Luna’s POV
I was woken by my 5am morning alarm, it was Friday morning and we had decided to drive to London rather than get the train. As the drive was six hours long we decided that I would drive for the first three hours and Carrie would drive for the rest.
I slowly dragged myself out of bed and searched through my belongings for something comfy to wear, I decided to settle with a pair of black leggings a black vest top and a nude oversized shirt, it was the kind of outfit you could dress up with a pair of heels or dress down with a pair of boots, obviously I chose the latter due to travelling all day. The hotel we were staying in was five star, I wanted to look at least somewhat presentable, Carrie on the other hand always went to the extreme. When she found out we were staying in a five star hotel she went and bought a whole new outfit just for our arrival, High wasted jeans a white shirt and blazer and a pair of high heeled stilettos, however, she did decide to drive in her training shoes thank god, I can’t see how driving in 5 inch stilettos for three hours would work out too well.
Once showered and dressed I applied my makeup, I’ve never been a vain person but I also never liked to leave the house without a bit of makeup, I felt much better in myself with a bit of foundation and mascara. My hair fell down past my shoulders in a beautiful natural wave, Carrie and I decided to get our hairs cut and styled yesterday ready for the weekend. I didn’t get too much cut off, I always loved my long locks, Carrie was very similar that way, she had a lot of pride in her long golden blonde hair.
I walked downstairs to the kitchen, to my surprise Carrie was dressed and sat drinking a coffee.
“I’ve made you a coffee, we’ll grab breakfast on the way there” she said enthusiastically.
“wow, you must have been up before the birds, did you even sleep” I joked, Carrie was not much of a morning person.
“I slept like a baby thank you, oh and before I forget Mama Jane rang she just wanted to give an update on Jasper, he’s settled right in with the other two dogs and has even took over the bed” Carrie laughed.
Mama Jane was Carrie’s mother, that’s how Carrie introduced her to me and ever since I continue to call her mama Jane. Jasper was my bulldog, the night of the assault I left without thinking and forgot to get Jasper, I asked Carrie to get Jasper back for me but the following day before she left to get him, a policeman turned up at Carries door with Jasper by his side. He told me how he found the dog at my house but no trace of Ethan. Since the attack I had not taken Jasper for a walk or spent time training him, Mama Jane would come round to Carrie’s every day and offer to take him on walks with her two dogs. I noticed Jasper looked forward to his walks with Mama Jane, somehow he always knew when it was time for walks and he would wait by the door for mama Jane. After four weeks I realised I wanted Jasper to have the best life and I knew this would be with Carrie’s mother so I asked her if she would like to give him his forever home, I knew he would be loved and Mama Jane was more than happy to take him.
Carrie and I set off at 8.00am, we decided to stop off for breakfast at Jeff’s coffee shop, we knew we needed fuel before we started driving for six hours, neither of us were great to be around when we were hungry. We finished up and Jeff gave us some doughnuts to take along for the ride, he was such a sweetheart.
We had been driving for three hours before I pulled up to a service station, Carrie and I switched places and she began to drive the remainder of the way.
After what seemed like forever we finally drove up to a huge hotel, it was stunning.
Carrie found parking in the private car park underground, we grabbed our luggage from the boot of the car, Carrie quickly changed into her heels and we made our way to the front of the hotel. It had a red carpet laid out up the stairs and leading into the foyer, it was like it was made for true VIP’s.
The doors were opened by two men stood either side of them, they both wore matching uniforms looking extremely professional and handsome, clearly the hotel has high standards, these men look like gods I thought. They continued to take our luggage and lead us to the main reception area, it was huge with the most amazing chandeliers hanging from the ceiling and stunning marble floors throughout. To the left hand side was a number of elevators, to the right was a huge restaurant and at the back was a bar area. I hadn’t realised that I had stopped in my tracks to take in the beautiful interior until I was snapped away from my thoughts by Carrie’s voice “Luna, come on”
I began walking towards the huge reception desk which also appeared to be made from marble, I glanced to my left and noticed two men stood beside the elevators. What I wasn’t prepared for was the eyes staring back at me, the eyes of the most handsome man I have ever seen. He must have been around 6 foot 2 inches, black shoulder length hair tied back into a pony, a beautiful groomed beard and the most amazing muscular physique. He stared at me while readjusting the cuff on his shirt, I noticed the top button of the shirt was undone and I could see the outline of tattoos. I quickly tore my gaze from his and approached the reception desk.
“Hi, I believe there is a room booked for me. My name is Miss Blake” I said to the young lady on reception. She had the brightest smile with a natural and soft complexion.
“One moment please, I will check” she replied.
“Miss Blake, You will be staying in rooms 501 and 502, here are your keys. If you require any assistance there is a telephone in your room or there is always someone here to help” said the receptionist.
When checking in I hadn’t realised the publishing company had paid for two separate rooms for myself and my plus one, thankfully Carrie’s room was right next door to mine. I thanked the receptionist and glanced over to the elevator, I was slightly disappointed not to see the beautiful god still stood there. What was I thinking, I’m here for work and I’ve had enough of men to last me a lifetime.
Carrie and I made our way to the elevator, we stepped inside and Carrie immediately began to laugh
“What is so funny” I asked?
“I feel like a celebrity, this hotel is amazing and I know I saw you checking out that guy. I don’t blame you, I was checking out his friend, he looks delicious” Carrie laughed.
“I’m here for business Carrie, not pleasure” I stated. “Yeh but it won’t hurt to have a little bit of fun” she winked, we both laughed.
Romano’s POV“So what’s our next move” Santos asked.“Arrange a meeting for tonight, they can come to us. If they want this deal to go ahead they need to accept our offer” I replied.Santos is my cousin, although he’s more like my brother, we’ve been through so much together and I trust him with my life. This is why I have him running most of my business, he deals with the clients and all the gritty stuff that goes with it, of course I oversee everything to make sure it’s exactly how it should be but most of the time I trust Santos enough to deal with it.Santos is speaking on the phone with the client while I stand in-front of the floor length window, the view from the hotel is spectacular, even better from the penthouse.I’m deep in thought, I can’t get that woman out of my head, who is she, I need to know. Just those few minutes of watching her in the lobby had me mesmerized, when her eyes met mine I was completely hooked. It’s strange I’ve never looked at a woman and been so taken
Luna’s POVI woke from my sleep by the banging on my hotel door, I took a look at my phone and see it is 7.10pm, “SHIT” I say as I jump off the bed. I’m meant to be ready for 7.00pm, Carrie had booked us a table in the restaurant downstairs. I scurry to the door as I wipe the sleep from my eyes, I open it to find Carrie looking as stunning as ever. This girl never fails to amaze me, she always looks so glamourous.“What the hell are you doing, our table is booked for 7pm and you’re not even ready” she says looking annoyed.“I laid down for 5 minutes, I must have fell asleep, the next thing I know is it’s 7.10, I’m sorry I’ll quickly get ready now” I say.“Ok but be quick, I’ll go down to the table and get the drinks in while you get ready, don’t be long” she replied as she walked out of the room.I quickly showered and returned to the bedroom pulling all my clothes from my suitcase, I hadn’t even unpacked yet. I decided to go with a black strapless jumpsuit with slightly flared legs
Romano’s POVThank fuck this meeting is over, Santos and I stood from our seats with everyone else following suit. We shook hands with the three men, telling Stefan I’d call him next week to arrange a start date, before he turned to leave. Just then I noticed Luna walking this way, she looked incredible.“Roman, sit back down we need to celebrate” I heard Kate say.I looked at everyone who had already taken their seats once again. I could see them looking from me to Luna, I knew they had seen me staring at her but I didn't care. Kate however had a face like thunder, what the hell was her problem.Just as Luna got close to where I was seated she was suddenly pulled back, some asshole with a scar down his face had grabbed her arm and pulled her close to him. I could see Luna trying to pull away from him but now he had his arms around her waist.“Get the fuck off me” I heard her shout, I could see her struggling to get out of his grip.“I’ll show you a good time” he slurred while another
Luna’s POVI was stood staring at myself in the mirror of the ladies room, what the fuck just happened I thought to myself. My hands were trembling, I swore to myself I would never let another man put his hands on me again and there I was with some asshole holding onto me like I was a piece of meat, the same asshole I met a short time earlier in the elevator.I can’t believe I did nothing I should have punched him right in his face, instead I ran off.Mr Callaso, why did he help me? I thought to myself although I was actually grateful for his help. My mind wondered to that accent of his, He wasn’t from the UK, he had an American accent, New York if I’m not mistaken but his name sounds Italian or Greek, his voice was so deep it sent shivers down my spine.“Luna” I was snapped out of my thoughts by Carrie, she looked worried. Shit I completely forgot about Carrie and ran off leaving her with the friend of Mr Callaso.“Are you ok?” she asked with concern in her voice as she ran over to
Luna’s POV“I’m glad to see you’re ok”.That voice, something about it gives me butterflies, I turned to my right and there he was stood beside me, towering over me and staring me right in the eyes. I’m almost certain time stood still for a moment.“I’m fine” I said, breaking the silence between us. Just at that moment I noticed Kate walking passed furiously heading back into Olive’s, I also didn’t miss the dirty look she thew my way as she walked by and I know Roman noticed it too.How can he just stand here talking to me while his wife is clearly upset with him. seriously she may be as bad as Jenny makes out but she doesn’t deserve to be treated this way, especially not by her own husband.“shouldn’t you go after her?” I asked Roman. His brows creased and he looked surprised by my question.“No, she’s fine” he replied with no remorse.How on earth could he be so cruel, she was clearly upset with him and rightly so. He had a beautiful wife and he was treating her like she meant not
Luna’s POVI was woken by my 6.30am alarm. I rolled over to the bedside table, grabbed my phone and noticed I didn’t have any messages or calls off Carrie. I hope she’s ok. I messaged her when I got back to my room last night and told her to enjoy her night and not to worry about me before putting my phone on silent.I’ll check up on her on my way to my meeting I thought.I dragged myself out of bed and headed straight towards the kettle, I desperately needed my morning coffee.I rummaged through my wardrobe to find an appropriate outfit for today’s meeting.When I got in last night I couldn’t think straight, my encounter with Roman was playing on my mind so I decided to go through my suitcase and hang all my clothes in the wardrobe. It didn’t really work he was on my mind all night long, it’s fair to say I didn’t get a good night sleep either.I pulled out my grey tailored trouser suit with a white camisole top, pairing it with a some black stilettoes. This will work, it screams prof
I stood outside of the hotel entrance, looking at my watch it was only 9.10am. My meeting was in a small restaurant situated 5 Minutes from the hotel, if I leave now and get there too early I may look overly eager I thought to myself.“Let me walk you to your meeting” I heard Roman’s voice as he walked up behind me. He was stood close enough for me to feel his warmth, almost touching.I didn’t turn to look at him, if anything I felt completely embarrassed about the way I spoke to him and Jenny. I can’t believe he let me speak to him that way and didn’t bother to tell me Kate was his ex-wife. He let me believe he was still married all this time.“No, my meeting isn’t for another 50 minutes. I just need some fresh air, you should go back inside” I said hoping he would walk away and save me from further embarrassment.“Then let me take you for breakfast, there’s a small café around the corner. You should eat something before your meeting”.I was about to decline his offer until he unexpe
Roman’s POVLuna’s hand combed through my hair, her touch made me crazy with lust.I couldn’t control myself around this goddess, she was something else.I remembered the conversation I had with Carrie last night after I left Luna. Carrie told me just about everything I needed to know including Luna’s recent relationship with that asshole Ethan. I wanted to find him and rip his throat out.There was nothing more I wanted in this moment, other than to see Luna lying naked on my bed while I caress her whole body with my tongue. I knew after everything she has been through, the last thing I wanted was to push her into something she didn’t want to do.I couldn’t resist bringing her to my suite, just the thought of spending the whole day and night with her makes me feel like the happiest man alive right now. I don’t know why she has me feeling this way but I can’t deny how much I enjoy it.I held her face in my hands and leaned in for another kiss. I could feel my member harden as she deep
