Chapter 31; London
LondonI felt his body tense beneath mine at my question, but it only registered mildly. He didn't leave me. He was here, smelling like leather and spice and him and perfection. He was here and he's - wet. I raised my head and looked down at him. It wasn't just my imagination or my tears. His shirt was transparent and clung to his body. "Why are you all wet?" I sniffled. I sat up till I was sitting astride his torso."Went for a little heroic dip in the ocean." he grinned at me. "Why are your eyes all wet?" "Was doing a little cathartic release." I quipped back."Baby." His lips formed a straight line. "I may have been crying," I mumbled, ducking my head. He cupped my jaw and raised it so my eyes met his. "Hey, look at me. Baby girl, why would you think I'd left you?" He asked. "I'm just a clingy mess." I tried to brush it off"My clingy mess." He smiled. "And I don't know what kind of moron will leave his wo

Chapter 32; Sinclair
Sinclair I couldn’t believe I had been so stupid as to have just left Cath… no… London alone like that. I had to get used to referring to her as Cath in public and London in my head so I wouldn’t mistakenly reveal my knowledge of the truth too soon. What had I been thinking? I could just imagine how she had felt coming back to the room and not finding me. The thought made my chest feel tight and achy. What had her tears meant though? Had she been sad about being abandoned? Or sad about being abandoned by me? I would like to imagine it was the second one, but how could I tell? I wanted to just ask her, get everything out in the open and stop hitting my head against the wall over this whole situation. It was bound to drive my crazy sooner than later. “Sleeping already?” I whispered when she had been silent for too long. “No.” she slurred sleepi

Chapter 33; London
LondonHours later, I still shot Sinclair dirty looks over his little game earlier this morning. To my consternation, it only makes him roar in laughter and I’m tempted to punch him in the throat to stop that annoying, mocking sound. I sigh. Of course, I could never do something like that. The thought of harming Sin even if it was just rough play didn’t appeal to me in any way.“I’m going to order breakfast.” He reaches for the phone on the bedside table. “What would you like?” I look up from the magazine I’d had my head buried in all morning. Apparently, the resort had been delivering these magazines every morning with breakfast or coffee but Sin hadn’t thought I’d have any interest in them so he had been sticking them into the bedside drawer. Who wouldn’t be interested in those things? All the different issues with different celebrities

London"Do you want me to pour you a drink?" He motioned at my empty glass."Please, thank you," I said. I took a sip of the thing after he had poured it and promptly spit it out. "What?" He laughed. "It's mango. It's gross." He threw his head back and roared with laughter. "What did you think it was?" "Uhm. Orange juice! Like normal people drink and sane people serve. This shit tastes like being stranded on a tropical island." I griped.Sin took my cup and gulped down the disgusting drink. I shuddered with revulsion. "Eww." He shrugged easily. "Your loss.""On the contrary Mr Donovan-Wells," I argued. "Yuck." A moment later I felt eyes digging into me and I looked up to discover that he was still giving me that curious look, like he was trying to figure something out. I avoided his eyes as my life depended on it, facing my breakfast and eating it with the concentration of someone trying

Chapter 35; Sinclair
Sinclair"Does that mean you liked it then?" She asked."Liked it? Baby doll, I loved it." I smiled. "Good. You can scrub my back in the shower as pay back." She smirked before skipping away. I followed after her eagerly, wearing the biggest smile on earth. I made a detour to the room phone to order for a clean up before heading for the bathroom.She was already naked in the shower when I joined her. I slipped in behind her after stripping my clothes off and then gave an embarrassing shriek when the water made contact with my skin. "Sin? Are you okay?" She looked over her shoulder at me. I loved her, but this was never going to work. "Baby, why are you using water that is at skin skin-peeling temperature?" "What? This is nice. It's relaxing." I snorted. "Yeah, for people in hell maybe." She laughed. "So you're not coming in?" "I love you, but I'm not quite ready to die today." Which was what I was sure would happen as soon as I stepped under that volcano's hot water. How was

Chapter 36; London
LondonI slipped into a lilactwo-piecee bathing suit while Sin was still in the bathroom laughing and being generally annoying. It wasn't really a surprise that Cath's luggage didn't have a single pair of shorts. For someone who had been heading for a vacation in a resort, there were entirely too many dresses and pants in her luggage and I didn't even blame her assistant who had sounded like a sassy teenager the one time we had talked over the phone. The closet in Cath's apartment hadn't exactly been bursting with fancy vacation clothes. Not even a single jean in sight.Cath needed an intervention, or someone to come and unshove the stick out of her ass. With a shrug, I went digging in my second set of luggage, AKA Sin's bags. "That had better not be an Albright rifling through my things." He said, voice full of amusement. I looked over my shoulder to see him standing a few steps away clad in only a towel around his hips. I followed the trail of water that dripped from his hair and

Chapter 37; London
LondonI had been curious about Sinclair’s job since I had read a little bit about him in the Not Yet Forty magazine. Yes, he was as rich as Croesus, but how exactly did he make his money? I knew it had something to do with Wall Street though, but that was as far as I knew. When Cath’s assistant had informed me during our brief phone conversation that first day that the only thing Cath and Sin talked about was work, I had assumed I’d have my work cut out for me. I had been shaking in my boots waiting for Sinclair to bring up something about work. I would have fumbled this gig so badly if he had.Luckily for me, he hadn’t. I assumed he was following my lead, so bringing it up now, might not be my smartest idea. What would I do if he turned it around and began to ask me questions too? “Your job.” I began, thinking of the best way to ask him about it without looking like I knew nothing at all about it and making him su

Chapter 38;Sinclair
SinclairI cannot shake the feeling that London had no idea what I was talking about when I talked about her sister’s job. Her reaction was definitely strange. She had looked at me the same way she had been when I had talked about my job. I wondered if she hadn’t reasoned that Cathleen would know all about my job. But that wasn’t the surprising part, it was the attentive look as I had told her what her sister’s company did. There was no way two people as close as they were, and they were definitely close judging by the fact that Cathleen had put her up to this, didn’t know what the other did for work. I brushed the odd thought away because it made no sense. A person wouldn’t impersonate another without having complete information about the other. There was something more going on and once I got my hands on the real Cathleen, I was going to drag out every word of the truth from her. “They&rsquo

LondonSin returned a while later with another glass of the fruity, colorful drink. This one was a distinct purple with a yellow umbrella. “Here.” He settled down in the sand beside me before handing me the glass. “That’s your last for today.” I stuck out my tongue at him. “You’re no fun.”“And you’re a light weight. Plus you’ve barely eaten anything.” “What? I did eat something.” I defended. “Barely two croissants?” He asked. “You should eat more.” “My waistline wouldn’t appreciate that.” I pointed out. I wasn’t exactly a small woman, and I was also averse to exercise. Add that to the fact that Sin could have any woman in the world. Women that were way more gorgeous than me, classy women. He would definitely be repulsed to see me stuff my face with food. Women in his circles at

Chapter 40; London
London “Congratulations!” Someone said. I reluctantly pulled away from Sin’s body to see a couple standing closer to us than the other smiling spectators. They are both young, probably in their early twenties. The man has dark hair and the woman has flaming red hair and a face full of freckles. She beamed at me. “Gage proposed right here yesterday. There’s something in the air, huh?” I laughed. “congratulations to you two too.” I didn’t mention that it wasn’t my first proposal. The previous one didn’t count to me. It felt like it had happened eons ago even though it hadn’t even been up to a week. It was crazy to think that a few days ago, Sin had been a stranger to me. Now, he was an essential part of my life. “I’m Jen. He’s Gage.” I heard Sin sigh exasperatedly behind me. “He’s Sin, I’m Ca-&ldq
