KONSTANTIN WAS SURPRISED HE'D managed to get this far without sweat pouring off him. He'd faced down board meetings and other high-powered executives alongside congress men and women who had nothing on Haley.Part of him wanted to take those words back, but only a small part that feared Haley leaving. He knew full well that she could feel differently. In fact, he fully expected her to pat him on the head and say it wasn't that serious for her.Instead she stared at him with eyes gone round.Had he sprouted a second head? Or had she come so hard her brains were scrambled?He liked to think he was good at pleasing women, but he didn't think he was that good."I, um... You?" She opened and closed her mouth.He wasn't sure he'd ever seen her at a loss for words."Yeah?" He tucked her hair behind her ear and leaned in a tiny bit.She didn't shy away from him.He kissed her lips, the corner of her mouth. She shoved a hand into his hair. He was beginning to crave that.Hal

Volume 2: Just FriendsWednesday. Luxe Ibiza Hostel, Cala Gració, Ibiza.JENNIFER MIRACLE WAS HAVING the worst day. Or stretch of days. She wasn't sure if the sun had set on them in the last thirty or so hours of travel.Her phone vibrated against her thigh like an angry bee. She fully expected it to start stinging her soon. It took every fiber of her being to not groan and slump in the seat. Instead, she grit her teeth and pulled the device out. All it took was glimpsing Mr. Esposito on the display to have her nerves stretched thin.What the hell was she going to do with this situation?Jennifer turned to her ward. Honestly, she should be calling Milan Esposito her client, but the twenty-one-year-old acted suddenly started acting like a child. Hell, Jennifer's job was more about making sure Milan didn't kill herself with her antics than actually guarding her from danger. On the plus side, she did get to see a lot of the world most people didn't. It was a perfect exampl

Wednesday. Zechariah Mizrahi's Party. Sant Antoni de Portmany, Ibiza.THE LIGHTS PULSED IN time to the music. Most of the bodies crammed onto the back patio turned dance floor at least tried to move in time to the beat. Most were too drunk to know what a beat was. Hell, Jennifer had already pulled one drunk girl out of the pool and it was still technically early.That had gotten her a glare from Milan, who likely more concerned about Jennifer's dress than the state of the drunk girls.Every time Milan went out, Jennifer wore a matching or similar outfit. The reason being, Jennifer could be a pretty damn convincing body double in a pinch. Given how many parties Milan went to, Jennifer had run interference on hundreds of creepy guys. She hadn't known this was part of the job when she'd taken the contract. Though she should have wondered at the higher than average salary. She hadn't known at the time that not only was it her skills that had gotten her the job, so had her face, ha

Wednesday. Luxe Ibiza Hostel, Cala Gració, Ibiza.JENNIFER BOUGHT HERSELF TIME tasting the drink. The bartender had a heavy pour. Already her limbs felt warmer and the tension she'd carried with her had eased. Her mental faculties weren't impacted. Yet.All this time she'd assumed Orion knew everything about her, just like he did everyone else.He'd always been the wealthy playboy in her mind. Yes, he played at the role of former SEAL and friendly proprietor. But that was an act. She'd never doubted that there were dozens of other women he flirted with. That there was someone in his bed each and every night, but he somehow managed to be discrete enough to keep it from his guests.This one change shifted everything she knew about him.She'd always held herself back from this attraction because she didn't want to be one of many. She wanted to finally be special to someone. Perhaps it was a silly, immature dream she'd latched onto a few years back, but that was it. Her small

Thursday. Luxe Ibiza Hostel, Cala Gració, Ibiza.ORION HELD HIS WORK phone in his hand and stared at Maria. In all the time he'd owned the hostel, there were fewer than five times he hadn't had the phone on him. The hostel was his life. But if he always put work first, he'd never have anything for himself. Still, this was a big step to take."You will contact me if anything happens," he said.Maria smiled and grasped the phone. "Yes, Mr. Doukas. Go enjoy your day."He tightened his grip.She pulled.He couldn't reach for one thing while holding onto another.Reluctantly, he gave up the phone.Maria quickly pocketed the device while doing her best to not laugh at him. Her dark eyes sparkled with life.He let his hands fall to his sides.The staff were top-notch. His security was the very best and were armed to the teeth in the event of any need. Maria would see to everything else, ensuring meals were delivered and their guests taken care of.Besides, it was mid-
