The phone dragged Gabriel out of his reverie. It was Nick.
"Hey gorgeous, is everything ok?"
"Gorgeous? I must have done something right last night." Nick chuckled. "So far, everything is fine. Lucy and Sophie have turned up on the beach, and they are all giggling over something. I'm in boathouse sorting the Jet Ski out."
"I think you need to be on the boat with me."
"Do I? What games are you planning now? Nick said grinning
"No games, I just want you both with me," Gabriel said.
"How far out are you?" Nick asked, wondering if Gabriel was ok. He wasn't the kind to usually say things like that unless he was feeling upset.
"About twenty minutes. Get rid of the twins, ask them to tell their dad we need a table for this evening."
"Are you taking me out for dinner?" Nick asked.
"Well, it's either that or a pizza."
"Oh, decisions, decisions..." laughed Nick. "That's tricky, but if the love of my life wishes to buy me di
Did she see that? Did she really see Gabriel and Nick kissing? No, they were playing tricks, weren't they? Perhaps that wasn't what she saw, Millie thought. The two men stared at her. Perhaps Gabriel was being silly and larking about he was very good at that. Huh, maybe she was completely blind and stupid. Gabriel kissed Nick. There were no two ways about it."Plates are ready," she mumbled and turned back down the steps to the galley. There were two doors in the galley one at either end. Millie ran through both doors. The tears began to fall as she ran through the main saloon and the door. She ran down the stairs and ended up on the lower deck. She sat on the lower wooden deck, curled up small and squeezed in behind the dinghy. They could look for her, and she hoped they would think she had jumped overboard and was swimming for the shore.So were they gay? It certainly looked like it, what were they doing with her then? They had b
A lump was forming in the back of her throat, and she moved to the dressing room to find some clothes, she couldn't take much, but she got changed and piled tops and jeans and underwear - including panties - to the clothing on the stool, a skirt and top would do for now.Looking out of the window before she left the bedroom, she saw Nick sitting on the Jet Ski at the side of the boat he was taking to Gabe. She had better hurry up before he came up to the house. Grabbing her toothbrush and a few things from the bathroom Millie hurtled down the stairs and taking her bag from the kitchen table, sh
Millie finished her dinner. She was shocked to hear Gary's account of Sabrina's death. She must have loved Gabriel to go back to him or was it as Gary said she just loved the lifestyle of being with one of the most famous men in the world."Where did the crash happen, Gary?""On the way back to London, she had been living with me on my boat."
Sophie knocked on the door of Millie's room. She had her arms full of clothes and shoes that had just been delivered by Nick a few moments ago. There was a letter for her too.Millie mumbled into her pillow as Sophie stuck her head around the door."Morning Millie, I've got a delivery for you," Sophie chirped.
After they had drunk their coffee, Millie desperately needed to walk off the lunch, especially the desserts. Meringues and profiteroles, ice cream and strawberries had all made an appearance on the dessert cart, including a piece of decadent chocolate cake that the three of them couldn't resist and had shared. Millie had fed them a forkful at a time."Oh God, I think I'm going to burst." Millie moaned as she sat back in her chair. "If only Nick hadn't forced that snail on me I would be fine."Nick raised his brow at her ridiculously untrue statement."I think it might have been that huge plate of profiteroles you just scoffed." He reminded her."No, no, it was the mollusc. If you hadn't forced that in my mouth I wouldn't have had to eat the profiteroles to taste away." Millie smiled up at him.Nick rolled his eyes at her. "Come and sit down."Millie shook her head, "No, I need to walk, need to get rid of this full to bursting feeling. Come o
Millie turned on the seat to face Nick. He looked slightly apprehensive at what she might ask. They were silent for a few a while as Millie let the information about Gabriel sink in. Her Gabriel. How could he have suffered so much tragedy and still be the be funny, beautiful man he was? Her heart was breaking for him, and not only Gabriel but Nick as well. Nick who held everything together, what heartbreak had he suffered?"So," she asked, wanting to change the subject slightly. "If you were both happy with just women before, why and how are you and Gabe in a sexual relationship?" She asked after a few minutes of getting both their feelings under control.Nick smiled and shook his head. " I'm attracted to men, well, some men. I always have been, and women too, it's..." Nick looked at the sky for an answer as he watched a bird swooping in the sky. " freedom, to not have to choose the gender of your lover. As for Gabriel, I've known him since we were seventeen. We
Gabriel was sitting at the piano when he heard the door opening. He was humming a tune he was halfway through writing and was jotting notes down on a sheet on score paper. Gabriel put his pen down and walking over to the large square archway. He stood and watched for a moment and then leaned against the jamb arms and legs crossed to enjoy watching Nick and Millie kissing, he knew how turned on Nick would be by now, in fact watching them he was feeling stirrings in his groin.Millie suddenly opened her eyes and caught sight of Gabriel. She pulled away from Nick with a gasp, scuttling off to the bathroom, to repair her face."I take it that the game is on then?" Gabriel smirked when he heard the bathroom door snap shutNick went to the bar and poured a triple vodka and downed it in one."Christ was it as bad as that?" Gabe asked, watching Nick. "What the hell did she say to you?""What? Nick turned around not realising that Gabriel had spoken. "Oh, n
It was hot in bed, and Millie turned over trying to find a cold patch, it was more difficult in this bed, as it wasn't as big as the one at home she had more room of her own there. Here she was somewhat hemmed in, Nick on one side and Gabriel on the other. She got comfortable again putting her arm out of bed to cool off a bit and moved her legs.Opening her eyes, she faced Gabriel. Millie studied him carefully, his eyes were closed, and his lashes were thick dark scimitars, why did men always have the longest lashes? Her gaze travelled further down his face. She could see that his stubble had g
