"Good evening, gentlemen," I greet them as we approach the table. Both men promptly stand."If it isn't the famous artist. Good evening, Nathan . It's great to see you tonight," Lucas says." Likewise. Natalia , allow me to introduce Lucas and his son, Parker. this is Phebe," I make the introductions."Pleasure to meet you, Natalia ," Lucas says, extending his hand for a handshake."Nice meeting you, Mr. Lucas," Natalia says, shaking his hand turning to Parker, she politely adds, "Nice meeting you too, Mr. Parker," Natalia says politely."Oh, please, call me Parker," Parker says, grinning. I feel urge to wipe it off his face. Frowning, I notice he is holding her hand longer than I’d like."Let’s focus on dinner and why we’re all here, please," Lucas says, bringing relief. Parker finally releases Natalia 's hand, allowing me to pull out a chair for her. It unsettles me that she will be sitting across from Parker, but I find solace int the fact that she’s seated right beside me.We set

"Parker seems to be quite taken with you," I casually comment."Weren’t his intentions just to make polite conversation?" Natalia raises an eyebrow, her lips curving into a smirk."That was definitely more than just polite conversation. I’m just saying this based on my observations." I shrug, trying to appear nonchalant."Well, that's interesting, then," she chuckles. I frown wondering what is so intriguing about Parker flirting with her. The thought of her possibly being interested in him turns my mood sour.As we drive back to the beach house, the silence between us becomes tense. I can't shake the image of Parker's lingering attention on Natalia , and a knot of unease tightens in my stomach. Once we step out of the car and enter the beach house, I turn to face Natalia ."Natalia , can I ask you something?" The words tumble out before I can second-guess myself."Of course, Nathan ." She glances at me, her expression expectant.I pause for a moment, carefully choosing my words."You
"Nathan , things aren't always as what they seem. My marriage was a nightmare from the start. I despised Jason, but I had to obey him or else my father would have come after you," she says, her lips trembling slightly. I'm drawn to her, closing the gap without hesitation."I wish I could give you all the details, but it's not that simple. Please, trust me."She bites her lip, fear and uncertainty flickering in her eyes. The tension between us grows as I search for answers, but fear is all I see. Her marriage is over, her father is dead, so what has her so scared? Taking a deep breath, I imagine the horrors she must have faced."Fine, but please, when you are ready, I want to know everything," I relent, my voice softer now. I'm relieved when she nods."I want you so much, Nathan . You're the only man who affects me this way.""I want you, too, Natalia . In fact, I've failed every time I tried to resist. I can't deny what's between us, Natalia . It becomes harder to fight it each time."
Nathan s fingers wrap around my back, pulling me closer for another kiss. After we part, I remove my briefs, guiding myself into her, groaning as I feel her tightness envelop me.“Nathan ,” Natalia gasps as I penetrate her fully. I hold myself above her, gritting my teeth, desperately trying to maintain control. Her fingers scrape my back, urging me to move.“Who wants you to have control?” she mutters before gently biting my earlobe. My control shatters, and I start moving in and out of her with intensity. She gasps, and I grunt in response. Holding back my own climax, I wait for her.Just before I reach my breaking point, she screams as her orgasm washes over her. I closely follow closely grunt of my own. There is nothing more exquisite than this moment I frownas wake up hours later, only to find my bed empty. Hoping to see Natalia , I quickly glance around, but it’s clear she isn’t here. I push the sheet away and grab my pants from the floor, intending to leave my room and search
Natalia The credits roll on the screen and a moment silence fills the room as the movie comes to an end. Nathan leans back against the couch, stretching his arms overhead. There has been a noticeable shift since that night. Nathan and I have grown closer than I ever imagined. Who would have thought that we’d be enjoying a movie together like this? It feels like I'm reconnecting with Nathan I knew nineteen years ago."You know, it's been years since I actually sat down and watched a movie," he confesses, his voice tinged with nostalgia.Surprised, I glance at him."Years? What do you do for fun, then?" I ask, my curiosity piqued.Nathan chuckles softly, his eyes glimmering with amusement and self-reflection."Believe it or not, my paintings became my everything. I would lose track of time as I immersed myself in the canvas."Taken aback by his intense response, "I see."He nods, a faint smile playing on his lips."It became my sanctuary, my way of coping with everything. Each piece to
He fulfills our desires, closing the distance between us, pressing his lips firmly against mine. A soft moan escapes my lips as our kiss intensifies, and he skillfully guides me, gently pushing me against the couch without breaking our kiss. My hands instinctively wrap around him, eagerly exploring every inch of his being within my reach."I crave you," Nathan admits, breaking the kiss as we both struggle to catch our breath."I want you, too, Nathan ," I say as my fingers tenderly caressing his face.His gaze locks onto mine as he whispers, his fingers tracing a gentle path along my back."There are so many things I want to do to you,” he says."Then, what are you waiting for?" I whisper, bringing my arms around his neck, and I initiate another deep and fervent kiss. In. the moment, all the pent-up passion we harbor for each other takes control. He returns the kiss with full passion, carefully lifting me against his chest our lips still locked in a passionate dance."You drive me cra
"Do you want to?" I ask."Never. Do you?" He responds."No, this is the most beautiful moment of my life," I confess. Nathan smiles and gently kisses on my forehead. He looks content as he wraps his arm around me, and together we drift off to sleep.Natalia My heart raced as I left the beach house. I gasp at the sight before me, not expecting what I see after Nathan ’s recent text. Candlelight glowed softly, casting enchanting shadows on the sand. A trail of rose petals leads me closer to the beachside, each step quickening my heartbeat. It’s been days since I spoke about my forced marriage, and Nathan had changed so much. I cherished every moment, reminiscent of our early years together. Despite his humble beginning, he had always been sweet, just like today. My heart continues to beat in my chest as I try to quell my excitement.Nathan stands there, looking more handsome than ever in the dim light. The flickering candles and the moonlight accentuated his features, and the way his g
