Chapter Fourteen - Confrontations

last update Terakhir Diperbarui: 2024-12-19 14:56:39

Brynne hated returning to Luke’s empty suite, but she had no choice. Staying there was a better option than going back to the cabin and facing Daniella and Adam again. It was strange that Adam had not called her since last night. Nor did Daniella. It hurt her tremendously, as she had always considered them her own. For the last two years, she tried her best to help and bond with them. But it seemed it was all one-sided. They didn’t consider her a friend.

She wandered aimlessly, watching the ship gear up for the three-night gala New Year’s party starting the next evening. While everyone would enjoy themselves with their friends and loved ones, Brynne would have no one to share it with. Luke had clearly excused himself for the next two days. Or was it forever? Did he lose interest in her after getting what he wanted from her? Was this an excuse to dismiss her? Maybe he couldn’t directly ask her to get out after having his way with her. She somehow had the feeling he wouldn’t return.

  • A Deal With The Devil   Chapter Fifteen – Luke’s True Identity

    Luke stormed to Deck 17 to meet his grandpa, Benson Sylvester.Yes, he was the one and only Lucien Sylvester, the most notorious man in the city. His bad reputation had earned him the nickname of a devil. As such, all the bi*ches flocked to him like bees to honey. But he didn’t need them at the ripe age of thirty-two. He needed a genuine woman, a woman who could handle his children and his reputation. He needed someone selfless who wouldn’t choose him for his wealth. Such a woman was impossible to find. He had already given up hope when his grandpa suggested Brynne’s name. Having worked with her for two years, Benson Sylvester had recognized Brynne’s nature but Lucien hadn’t believed him.He had been through shit when his wife, Celine Davidson, left him for an older man with more wealth and power. He was just twenty-two and burdened with a son from his love-less wedding. If only his grandpa had listened to his pleas before plunging in to help his childhood best friend, Chris Davidson

  • A Deal With The Devil    Chapter Sixteen – Brynne Faces Adam

    Brynne waited all morning for Luke, but it seemed he had forgotten her existence. There was chaos all around, and she opened the door and walked out to the deck. To her immense surprise, the ship was heading towards Port Canaveral, Florida. Her heart skipped a beat at the prospect of exploring something different for a change. She rushed inside, picked up the cruise itinerary, and found out the details. The ship would remain docked until 10 pm and they were free to explore Orlando until then. In ten minutes, she was ready. She locked the room and inched toward the elevator. Luke hadn’t even called her and she knew he might still be with his grandpa and Aubrey. She shouldn’t have trusted him.All the passengers on board were queuing up on Deck 4 to alight from the ship after 2 days of being at sea. Brynne was eager too, but scanned the crowd for known faces. Thankfully, she didn’t recognize the crowd so far. Hoping she didn’t collide with Adam and Daniella, she listened to the instru

  • A Deal With The Devil   Chapter Seventeen – A Memorable Day

    The limousine dropped them near a tall structure that looked like the sail of a ship. While Brynne tried her best to figure it out, Luke seemed busy steering her forward. “What’s this?” “Oh, it’s the Exploration Tower - an observation deck. Each floor offers a magnificent view of the area, and you can see all the ships docked here.” With his hand on her elbow, he led her to the elevator. It was jampacked with tourists and Brynne was almost plastered against his body. A tremor of need coursed through her body in response. He wasn’t immune to her, either. She could feel him harden against her. Finally, the torture ended, and they were pushed along with the crowd to the first floor. “There’s your ship,” gasped Brynne excitedly, and he smiled at her enthusiasm. Brynne was glad she received less jealous looks here. Maybe it was because most of the people didn’t know Luke. With Luke standing plastered against her back as they stood on the observation decks, Brynne was more aware of him t

    “Are we going to Disney World? I’ve never visited one.” Brynne tried to cheer him up, and it miraculously worked. Luke smiled and looked up at her. “I was thinking of visiting Topgolf. I have a membership there.” Brynne’s face fell with disappointment, but she didn’t protest. He was the host, taking her to places for free in his limousine. “We will go to Disney World if that’s what you want.” Brynne smiled but somehow had the feeling there was a catch hidden somewhere. Luke wasn’t doing her a favor. And she knew what he wanted from her. The limousine dropped them at the entrance of the park. Luke’s guard, who might have traveled with them, procured VIP tickets and a staff arrived to guide them around the place. “Hello, sir, ma’am! Welcome to Walt Disney World, Orlando. I’m Steve, your guide from Smartours Orlando. Our concierge service has booked all the rides for you in advance. We have you covered. So, shall we start?” They got into his car and he guided them through Lightning

    The food was indeed heavenly, and so was the ambiance of the little diner. Brynne could let down her guard and be herself. She could laugh and enjoy herself without a care in the world because the people hardly even glanced their way. “So tell me about the best part of your day.” Luke seemed extra attentive to her as he relaxed more now. “Obviously, the bioluminescence tour. It was a novel experience. I was so wrapped up, I hardly took any photographs!” She pouted in dismay while Luke grinned at her. “I did and I can forward them to you. But they come with a price.” Brynne smiled, knowing what his price would be. She was ready to pay any price. “Quote your price.” He smirked and shook his head. “I want the payment in kind.” Brynne waited for him to spell it out to her. Tucked away in a corner seat, she was sure no one could hear their heated conversation. The atmosphere was already crackling with the se*ual tension surging between them. Ever since the heated incomplete kiss they

    Brynne knew her plan had failed. Luke wouldn’t let her leave. “I’m getting off your damn ship. I’ll book a flight and go home.” She continued packing while Luke stood transfixed on the spot with surprise. He hardly had expected her to leave. She rose to her full height and approached the door, tugging her luggage along, only to be blocked by Luke. “You aren’t going anywhere. Are you planning to escape your end of the deal?” Brynne seethed at his arrogance. “No, I’m done with your attitude, Luke. You might be a rich, egoistic as*hole who can buy the world, but you can’t buy my self-respect. I won’t have you trample on it and call me unnecessary names. Do you think I agree to shitty deals with rich bastar*s for money? You’re wrong then. Go, find yourself a wh*re who can please you better. Can you send me your account details? I’ll transfer the money to you for all the expenses incurred so far. Now move.” She shoved a stunned Luke aside and reached the door. Luke came to his senses an

  • A Deal With The Devil   Chapter Twenty-One - Under Her Spell

    Luke’s eyes flashed with arousal as he watched Brynne take over. He had to admit she was a very fast learner. What was she going to do with him? She shoved him on the bed, parting his legs just like he had done. Luke’s breath hitched in anticipation while his d*ck swelled with need. He watched her position herself between his legs. Completely shocked, he watched her in amazement. Their gazes locked, and he was already under her spell. She dipped her head to trail fiery hot kisses up his thighs, making his eyes flutter. “Jesus! I love that hot mouth of yours,” he muttered in a state of daze. She hadn’t even started, and he felt totally inebriated. Brynne stared at his hard, engorged d*ck and licked the top, all the while locking her gaze with his. She had no idea what she was doing. She just wanted to please him the way he had. “I’ve never done this before, Luke. Tell me if it isn’t right.” He reached out to cup her cheeks, guiding them to his organ. “You’re perfect, Brynne.

    Brynne woke up to a bright, sunny morning. Her lack of clothing reminded her of the intoxicating experience from last night. But where was Luke? The ship seemed to have slowed down. Had they reached the Bahamas?She dashed to the washroom to freshen up. Luke still hadn’t returned, and she pulled on a fresh set of clothes to go out and check. Her breath hitched in awe of her surroundings. Far ahead of her was the Great Stirrup Cay, an idyllic island paradise in the Bahamas. They would spend their New Year’s Eve on the island tonight. Brynne couldn’t wait to spend it with Luke. Her glance fell on Luke, laughing with a group of women on the deck. Flanked by his bodyguards, he looked quite comfortable in their presence, as if he knew them all. Brynne’s body seethed with jealousy at the sight. Did he have a history with each of these women?“God! He’s insufferable! Remind me why I’m still with him!” Brynne whirled around and walked away to the elevator, just to avoid him. But she had no

    DrakeThe rest of the day, Daniella stuck to her gang. Not once could I get her to myself. Was this why I battled with my family to return to her? Tomorrow was the last day of the cruise, and I wanted to ensure Daniella understood our situation. She couldn’t escape my family now. With Melissa out of the way, Mom had pinned all her hopes on Daniella. In fact, both Mom and Aunt Vera had already started dreaming of a future for me and Daniella.This time I couldn’t escape them.I didn’t know what the rush was all about! Why couldn’t they take it slow? None of us was going anywhere. Then why this mad rush to get me married?I scanned the corridor like a stalker. Daniella had just entered Brynne’s suite with dinner. How long was she planning to stay in? What about my incomplete kiss? Did she not care about me stalking her all the time? I was sure she knew it.Yet she feigned ignorance and stuck with her best friend.Then there was Luke’s bodyguard, Grant, guarding them with a vengeance. I

    DrakeWe reached the terminal in thirty minutes, and I led them up the walkway to the ship. I was glad I could bring them back in time. I glanced at Daniella, who had been strangely quiet since my announcement on the island. She stuck to Brynne’s side to my immense frustration. Why did I return to the ship if she hadn’t missed me at all?“Thanks, Drake. I’ll head back to my cabin.” I was frustrated to see Daniella rush towards Deck 5 instead of confronting me. What was wrong with her? Didn’t she want me here on the ship? We reached the elevator, and I escorted her to Luke’s suite. “How did you find us?” asked Brynne, and I focused my attention on her.Should I tell her the truth? Well, Luke didn’t prevent me from telling her. In fact, she had the right to know. “Grant saw you get into Jamie Aukai’s ferry. So we coordinated with him. Bro is mad at you for leaving the ship this way.” I winked and left with a wave while Brynne gaped at me. Now I had a new mission at hand. I had to woo

    Daniella“Brynne, I was looking for you,” I rushed after her. Yet she walked away from me in a panicked state. “Wait, Brynne. Please.” I felt annoyed with her for putting herself into this mess. Why couldn’t she just accept my help?“I have nothing to say to you, Dani. Leave me alone, for God’s sake.” She reached the suite and fumbled with the lock, but I caught up with her.“No, I won’t leave without talking to you. Don’t you realize what you’ve done, dammit?” Brynne froze and turned to stare at me. Lucien’s bodyguard tried to stop me, but Brynne asked him to leave. The guard left thankfully, but Brynne turned to confront me. “Look, Dani. I’m not in the mood to talk to you. After the way you behaved earlier, I don’t think we can be friends anymore. So, please, can you leave me alone?” She opened the door and walked inside.I followed her in and closed the door after us. Did she think she could get away from this mess easily? I fumed at her allegations. “How else did you expect me

    Daniella“This is breathtaking! Do you know Lucien Sylvester owns this?” said Julia, in awe. “Yes, it’s one of the largest private islands here. Let’s occupy a villa before it gets full.” Now the place was teeming with passengers, heading towards the main building or the villas sprawled all around. The restaurants on the island filled up fast. Some booked yachts, venturing out to explore further. There was utter chaos everywhere. My gaze fell on Brynne, getting off the ship with Lucien Sylvester! A wave of jealousy hit me hard this time. How was the boss still with her? Why hadn’t he disappeared like his cousin did? I was sure now Drake had returned home with Melissa last night. A Ferrari stopped before them, and Luke ushered her into it. I tried to gulp the insult down. Brynne acted as if I were her enemy rather than her best friend. Maybe once Lucien Sylvester dumped her, she would fall from her high pedestal and come to her senses. As the car sped away, the boys appeared from

    Daniella He smiled, moving his delicious lips over mine while his hands roamed through my hair slowly. But the gentleness was momentary. The moment I relaxed into his touch and relished his minty taste, he took over. His mouth ravished me with so much passion, it robbed me of my senses. I was so adrift in my ocean of ecstasy that I had no idea when he lowered me onto the sofa with his lips still fused with mine. “I want to burn with you!” he hissed, releasing my lips momentarily for breath before smashing them back again to mine. I kissed him back, giving vent to the heated lust that ravished every cell in my body. The need was so intense, it took control of my senses. His lips were warm, and so was his skin. I could do this all night and yet not get enough of him! He groaned against my mouth, his free hand finding my exposed skin at my waist where the top hitched. A gasp escaped my lips as I felt his rough hands stroking the skin on my waist and abdomen. Heat pooled between my l

    Daniella “Let’s make the most of our situation. The date continues!” Drake announced, rising and pulling me up with him.There was a tap on the door, and I frowned. “Are you expecting someone?” He shook his head, frowning deeply. Then he smiled, remembering something. “It should be our dinner. I opted for room service.” I released the breath I was holding. After his mom’s call, I seriously thought for once she was waiting outside to grab me by my neck! Drake accepted the food tray and locked the door. The sight of food made my mouth water. After a hectic day, I had no energy left to go out to eat. “Come on, help yourself. Or do you expect me to feed you?” He winked as he carried the food to the table. “I would love that!” I winked back, surprising him. “I see!” He sat at the table and patted his lap. “Sit and I’ll feed you!” His eyes sparkled as he challenged me, waiting for me to rise to the bait.My heart pounded in my chest. I wanted to accept his offer, but strangely, shyne

    DrakeI commiserated with Daniella on the dreadful situation we were in. Although it gave me a strange thrill, I couldn’t express it in front of her. “Who’s Jake? I saw you reacting to the name!” Ever since I had heard the name, I had been dying of curiosity. I wondered if he was her ex. From Daniella’s conversation with her mom, I could gauge her nature well. She had the same notorious reputation as I did. It didn’t deter me from wanting her. Who wanted an inexperienced virgin? It made me want to know her better. I couldn’t imagine how Daniella would be in bed. But I had to gain her trust first. She wasn’t one I could easily lure into having se* with me. “Do you have to remind me of him?” She groaned instead of giving me a straight answer. ‘Well, what did you expect, Drake?’ taunted my inner mind. But I wasn’t giving up. “Still, I need to know if I’m going to be a part of your future. Is he your ex?” “Hell, no. Jake’s my thirty-five-year-old neighbor who’s dying to marry me. He

    DaniellaBefore my body could react to his announcement, my phone buzzed with an incoming call from my mom. Startled, I almost jumped! Couldn’t Mom find another time to call? I was about to satisfy my urges and get kissed by the hot creature eyeing me like a piece of candy!“Your mom,” he reminded me, eyeing my phone as if I didn’t know that already. “Aren’t you taking her call?”I panicked. “No, she’ll know I’m with a guy! Her sixth sense is too strong! I can’t risk it.” The phone stopped buzzing, and I heaved a sigh of relief. But the magical moment was broken, and we just quietly cleared our lunch. Yet I couldn’t relax. I knew Mom’s nature. If she called once, she would do so repeatedly until she spoke to me.“So, what do you want to do now? Play twenty questions or rest?” We flopped onto the bed when my phone buzzed again.“Mom won’t let this go. I need to take this call. So shh, not a sound! You aren’t here. Get it?” I glared at him to force him to agree. What if he gave himself

    Daniella I tried to block my ears to his silly banter with Mrs. Griffin. If we were to act as a married couple, these shouldn’t affect me, right? Yet it did. Coz this was uncharted territory, and all we shared was a kiss and a horse ride. “Okay, let’s start, everyone!” said Mrs. Griffin, walking away. Drake leaned in towards me, his eyes dancing with excitement. I wondered what he was so excited about! Me cooking or him watching me cook! “Make it finger-lickin' good! I’ll be watching you!” He turned to go, but I grabbed his hand. “Where do you think you’re going? Stay and help.” I released his hand and shoved the whole chicken towards him. “Massage the oil all over.” He gave me a lost look. “Are you sure?” I nodded and set about preparing the vegetables and ranch dressing. We were making grilled chicken in Wild West Sauce to start with. Although it was a very basic recipe, I was making the sauce for the first time.
