บททั้งหมดของ Carnal Chronicles: A Saga of Sinful Secrets.: บทที่ 11 - บทที่ 20

YVETTE (1) It is several degrees warmer than it was back home when we touch down at the Manhattan airport. Thankfully, Rosetta mentioned a beach being close to her family house. Perfect for Thanksgiving Dinner.The car pulls up to the sprawling beach house on the beach just as the sun dips low over the Pacific. Rosetta’s family estate is ridiculously large with stories of glass and white stone, and a private beach access. For one, I’m glad I chose to come here for Thanksgiving Dinner rather than spend the holiday with my newly married mother and her husband. The last thing I want to walk in on is both of them humping away on the couch. Ew. I step out with my duffel bag, inhaling deeply as the salty air hits me. Rosetta steps up beside me, grinning. “Welcome to Thanksgiving hell, Yvette. Try not to die of boredom.”I laugh, hoping that she is merely joking. I didn’t leave the bustling city to come and snooze away at a place like this. “By the time I change out of these sweats,

YVETTE (3) As the night wears on, Rosetta texts me that she’s heading to a bonfire party down the beach with some old high school friends. “Come if you want,” she writes. I just replied that I’m tired and will see her tomorrow.That’s a lie. The truth is, I’ve been restless since what Marcus said to me. Hell, since I came here and saw him. I pour myself another glass of wine and slip out onto the balcony overlooking the ocean. The cool night air feels too good against my sensitive skin. I lean on the railing to try to steady my breathing and forget the way that Marcus looked at me during dinner.Or the deliberate way he brushed against my body in the kitchen.Or perhaps I’m over thinking it?“Fuck,” I whisper to the ocean. “This is harder than I thought.”Hearing footsteps behind me, I turn around to see the man I’ve been trying to avoid. He’s holding two glasses of whiskey. “Elena went to bed early cos of a headache and the rest of the relatives have gone back to their condo

YVETTE (5) The dawn breaks when I’m in bed lying awake with my toy right by my head. I tried to use it but my body still craves the man I should not. Somehow, I manage to put it away and get myself prepared for the day. Some of Rosetta’s cousins spoke about wanting to visit the local market and we all agreed. By the time the day is over, I clap myself on the back for being around Marcus and not even sparing him a single glance. It’s better this way, I say to myself. The day breezes by very fast and soon it’s midnight. The house is finally very quiet. I’m laying in my room as the memories of Marcus brushing my thighs during dinner and what we did on the beach crashes through me. 1:47 a.m. I push a pillow between my legs when the door clicks open and Marcus slips inside. I jump up from my position. “What are you doing here?” I hiss. “This is risky and you know it. What if someone sees you?”He moves toward me without a sound, not even bothering to turn on the light. He’s bar

YVETTE (7)Rosetta is sitting on her towel by the time I return. She looks up at me. “Where have you been?” she asks, squinting against the sun. “You disappeared for like twenty minutes.”I plop down beside her on my towel, feeling Marcus’s warm cum still leaking out of me, slowly soaking my bikini. “Just needed to rinse off,” I say, trying to keep my voice steady even though my heart is beating fast. “The sun was getting to me.” “Oh, okay.” She nods and begins a conversation about her new job she’s about to resume after the holidays. I sit there as the truth dawns on me; I’m falling for Marcus again. And I don’t know how to stop. ***Elena calls our attention, still looking vibrant like we hadn’t been playing frisbee for an hour straight. “It’s dinner and game night, guys. Who’s ready?” I look at her in awe. “Where does she even get all that energy?”Rosetta gives a silent scoff. “While the rest of us look like we could drop, she doesn’t care about any of that. My sister is un

YVETTE (9) Right after dessert, the dining room clears up and Rosetta rises to her feet with an empty glass in her hand.She clinks it with a dessert spoon. “Girls only, to the pool house. Now. No, boys.”One of the men I recognize as Rosetta’s cousin clicks his tongue. “Sucks for you all. Men are fun to be around.”“Right,” says a lady with dark blonde hair as she flips him off. Elena laughs and grabs another bottle of rosé, one that Marcus had gone to fetch alone. “I’m in,” she says. “Sophia, Lila, Chloe, Isabella. Don’t think you’re all excluded on this.” A younger brunette speaks up. “I have to sleep early, Lena. How about you fill me in on the details tomorrow?”She looks like the youngest of us. “Not tonight, Sophia. You’re not ditching us for this one,” another blonde interrupts. I think her name is Lila. We walk across the lawn to the pool house. It is a sleek glass building with low lights and it grants us a splendid view of the ocean. I find out Sophia, the brunette,
