Mary arrived at the beach house and just like she expected it was swarming with cop cars. The car skidded to a halt, she jumped out almost immediately running towards the house. “Ma'am" “Hello officer” She extended her hand for a handshake. “Mrs Allen you called 911?” “Yes," She nodded for emphasis. “I received a threat against my son's life and I called immediately.” She looked at the house. “What is happening? How is my son?” Just then a heavily drunk Arnold clad in only a bathing suit was escorted out of the house by two police. The shorts were mid-thigh and clung tightly to him, they were dripping wet with what Mary hoped was water or at least alcohol and not his urine. His overgrown brown hair was messy, some other people were escorted out of the house. They were young men and women all dressed in bathing suits. Mary half ran as fast as her legs and stiletto pumps would let her. “What’s going on here officer? That’s my son, I called because there was a threat to his life. Wh

Ashley stared admiringly out the tall glass windows at the ocean. She shut her eyes and sucked in a deep breath. What she loved most about this place was the serenity it offered. Henry had proposed earlier that they go on a vacation in a beach house he owned. At first, she had protested but now as she watched the beautiful blue waves hit the shore, the soft whistling of the birds and the palm trees as they waved from side to side she was thankful that they did. They all needed the time away, Henry from his job and all the pressing demands. She had to get away from a lot too. Out here they could let go of all the obligations and demands of their busy lives. Here they could be one with nature and enjoy each other’s company truly. She couldn’t ask for anything more. She had made plans, she was going to turn off her phone and truly make the most of their time together here but she had to make one last call before she did that. She dialled her mother’s number. All her calls went unanswered

Her lips slowly curved into a smile when she remembered how he had made love to her all night. She stirred, her hands reached out patting the space beside her. She felt nothing, she jolted with a start. Her eyes frantically scanned the whole room and then she saw him. He was sitting on a chair, a table before him, there was a wide sheet in front of him. She saw him dip a brush into a bowl of paint. When he looked up at her, his ever-present smirk was on his face. “Good morning my love” he said in the most alluring voice. “Good morning” her voice was barely above a whisper. She bent her head in a bid to escape his intense gaze. He lightly chuckled. “How did you sleep?” he skilfully applied the paint on the paper. She cleared her throat. “Well, I guess and you?” “Just well?” he asked. “I have a vivid memory of last night and I can say your night was more than just well...” She bit down on her lower lip. “Breakfast is on the table” he gestured to the side table beside her. She nodd

Ashley was washing some vegetables in the sink. Adam was in the kitchen with her, Asher in his arms. “I went through all of the pictures you took and it is safe to say you guys had a lovely time...” She smiled at him. “We did. Asher seemed to have the most fun amongst the three of us...” Adam laughed. They had returned yesterday, Henry had rushed into the office to address an issue that needed his urgent attention. She could have let the maids prepare dinner but she loved cooking for all of them and so she had sent them away to do the cooking herself. “You know it was much needed. We had all and our fair share of problems this past year...” He nodded in understanding. “The last vacation with his family was an absolute disaster, more unnerving than it was relaxing.” “I have met the Allens' and I can say they are really...” he hesitated. “...unkind people” Ashley laughed because she knew he was sugar-coating his words...” “Lately they were in the news for something horrible. The

This time his hands wandered along her body. He felt every curve of her body, ensuring his hands lingered, awaking emotions inside of her. Ashley leaned backwards as he leaned forward and kissed her tenderly but passionately. She stopped suddenly and looked behind. “I don’t mind giving them a show...” Ashley shuddered at the thought of it but he didn’t give her time to recover a bit. He captured her lips again. His tongue caressed her lower lip, loving the taste of the champagne on her lips. He suckled on her lower lip for a moment before doing the same to the top lip. He slipped his tongue into his mouth loving the rich taste of the champagne. Their tongues love wrestled against each other, his hands cupped her breasts squeezing through the thin material of her sheer bikini. He lifted her to the top step of the pool and pried her legs apart. “Fuck...” she cursed under her breath. Henry did not miss it. He bit down on his lower lip as he tried to steady his harsh breathing. If he d
