Wednesday. Luxe Ibiza Hostel, Cala Gració, Ibiza.ORION DOUKAS WALKED BAREFOOT through the lush, manicured grass. Things were still quiet despite the late afternoon hour. According to security, the after party the guests had indulged in had lasted until six or seven this morning. About the time he was getting up.That wasn't uncommon.Ibiza was, after all, Europe's playground. A destination for people who wanted to party, live it up, and forget their mundane lives. He'd spent much of his life here, despite his American citizenship. His parents had been fond of the island and the proximity it gave them to his father's family.He glanced east, toward the old family home. Though he'd been born in New York City and spent much of his early life there, the memories that stayed with him were here. On the island.Following his younger brother's death, he'd sold his parent's home. There just weren't enough good memories to justify keeping the place, what with all the upkeep it need

Wednesday. Zechariah Mizrahi's Party. Sant Antoni de Portmany, Ibiza.THE LIGHTS PULSED IN time to the music. Most of the bodies crammed onto the back patio turned dance floor at least tried to move in time to the beat. Most were too drunk to know what a beat was. Hell, Jennifer had already pulled one drunk girl out of the pool and it was still technically early.That had gotten her a glare from Milan, who likely more concerned about Jennifer's dress than the state of the drunk girls.Every time Milan went out, Jennifer wore a matching or similar outfit. The reason being, Jennifer could be a pretty damn convincing body double in a pinch. Given how many parties Milan went to, Jennifer had run interference on hundreds of creepy guys. She hadn't known this was part of the job when she'd taken the contract. Though she should have wondered at the higher than average salary. She hadn't known at the time that not only was it her skills that had gotten her the job, so had her face, ha

Wednesday. Zechariah Mizrahi's Party. Sant Antoni de Portmany, Ibiza.BAIN COLLIAS CIRCLED THE party, but Milan Esposito had vanished. He should be annoyed. Then again, it wasn't every day his boss sent him to schmooze at some rich guy's house party. Bain could really get used to this. Everything here was free. The booze. The women. The drugs.There wasn't much of the latter that he'd seen. It was early still. The true party crowd likely hadn't arrived yet.Where the hell had Milan gone?He'd thought coming at her straight and telling her he knew about the egg would have gotten a reaction out of her. She didn't strike him as particularly smart. Otherwise, she'd never have stolen what she had. But she hadn't acted as if she knew anything.What the hell?Was it possible the little rich girl was a better thief than they'd realized?Or what if she was just plain stupid?The last one seemed a better option. Maybe she really had thought he was talking about plain old eggs?

Wednesday. Luxe Ibiza Hostel, Cala Gració, Ibiza.JENNIFER BOUGHT HERSELF TIME tasting the drink. The bartender had a heavy pour. Already her limbs felt warmer and the tension she'd carried with her had eased. Her mental faculties weren't impacted. Yet.All this time she'd assumed Orion knew everything about her, just like he did everyone else.He'd always been the wealthy playboy in her mind. Yes, he played at the role of former SEAL and friendly proprietor. But that was an act. She'd never doubted that there were dozens of other women he flirted with. That there was someone in his bed each and every night, but he somehow managed to be discrete enough to keep it from his guests.This one change shifted everything she knew about him.She'd always held herself back from this attraction because she didn't want to be one of many. She wanted to finally be special to someone. Perhaps it was a silly, immature dream she'd latched onto a few years back, but that was it. Her small
Aegis Group Dangerous Ladies Chapter 58: Jennifer
Jennifer nipples tightened and her whole body tingled.Any moment he'd push her up against the desk or the wall...Cool air kissed her lips.Jennifer blinked a few times as Orion stepped back, his hand trailing down her arm to hook his fingers with hers."You are a dream," he muttered."Oh?"What the hell?Oh?Really?"I always thought that would go a little differently." He smiled at her with a boyish charm she didn't often see."What?" Her head was spinning. What was he talking about?He took a step toward her and cupped her face. "I've wanted to kiss you since the moment you first stomped out of that limo."She winced.That hadn't been a good introduction. She'd thought he was some employee, and she'd snapped orders at him out of frustration.His smile widened into a grin and he pressed his forehead to hers."I think, this is where we say goodnight," he said."What?" she said again. Was he serious?"You have admitted you are exhausted. Today has bee

Thursday. Luxe Ibiza Hostel, Cala Gració, Ibiza.ORION HELD HIS WORK phone in his hand and stared at Maria. In all the time he'd owned the hostel, there were fewer than five times he hadn't had the phone on him. The hostel was his life. But if he always put work first, he'd never have anything for himself. Still, this was a big step to take."You will contact me if anything happens," he said.Maria smiled and grasped the phone. "Yes, Mr. Doukas. Go enjoy your day."He tightened his grip.She pulled.He couldn't reach for one thing while holding onto another.Reluctantly, he gave up the phone.Maria quickly pocketed the device while doing her best to not laugh at him. Her dark eyes sparkled with life.He let his hands fall to his sides.The staff were top-notch. His security was the very best and were armed to the teeth in the event of any need. Maria would see to everything else, ensuring meals were delivered and their guests taken care of.Besides, it was mid-
Aegis Group Dangerous Ladies Chapter 60: Orion
Orion hoisted her up to the deck and wrapped his other arm around her waist. While he wouldn't call her reaction enthusiastic, she looked at him with warm curiosity. Considering that he'd half expected to find her in angry badger mode, he was thrilled."Welcome aboard, ma'am," he said.She placed her free hand on his shoulder. "Thanks for having me. I think."Orion was tempted to kiss her right then and there. Her body was soft against his. It was just them and the water.Not yet."Now, for the rest of the surprise." He let go of her and glanced toward the dining table set up not far away.A brown shopping bag sat in one of the seats."The rest?" she echoed.Orion grabbed the bag and turned to face her. "Yes. There is surprise appropriate attire. You have options. The plan which can always change, is to stay on the boat until roughly four. We can do nothing, swim, fish, watch TV, play video games-whatever you like. And, there's an outfit for each of those activities I t
Aegis Group Dangerous Ladies Chapter 61: Orion
Orion stared into her eyes, willing her to believe him finally, and answer one question he'd always wanted to know. "My priorities have always been the same. You just never take me at my word. Why is that?"She pushed up and crossed her legs. A little wrinkle developed between her brows. She reached for a cracker, cheese and slice of meat, creating a mini sandwich. He didn't quite hold his breath, but it was a question he'd always wanted an answer to."You have flirted with me from the day we met." She locked eyes with him and that wrinkle deepened. "I have always assumed I wasn't special. I was just another woman..."Jennifer glanced out at the water.She was so very strong. What had happened to her to create the need for that strength? These walls?Orion licked his lips, considering his words very carefully."There was a period of my life when your assumption would have been correct. But, at that time I lived in California. I'd like to think I was a different person. When
