Luca's POV"Tell me it's a lie""It's true coach" "Ouch,that hurts" he hit me with two balls at a go as I unfailing dodged them."You should have kept your scandal to yourselves till after the match!""A stalker did it" I blamed"Well, that's by the way. Who you fuck is not my fucking problem Edgar, I just need you to put you all in this game. Thanks to your love life we are now in the spotlight, we have to win to prove to them . You being gay doesn't mean you are less!""That's so considerate of you coach. Thank you so much!" I said surprised at how people are actually cool with the whole thing. Guess time is changing so is the world embracing it. "Don't thank me yet young man, if we loose regardless of what the situation is. You're out of my team ""But Coach…""That's it!" He said going towards the football pitch and I sighed dragging myself. Our final practice and tactics is on and we have to put our all in all for the championship."Hey guys " I said to the team members as they
Luca's POV "The world’s smallest continent and the largest island, Australia, my new found paradise. Here we come""Didn't know you are a travel enthusiast" Arnold said laughing while sensually running his hands on my thighs."Why are you this calm and not hyped ,even the air hair smells so fresh and pure""We are still in the plane "By"Yeah, but I could feel it. ""This was once home ,you know""It will always be, " I said, squeezing his hands gently as we prepared to alight."So many Destination ,where are we starting from""Calm your horses Edgar,we will take a ride round to Hunter Valley. My parents own a winery there and a ranch …""Guess, they are aware of our visit then""They live in the city of Melbourne, will hardly know and even if they do. Won't care" he said with a sad tone that he quickly masked."Let's go explore paradise, my love"He smiled and led the way while I reamiend a step back admiring the whole serenity that comes with being Australia or maybe it's because I
Arnold's POV"Come on, it's a surprise" Lucas insisted on taking me somewhere special.We woke up a little bit late with a hangover from drinking too much. Lucas spent a good part of the evening promising me a hundred and one things he would love to do to me but couldn't make it standing straight to the cabin.Good thing our jeep is back."But you don't even know anywhere around here""Thanks to the internet" I had to hire a private investigator to help me out and even invite our host out. That's not what matters most at the moment.We went into the Five star hotel ,a good choice. He might be planning a romantic dinner for us ,glad he knows my taste.We approached the waitress who lead us towards the private booth where our reservation was made.Two elderly couples were sitting behind the door and I skipped a bit, only mother packs her hair with those types of hair clips.I turned to look at Lucas who had a big smile on his face. Nothing is funny about this, my heart is aching.Haven'
Luca's POV“Can I take a shower?” I asked.We had so much fun riding the horses under the rain and getting up from the mud up on the horse again.Australia Is officially my home away from home.“Only if I can take one with you,” he replied, then added, “I’m kidding. You can absolutely take a shower with no obligations. I realize that sounded a little…gross.”“Shut up and take a shower with me. That’s what I’m here for, right?”He stepped up to me, cupped my face, and brushed his smile against mine. We kept smiling as we kissed until he slipped his tongue into my mouth and the kiss changed. I loved the way he felt, so hard, so muscular, the way his body matched mine. Loved his scent, heady and masculine. I was already starting to get hard again when he pulled away. “I don’t think I’m gonna be able to get enough of that mouth of yours.” Then he swatted my ass. “Shower. I want to see you naked.”Goddamn, he really was bossy, and I liked it.I didn’t think I’d get enough of him either.Hi
SophiaI sigh as I readjust myself in my seat, pulling my skirt down self-consciously as it rides up my thighs. I smooth out the pretty, pastel blue sweater that I’ve decided to wear for my date tonight and hope my boyfriend appreciates the way it clings to my curves, even if it’s a little itchy.After all, Duke and I agreed to meet up here at our usual restaurant, The Peach Tree, for a nice dinner. It’s not my favorite place, but it’s okay. It’s better than some of the other restaurants in Millbrook at least, with cloths on the table and actual silverware instead of plastic utensils. The food is decent and the restaurant itself is nice with music piped in from hidden speakers and ambient lighting. It’s nothing too fancy, don’t get me wrong, but it’s nothing too shabby either. Plus, we come here a lot because of the prices. My boyfriend makes good money as an optometrist, but as he always says, how can you say no to bottomless salad and unlimited breadsticks? I just wish my friend wil
Chapter Thirty One“I’ll have the garden vegetable pasta, please. Please make sure the pasta’s cooked to perfection because sometimes it comes out dry and hard. And I’d like gluten-free pasta, actually, because it settles better on my stomach. And instead of basil, I’d like parsley. No zucchini—I hate zucchini—just put extra squash in the pasta. Did you hear that? I said extra squash. There should be plenty in there to replace the zucchini. Don’t be stingy! And last, no onion. I’m allergic to that stuff and I’ll probably go into anaphylactic shock if I even consume a tiny sliver of it.”“Of course sir,” the waiter murmurs before turning to look at me. I wear an embarrassed smile as I nod.“I’ll just have the chicken cutlet with mashed potatoes. Thank you so much—”But then Duke cuts me off with a frown. His eyes land on my stomach and stay there long enough for me to start squirming uncomfortably while trying to suck it in. I already know what he’s thinking because I’m a bigger girl.
“Yeah, I thought it was crazy too, but I guess they don’t keep any valuables there or anything. So yeah, the cabin’s free for anyone to use.”Duke thinks about it for a while longer, and at that moment, the food arrives. Once the server disappears again, he’s wearing a large smirk and nodding his head at me.“You’re a bad girl,Sophia , but that’s just what I like about you,” he says while stabbing his fork into his pasta. “This is perfect because I could use a relaxing weekend away. I’m just going to kick back, relax, and live like a king. And best of all, it’s free.” Then, he takes a huge bite of his pasta while I nod enthusiastically.“Right? I mean, we’ll clean up after ourselves, and I’m going to get Sassy a really nice gift when her birthday rolls around to make up for it. But yeah, I think this is a good opportunity for us,” I enthuse while taking a bite of my salad. Ugh. The leaves are practically flavorless, dry, and not all appetizing with no dressing of any sort, but I still
But instead of bitching at him about it, I take a deep breath and nod, hurriedly excusing myself from the living area. I try to calm myself down as I speed-walk to the kitchen, reminding myself that I’m here for a purpose this weekend: to get my ass cherry popped, and then sayonara. I’ll be saying goodbye to this pompous asshole, even if it makes things uncomfortable at work.After all, Duke can be such a prick sometimes. It’s like he doesn’t care about me or my feelings even one iota. At first, I thought that he was just socially awkward or completely oblivious or something, but now I’m almost sure that he fully understands that the way he talks to me is unacceptable, but he just doesn’t give a damn.Then again, Duke has a decent job and a steady career, so maybe I should just shut it. It’s not like there are lots of eligible men lining up to ask me out, so I have to be thankful for what I have. Plus, he’s not too bad looking, if you like the Italian mafioso look. His black hair tend
