Chapter 18 – Some Like To Ogle

~ Nicolette ~I stayed in my family’s house until the next day chatting with my mom about whatever topic we could make out under the sun, in the local grocery store, in a Krispy Kreme shop, in a car wash, and in the house. My dad had to go to work, so it was just the two of us who had some real bonding time.Surprisingly, Lucien hadn’t texted or called me for that amount of time, making me feel relieved. Being the owner of a business empire surely he had more important matters to attend to other than mess with my life.Late in the afternoon I returned to my apartment. As much as I wanted to stay with my family longer, I had responsibilities waiting for me, and one of those was to pack my necessities for my Brazil stay and the expedition.As I expected, Ms. Banks sent me an email about the instructions for our flight via Mr. Andretti’s private jet. Good thing she said she’d be with us during the entire trip. At least I wouldn’t be totally alone with my temporary employer, and that know

Chapter 19 – Some Like To Use the Bed

~ Nicolette ~ Mr. Andretti’s private plane could carry at least a hundred and fifty people, yet here we were—Ms. Banks, my employer himself, four flight attendants, the captain, and me—occupying the wide space.The interior could be compared to any private plane on the market: a lounge area, three bedrooms, a kitchen, a minibar, and two toilets: one just regular while the other specially made for VIP use.So far, all I saw told me this man was indeed a wealthy man, probably like Lucien himself. But I was yet to witness his authority over the people under him, something I had no doubt would be visible soon.Ms. Banks fetched me this morning at my apartment, and with the help of her driver, my luggage was neatly inside the trunk of the Benz in less than a minute. She gave me a printout version of our activities for the next two days, and this was what I was reading now after the plane’s liftoff thirty minutes ago.Everything was written in the printout including the name of the hotel—t

Chapter 20 – Some Like To Get Drunk

~ Nicolette ~The resort hotel we were in was a place of luxury. One could definitely call it a home away from home. The grand building, its interior, the landscaped garden, the palm trees, the pools, and the beach themselves: everything screamed paradise.Yet this hotel was the same as those hotels I had been to in my previous travels. They had this common theme: all too earthly.I knew I shouldn’t think of it, but these hotels couldn’t even be compared to the ice castle in the Kingdom of Crimea. That place was just more than jaw-dropping. I’d be lying if I said I didn’t want to go back there and have more than a three-day tour.But that was just me and my spontaneous side. I knew full well the consequences of returning to that strange world without Lucien guiding me.It would be a disaster in my life. So I was content to settle on one of Earth’s best: the hotel I was in.After a few questions at the front desk, I went straight to my assigned room. Since it was already dinner time wh

Chapter 21 – Some Like To Suck

~ Lucien ~My hands clenched and unclenched many times on the day of Nicolette’s flight going to Brazil.I was hoping she would commit to wearing the ring I gave her, but she damn didn’t.I could feel the ring’s presence inside a cold, dark compartment, her bag surely, and it fucking pissed me off.But the fact that I was partly at fault too somehow lessened my anger toward her. I should have told her the main purpose of that object. I should have said it was meant to protect her. That it had an enchantment in it. That it served as a GPS system. A locator. That everywhere she’d go, I would know. If her heartbeat increased due to danger of any kind, I would know. If that damn Envoy of Foressa touched her, I would know. But I didn’t tell her that.Fuck.I should have given it to her in person too; slid the ring onto her finger like a fucking love-struck husband. I should have made her promise not to take it off. How stupid of me to let the letter do my job.Now that mistake bit me in th

Chapter 22 – Some Like To Hide

~ Nicolette ~My cheeks heated upon hearing Lucien’s promise. It rang deep into the recesses of my brain, passed through my heart, and straight into my very soul, allowing me time to sink the information in.He really wanted me.I didn’t reply. I just remained silent. But if I did, I would have said a thank you. Thank you because he considered my feelings.I won’t lie. It pricked my heart hearing him say another woman’s name while touching me. The insecurity was real, and it gnawed at me full time. It brought two questions to my mind.Was he in love with her? So much so he had to mention her name?But at the same time, I understood him. If he did love that woman so much, uttering her name was bound to happen.It made me realize that Lucien—yes, despite how rude, crude and cocky he appeared to be—knew how to love.I pressed my forehead against his neck, basking in the scent of him that was all man: virile and dominant. His heartbeat drummed an irregular rhythm like mine. It told me he

Chapter 23 – Some Like It Drenched

~ Nicolette ~With our mouths still locked, Lucien lifted me and pressed me against the wall. My legs instantly curled around him, trying my best to keep my weight just above his waist.I wasn’t afraid of falling to the floor. Lucien was strong. With just one arm around my torso, he secured me in place.I moaned when his lips parted from mine, seeking to attack my already hypersensitized neck. I flung my head back, eyes squeezing shut, and grabbed fistfuls of his short hair.God, how I wanted to do the same with his long hair, but in the meantime, I’d make do with what was in front of me.His tongue swirled wildly on my skin, sucking and nipping, most likely refreshing the hickey he had given me last night. I was lucky enough Mr. Andretti didn’t see it earlier, but due to this, I wouldn’t be tying my hair up for quite some time.My mouth opened, hauling in air as his lips trailed kisses down my chest. His hot breath was like burning coal caressing the slope of my neck and like a frail

Chapter 24 – Some Like It Covered

~ Lucien ~The beach.Ah, yes, the beach.Zaxonia had one too. Same bluish-green color, same salty taste. Same purpose too: for fishing, boating, and recreation.But I had never loved the beach. Never stepped foot on a boat after what took place nine years ago. Honestly, I didn’t even want to be near its waters, but Nicolette in a bikini sounded promising to look at.Yet here I was now, phone close to my ear, in a telecom meeting to which my presence and inputs were needed.The area I was at happened to be in between a pool and the restaurant Nicolette and her team were in. I didn’t need to worry about Ira catching me. Clyde was with them. He could always call me if that damn Envoy of Foressa was to walk in my direction.Fortunately, I didn’t get any news from the butler. Good. I couldn’t afford any nuisance when I worked. However, I guessed, I spoke too soon.In the middle of my busy discussion, I felt someone’s presence behind me, a female particularly, even before she snaked her ar

Chapter 25 – Some Like To Stare

~ Nicolette ~Once Lucien left, I expected Sherlie to incessantly ask me about him, but oddly enough, she didn’t. Except for inquiring about how we knew each other, she didn’t delve deeper.I didn’t mind, though. My knowledge of Lucien was limited. I didn’t think I would be able to give her the answers she needed for her agency if she were to ask me.Clyde arrived right before we headed to the beachfront. Sherlie disliked the idea of me changing into a different swimming outfit but in the end conceded. It was a must anyway that I change. Otherwise, if I didn’t, I’d end up not enjoying my beach moment due to the two angry red hickeys Lucien created.Sherlie and I claimed two reclining beach chairs with white cushions once I finished changing. They were side by side and well-shaded by a wide, blue cloth umbrella. There were others positioned in the same manner over the stretch of the shoreline, but we chose this spot because it was near a bar.Sherlie wanted a piña colada, so she ordere

Chapter 26 – Some Like It Deep, Deep, Deep

~ Lucien ~I didn’t need further words. What Nicolette said was enough. Her invitation was damn...Clear.As crystal.I closed the gap that distanced us and looped my arm around her waist. Wanting to tease her a bit, I didn’t claim her mouth yet. My face just hovered several millimeters away from her.Our warm breaths mixed, turning into that kind of oxygen that sent a good kind of buzz in my head. It was intoxicating.“Lucien,” Nicolette breathed out, clearly impatient. She parted her mouth, pressed her chest against mine, and tiptoed to reach me.I grinned; amusement and pleasure filling my eyes.“Nicolette, are you aching for me?”I watched her lips close and open again, but this time, her tongue darted out to wet her bottom lip.“Yes, I am.”“Metana,” I replied, but remembered she didn’t understand my Zaxonian language so I translated, “Good, because I am certainly going to make you ache even more. Bring you to holiness. Give you the kind of experience no woman here on Earth has e

Chapter 27 – Some Like To Hit The Shower

~ Nicolette ~I woke with the feeling of heaviness on my back. Really. It was so heavy I struggled to breathe for a moment until I slightly pushed myself up. Against the dim lampshade, the sight of unruly black hair greeted my peripheral vision, and then a hand on my shoulder blade.The hell, I thought.Lucien just made a pillow out of me.With me lying prone with my arms above my head and him half on top of me, there was only one explanation why I was in this position—I had passed out after the fifth time we did it, and it seemed he took advantage of the situation and decided not to move his head onto a perfectly soft pillow.It wasn’t the usual position after a lovemaking, but I had to admit, Lucien in bed with me felt so damn right. So good. There was a sense of calmness with him, a sense of completion that I just couldn’t point out.In a situation like this, naked and all, with legs intertwined and skin against skin, a blanket would have helped to drive away the cold. We had one d
