Inside the spa is amazing. Everything is elegantly decorated and set out to ensure that the environment is relaxing for the customers. We approach the desk and Anya tells them we have a reservation under the name Cerulean which shocks me even though by this point I really shouldn’t be surprised. The woman at the counter smiles and invites us to the changing rooms to get ready. She shows me the list of activities that have been arranged and I wonder if we are going to have enough time for it all. First, we have time to head to the showers before going to individual rooms for treatments. The treatments start with a facial and foot spa, followed by body treatment which then leads to a full body, head and neck massage. After that, we are advised to head into the salon for a manicure, pedicures, makeup, and hairstyling. I feel out of breath just reading the list but as I attend each appointment the stress and strain melt away from my body and mind leaving me utterly relaxed and my skin
I’m so nervous waiting for the girls with Ellis. I can’t understand why I am feeling this way. I have never been nervous to attend an event with a woman before. But when I saw the tux that she chose for me I was immediately intrigued to find out what her dress would be like. She had mentioned after all that she was planning for us to match. Anya steps out in a green mermaid dress and the colour and style suit her well. Ellis is stunned and murmurs to me under his breath. “God this woman is perfect. What did I do to bring this woman into my life.” I smile as I watch him approach her as she reaches the bottom of the stairs, and they are perfectly matched. But I worry because I still haven’t seen Angela. Where is she? Why didn’t she come down with Anya? Jack calls out and my gaze lifts to the landing waiting to see her. I am not prepared for what I see. She steps around the corner and begins to descend the stairs; I am rooted to the ground staring in awe. She truly is a vision. Her
We enter the building arm in arm, I can see people turning their heads to look at us as we walk through the crowd. I feel so nervous and out of place here. “Hey, relax, you are beside me so nothing bad can happen. Besides, you look breathtaking, so all these looks are them appreciating you while they try to figure out who you are.” “Oh, is that all, then in that case why should I be nervous at all.” “Haha, don’t worry Angel, as long as you remain by my side tonight all will be fine.” We continue walking and I smile at a few people who greet Grant before saying their hello’s to me too. We are talking with another hotel owner when I feel him tense up. I look around to try to figure out what the problem is, but nothing jumps out at me until I follow his eye line and that’s when I see her. Rita is standing directly across the room from us with her new man and flaunting her good fortune. I cast my gaze on the men and women closest to Rita and also to us and the looks that other people
When I come out of the stall to wash my hands, I am confronted by three women from the party who clearly followed me. At first, I decide to ignore them and focus on my hands, but they don’t seem to like that. “Oh, look it’s the escort.” “Hmm yes, and it seems that she thinks she is too good to acknowledge us.” “What a joke. Women like her are a disgrace. Taking all our men for themselves.” “I don’t even know why they call themselves escorts. We should call them what they are. Overpaid whores.” I snap, that last comment was the last straw. I’ve heard of high-end escorts and even looked into how they earn their fee and none of them includes sex in the contract. They are purely company for bachelors who need to attend a function with a date and nothing more. “If I were you, I would do more research before slinging insults and accusations at people.” They stare at me as though I am an alien after I speak. “Who are you to speak to us like that?!” The screeching is hurting my ears
As I watch Angela walk away from me, I notice many guests follow her with their eyes. The men take notice of her which causes the women they are with to notice her too. I worry that this may cause her trouble that she doesn’t deserve. Ellis wanders over with two drinks in hand and passes one to me. Anya is also by his side, and it seems as if they have been joined together all evening. “Where is Angel?” I face Anya to answer her question and realise that this is a perfect opportunity to try to avert any potential disasters. “She went to the bathroom to freshen up, but she has been some time, I wonder what could be keeping her.” Anya frowns for a moment before looking up and I can see she has decided something. “I am going to see if I can find her. I will be back shortly.” Ellis pecks her on the cheek and I nod as she turns to head to the bathrooms. “You and Anya seem close.” “That woman is amazing. Please don’t screw things up with Angel.” “What?” “I only mean that Anya is f
“That is the best thing I have heard all night. There is no way that a girl like you is dating a man like my husband. Look at you! There is nothing about you that would draw a man from this circle to you for anything more than a quick lay. So, enjoy this night while it lasts because I can’t see you attending anymore. I growl low in my throat in anger at Rita’s words. So much of what she just said is wrong but also, she insulted my woman directly in front of me and I will not accept that. “Ex-Husband.” The room freezes as she utters those two words and I swear you can hear a pin drop as everyone is watching us waiting for what is going to happen next. “What?” “You heard me. Grant is your Ex Husband because he threw you out on your lying, cheating, botox-filled ass and now that he is looking to someone else for happiness you cannot stand it. But Rita there is something you need to understand.” “And what is that?” I can hear the anger and indignation in Rita’s voice as she speaks
I wake as I feel my body being lifted and immediately my body and mind panic. “Shh easy, Angela it's only me, you are safe.” Strong arms hold me close to a warm body as I thrash around before I get my bearings and finally recognise Grant’s calm voice. I open my eyes and meet his concerned gaze as he holds me. “S-sorry, I, uh.” I don’t really know what to say about my panic attack and leave my sentence unfinished while I feel my cheeks warm in embarrassment. “Hey. You don’t have to be sorry; I should’ve known that this was a possibility.” I look up at him feeling guilty. I have forgotten my fear of being touched after spending so much time with him. But it seems that I can only tolerate him like this while I am awake and aware. “I don’t know what to say, Grant.” “You don’t need to say, anything Angel. Are you okay with me still carrying you upstairs? You seem to be quite sleepy still.” I smile and rest my head back on his chest which makes him chuckle and he hugs me closer as
However, my respite is short-lived as I feel his hands under my arms lifting me up and onto his lap, my knees straddling his hips. A small squeak of surprise leaves my lips as I am lifted but it is swallowed in the next moment as his lips crush into mine and he kisses me deeply. When we separate, we are both breathless, but he is not done with me. He turns and drops my body onto the bed then settles between my legs as he kisses down my jaw, neck, and collarbones. Over my breasts, through the valley between them, down my sternum to my belly button and then licks the line where my thong sits. I shudder from the sensation and begin to beg, “Ah, please sir, please.” “Mmmm what is it you want my pet?” “You sir. Please” He growls but I feel the smile on his lips as they are still pressed against my skin. “I was going to punish you for teasing me so much. But you have made me very happy so I will forgive you this time and instead give you a reward for your efforts.” His words make m
