"You guys know each other?" Luca scanned the three of us with knitted eyebrows."No!" I denied sharply. Way too sharply. "I guess we've seen each other somewhere. I mean, maybe."David raised an eyebrow at me, obviously wondering why I was lying. "Hey, cousin, you have great taste." He said, causing me to glare at him."Well, it's a pleasure to meet you, Skylar." David stretched out his hand tentatively."Likewise." I flashed him a sweet smile as I shook his hand, wishing my eyes were bullets. It's been three years since he broke my heart and he is happy with the woman he cheated on me with."Anyways, I think we will go greet the others now. See you." David announced, taking his wife's hand and leading her away.Luca turned to look at me before I could unclench my teeth. It's more than obvious that I'm upset by David's presence and he's sure to notice that. "Hey, let's dance."Looking at him, I wondered why he was acting like he hadn't sensed the tension.I didn't know why I'd lied a
Skylar's POVRamiro took some steps towards me, and I took some backward, my heart pounding inside my chest.Ramiro begins to speak. "Was it six or seven months ago? Who cares? We met you at this bar, my friend and I. He approached you first and you were more than willing to fuck him. We tried to bargain for a threesome but you refused because you said you didn't do threesomes. You agreed to sleep with only one of us even though we wanted to take turns.""It'd been a while since my friend got laid, so I agreed to let him have you on the condition that I watched while you guys fucked."I gasped when I felt his breath on my ear, unable to move. He went on, a smile lacing his voice. "Watching my friend sink his dick into you was the sexiest live porn I'd ever watched while I sat in a corner unable to keep myself from jerking off. It was so...""That wasn't me." I finally found my voice to deny it.Why was my past coming back to bite me now?Ramiro laughed, finally stopping in front of me
SKYLAR'S POVAfter my confrontation with Luca, my chest felt too tight. I didn't even know why I was feeling this way.Luca had basically called me a slut. Heck, I'd heard worse things, so why the hell was his words affecting me so much? Stomping into Luca's bedroom, I entered the bathroom, banging the door shut. I went to stand in front of the mirror just as a single tear slid down my left cheek. What the hell? I wiped the tear furiously and glared at myself in the mirror. You are made of tougher stuff, idiot.There was no way I was going to allow Luca's words to wound my confidence and pride in myself. But as I realized that was exactly what I was doing, I cursed. At that moment, I resented Luca. Resented him for making me so needy, needy for his approval.I resented him for making me feel so needy for more of the kisses I'd just had a taste of not even an hour ago.A firm knock sounded on the door. I figured out who it was even before Luca spoke. "Hey, are you okay? Can I come i
SKYLAR'S POVThe midnight weather was unexpectedly cold, and it didn't spare me as I lay in bed even though I'd covered myself with a quilt.Pretending to be asleep, I watched as Luca walked around in only his pajama pants. The light glistened off his muscled torso sculptured to perfection, and my body warmed at the thought of him holding me in his strong arms.Jesus Christ, he was so gorgeous it was illegal. Why the hell hadn't he been sentenced to life imprisonment already?I quickly closed my eyes when Luca turned to look at me.The family had finally decided to call it a night after quite some fun activities ending with a pillow game where the pillow was passed around from one person to another while a song blared from a music box. The one who had possession of the pillow whenever Elliot, the coordinator, brought the song to an end was forced to sing a selected song. Fortunately, my luck prevented me from being chosen to display my horrible voice.We'd returned to our room and ta
SKYLAR'S POV"I can't believe he is gone." Elliot wailed as she was handed the tenth tissue by her sister, one of Luca's grandmothers. "I mean, I knew his condition was serious but not that serious. Oh God, he was such a good person. Always thinking about the good of others. Why did you take him so soon?"We'd come down for breakfast only to meet a weeping Elliot at the table. Apparently, a friend and neighbour of hers, Benito, had died. Everyone looked distressed at her state, especially when she wouldn't stop talking about the life of this Benito.Seeing Elliot like this was pushing every one of my emotional buttons, prompting an unwarranted memory of my mother with a similar tear-stained face after her divorce from my dad.While everyone else commiserated with the old woman, Ramiro was sitting on his chair with a bored look on his face. Meeting his gaze, I threw him a look of pure disgust. Unfazed, he only smiled lecherously at me."Son," Elliot finally sniffed and wiped her runni
SKYLAR'S POVRamiro flashed me a 'think about it look' before walking away, whistling portentously. I swallowed, breaking a sweat despite myself. Even though I didn't want to believe Ramiro, something told me he wasn't joking. I was in deep shit."Earth to Skylar." Anna's voice cut through my fearful daze. I nearly jumped and quickly scrambled to regain my composure. "Are you okay?""Hey, Anna. Of course, I'm okay." I forced out a nervous chuckle. "Why wouldn't I be?"Anna gave her a suspicious look that unnerved her greatly. "I don't know. Just that my cousin knows how to spell nothing but trouble, so I was wondering if he was trying to spell it to you.""Oh, you know your cousin." I stepped past Anna before the woman could see my expression. "Just being his annoying self."Luckily, Anna seemed to swallow that lie. "Well, mum was just wondering where you were.""Oh, let's go then," I said. Anna took my hand, and we strolled to the house together.Only the older ladies were gathered
Author's POVRealizing she was caught between a rock and a hard place, Skylar palmed her face in desperation and rested her elbow on her thighs. How could she have gotten herself into all this mess?Bits from that night begun coming back to her. She remembered Ramiro and his friend begging her for a threesome and how she'd refused vehemently. Ramiro had then pleaded that she let him watch her and his friend getting it on. At that time, Skylar's thought was that the least she could give to Ramiro was a fantasy to masturbate to.Suddenly the memories came rushing through her mind. They'd argued about whose house to go to for the escapade until they'd finally decided to go to a hotel instead. And then it clicked! There was no way Ramiro could've gotten enough time to plant a camera especially since she'd been the one who'd selected the room."Skylar, are you sure you're okay?" Eva, sitting on the couch just adjacent hers, asked tentatively just as Skylar's frantic heart rescued to it's
SKYLAR'S POVLater I stepped into the bathroom. Prying the curtains open, I stepped forward and turned on the shower, enjoying the feel of the warm water against my skin.I soaped myself, rubbing some aching muscles, reveling in the feel of the water so much that when the creak of the door cut through my moment, I didn't hear it until footsteps sounded. I spun around immediately to check who'd entered the bathroom.There he stood, Luca, seemingly frozen as his eyes raked over my naked body. It happened so quickly that I could do nothing but stare back, startled. Until he finally turned, that is."I'm so sorry. I. . . I didn't know you were here. I should've knocked first." He walked out of the room, closing the door behind him.A wave of embarrassment washed over me, burning my cheeks. God, Luca Knight, my boss, had just seen me naked. I suddenly felt self-conscious. What was he thinking? Did seeing my nude make him feel anything? Heck, why hadn't I drawn the curtains?Waiting a minut
