SimonAs the youngest of the Stanley brothers, I earned the reputation of a hoodlum despite my family's community standing. Even though some say I'm highly intelligent, my playful nature and inclination to prank people have gotten me in trouble too many times. I was even kicked out of his boarding school at one point.Sebastian tried to teach me everything he knew about the hotel business and wanted to get me to act more involved, but I refused. I told him the hotel business is "too boring," and I have other sources of income. I never clarified what kind of work I did to earn my own money, but Sebastian couldn't get me to talk about it. He is all too familiar with my secretive nature and interrogating me never did any good.This is why it's a relief that Sebastian stopped playing play pretend and got control over the business.I looked at my watch and squinted. How long was she planning to take in that store? Women...Knowing her, she could take all day, but I was willing to wait fore
Sebastian It didn't take me too long to get back in the groove once I started to focus on business again. I couldn't be distracted now. Not when there was someone out there trying to destroy my business. I haven't spoken to Delilah since our steamy night at the sex club. I figured I should give her a little break and let her enjoy her time at the bookstore. It doesn't mean I am done with her. Far from it. I have more things in store for my angel. My assistant Melanie informed me that Simon is visiting. I put Simon in charge of hiring a new Chef for the new hotel we just opened, so there was much to discuss. Simon never wanted to do much for this company, so I had to make a special request to convince him. I wonder what he does in his spare time. "What do you have for me?" I asked once Simon walked in. "Steven Malone is currently looking for a change of pace and has applied for a job with our company," Simon said. "Great. He could be an excellent addition to the hotel. Set up an
Delilah Meanwhile, I can't stop thinking about that night at the club. My body heats up every time I remember What he did to me. He didn't hold back. He touched and licked every part of my body. He made me come over and over until I begged him to stop. I know he was trying to make me long for him, and it worked. "Do these go here?" I snap back into reality when Charlie suddenly speaks to me. He is standing next to a shelf with a cart full of books. "Yeah, it's fine. Just make sure to organize them in alphabetical order," I instructed. Charlie nods and goes back to work. My phone dings. It was a text from Sebastian. What does he want me to do this time? Visit the strip club and watch him get a lap dance? I thought irritably. 'Pack your bags and make sure your passport is up to date. We are leaving for Italy next week. We will be staying there for the weekend.' the text said. What... I can't just up and leave like that! I have work to do! I typed furiously. I need to stand my
SimonI look at the attractive woman in front of me. She has long, silky brown hair and big brown eyes. Is she the type of woman his older brother likes? I had no idea. I didn't think Sebastian had a type. He admired beautiful women in general.She is visibly upset. What did my brother do to her this time?"I am sorry for asking you to meet me like this even though we just met," she laughed nervously. She twirled her hair with her fingers and avoided eye contact with me."It's no big deal. What was it you wanted to talk about?" I asked. I didn't know why I had agreed to meet her. I usually liked to avoid Sebastian's conquests as they could get clingy and annoying, but this woman seemed different. She has a calming aura surrounding her."About Sebastian. I wanted to ask..." she hesitated."You can tell me. I swear I'm not as intimidating as him," I chuckled."It's just that I am not sure what he wants from me exactly. He lied about his identity when we met, and now this...he trapped me
Simon I knew where to find Olivia and decided to show up there. It is Saturday, so I knew Olivia would be at one of the most popular and high-scale clubs called 'The Club Medusa' downtown, dancing the night away. I knew she loved to dance, so it was the perfect opportunity to sweep her off her feet since I was not a bad dancer myself. I put on some jeans and a black button-up shirt, then headed to Club Medusa. I didn't have a hard time getting in since all I had to do was to wave a five hundred dollar bill in front of the bouncer. Soon, I was inside. I scanned the entire floor. It is a habit I developed while being trained by my brilliant yet mysterious boss Ares. I spot Olivia dancing right in the middle of the dance floor. My left eyebrow rises a fraction when I see a tall and skinny guy approaching her and asking her to dance. She looks at him for a few moments, then nods in agreement. Then they start dancing. Jealousy wells up inside me as I see her swaying her hips near an
DelilahI don't know why I care, but my feelings about the trip immediately changed once Simon mentioned it was Sebastian's birthday. Maybe it is wishful thinking, but I want to believe that he wanted my company that day, and it makes me feel good. Maybe Sebastian still has feelings for me.But how do I feel about him? I wondered. I know I can't hate him no matter how hard I try, and my heart beats furiously when I am near him. And I have the strangest desire to be near him at all times.Maybe I have feelings for him. Perhaps I fell in love with him without even realizing it. And his being rich has nothing to do with it. I want the old Sebastian back. He might've been cheap and clumsy, but he was sweet. I'd rather have him than all the money in the world.I sighed and decided to stop fighting him about the trip. In fact, I am starting to look forward to it. I need to figure out what to give him as a birthday present. What do you give a man who could get everything he ever wanted? Simo
Sebastian I look at Delilah, who is leaning back on the seat with her eyes closed. She hadn't opened her eyes since the captain announced our departure. She must be afraid of flying, I thought and smirked. She'll have to get used to it since there will be a lot more of those in the future. "Hey, Delilah, why don't you open your eyes and look at the view down below?" I tap her on the shoulder. "N...no thank you," Delilah mumbled. I signal the flight attendant to come closer. "What can I get you, Mr. Stanley?" "Get Miss Gibson something to drink. Something strong. Thanks, Kate," I ordered. Delilah's eyes snapped open. "That's not necessary. I don't drink much," she said quickly and sat up. I look at her hands. They are shaking. I soften my gaze as I realize she is scared. Maybe I shouldn't have forced her to take this trip. I was being selfish. Nah, I shouldn't feel bad. I have always spent my birthdays alone, as I never had the desire to do with anyone. My brother and I are c
Sebastian I stare at the sleeping Delilah and release a sigh. I can't seem to understand this woman. Why doesn't she refuse me when I act so beastly toward her? If she would just shove me off and slap me senselessly, I would back off and never touch her again. Is she scared of him because of the contract? Did she take all my empty threats seriously? But it isn't like the contract stated she is obligated to have a sexual relationship with me. Did she not read the agreement? Maybe she is just weak. Or maybe she has feelings for me despite how I treated her like some kind of masochist. Nothing made sense to me. I tried not to feel guilty about forcing her to go down on me earlier, but my heart felt heavy. I went too far earlier, and it wasn't in my nature to do something like that. I am turning into a monster as the day goes by, and I am not sure how to tame it anymore. I secretly hoped Delilah would resist more and put me in my place. Delilah is lying on the bed naked and flat on he
