Stefan's POV From the shadow of the private cabana nestled into the rocks, I watched them.The man I had seen with my wife.I had learned that his name was Freddy Montgomery.He was with his wife, a beauty, I must say, walking barefoot along the water's edge. She paused, pointing at a seashell in excitement while the idiot watched her like she was the goddamn sky.“There they go,” Casper said, watching them too. He raised a bottle of water to his lips and chugged it down. His gaze was hidden behind his sunglasses. “They're getting closer to the ridge. Should we follow?”“Don't be impatient, Casper. Let them enjoy the last of their peace. The launch party is in two days. We'll strike then.”He looked from me to the couple, then back, “Are you sure? We could take him down now. And no one will know about it,”I shook my head and looked at him. He knew how much being pushed irritated me. Only Chioma could do it. “The party,” I said. I don't intend to hide. I intend to set an example fo
Kaelia's POV We rose at the same time and headed towards the door. Sandie stepped into the corridor, followed by me, then Arielle, Chioma, and Daisy.We walked down the corridor in hurried steps. As we turned around the corner, we saw her.She looked like she was in her late thirties, maybe.She was on her knees outside one of the guest rooms, clutching her phone as if it had just betrayed her.Mascara-stained tears steamed down her face, staining the top part of her dress where they landed.Her blonde hair was dishevelled, like she had just rolled out of bed.Beside her, a suitcase lay with its contents spilling out, and she was shaking.“What's going on?” Sandie asked, reaching out to touch the woman. More people had started coming out of their rooms. Some stuck their head out of their doors, and when they saw that the scene was not worth their attention, they went back into their rooms.I got on my knees beside her, “Ma’am. Ma’am, are you okay?”She continued wailing, giving me no
Kaelia's POV Being flipped over like a pancake does take stress off your shoulders.I had never slept better in my life, and when I woke up the next morning, feeling achy and sore in all the right places, everything was perfect.I was alone on the bed, I knew that, but I still felt Freddy's presence around me. I could spend every day like this. In bed, making love with a hot guy and shutting out the rest of the world.But that was not possible.I reached out for my phone on the nightstand to remind myself what day it was because being cracked so hard could also make you lose track of time, too.The first thing I saw was a text from Sandie. It read, "I need your help ASAP." Come to my suite – Room 23.It was sent five minutes ago. I thought of ignoring it. The last thing I wanted anyway was to leave this hot man pacing the room in flimsy pants to walk to wherever Sandie was.Unfortunately, I was a girl's girl, and if a girl needed my help, well, she could call me up at delivery, and
Kaelia's POV WARNING!!!THIS CHAPTER CONTAINS EXPLICIT SEXUAL CONTENT. READERS DISCRETION IS ADVISED.I blinked. “What?”Not that I didn't hear what he said at first, but it was his voice. The way he said it.His jaw flexed. “You heard me. Take. It. Off.”It was a command, not a request. It sent a rush of heat between my legs. I felt myself getting slicker.His order seemed to set free something primal in me. I sat up slowly. I pulled the thin straps of the dress off my shoulders, trembling as I peeled it down, inch by inch, exposing my skin to the heat of his gaze. My breasts spilled free, round and perky. My nipples were already hard, and his eyes darkened like he was starving.By the time the dress slid off my hips, I was down to just my lace thong, and I was shaking with need. “God, look at you,” he muttered, dragging a hand through his hair. “You’re so beautiful. You have no idea what you do to me.”“Then show me,” I whispered.And that is exactly what he did. He climbed on
Kaelia's POV For a moment, I stood at the door watching him, and he sat on the bed, watching me too.“What's up?” I said as I finally stepped in. I dropped my phone on the table right next to the door and stood with my hands folded across my chest. “You're angry.”Damn right, I am.“And I'm tired of you being like this,” He said as he rose from the bed, tucking his hands into his pocket.I scoffed, “What gave it away?” I asked, sarcastically. “The way I've avoided you? Is that it?”“I didn't touch her.”I looked at him, confused. “I know you saw Chioma and me,” He said.“And you sat put beside her. Whatever she was telling you was too good for you to leave?” Now I was the one being controlled, but I didn't care. It was okay as long as I was the one in control.“It's not like that,” He said. I scoffed, “Okay. How is it then?”He didn't answer. “You should have seen the way she spoke to me, Freddy.” I said, “She felt that since she had talked to you and you gave her audience, she c
Kaelia's POV I didn't want to go. When I received a text from Sandie inviting me to go wine tasting with them by 5 pm, I almost refused.Apart from the fact that I had gotten a late invite, I was not in the mood for serious engagements. But she had added about five “please” to the text, and I felt it was rude to reject it.Moreso, the only alternative to sitting in our suite, wondering what Freddy was doing and fuming about him flirting with Chioma, seemed worse.So I changed into a more appropriate fit – flowy pants and a halter neck top – and headed to the spot.I knew Chioma was going to be there. I knew that, but maybe I could fake my way through a couple of hours of wine tasting without clawing her eyes out. The wine tasting was held in a courtyard shed, north of the eastern gates. There were about ten tables, each manned by a steward who poured with charming smiles and an enticing French accent. Daisy and Arielle were already at the third table when I arrived, but Sandie sto
