“I am leaving… but you’re coming with me.” Charles grinned, his eyes full of mischief.
***
The sun overhead was bright and hot. The ocean was calm. Seagulls flew in circles before they landed on the water’s surface, bobbing on the gentle waves. Fluffy-looking clouds painted the azure sky.
I walked back from the minibar, wearing my new bikini. It was designed in such a way that I kind of looked like a Greek goddess. The golden accents shimmered in the sun as I walked down the private beach. The sand felt warm against my toes. My hips swayed to the sound of the music emerging from a beachside hut. There were two colorful drinks in my hands.
“Back already? That was quick.” Charles said as he took his drink from my hand.
“I didn’t want to be away from you for very long…” I said, sitting down on the edge of the hammock with him. The hammock swayed and we nearly fell over. A bit of my drink sloshed out of the cup and onto my chest. I shivered and jumped, about to scoop the crushed ice out of my bikini when Charles leaned forward, licking it off my body.
“Delicious.” He grinned up at me.
I giggled and fell back. Seconds later, Charles was on top of me. “You’re going to make us fall!” I cried out, holding onto the edges of the hammock as it swayed dangerously.
“I don’t care. I can’t keep my hands off you.” He whispered, his lips already locked around my neck. He grabbed my drink and placed it on the ground before he started to kiss my neck, all the way down to my chest, taking his time to taste every drop of my spilled drink.
“You’re just saying that.” I ran my fingers through his wet hair. I could smell his body wash in the air. He had just come out of the shower. “And do you really think I’m going to let you have your way with me when you took a shower and didn’t even invite me?” I asked in mock offense.
“Sorry, babe. Couldn’t stand the sand in my trunks.”
“What are you talking about? You weren’t wearing any trunks.” I wrapped my arms around his neck and pulled him close, our noses touching. “You’re a horrible liar, you know that?”
“Fine. You win.”
“I always win.” I kissed his lips ever so gently and enjoyed the moment. “When is the helicopter coming to pick us up?” I asked, fearing that our time in paradise was coming to an end.
“Today. But if you want, there’s still time to ask them to come tomorrow… if you want to stay that is.”
I laughed. “What kind of a question is that? After the year I’ve had, I wouldn’t say no to an extended vacation. Hell, a permanent vacation would be the best thing right now…”
“I’m pretty sure everyone dreams to be on a permanent vacation… but for you, I can make this last another day. I’ll have to reschedule some of my meetings –”
I kissed him to make him stop talking. I eased my body onto his, my legs draped over either side of him. He rested his hands on my hips as I continued to kiss him hard. My tongue slipped into his mouth, coiling with his as my hand slowly roamed his body, getting closer to his swim trunks.
He stopped me and pulled away from the kiss. “You know, I already wired the money to Victoria this morning. You don’t have to worry about me withholding your payment anymore.”
“Who says I’m still working? This is all pleasure baby…” I whispered, untying his swim trunks and whipping them off his body. “This is just you and me…”
“Mmm, what’s gotten into you?” Charles asked as I started to kiss his neck. I nibbled on his skin before sucking on it, leaving behind a hickey. He pulled me closer, our hips locking together. His rock-hard cock pressed against my thigh and I grinned.
“What’s gotten into you? You’re as hard as a rock.” I winked, taking him into my hand. I started to stroke him slowly, up and down, getting him even harder before I took his tip between my fingers and rolled it around. Charles moaned and flipped us over. “Charles!” I screamed, feeling like we were going to fall, but he quickly silenced my scream with a kiss.
His tongue forced his way into my mouth just as he forced his fingers into my bikini bottoms. His fingers quickly found my clit and started to play with it back and forth until I was arching my back in pleasure, my eyes rolling into the back of my head. I wrapped my legs around his waist and grinded against his cock, teasing him.
“Mmm, someone’s eager. I like that.” He whispered into my ear as he slowly stuck one of his fingers deep inside of me. I moaned his name, feeling my heart skip a beat. “I love it when you moan… why don’t you moan a little louder for me?” He suddenly shoved two more fingers into my pussy, as far as they would go. He wiggled them around as his thumb continued to rub circles into my clit.
“Fuck… Charles! That feels so good.” I started to grind into his fingers, my mind going numb with pleasure. He just grinned, his blue eyes shining with desire as he continued to tease me.
“You’re so tight and so wet. I can barely control myself…” Charles started to move his fingers in and out of me as quickly as he could. I heard the sloshing of my juices as he picked up the pace.
“Don’t!” I breathed. I wanted to see just how far he would take this. “Take me. Take me now.” I pulled at his hair and pushed his face into my chest. There was just something about him that made me go wild. I could feel my lust getting out of control as he pushed away my bikini top and took my hard nipple into his mouth. He sucked on it hard, his tongue wrapping around it, making it even harder. “Fuck – yes!” I felt myself getting even wetter as his free hand started to fondle my tits. He took my other nipple between his fingers and pinched it.
I screamed out and his lips jumped onto mine. The kiss took my breath away. My mind went numb. His hand snuck down my body, untying the strings that kept my bikini together. He pulled away from the kiss, holding my bikini bottoms in triumph before me. “Look what I got.”
“And what are you going to do about it?” I asked, trying to tempt him.
“Hmm, a beautiful girl beneath me…” His fingers ran along my neck before he undid my top and threw both pieces aside. “Her eyes sparkling with lust… her pussy soaking wet… her nipples rock-hard… what do you think I should do to her?” He asked, his naked body dominating my own. I was momentarily dazed by how attractive he was. His dark hair. Gray eyes. Broad shoulders. Washboard abs. Toned biceps. How did I manage to make a man like this so crazy about me? “No answer? Hmm… I guess in that case, I can do whatever I want…” He smirked, his cock suddenly in his hand as he pressed it against my eager entrance.
“Mmm…” I moaned, bucking my hips into the air, trying to make it easier for him.
“How bad do you want it?” He asked, teasing me with his tip. I bit my lip and didn’t answer. He grabbed my hips and lifted me off the hammock. Holding me with one hand, he used his other to give me a playful little smack on the ass. “I’m waiting.” His voice was stern and commanding. I shivered, feeling his dominance roll off his body.
“I want you so bad,” I whispered, trying to pull him closer.
His fingers dug into my ass. “Is that the best you can do?” He asked, sounded disappointed.
“I want you so bad, Charles. Please. Don’t tease me like this. I want to feel your cock deep inside of me. I want you to fuck me so bad I won’t be able to walk straight. I want to scream your name so loud that the mainlanders can hear us. I want you to make me yours.”
Charles’ cock throbbed at my words. Our eyes locked and he smirked. “You dirty girl…” He kissed my lips ever so gently, making me fear that he would drag this game on even longer, but before I could prepare myself, he rammed right into my pussy, taking me by surprise.
I clutched at the hammock, feeling it sway with the force of his thrust. He didn’t give me a second to accommodate before he started to fuck me with all his power. His balls slapped against my ass as he picked up the tempo, faster and faster. I cried out in pleasure, feeling like his huge girth would rip me in half. At the same time, I didn’t want him to stop. It fel
t way too good.
“Fuck! Keep going! Don’t stop!” I begged, writhing with pleasure as he pinned me down, having his way with my body. I could feel my juices dripping down my thighs. I was so wet.
“That’s it… take it.” He grunted, forcing every inch of himself deep inside of me. He held onto my hips and pulled me up for leverage, ramming into me every time. My whole body rocked as we swayed on the hammock, the sound of the tide serving as an ambiance to our lovemaking.
“I’m going to cum!” I cried out, feeling my eyes glaze over and my pussy quiver. I tightened around him, my silky insides becoming like a glove around his cock. He tried to move but found it difficult.
“Cum for me.” He whispered, his breathing ragged as he struggled to keep up the tempo. My pussy was like a vice grip around him, trying to milk his cock. Suddenly, his fingers found my clit and the moment he started to play with it, I lost all control, orgasming harder than ever.
The sensation of my quivering pussy must have sent him over the edge because he was cumming hard a second later, collapsing on top of me. The hammock finally betrayed us and we fell into the soft sand beneath us. We were silent for a moment, catching our breaths, before we both burst out into laughter, our lips coming together like magnets. As we shared that sweet, post-sex kiss, I knew that my year was finally about to turn around.
EPILOGUE
“Jimmy, don’t drink that, it’s for grown-ups!” I ran up to my oldest child, scooping him up in my arms before he could grab a glass of champagne. I blew on his tummy, making him giggle wildly.
“Mommy!” He squealed, trying to squirm out of my arms. I let him go and
he looked at me with his father’s eyes.
I stared at him with my hand on my hip. “What are you doing in here anyway? I thought I told you to play outside.”
“I was hungry…”
“Lunch is almost ready.”
“But mommy…” He whined. I sighed, grabbing a banana from the fruit basket. I peeled it and handed it to him. “Try not to get too dirty!” He giggled, running out the door with the treat. I locked the door so he wouldn’t come back inside before I had everything prepared. I watched him through the French Doors as he joined some of the other kids. In an instant, he was rolling around in the grass, forgetting all about his half-eaten banana. Hungry, he said. I shook my head. Jimmy was always looking to stir trouble.
Turning my back on the door, I returned to my cooking. I opened the oven, checking on the cake I was baking. I pulled it out carefully and smiled as the whole kitchen filled up with a delicious chocolate smell. Grabbing the homemade icing from the fridge, I started generously coating the cake. Biting my lip, I focused on getting the icing perfect. Once it was smooth and even, I added the detailing. Small flowers lined the base before I added a bit of red food coloring, about to make a ladybug on top of the cake.
Just before I could finish writing Julianna’s name under the ladybug, Charles appeared behind me, his arms wrapping around my waist. I jumped, nearly messing up my creation. “Charles! Careful!”
He chuckled, kissing the side of my neck. I shivered in delight as his lips grazed my flesh, moving onto my earlobe. He tugged on it slightly, his hands roaming under my shirt, finding my chest. I couldn’t help the moan that escaped my lips. I blushed, pressing myself against his body, feeling a rush of excitement shooting up my spine.
“The cake looks great babe.” He finally pulled away.
“Aren’t you supposed to be outside with the kids?” I asked.
“Michael is on it. He’s a natural. Who knew?”
I shook my head. “The kids are probably using him as a human jungle gym.”
Charles shrugged. “He seems to be enjoying himself.”
“I can’t believe how close you two have gotten in the past year.” I commented, finishing the last little details on the cake, making sure it was perfect.
“It’s all thanks to you.” He kissed my cheek. “He’s a pretty nice guy when I’m not always trying to outdo him.”
“And yet everything is still a competition for you two. Just the other week, I remember you playing billiards until three in the morning.”
“He was cheating!”
“That’s what you always say.” I chuckled. “Anyway, since you’re here, make yourself useful.” I pointed to the tray of champagne. “I’m sure our guests are thirsty.”
“You become a successful businesswoman and you think you can boss me around?” He asked, raising an eyebrow in my direction.
“You got that right.” I winked, a grin on my face. “I’ll be out in just a second with the cake.”
He gave me one last kiss before he headed out with the drinks, greeting some of the guests. I was just about to grab the cake when I heard the doorbell go off. I wiped my hands on my apron, answering the door.
“Mackenzie!” My whole face lit up as I saw my best friend. “I’m so glad you could make it!”
“How could I deny a free ticket to Newport? This house is beautiful.” She said as she looked around, her eyes like jewels in her head. “How have you been? It’s been lonely without you on the farm.”
“Oh, I bet.” I chuckled. “How are the cows?”
“They’re doing very well. They’re steadily producing this new enzyme that might actually help people who are lactose intolerant. I’m working on the formula now.”
“Oh, that’s great! If you end up perfecting it, Julianna could really use some. I don’t think she likes almond milk all that much.”
“I don’t think many people do. Where’s the little birthday girl anyway?” She asked.
“She’s in the backyard, her dad should be taking care of her.”
Mackenzie punched the side of my arm. “So what’s it like being married to a billionaire?”
I blushed deeply. “Honestly… it’s been the best time of my life… everything is perfect.”
“Living in luxury must be nice too. Not that you need it. From what you told me, your website has been a huge success.”
I nodded, my bosom filling with pride as I thought about it. “Yes, we just recently doubled the team. We now have fashion experts ready to answer anyone’s questions.”
“Oh, and you take care of all of it yourself?”
“I do most of it, but any successful business person depends on a team. It took a long time for me to figure that out, but I’m finally starting to trust my employees instead of trying to do everything myself.”
She gripped my shoulder. “I’m glad you’re finally making a name for yourself. You must be really happy.”
I nodded and smiled. “I am. More than happy.”
“So, do you need help with anything?”
“No, we’re just about done.” I walked back into the kitchen, picking up the cake.
“Oh my god, Haley, did you make this yourself?”
“I did.”
“It’s great!” She squealed. “It looks professional.”
I blushed at her comment. She opened the door for me and I stepped onto the porch. Julianna was on her high chair, giggling as she played with some of her toys. Charles was sitting by her side, smiling at her. I could tell by the way his eyes glimmered any time that he looked at her that she was truly the apple of his eye. “How has she been? She hasn’t been fussy, has she?”
“She’s been great.” Charles said.
I placed the cake on the table before I introduced Mackenzie. “Charles, this is my old roommate from college, Mackenzie. If it wasn’t for her, I wouldn’t be here today.”
“Oh, there’s no need to be so modest. Your hard work and grit got you here.”
“But you were the one that helped me when I was down.”
Charles held out his hand and smiled at her. “It’s a pleasure to meet you. Haley has said so much about you.”
“Has she?”
Before Charles could answer, Michael walked onto the porch, looking exhausted. “Those kids are a handful.” Jimmy was clinging to his l
eg. I chuckled, picking up my son and holding him in my arms.
“I told you.”
“And who’s this?” Makenzie asked, raising an eyebrow in Michael’s direction. I grinned. I could tell that she was attracted to the real estate genius. She had always been into the nerdy aesthetic.
“This is Michael. He’s a good friend of ours. He is actually the one that got us a great deal on the house.”
He smiled at Mackenzie and I saw her cheeks transform with blush.
“Name’s Mackenzie.” She introduced herself, getting a little bit closer to him.
“Can I get you a drink?” Michael asked, grabbing two glasses of champagne off the table. “Maybe we can take a walk around the estate.”
“I’d like that.” Mackenzie was instantly on his arm, disappearing with him.
“Well, those two hit it off well.” I chuckled to myself, leaning on the railing. Jimmy played with my hair, putting a crown on my head. I kissed his nose and he giggled. Charles joined me, Julianna in his arms.
“Very well, if you ask me. I haven’t seen Michael look at anyone like that since he saw you at the auction club.”
I shook my head. “Is that why you pounced on our conversation like a green-eyed monster?” I asked, teasing him.
“What did you expect? He was stepping into my territory.”
“I’m just glad we managed to make our amends. I’m glad that we are all friends now.”
“Me too.” He leaned over, kissing my cheek.
Jimmy shook his head, covering his eyes. I laughed and tickled him. He squirmed and managed to wiggle out of my arms. “Why don’t you go and tell everyone that it’s time for cake?” His eyes grew wide at the mention of cake. In a flash, he was running all over the estate, telling everyone cake, cake, cake.
Charles placed Julianna back in her chair before grabbing a glass of champagne. “Thank you everyone for celebrating this special moment with us. Our little girl turns one today. She’s growing up so fast, it’s hard to cherish all the little moments, but I know that Julianna will grow up to be an amazing woman, just like her mother.” He kissed me, his arm around my waist before he raised his glass in a toast. We drank to the health of our family before I grabbed the cake and placed it in front of Julianna.
