Damien and I left Santorini for Zurich. A short train ride later, we reached Bern, ready to face my dad. What could have happened to him? I had no time to update my mom. Anyway, they weren’t on talking terms.“Oh, maybe things would have been different if you had.” I smiled and snuggled into him. I would have fallen asleep here if I weren’t so stressed.“
ElenaI watched Dominic and Julia cut their mouth-watering three-tiered wedding cake amidst loud cheers and laughter. Everyone was ecstatic except me. The last few days had been everything a dream vacation should be. We enjoyed what Santorini offered us: yachting around the Vlychada Marina, exploring the Red Beach, horse riding at Eros Beach, discovering the LA Ponta Castle, and enjoying the caldera views. The nights, however, were only for us. Damien had been insatiable and unstoppable. Every night, he tried different ways to please me. It became a challenge for me to think of ways to please him in return. Despite the sexual satisfaction, I couldn’t stop the ache in my heart.I had expected more from this trip. I had expected him to seal our relationship with a proposal. He hadn’t. Now that the wedding was over, we would have to return to New York the next morning. All my hopes were dashed. What was stopping Damien from taking the plunge?After a week, Drake and Daniella’s wedding wa
ElenaI closed my eyes at last, resting my head on Damien’s shoulder. With the entire family around me on his family jet, we had a blast from the moment we took off.After Damien’s confession three nights ago, there has never been a dull moment in my life. With everything cleared up between us, the lovemaking became more intense, experimental, and enjoyable. Damien realized the importance of the three magical words in a relationship and whispered them frequently. I loved hearing him say it. I knew he meant it with all his heart and soul.We were so engrossed with one another that I forgot to take an update on Mom. Neither did we get time to meet Ryan.Every day held a new excitement for Damien and me. We couldn’t get enough of one another. I didn’t mind him taking baby steps in our relationship. We were in no hurry at all. But Grandpa Nelson wanted us to get engaged soon. So, would Damien propose on this Santorini trip? Only Damien could answer that. Yet he remained elusive on the top
Elena“When did you plan all this?” His gaze swept over my body, still clad in the burgundy dress. I knew I looked a mess with disheveled hair and groggy eyes, but what could I do? He didn’t allow me to touch up some makeup or fix my hair.“I wasted my evening. Maybe you had dinner already.” I couldn’t believe he had missed dinner with his brothers. He pulled out the chair for me. “No, baby. I came rushing to you the moment I was free.” His charming smile took my breath away. “Oh, why? Did you know about my plans?” I was sure the girls had given me away. Or was it Aunt Vera? He sat down opposite with the same charming smile pasted on his lips. “No, I just missed you. You know I can’t stay away from you.” “You shouldn’t say things you don’t mean.” My heart and mind went into overdrive. My inner mind prodded me not to get my hopes up. I knew he wouldn’t confess. Yet my heart thumped, my reserves melting into a puddle at his words. He raised an eyebrow at me. “Who said I don’t mean
ElenaHis words echoed in my head.You’re there in my heart!“Oh, am I?” I gazed at him helplessly. What was that supposed to mean?He chuckled and pulled me onto his lap. “Yes, you’ve always been there in my heart since the first time I saw you. Um, you can call it ‘Love at First Fight’!”I pushed him away, remembering how much I had fought with him the first time we met. He drove us home to Beacon from the airport. He had accompanied Alex to pick me up on my first visit to Beacon. Right from the start, Damien had been an ass, complaining about my luggage, my perfume, and my clothes. He fought with me over my pack of potato chips, even!“There’s no such thing. You hated me.” I got off his lap and stomped towards the washroom, his laughter following me all the way. I was terribly disappointed in him. Was that his confession of love? And here I was, waiting for him to tell me how much he loved me.“Hey, wait! Don’t you want to hear me out?” His chuckles echoed in the bedroom.“No, than
ElenaI opened my eyes to the faint rays of the sun streaming into the bedroom. My body ached from our heated lovemaking last night. I lost count of the number of times he took me, made love to me, and brought me to a screaming orgasm. Afterwards, we showered together and drifted off to sleep in each other’s arms. I turned to gaze at him, watching the even rise and fall of his chest. He looked so blissfully unaware of his surroundings. There was a faint smile playing on his lips as if he were lost in a sweet dream. I couldn’t look away.Last night had been the most memorable moment for both of us. I knew he was addicted, and so was I. We had connected before, but nothing could compare to what we shared last night. “You’re staring, love.” He stretched his arms and opened his eyes to wink at me. Startled, I fell backward, but he grabbed me and pulled me over his chest, caging me there. His endearment melted my heart into a puddle. I couldn’t stop the butterflies in my stomach. Did h
Julietta / Julia My body ached, but the pain was nothing compared to the one in my heart. Ever since the day we arrived in Santorini, Dominic and I had enjoyed physical proximity every time we were together. But it somehow felt like a ritual. It wasn’t the lovemaking we had shared the first time.
DominicShe was so f*cking pretty! It took me an effort not to growl at the sight of her pus*y. ‘Calm down, Dom! Give her time to adjust to you!’ prodded my inner mind. Yet my hand sneaked between our bodies to touch her silken skin. But I pulled her forward instead until our bodies molded perfectl
Julietta / JuliaThe beautiful wedding gown with crystal embellishments on the neckline clung to my curves and cascaded down to the floor in waves. With my hair fixed in a French knot and the veil covering my head, I couldn’t believe I was really getting married. After my father’s death, I had str
Julietta / JuliaWe could hardly catch our breath when they whisked us away to explore the Akrotiri archeological site nearby. “We’ve dropped our shopping plan,” said Brynne. Dominic threaded his fingers through mine, and we walked like a couple in love. After the way he had addressed me, I was t
