Chapter Fifty One
KayaShe was everything I expected her to be. Tall. Dark. Stylish. There were a lot of similarities between mother and son. Except for the dark scowl on her face when she looked at me.She didn't seem happy at all to see me. “What are you doing, Ace?” she hissed in a low voice. “When I heard rumors that she was in some sort of accident and that the two of you were back together…”“This really isn’t the place, Mom.”“After what she threatened to do, you are here with her? Are you insane?”“I’m sorry, , but I don’t think”She whirled on me in an instant, prompting Ace to once again move me behind him so that his body shielded me from his mother. He whispered something to her that I couldn’t hear, then he drew me away, leading the way across the room like nothing had happened. I clung to him, suddenly aware of people staring at us.What was going on?I felt like I was always in the dark these days, always wondering why people were looking at me as they were. Why were they whispering beh

Chapter Fifty Two
Ace.My mother was walking around the room, draped over Grant’s arm like she was some sort of possession to show off like the Cartier watch on his wrist. I wanted to go over there and smack him, tug him away from her and tell her to run. That was something I should have done years and years ago. It was too late now. He was so ingrained in all our lives that it would be impossible to separate one from the other.Even Margaret had come to accept that.I don’t think Margaret’s complicity bothered me all that much. She was his daughter, after all. But my mom…that really did bother me. Didn’t she see what Grant was doing to her? To all of us? Didn’t she care what it might mean for me, for Kayq, for everyone touched by it? Or was she that blinded by his charm?“Hi,” Kaya said, coming up behind me.I turned and pulled her gently against my chest. It felt so good holding her like this again. I kissed the top of her head, deciding there were some benefits to the shorter hair.“You feeling alri

Chapter Fifty Three
Kaya.He carried me upstairs, and we undressed each other, taking our time this time. The way he looked at me, like he was unwrapping a gift he had waited all his life to receive, made me feel like a queen, like the most adored starlet that ever existed. I’d never enjoyed being the center of attention, never played the role of a drama queen. But I loved this, loved the way it felt to be the center of his world.I loved him. There was no doubt in my mind.We moved together on the bed, our bodies fit together like they were made for one another. When he was inside of me this time, the pleasure was muted, but still just as exciting. I could have lain there all night, my hands moving over his warm skin, my body aware of every movement of his, his aware of every movement of mine. I touched his face and tilted his head so i could see the hooded look of his eyes; I could see my own thoughts mirrored there.“I love you, Kaya,” he whispered. “I have loved you from the very first moment I saw y

Chapter Fifty Four
Cyn. It had taken me a week of planning to get out of the house. No one had noticed, mainly because Ace was still occupied with his lover in the master bedroom. I had not seen him for days. But with the help of Anna, I had finally managed to get out of the house. I wasn't going to stay in this hotel for long, I didn't have enough money to stay there. But I had a few bucks that could sustain me for a day or two. I was about to unpack my clothes when the door bell rang, maybe my food was here finally. I immediately rushed and opened the door. It wasn't room service for sure. I looked up, way up, at the tall, forbidding man who was standing in the doorway of my hotel room. His muscular frame was displayed to perfection by the tailored black suit he was wearing. But the suit was where any semblance of civilization ended.His expression was inscrutable, his dark eyes blank, his lips flattened into a firm line. His squared jaw was clenched tight, the tension mirrored in his stance.

Chapter Fifty Five
Paul Taking a breath, she stepped forward and put her hand lightly on my arm. My eyes clashed with hers and a bolt of sensation shot to my stomach. She pulled back quickly, the heat from her skin lingering on my body "He doesn't want me, he has her. Please don't take me back, please. You see how he treats me." I fought down the flash of anger that rose in me. The little vixen was trying to tempt me, to use seduction to get her way. The soft touch against my sleeve hadn’t been an innocent action, but a calculated maneuver. One designed to stir a man’s blood, make it pump hotter, faster. And when the woman doing the touching looked like Cyn, how could it not?I thought, not for the first time, that my boss was an extremely lucky man to have her as his bride. Although he didn't want her, he was just using her. The woman was beautiful, with full, tempting curves and a face that was flawlessly lovely. Her beauty was not subjective, but universal. Her high, classic cheekbones, small uptu

Chapter Fifty Six
Cyn. We had been driving all night. I was asleep most of that drive. I could tell we were getting closer to the oasis when the sparse scrub brush that lined the road began to grow taller, the color deepening, giving way to a line of cypress trees that reached to the faded blue sky.“You were right,” I said softly, my eyes trained on the horizon, on the flat topped rocks that looked as though they had been set right on top of the red sand, “it is beautiful out here.” I had doubts about coming here, but mostly it was because I was afraid of being with him alone. Not after what happened between us. “And dangerous.” he chimed in. “Life is dangerous, though, isn’t it, Paul?”I noticed his knuckles whiten as he gripped the steering wheel of the off-road vehicle more tightly. “It can be.” he said, his knuckles still holding on tight. “You know that more than most people, don’t you?”“Why do you ask that?”“Because you are always telling me how much life experience can take from you. I

Chapter Fifty Seven
Paul. I watched Cyn run her fingers lightly over the furniture. My body tightened as i imagined those delicate hands on my body, even as my stomach churned with rage at the thought of her with Ace, sleeping together, him touching in all the places I wanted to touch her, having his children, she should have been mine. She deserves so much more, more than she got. Her father was dead now so the contract might as well be void. I didn't care that it was my boss she was married to, he did not deserve her. I had brought here here, to my family home, she had nowhere to go and I could not just turn her away.She needed help, and I gave it to her. Ace did not know about this place, which is why it was the perfect hiding place for her. He would never find her. I had brought her here for my own selfish reasons too, to prove to myself that i could master my desire for her. And i could.There was no other option. It didn’t matter that she appealed to me more than any woman in my memory. My j

Chapter Fifty Eight
Cyn. It was going to be a really long night. I had tossed and turned a million times and it was still nine. I couldn’t sleep. It was comfortable in the tent; the night air of the desert was cool. I could hear thick drops of rain hitting the canvas roof, beating on it mercilessly. I knew that sudden downpours, along with flash flooding, were common in this region.But it wasn’t fear that kept me awake.No. I was so hot inside. Burning. Emotions were at war with desire, a desire that was growing quickly into a need as powerful as my need for food. Water. Breath.I didn’t know what it was I felt for Paul. I wasn’t certain I wanted to know. It was nothing I had planned. I had wanted to get to know myself better. To find out if I liked blue because I liked it, or because my father had told me it flattered my colouring. I had found a lot more than that, and with it smit had started a battle inside myself.I swung my legs over the side of the bed and stood, padding out into the living area

Chapter Fifty Nine
PaulI let her play with my chest, my scars for a while longer, unable to stop her. I didn't want to stop her, I wanted her to continue, I wanted this feeling to last forever. But I also knew I could not let this happen, if I let it happen I would never be able to stop myself. I wanted her, I craved her, I even had dreams about her. But she was forbidden, the one woman I was not supposed to touch. I stiffened, pulling away from her hot touch. My heart was hammering in my chest, my muscles so tight they ached. My whole body ached for her, for her to flatten her palm against my skin, to continue her exploration into more intimate territory. I should stop her. Should have stopped her the moment she placed her hand on me. Yet i had been held a captive of what she was doing to me, of what she made me feel.It had started out as an innocent, comforting gesture. Because Cyn was an innocent woman, A woman i had no business touching.Some of the fractured light from the overhead lanterns da

Chapter Sixty
CynI gasped as Paul tightened his hold on me, pulling me onto his lap, bringing me into contact with the hardened length of his erection the evidence i needed to know that he desired meas I desired him.Excitement, fear and need slammed into me. My entire body was shaking with it. Then he leaned in, taking my mouth with a ferocity i hadn’t expected, his lips firm, insistent, his tongue hot as it slid between my lips. I moaned, all the fear deserting me. This was Paul. The man i desired above all else.I could have lived my entire life without having my picture taken in front of the Eiffel Tower. I would have been fine if I had never been to a cinema. But this … i could not have lived never knowing what it was to make love with Paul.I pushed his shirt from his shoulders, letting it fall to the floor.The sight of him in the flickering lantern light was enough to push my arousal to unbearable heights. I moved my hands over his shoulders, across his back, loving the play of muscles be
