Push here for Emergency Exit

Henry’s Point of View

The car ride to the ferry was consumed by silence, however it wasn’t awkward, it was… an easy silence. Once on the ferry, Rebecca and I left the car and headed to the lounge. It was there over what I now know is her favorite drink, a margarita, that we start to talk. I let her know I was a divorce coach and doing some work at the resort. I let her know that Lena had hired me to be her personal coach, which was met with mixed facial emotions. She chuckled yet a sadness returned to her eyes; her face is like a picture book, no words needed.

After arriving at the port in Split, we had a short drive to my favorite spot Dvor. I had only ever thought of bringing Beth here until now. The conversation flowed easily, but I couldn’t shake the sadness that escaped her earlier.

“Henry thank you for bringing me here, this is probably the best dinner I’ve ever had. Do you have anything planned for after?” The nope in her voice that I’d say no.

“Unfortunately, I do” I spoke with genuine regret, I was seriously considering canceling with Luka. “But don’t let that stop you from exploring, I’ll have my driver stay with you.” I knew she’d be in good hands, I needed to be her coach not her rebound…

Beck’s Point of View

I should have know a man like Henry would never find me attractive, but as soon as he told me Lena had hired him it all made sense. He was very good at what he does, several times I felt like we had a genuine connection. After being rejected for an evening after dinner on the heels of Sam’s ultimate rejection, I needed to feel wanted. It wasn’t my style, frankly I’d never done it before, but I was going to have a 1 night stand… I just needed some liquid courage! After hitting up a few bars and a few too many shots of tequila, I made my way to a strip club. According to the locals it was the place to be; what better way to get laid then entering to a boner fest!

Despite being inebriated, I couldn’t help but notice the amount of men staring at me. But one set of eyes stood out from a distance, I couldn’t see who they belonged to but… but the desire behind them was exactly what I desired. I made my way towards an area with a small stage for woman to dance, between the alcohol and the amazing work J did, I was feeling very sexy.

As I saunter onto the stage I keep constant eye contact with my mysterious man, breaking contact to look down as I sway to the music and squeeze my breasts. The possession in his eyes was making my core throb, a buzzing electric sensation was pulsing through my lips. Truth be told it had been nearly a year since I’d had sex, and when we did have sex there was hardly pleasure for me.

I’ve never felt my pussy so responsive from just a look. I start rubbing my legs together to help soothe the need to be touched, but I needed to rub my clit to give me any relief. I close my eyes and grind against the pole, letting out a loud moan. As I open my eyes and look to my mystery man’s eyes, they are now absent. I look around to see if I could spot him again and notice I have a few men have gathered to watch me… my chest started to tighten, oh my goodness… what have I done? “What the fuck Beck?!” I yell at myself. I can’t do this, I start to panic when and headed to the stairs off the stage.

“What’s wrong beautiful? We love whores like you!” A man yelled out.

A seemingly innocent looking man comes over and try’s to help me off the stage. At first I accepted his help, taking his hand as he helps me off. He shields me from the repulsive man who just yelled at me, after about a minute I noticed he wasn’t let go of my arm.

“Name’s Cole, the boss asked me to come get you.”

Full panic sets in, I’m being kidnapped… my head is dizzy, my chest squeezing so tight the air is escaping my lungs… “Rebecca, fight!” ran through my head… and with a moment of clarity I channeled all the hurt and anger of my lifetime and fought back. I yanked my arm causing my captor, Cole, to turn towards me. I punched with all my might at his face and throat, then kneed him in the groin. As he hunched over towards the ground I ran…I pushed on the emergency exit with force, looking back over my shoulder to ensure no one was on my heels… only to run into a broad chest at full force…
