LOGINAdam carefully pulled out of her and helped her stand up. He gently brushed his hand across her face and then kissed her—a calmer, almost reverent kiss.“Let’s take a shower. I think we’re already late for our flight. Come on.”They went to the shower together, but they didn’t do anything more, even though they still wanted to. If they kept going, they knew they wouldn’t make it back to Seattle that day.After the shower, Adam noticed that her ass was quite red. He moved closer to Samantha, looking concerned.“Are you okay? Did I hurt you?” he asked, his voice heavy with guilt, afraid he had used too much force.“I’m fine, you didn’t hurt me,” she replied, but she clearly looked embarrassed.“It’s really red. Lie down on the bed. I’ll put some ointment on it.”Adam realized something was off with her. If it wasn’t because he had hurt her, he needed to find out what it was, because she seemed ashamed. Samantha lay face down on the bed, and Adam approached, starting to apply the ointmen
After that kiss, things heated up quickly between them. Making up like this felt incredibly good. By now, the wrap dress Samantha was wearing was completely undone, leaving her body exposed wherever his hands roamed.The two of them weren’t worried about fooling around in the sitting area. They had the key card with them, and even if any of the bodyguards had one, they wouldn’t be crazy enough to walk in without permission.Adam removed the dress completely, leaving her in nothing but lingerie, and guided her to the sofa, continuing to caress each other. As the kisses grew more intense, he unclasped her bra, cupped one of her breasts, and brought it to his mouth. Samantha was breathing hard and letting out soft moans of pleasure. Then he stopped, stood up, and brushed his hand across her face. Samantha looked at him, confused.“I can’t take it anymore, baby. I don’t care if this wound opens up again, if it gets infected, or even if it kills me… but tonight I’m going to have you the wa
Samantha stood by the door that led to the balcony, staring outside, lost in her thoughts. She heard the bathroom door open, turned around, and saw Adam stepping out wearing only a towel, his hair wet and some parts of his body still damp. The sight gave her an incredible view of that masculine, sensual body. This time, he looked at her, but his gaze wasn’t gentle like before.She moved away from the glass door and walked toward him, still holding his stare. When she got close, Adam grabbed both of her hands, raised them above her head, and stood very close.“What exactly happened in that bathroom, Samantha?” His voice came out low and husky.“He showed up in the bathroom and wouldn’t let me leave. When I tried, he pinned me against the sink and tried to kiss me.”“How did he grab you? Like this?” He gripped her waist firmly. “And did he try to kiss you like this?” He kissed her, but she didn’t kiss him back.Samantha really didn’t like what he was doing. He had never treated her that
As soon as Samantha left the bathroom, she headed toward the table where she had been sitting. Before she could reach it, she felt a hand wrap around her waist and something cold press against the side of her belly. She glanced sideways and didn’t recognize the man who was embracing her and smiling at her as if they were old acquaintances. She looked down and realized that what was pressing against her stomach was a gun. When she raised her eyes back to the man, he spoke with the same smile on his face:“Come with me quietly, and everything will be fine.”He started guiding her away. Samantha obeyed, her heart racing. They passed through the kitchen and headed toward a door at the back that led to a side alley behind the restaurant. The man ordered her to open the door. The moment they stepped outside, she heard the unmistakable sound of a gun being cocked, and he abruptly stopped in his tracks.Caio, who was also getting ready to go after Adam, caught a glimpse of the scene. He quic
She tried to break free, but Hugo was much stronger. She attempted to kick him, but he was quicker—he anticipated the move and stepped between her legs, making it impossible for her to land a kick.“Let me go, you idiot! I already told you I don’t want anything to do with you!” she snapped, struggling against him.“Why? You got a boyfriend? If that’s the case, I can promise I’m not the jealous type,” he said, gripping her waist tightly.Meanwhile, Adam was starting to find Samantha’s absence strange. He decided to go check on her. He told Caio he was heading to see what was taking so long and started walking toward the restroom.Samantha kept struggling, silently praying that Adam or Caio would come looking for her—preferably Caio, because she had no idea what Adam would do if he saw her in this situation or whether he’d even believe she didn’t want it. While she tried once more to break free, Hugo tightened his grip on her waist and leaned in to kiss her. She managed to turn her face
Samantha decided not to go down to the pool like Adam had suggested. She stayed in the room, reading the book and chatting with Pedro, who told her all about his dinner with Andrew—how sweet and attentive he had been.Close to lunchtime, Adam sent her a text letting her know the meeting was almost over and she could start getting ready.At the meeting, everything that needed to be settled was taken care of. The fact that he was being betrayed was already known to him. Now he just needed to find out exactly who the traitor was and how many others were involved in the scheme.Another thing Adam already knew was that the man who had shown up at their room earlier that day didn’t actually work for the hotel. When he texted Caio, he and another bodyguard had grabbed the guy. During the interrogation, the man admitted his orders were to take Samantha if she was alone in the room. He just hadn’t gotten lucky—Adam was still there, which made it impossible for him to carry out the plan.He als
