chapter 1

The décor of the hotel was immaculate,th whole interior design let me in utter awe and reverence.It was simply ethereal not something I expected to see in Las Vegas the supposed city of sin.

I really had never left my home town in Alabama so I didn't know what to imagine. My first ever vacation and leaving of Alabama was to go into hiding and rid myself of everything that had gone wrong in my life lately. I dropped my bags at the reception desk with a sigh.

A green eyed man with blond wavy hair and a name tag spelling Russell greeted me with a professional smile, beautiful but tight-lipped.

“Hi, I am Oliver Curtis, and I believe I have a reservation” I told him.

“Oh! Yes! Oliver and Simon? We've been expecting you” he beamed at me.

“Actually it's just Oliver, no Simon” I said as I swallowed the lump in my throat tying to look like it didn't bother me, but I was pretty sure my faltering smile gave it  all away.

Russell stared at me for a long uncomfortable while with a look in his eye that I could not read, then he picked a key ushering me forward he said “i’ll show you to your room”.

Walking round the table he picked up my bag,leading the way with a bit of smile in his eyes and said “ you are in room 6”

Walking forward and admiring the view of bungalow styled rooms,he smiled.

“The restaurant is open from noon till three for lunch, five till ten for dinner, whole the bar is open at all hours” he waved towards a thatch styled rooftop.

He unlocked the door to my room,walked in and placed my bag on the bed as I turned to admire the place. It was just as if seen on their promotional website,painted all white,tiled sea theme,the ceiling looked like clouds descended into the room, plus the king sized bed at the centre?

It was beautiful…perfect 

Sound of Russell clearing his throat brought me back to the present,oh, blonde wavy hair let down, green piercing eyes and pale skin? He was undoubtedly good looking “ our hotel is home for everyone, we don't encourage homophobes or racists, if you are uncomfortable with any guest here you can file a complaint, not all our guests come with patners” he said, paused for a bit then continued “if you are well rested feel free to look around, you can visit the bar, you might find someone……that might be looking for company. Enjoy your stay” he said as he walked off.

“ Uhh…” I blinked on even after he'd gone. Interesting.

Plopping down on my bed, my mind went to a lot of things, my thoughts started going wild.

I had three options, leave Alabama for good, stay and defend myself and company or come for a weeks vacation and clear my head. I chose the vacation without hesitation.

Leaving my company in my father's hands,I packed my bags,boarded a plane to Birmingham and finally to Las vegas for a weeks vacation.

I did all this by myself 

So I had no intention of spending a whole week wallowing in self pity and thoughts of Simon.

What was the point? Simon has made himself clear.  We were through, there was no “us”.

I unpacked,set off to look around. I found myself at the bar just like Russell had suggested.

Nothing here seemed urgent, I waited untill the bartender served three people before me. The bartender had  a mop of unruly frizzly red hair, square jaw,tanned skin, blue eyes and a brilliant smile.

“ Wilson” he smiled as he introduced himself.

“ Oliver Curtis” I smiled back

“ Cool what can I get you, Ollie?”

Ollie. Simon loved calling that.“just soda please”.

He quirked an eyebrow at my choice while serving me it a quick joke on coming to a bar and ordering soda.

He was quick on his feet and served with utmost efficiency, I lefarned from him that this hotel held about a thousand people.

Time with him was sweet, towards the changing of his shift, Russell came to join us, he easily dived into our conversations as it drifted from music,movies,sports, lifestyles,sex and all sorts of things it was fun.

Soon I witnessed them kiss and believe me my heart almost flew out of my body. Wilson chuckled at my reaction, they were apparently boyfriends.

Never had I seen two men so open about their sexuality, never had I seen two men kiss in front of me.

 Russell was the quiet and self-reserved one while Wilson was the outgoing one, ultimately, the fit, the clicked. Russell though quiet was expressives through his love clouded eyes, quick touches,brief kisses, adoring looks…. They were beautiful to watch and that? That I envied

The hotel was beautiful, private, intimate with a lot of gay men kissing in the open, dancing, which shocked me at first, but I became used to it by my second day here.

On my third day here, it felt like home I even started reviewing going back to Alabama or not, visiting Wilson is  the first thing I pu on my plan today, yes he was taken but… oh? Russell had Wilson placed on the countertop and was kissing him with reckless abandon.

“Oh hey” Wilson broke the kiss and stared at me lazily but with a hint of amusement in his gaze 

Russell looked at me, then looked at Wilson as they shared a look, a silent conversation which made Russell smile

He kissed Wilson then sat down on a bar stool “ so Ollie….”he trailed off

I stared at them, they were beautiful together, I felt envious at times. 

“How long have you dated Simon” Russell finally asked.

“Three years” I said with a smile

“Threes years? Damn!” Wilson said and I swore I could see his eyes about to pop

“Wilson” Russell said carefully and gently

“Nah it's cool” I replied then continued “ we've been seeing each other for two years, but secretly, I was mistakenly outed by his younger sister at my company gathering, she said Oliver and Simon kiss alot”

“damn kids” Wilson murmured under his breath I continued 

“Next thing I knew,Simon pressed rape charges, he said I raped him and threatened him to keep quiet about it, hence the kisses.”

“That is fucked up” Russell said

“Yea, everyone eventually found out he lied and had been with me for up to two years, but my hometown don't accept “my type” so.. Simon left town with his family, I had to stay I mean I have a ranch,resort, restaurants…. I couldn't leave everything behind. When I could no longer bear it, I left everything in my father's hands and left”

“Your parents, do they know?” Wilson asked

“Yes they do,since I was fifteen” I replied with a smile

“So… you are rich, billionaire rich or millionaire rich?” Wilson asked jokingly to lighten the mood

“Uh I have a comfortable net worth of 13 billion dollars” I replied sheepishly ignoring Wilson's amazed look. Russell didn't look surprised. He came from money my mind told me.

“Anyways, you have the chance to start anew” Russell said as he came towards us with  Wilson me, I was trapped in the middle thinking it was a group hug until he kissed Wilson with me there, I witnessed the exchange of saliva,the rubbing of tongues and the silver lining as they parted. “do you like it? Is this okay?” Wilson asked

All I could do was nod a Russell's hand appeared on my lower back I should have been shocked, alarmed but I welcomed it, I should have shied away, I didn't.

I moaned

Wilson looked me in the eye,the question was apparent but I couldn't answer him,I held him tighter holding him tight to me whilst rubbing my ass on Russell's clothed dick.

“What do you want” Russell asked gruff voice,dark and deep trailing kisses down my neck.

“You…both of you,want me”i whispered back vaguely feeling like lead 

“we can give you that” Wilson whispered as I felt Russell's hands in my pocket 

A door…My door was opened.when did we reach here?

Panting I was thrown on the bed, I had not words to tell them what I wanted or how I wanted it. I could only whisper a plea…

“Please”
