~Benny~My plan was simple. Seduce Kai away from his work and have him all to myself.We sleep in the same bed, wake up next to each other. He turned me into his personal fuck doll, and I’m not complaining. For a first-time lover, I think I hit the jackpot. Kai was a great balance of sweet and wild, caring and rough, possessive and attentive.I crave his attention like a druggie needing a fix. It’s unnerving. ‘Can he blame me?’ My day ends and starts with him drawing orgasm after orgasm from my body.Like a petulant child, I stomped down the beach, cursing under my breath. He didn’t have to be so mean. I just want to spend time with him.Reaching the hammock tied between two palm trees, I sat and stared at the gorgeous, warm hues coloring the sky. It would’ve been perfect for a romantic afternoon if only Kai hadn’t been in a sour mood.I imagined we’d be making out. Then, when things take up a notch, he’d throw me over his shoulder and carry me inside his bedroom, just like yesterday

~Benny~Kai’s lips were gentle, almost feather-light. He nibbled and sucked and licked, coaxing me to forget everything else and focus on his touch.He trapped my face between his rough palms, taking a better angle at kissing me.A sob wracked my chest. I fisted his shirt on the waist. A war waged in my head. We shouldn’t be kissing. We should be talking with words and not with our bodies. But I was a putty for Kai. One touch, and I was a goner.Spearing his fingers into my hair, he grabbed a fistful, tugging my head back. I moaned, my lips parting. He shoved his tongue inside my mouth. He tasted of beer and sin and my downfall.I resisted giving in to his teasing tongue. He lapped at my lips, tasted every nook of my mouth, searching for the responsive girl he’d been with for the last couple of nights.She’s here, just scared to give in. She knew something big would go down tonight, and Kai was diverting my attention to sex.Fisting his shirt, I took strength from it to keep myself g

~Benny~ The first break of sunlight in the mountain range blinded me. I pinched my eyes, barely blocking Markus’ right front kick with my palm. Leaning my body backward, I evaded Markus’ jab. His one-two combination was a hoax, a trick he does before he throws a sidekick. Sidestepping, I smirked and circled Markus. Today was hand-to-hand combat defense training, but I badly wanted to retaliate. Maybe old age was catching up with him. His movements were slower, or I could be getting faster. Whatever it was, I could read his movements better than the first day of training. We circled each other, counting our breaths, eyes watching one another. Markus feigned a push kick and aimed for the kill with a right spinning kick. I blocked both, wincing at the power of his attack. ‘Damn. The old man is getting serious.’ Following the momentum of his spin, he aimed at my face with a jab. I caught his knuckles, smirking. “You’re in a good mood,” he commented, as if he was expecting me to be

~Kai~ “There you go, bear,” Markus said, gently setting down little Mikael on the mat with cartoon owl print. He carefully set the overhead gym with dangling fluffy owls. Mikael’s small hands stretched up, drooling as he blabbered something like ‘woo woo owo.’ Unlike Mikael, who’s still high on energy, Ramona was peacefully asleep in my arms. In fact, she’d fallen asleep in the middle of the chatter in the gazebo. Once Mikael was occupied, Markus stood and took Ramona from me. “I got you, princess.” Markus set her in the pink crib, making sure she was comfortable. I watched the boss, fascinated. Seeing this side of him, a gentle and loving grandfather, was a breath of fresh air. “I got everything covered here,” he said, sitting crossed leg beside Mikael, wiping his drool with a fluffy white towel. “Go enjoy your break from work.” In my time working for the Martinellis, this was the longest I spent with Markus. And the smile ghosting his lips as he glanced over his shoulder sent

~Kai~Klaus was fuming, his jaw ticking as he reached the gazebo. He glanced around, motioned Hunter to come near us. My brows furrowed, shoulders relaxing a bit when I realized he wasn’t going to swing his fist at my face.I hadn’t noticed Ghost, Ash, and Ro tailing Klaus until they were already in the gazebo.“There’s a possible breach of security,” Klaus murmured, his eyes held no fear but a danger to whoever dared walk into his property and threaten his family.“One security saw this,” Ash came forward, showing us a picture on his phone. A clean-cut hole in the fence and a pair of muddy combat boot tracks. “It’s on the south fence,” Ro added.“South?” Hunter asked, looking in the said direction. There was nothing but a mountain range in the south, too far from road access. We went hunting there last summer, and the vegetation was as thick as a virgin forest.No wonder those prints alerted Klaus.“There’s an intruder on my property,” Klaus gritted his teeth, glancing over at Rylee
