*ALORA*Santorini was one of the Cyclades islands in the Aegean Sea. It was devastated by a volcanic eruption in the 16th century BC, forever shaping its rugged landscape. The whitewashed, cubiform houses of its 2 principal towns, Fira and Oia, cling to cliffs above an underwater caldera (crater). They overlook the sea, small islands to the west and beaches made up of black, red and white lava pebbles.It was truly a fascinating place and I wanted to thank Oscar for suggesting this honeymoon.It was like a much needed vacation from work.After getting birth control pills, I spent some of my morning staring at the Ocean as sunlight danced on the waves like a thousand glittering diamonds, transforming the sea into a dazzling mosaic of light and motion.Under the midday sun, the ocean’s surface shimmered with a thousand points of light.After that incredible sex Caden and I had last night, we could barely keep our hands away from each other.I decided to treat it as one of the benefits o

*ALORA*I was still in the shower, running my hands through my body. Even my own touch only reminded me now of his touch.As if that wasn’t enough, he had marked me. Little red marks on my breasts, hickeys on my neck.On the insides of my thighs were small, fresh bruises shaped like his thumbs. And I knew inside my chest had also been marked, the organ that sat slightly behind and to the left of my sternum just won’t stop getting involved.I had just dried off and had flung my towel over a hook on the wall when Caden walked in.He had only put on his trousers now and hadn’t bothered to button them up.I froze mid-motion.He froze too when he saw me, his eyes raking me up and down. After the night we had shared, it was obvious he still wanted more of me.God.I couldn’t understand this myself.Sex was always something I wanted to be over and done with but the more I had sex with Caden, the more I craved him.“I…I left some marks.” He noted. “Sorry.”He added, his mouth quirking up at on

After a passionate morning, they spent the rest of the day in bed.But towards evening, Gianna wanted to go get some birth pills from the pharmacy not far away.Mason had wanted to go with her but he had to prepare dinner before she gets back.Not long after she left, the rains started to fall.He sighed.She hadn’t taken an umbrella.Maybe the rains would stop soon and she would be able to get back.He focused on the meal he was making.Each passing minute, the rain got heavier and heavier.And it was getting late.Mason brought out his cellphone and shot her a text.Mason: Where are you?”He paced to and fro waiting for a reply.When his phone beeped, he pounced on it and unlocked it.Gianna: I barely even made it to the pharmacy.Mason shot her another text.Mason: Where exactly are you?Gianna: At the front of Joe’s printing service.Oh, that was like a street away.He quickly grabbed an umbrella and hurried out of his apartment.Covering himself with an umbrella, he headed down t

Mason brought the fork to her mouth and she let the tines slip between her lips to take the bite.“Hmm…it’s really good.”“Do you want some more?”“I guess another bite would be okay.”“Then it’s yours.”Tilting her head at him, she asked.“If I wanted the rest of your food, you’d give it to me, wouldn’t you?”“Yes. And if you weren’t my mistress, I would do that also. I love giving you anything you want.”Gianna smiled.He was so sweet.And she suddenly wanted to be so sweet to him as well.“You should take one of my fries.” She offered.“Thanks.”With a smile, he took a fat fry and popped it in his mouth.“Now I remember why I stopped eating this. It’s too addictive.”She chuckled. “No one can eat just one fry.”“Or potato chips. I gave those up too.”“Every time I eat something deep fried and greasy. I hurriedly work out the next day to balance things up.”“No wonder you have such a great body.”Gianna blushed.She took a fry and brought it to his mouth.He leaned in to take it.Af

*ALORA*After I had seen clearly the scars on his back, Caden had been a bit distance.Or was I overthinking it?He had been on his laptop for hours, saying he was catching up with work.I shook my head.Maybe it wasn’t healthy for me to also be curious about him.After all, we were just fucking.I didn’t need to get to know him.I laid on the deck chair in front of the pool at the balcony. I was on a robe.I was so far enjoying this trip.I didn’t know being away from work would be so relaxing. I felt calmer, less agitated and I just did everything I wanted to do with my free time.I had just finished swimming and I was currently resting until I felt the sun go down.I opened my eyes and was startled to see Caden sitting on the deck chair beside me and staring at me.I looked around.”Are you done with work? You startled me.”How did he move so quietly, I didn’t notice.Or maybe I was too lost in my thoughts to notice.“Sorry, and yes, I’m done with work. Do you want to go out or some
