“Somehow, getting chopped up and stuffed into a Samsonite with two heifers that I’m thinking I really don’t like anymore, doesn't seem so bad.” Tatiana muttered.
“Maybe I should just go up alone?” Maya said.
“I can't, in good conscience, let you do that. Come on, let's do this.” Amanda said.
Without another word, Amanda and Maya slid from the car, walking towards the hotel.
Tatiana watched them, gnawing her thumbnail. They should have never come with Maya. This was too dangerous. Maybe they should have called the police or even Trent. It was his fault that Maya was doing this in the first place.
Maya wanted to do this to save her man and that was all well and fine. Amanda shouldn’t be going with her. All they needed was to have one of those lunatics say something to piss Amanda off. She would not be able to let it go, and they would butcher both Amanda and Maya.
Tatiana couldn’t let that happen.
“Ugh!” Kicking the back of the seat in front of her, Tatiana threw the car door open, getting out and stomping towards Amanda and Maya who were standing on the sidewalk in front of the hotel as if they knew she was going to give in and follow them like a lamb to the slaughter.
“If I get killed,” Tatiana jabbed a finger in Amanda’s direction. “I am punching you right in the boob!”
Tatiana walked in front as Maya and Amanda followed. Maya walked to the receptionist. She smiled as she faked a French accent.
“I need a room please.” She asked the receptionist.
“Welcome ma’am, there’s a room available. Can I get you a double bed or single?”
“Single would be great. I just came to this town with my husband and we would like to spend a few days here while he works on his projects.” She smiled at the receptionist. “before I forget, a friend of mine who recommended this hotel for me is in room 1004, can you check me in the room next to his.”
“It’s okay, there a room available, are you okay with room 1001? It’s not right next to it but they are on the same floor.”
“It’s okay.” She kept smiling as she took the keys.
“Third floor on your left.” They took the elevator.
They tiptoed to the hallway as they read the door numbers. They stopped when they reached door number 1004. They heard people talking as they knocked. The door opened and Maya walked in first. They were nervous, they didn’t know these people.
“I have a bad feeling about this.” Amanda whispered.
There were three men in the room and they couldn’t know which one was Anthony. Tatiana wanted to do away with this and leave the hotel.
“We brought back the ring which was bought from a guy who stole it from you, my ex fiancé could not make it that’s why we brought back the ring.” Tatiana said as she handed one of the guys the ring.
“Can you verify if it’s the same one?” Anthony said. The guy looked at the ring then nodded with approval to Anthony.
“Can we leave now?” Maya asked.
“You can leave but tell your boyfriend that next time he steals anything from me, I will kill him without giving him chances.”
“What do you mean steal?” they all shouted at once.
“Your boyfriend stole the ring from someone who was keeping it.”
“There has to be a mistake, the person who sold it to him is the one who stole it not him.” Maya said desperately. Amanda smiled and Tatiana was shocked. She couldn’t believe that Trent would give her a stolen ring as an engagement ring. She always thought Trent would be everything, but not a thief. Why would Trent steal an expensive ring and lie about it?
“There is no mistake and your boyfriend can confirm it, he is the one who stole it.”
Tears rolled down Maya’s cheeks, she couldn’t believe she left New York to come look for a ring that Trent stole, she felt used. She was so mad and tried to comprehend everything she heard. Trent lied to her all this time, everything was adding up now. There was no Warren, Amanda was right. She couldn’t believe she was marrying a thief and a liar.
Tatiana felt hurt; she realized that all Trent did was lie. She could have married him and found out later that he was a thief. For once in her life, she felt relieved that he left her for Maya. She looked at Maya, who was crying. She was grateful he left; he didn’t deserve her or any woman. She felt sorry for Maya but there was nothing she could do.
“I always knew Trent was a bastard but not a thief.” Amanda commented. Tatiana and Maya both looked at her with rage.
Chapter 9
Tatiana looked beautiful. Clyde stared at her with lust. He remembered their last moments at the restaurant and wanted more of her. The bright light coming through the window made her cover her eyes while she fumbled through her bag for sunglasses. The airport seemed empty as they walked ahead.
They waited for twenty minutes, then boarded the plane. She wanted to control herself next to him but it was hard. She leaned her head back and closed her eyes. She looked beautiful as he watched her sleep.
The flight took them five and a half hours. She leaned her head on the taxi window as she awaited their destination. She didn’t know and didn’t want to ask. She opened her eyes as they reached Coast Alegre.
They walked into the five star resort. She followed him to the receptionist desk. She smiled to let him know that she was okay with his arrangements.
“Hola, comopuedoayudarle?” the receptionist asked before he could introduce himself.
“Hablas Ingles?” he asked.
“Yes, I speak English.” answered the receptionist.
“I’m Clyde Fox, and I have a reservation.”
“One moment please.” She typed his name on the computer and removed two key cards.
“Here’s your card sir.” The receptionist also handed her a key. He held her by the waist as they climbed the stairs to the room.
The hotel room looked big inside even though the space was well-utilized. The air reeked of incense and there was some kind of soft rock music playing. Large crystals all shiny and jagged stood on antique tables at the corner next to the bed. He was unpacking when he heard the knock on the door. Tatiana peeped inside then let him get comfortable.
“Everything is accessible from the bathroom to the toilet; if you need anything else let me know.” She said as she walked to the medicine cabinet.
“I don’t need anything, I only need you.” He said. “Don’t worry about me, I will shower then have you all night.” He continued.
“Okay.”
Clyde had other things to worry about upon his arrival, like his raging boner. He walked in the shower and closed his eyes while the hot water poured on his head. He relieved his throbbing member in the shower while imagining what he would do to her body. He imagined her naked body and her lips on him. He was standing in front of the mirror in the shower.
He stood there relaxed, his limbs elegant, loose and almost classical. His form was muscular and compact, not an inch of spare flesh on him. There was a delightful tangle of hair on his chest. His dick was soft and aroused; it swung against his thighs as he touched his chest while imagining her breasts on him.
With a little sigh, he rubbed a soapy wash cloth all over his arms and shoulders and torso, then rinsed the cloth out and wiped away all the traces of lather. He soaped the cloth again and applied it on his genitals. Under the ministration and massaging of the soapy cloth, his dick lengthened and thickened and rose up. He tossed the wash cloth into the water and took himself properly in his hand. He manipulated his cock, pushing and pulling in long strokes. He worked the fine, rapidly blushing skin over the hard blood filled core that kept on swelling.
“Aren’t you joining me?” he yelled from the bathroom.
“In a sec, I was still unpacking.” She responded. She removed her clothes and headed to the bathroom. He glanced up and met her gaze briefly, then kissed her on the lips.
“I love you.” He said.
“I love you too.” She responded with a sm
ile. “I want to let you know that, you have nothing to worry about. My ex is out of my life forever.”
“That’s a relief for me. I want you by my side always. I promise never to stop loving you no matter what.”
