All the distance in the world between us couldn't erase that kiss. Olivia's soft lips barely landed on mine before I pulled away. It was a five second kiss, but here I was three hours later, touching my fingertips to my lips. Like some seven year old who just kissed his crush for the first time. Her naked body. Her moans. Her coming undone for me. Her pleas to come with me. Our night together. All of it fell away with every unanswered call to Macy.
But Olivia's lips on mine? Those bambi eyes? The moment she asked me for more. My last moments with her before I left for the airport. This my mind wouldn't let me bury. That I couldn't chalk up to the involvement of my horny dick. "Peanuts?" the air hostess asked, coming to a standstill with her cart at my seat on the plane. "This is first class on a Hunter Airways plane. We don't do—" I began, then stopped short as her distinct Italian accent finally rang a bell, yanking me out of my brooding. "Took you long enough. You're slipping. Long time no see Chance," she said, dropping in the seat across from mine. "Robbie. My regards to Marino. Always a displeasure," I said calmly while considering how to deal with this new development. My love life was a shitshow, but I was a functioning member of society. Nothing and no one was disrupting the life I clawed my way to. Not even fucking Marino. "Is that any way to greet an old friend? For the record, first class does have peanuts. See?" she said, shaking the bag of peanuts in her hand at me. "Would you prefer a stiff drink instead? I got you. Bourbon still your poison?" "What's the job?" I asked, closing the laptop in front of me so I could stare at my old friend and face her head on. That was the only way to talk to Robbie. If you didn't give her all your attention, you'd miss something crucial. That was how she screwed you over. "That's not how this works, Chance. Not unless you want in. What are the odds of us meeting like this? Serendipity," she said, folding her hands behind her neck to draw attention to her dress' low neckline. "Serendipity my ass. You're stalling me. Why? What are you doing on my plane, JR?" I asked stoically, zeroing in on her face. Roberta "Robbie/JR". My oldest friend in the world. Also the single biggest mistake I ever made. I learned a long time ago never to look where she wanted me to unless I had a fucking death wish. "Last I checked, your last name isn't Hunter. So not your plane. Also this isn't a private plane. A girl has to get around somehow," said JR, grabbing her tits and readjusting them for effect. My eyes remained fixed on her face. Despite the way I had been acting lately, I really didn't usually let my dick dictate events. Olivia was fucking with my head, but JR wasn't about to do it too. Especially when the stakes were this high. "Seven years of no contact and the old man still can't let it go? Are you sure he doesn't have a boner for me, JR?" I asked, shaking the tree to see what fell out. She laughed like she was charmed, but it was a calculated move. Lasted exactly ten seconds. Just long enough to seem natural before she opened her mouth to speak again. She was buying time. Stalling. Waiting for the plane to leave. But why? "Marino likes pussy and you know it. You're the one that got away though. Platonically of course. That's why I'm here. To invite you to come home," she said, crossing her long legs as she bent over to offer me a view down her little red dress. "Why now?" I asked, feeling the seconds ticking by. Could I stop this plane? No. It would derail one hundred guests from reaching Cupid's Cove, fucking up my first assignment as COO from the getgo. JR probably already knew this and yet the bitch was still on edge. Still stalling me. Figure it out before the plane leaves. "You and I both know he would have asked sooner if he could only find you. Plus there's your very… Unique new gig. Marino is low on funds. That's the job. Will Hunter's the job, Chance," she said nonchalantly as we stared each other down. She was playing some angle by revealing this information, but say what you will about JR, she was no liar. "Go back to Marino and tell him the Hunters are off limits. Find another mark," I said bluntly, not thinking it through as I saw red at the mention of Will. "You may be Marino's boy wonder, but he doesn't take orders from the likes of you," she spat back at me, her voice unforgiving as she stood her ground. Ask her now. If she was going to crack, now would be the time. "What is on this plane that you want on Cupid's Cove, JR? How did you even make it onto my guest list? I vetted that list of people myself," I said, trying to make connections with the little information at my disposal. "Ladies and gentlemen, we are preparing for take off," the pilot announced. JR grinned at me as a string of other announcements followed. "Out of time, Chance," she said, bringing her lips to my ear to whisper her triumph to me. "Strap in. We're leaving. I can't wait to see the island. Word is it's gorgeous. I could use a vacation." She closed the distance between us and picked up the ends of my seat belt for me. "Is it Will? Is he here? What the fuck did you do? If you hurt so much as a—" That didn't make sense. Will was in Rio de Janeiro, probably fucking his wife six ways to Sunday by now. Fuck. JR was right. I wasted time freaking out instead of finding out what I needed to know. I was slipping. Civilian life had made me soft. "Wait to turn me down. You might feel like changing your mind in a minute," she said, kissing me on the cheek, mischief in her eyes as she buckled the seat belt for me. "Tell Marino to consider it a professional courtesy to me. I'm not the boy he knew seven years ago. I'm connected. I've… Evolved. You do not want to come after my people," I said threateningly. "Tell it to someone who cares. Meet Marino personally if you want to. Join me on the job and no one gets hurt. Or just eat a bag of dicks. All of the above works for me," said JR distractedly. Her eyes left mine as she raised her head, staring straight ahead and breaking out into a beautiful, angelic smile. Attractive. Resourceful. Lethal. I didn't need this shit on my very first assignment as COO. Who the fuck was that pseudo innocence for? "Hey angel," JR said, dropping into the seat across from me and patting her lap. "Look who I ran into. THE Harmon Chancellor, COO of Hunter Industries. Isn't that neat?" she cood. "Hey sexy lady. You can't go around stealing carts from air hostesses you know. You'll get yourself in trouble," a familiar voice rang out as she approached JR, ignoring me completely and dropping into JR's lap. "That's why I have you. To protect me," said JR, the two women sharing a string of giggles as they got comfortable. I looked on in stunned awe as the women before me stuck their tongues down each other's throats, resulting in a full blown make out session. My heart was in my throat. The worst part? I was fucking getting hard watching this shit unfold as JR groped at her companion. JR's hands were all over her body. JR opened one eye to see how I was reacting, smirking at me. I was losing my shit. Fucking no. Dammit Harmon. Wrong Hunter. Rage washed over me in waves. I wanted to rip JR's throat out while she still had one hand on Olivia's tit and the other on her ass. "Miss Hunter, I thought I was clear about you staying in LA," I said, my blood boiling at the sight before me. "The problem was me trying to fuck you while on Cupid's Cove, right? Well as you can see, problem solved. Let's keep it profesh, boss," said my baby girl, yanking her mouth away from JR's just long enough to throw me a challenging look before turning back to JR with a wide beam on her face.All the distance in the world between us couldn't erase that kiss.

Acting on instinct, I jumped up from my bed and away from Olivia. If looks could sear off dicks, I would be doubled down on my knees, bleeding out. "Mace, you know how I am," Olivia began, feebly trying to explain our way out of this fiasco. "Harmon didn't—" "Don't fucking Mace, you know how I am me," Macy exploded, her face seething with anger. "One year. Exactly one fucking year yesterday I've been putting up with whatever the fuck this is. Believing you every time you said you weren't sticking your dick in her. Just a last minute meeting, Mace. My fucking ass. You're exactly the piece of shit I thought you were, Harmon Chancellor."I wanted to face palm again as I internally groaned. No wonder Macy was so angry on the phone last night. It was our one year anniversary yesterday and I completely forgot. Plus she had a point. I did fuck Olivia and it blew my fucking mind. "Nothing happened last night," I said carefully, suddenly uncertain why I
"Sorry. No clean clothes here since Macy demanded I stop having a drawer here. You don't mind me borrowing your shirt, do you daddy? You weren't using it anyway," said Olivia, looking up at me with tired eyes, batting her eyelashes innocently before she dragged her fingers down my naked chest and abs, licking her lips as her eyes followed the movement of her hand down my muscular build. It was a morning thing. That was what I told myself as I looked down at her wrapped up in my arms in my bed, in nothing but my shirt with only two buttons done up. Thinking it best not to inspire any additional flirtation, I tried not to tell her I was the one that put my shirt on her last night. Instead, I withdrew my arms from around her and turned my back on her, hoping to hide the morning wood I was sporting. "I swear you still had your bra on when I put that shirt on you, Miss Hunter," I said, outing myself, the blood in my dick clearly impairing the function of my brain despite my best intenti
I drunkenly stumbled through his apartment to do his bidding. Competing thoughts fought for my attention as I approached his bedroom door. Harmon wouldn't say that. He said no. He always said no. He didn't say no last night. Sure sounded like him. Was the voice I was hearing real or did I crave him so badly that I was hearing things? "Only one way to find out," I said to myself, laying my hand on the door knob of his bedroom door. The yelling died down a while back, so the phone call was over. Wasn't it? Maybe he really had invited me into his bed after all. Maybe he needed comfort because he and Macy were really done this time. Like this my drunken brain convinced me a good dicking awaited me on the other side of his bedroom door. The anticipation, the dire need to come, the booze. It was all going to my head. "Fuck it," I finally whispered, opening the door. "Baby girl, yes. Just like that," Harmon's deep, relieved voice filled the room as he sighed with pleasure. I froze i
His words were sobering. They left no room for argument. It should be illegal, the way he mocked every man in his vicinity, knowing he was drop dead gorgeous and they were all just boys compared to him. "I tried that earlier today, remember? You refused to stick it into me," I said, puckering my lips and blowing him a kiss before bending to his will and sliding into my seat. He slammed my door closed and jogged over to the driver's seat. Now sitting next to me, he calmly approached me. His whole body turned towards me and he leaned in. "Ouch," I said, wiping away a trickle of blood from the corner of his mouth. Genuine concern flooded my body, despite Harmon having bled far worse for me in similar situations."You've got to stop showing up like this. You'll make me think I still have a shot, daddy."I said this to him, eyes closed, on the brink of dozing off as I grabbed onto his tie and pulled him towards me. For better or worse, no matter what was going on between us, I was safe
"Want to run that by me again, baby girl?" he asked coldly, voice so chilling it sent a shiver down my spine. "Daddy's an alpha male. Better do it right if you're going to threaten me. Do you understand the stakes, Miss Hunter?" His hardened facial features had me faltering, but there was no way I could back down now. Something in the way I moved made his shoulders drop as he sighed, watching me close the distance between us. "You want to fuck me again, Harmon. No one has to know. Not Billy. Not Macy. No one," I said, turning up the charm as I reached for his tie, desperately hiding my nervousness behind a sultry, seductive voice. "I'll know. If you tell him, if we happen and it goes south, I won't just lose my job, I'll also lose him. I'll lose you, Olive," he said, his voice dropping low, eyes cast down as he watched my fingers play with his tie. I might have been mistaken, but I swore I heard his voice break on the word you. He had me transfixed. Rooted to the spot before him.
