~Cali~
“No gifts,” after taking that shower, Gio and I faced each other on the kitchen island once more. “We are not dating, this is just a companionship.”
We are setting down the terms of our agreement. A business deal I never thought of having to handle before, never in my wild imagination.
Gio hummed, “no dancing, kissing, touching other people while we’re together.”
There was no paper or pen in front of us. Just Gio’s phone recording our conversation at the moment. There is no use in jotting things down. This deal will solely rely on our honesty with each other, something I am not used to. Trust should be earned, but given the circumstances and crazy ideas laid in front of me, I am willing to risk it.
~Cali~Gio’s body is a wall of meat under my arms. It didn’t cross my mind that I was squeezing too tight like I was squeezing a lemon for its juice.It is his fault, though. I refuse to hold on to him as I climb on his motorcycle earlier.“Hold on, Princess,” he mumbled, I didn’t have to see his face to know that he’s smiling. I can hear the laughter in his voice, as loud as the wild beating of my heart.“No,” I secured the helmet on my head, keeping a safe distance between our bodies. A scream so loud, I thought I broke my windpipe, came out of my throat when he brought the monster to life, roaring forward. My arms came around his body on instinct. “culo fastidioso,” I growled. (Annoying ass)
~Cali~I was a hundred percent convinced Gio had the gift of persuasion. He must be an incubus that lures girls with his charm and prowess.“If you’re not here with me, where will you be right now?” Since we can’t ask something too personal, random questions filled the air.Sitting by the infinity pool close to the patio, a glass of wine in our hands, our feet dangling on the water as we lounge on the poolside. There is too little space between us, a wine glass wide distance.He hasn’t touched me, although I crave it. I’m just enjoying this little talk we are having, laughing, learning a thing or two about his personality.Gio is a sweet guy, I wonder if he is like this with his girls. A pa
~Cali~ Gio’s hands came to cup my heavy breast, his thumb brushing over the dusky peaks of my nipples. Back and forth his fingers went, playing with my puckered buds in circles, teasing me. It took all my courage not to close my eyes, not to look away from the intense dark golden eyes staring up at me. “Wouldn’t want it any other way, Princess,” and with that, his mouth clasped around one of my pebbled nipples, making me moan his name, loud. The sensation of his soft lips around my areola, the feel of his hand to stimulate the neglected one had me arching my back. Every glide, caress and lick of his warm mouth had me squirming. I don’t know if I can last long if he continues this torture, but I tried my hardest to hold everything in.
~Cali~Everything is perfect. My body’s awakened, I can feel life flowing in abundance all over my veins. Rejuvenated and tired, and I was sore in all my feminine parts, there was no denying it. And my skin also bears Gio’s marks, yet I’m okay with everything, love it even.To wake up alone in bed is nothing new to me. I didn’t expect Gio to sleep beside me, yet he held me all night. My body was beyond wasted, but that didn’t stop me from savoring the gentleness of Gio’s fingers that ran through my hair over and over until I fell asleep. The same with the warmth of his body that made the purpose of duvet unnecessary.He wrapped me in the cocoon of his powerful arms, and I slept like a baby.Edward never held me like Gio did. All I woul
~Evan~I never understood how one girl changed my best friend in just a short amount of time. Devin and I have been friends for a long time and we fooled around with girls. Our pants’ zippers are like revolving doors for girls to come and go as we please.Since his relationship with Ren shattered like waves crashing in the shore three years ago, Devin dated no one again. He stopped fooling around and poured his attention to his business, expanding his empire of hotels all across the globe.‘You will understand when you fall in love,’ this is his exact words to me.Love is something I know nothing about. Girls are complicated creatures. I’d rather keep myself from being bombarded with complaints about the amount of calories in their food. There was
~Evan~ After driving Princess to her place on Monday morning, I returned to Devin’s place to finish what I came here for. Devin treasured this house the most among all of his property. His mom loved this place, and whenever they’d escape to this paradise, Aunt Cassandra always tagged me along. She loved me the same way she loved Devin and Eve, and I vowed to keep this house as beautiful as it is. In memory of her. With local help from Barbados, the month long renovation might take just two weeks. Finishing this project early means I could spend more time with my Princess. “Did they get the right color this time?” I asked Mike, the local contractor I hired for this project. He nodded, handing me the 24x24 natural stone co
~Cali~Gio is annoyingly insatiable, and I like every second of him being possessive of me. No one has ever made me feel wanted the way he wanted me. Not even Edward.I can’t help but compare my relationship with Edward with this agreement I have with Gio. It’s not fair to compare two different people, not with any circumstances, but yeah. Even sex with Gio is miles away from what Edward and I had.Edward proposed to me the night of our college graduation. At that time, Dad was still having issues with my sister Ren and Edward’s family business was on the brink of bankruptcy. We both have obligations to our families, so I decided that it’ll be best for our engagement to be kept between us for the time being.It was pretty late when I learned he wa
~Cali~Looking at the calendar available on the nightstand made me realize a week has gone by from that day I hated the most. Valentine’s Day.I totally lost track of everything. My sister’s plan worked, coupled with the bliss that Gio brought into my life. The wound I nursed for three years looked like a scratch compared to this pain I am feeling. The sad part is, I don’t even understand why.Time stood still, and all that mattered to me was him. Even when we’re not together, he is all I could think about and I hate myself for doing so.He is trouble; I know this since the beginning of this agreement. The warning bells and red flags flashed in my face, but that didn’t stop me from falling deep into his arms. A beautiful man like him would n
