บททั้งหมดของ One Night Stand With The Billionaire Boss : บทที่ 51 - บทที่ 60

ElizabethThe first day on board the yacht passes smoothly. Around six, we gravitate indoors to the saloon for dinner, and I’m awed by the amazing buffet the crew have put on—platters filled with freshly caught fish and seafood, cured meats, and a variety of gorgeous salads, as both Mack and Sidnie are vegetarians.Afterward, we move back out onto the deck for more swimming, conversation, champagne drinking, and dancing, as the music is turned up, and the sun begins to sink behind the land to the west.Huxley’s avoiding me. It’s quite obvious to me, although I don’t know if anyone else has picked up on it. He’s not cold, exactly, and he includes me in the conversation, and is quick to get me another drink or anything else I might need. But our usual teasing camaraderie is gone, and he spends most of the time on the other side of the pool, or off mingling with the guests.I should have expected it, but it makes me sad. I can’t rant and rail at him though, because it’s all my fault. I s

The yacht sets sail from Paihia, and begins its tour of the Bay of Islands, following which it will pass the Cavalli Islands and sail up to Doubtless Bay before looping back once again.The yacht is a lot busier now everyone’s on board. Sidnie is already locked away with her mother, sister, and best friends getting ready for her big moment. Huxley and Mack spend a couple of hours introducing people and playing hosts while stewards go around with drinks and canapés, and then around midday everyone starts disappearing for a short rest before they get ready for the wedding.As Sidnie’s getting ready in their cabin, Mack joins Huxley in his old cabin to change, leaving me alone in mine, at least for now. They wanted a relaxed wedding, and I thought I’d go for trousers as I didn’t want to spend the whole day trying to stop the sea breeze blowing up my skirt. I was going to pick something cream or maybe light blue to go with the ocean theme, but then my gaze fell on the outfit I ended up wit

I can see Mack getting emotional as he watches us all perform, and feel a touch of pity for him as he doesn’t know what’s coming. Sure enough, as Koro calls to repeat the haka, “Tika tonu! Tika tonu!” and Sidnie adopts the wide eyes and trembling hand gestures of the women and calls back, “U-e!” Indeed! and begins performing the dance, Mack’s emotion spills over, and he has to stare hard at the ground, fighting for control. Emotional herself, Sidnie doesn’t stop but touches his arm, encouraging him, and after a few seconds he finally joins in too, copying our movements as he says the words. He locks eyes with me—he knows I set this up—and for a moment time slips away, and we could be any two guys in Maori history, doing their war dance. It’s a powerful performance, especially with everyone in their wedding finery, a celebration of their new life together, and I don’t think there’s a dry eye on the yacht by the time we’re done.The other guests cheer and give a huge round of applause,

ElizabethWhen the meal is finally over, the music starts, and the guests filter out of the saloon. It’s dark now, but the deck is lit with fairy lights, and it’s just the start of the party.True to his word, Huxley changes into his swim shorts and lets the kids dunk him in the pool. I sit with Victoria and the others on the poolside, sipping champagne and laughing as they pile on top of him and try to drown him.“I think I drank half the pool,” he says when he’s finally able to extricate himself and climb out.The others laugh, but I can only stare at him, as he dries his back with a towel, his chest shining with water droplets. He walks off to get changed, and I give a private sigh before looking around and realizing Mack is watching me.“I’ll be able to tell,” he mouths.I give him the finger, and he chuckles and returns to his conversation.Huxley returns five minutes later in his blue shirt and linen suit, and he then spends a while circulating amongst the guests, checking that ev

“I can’t help it,” I say with a sniff.He touches his tongue to the tears. “Don’t be sad.”“I’m not sad. I’m so incredibly happy.”Our gazes lock, and for a moment I can’t breathe as he looks into my eyes, moving inside me. I know this is a mistake, I know I’m going to regret it, but right now I’m just so fucking happy, I don’t care. I’m so glad he kissed me. Oh my God, I’m so fucking relieved.“Hux,” I whisper, bottom lip trembling, and he says, “I know,” and kisses me again. I can feel his body taking over his attempts to go slowly, as he lifts up onto his hands and thrusts harder, and it’s so surreal, with the rocking of the boat and the glitter of the starlight on his skin, and oh fuck, I’m going to come, and Huxley crushes his mouth to mine as everything tightens inside so I know I’m crying out, but I can’t stop as the beautiful pulses claim me.“Ah Jesus,” he says, his body stiffening, and I wrap my arms around him and hold him tightly as he comes inside me.When we’re done, he o
