On Saturday morning, Dimitri arrived on time, and we were immediately on the road. We drove for at least three hours before arriving at the port where we could board a boat. We waited for the barge to leave the port for a few minutes after paying for our fare, which included his service vehicle.
“You should have told me that the beach is about five hours away from the city,” I told him. We’ve been on the road since four in the morning, and yet, the destination remained far. I should have taken Lance offer to join him on his island.
“If you’re aware of our destination, will you still come with me?” Dimitri asked.
“No,” I replied.
“And that’s the reason why I didn’t tell you,” he said while smiling.
“Whatever,” I told him while rolling my eyes. Then, I looked outside the window of his car, and I was amazed at the magnificent view of plantations and trees. For the time being, I refused to talk with Dimitri and focused on admiring Mother Nature.
When we arrived at our destination, I was bone tired and hungry. I needed food to fill me in, and I needed some rest to recuperate. It was supposed to be a vacation, but I ended up getting tired during the travel, and the truth is told, I wished I didn’t agree to it. Maybe, I was just at home, being lazy and being served.
Dimitri reserved two beach villas for us. I loved the fact that the villas were only a few meters from the beach. He informed me that we would be eating lunch at the restaurant at 11:00 a. m. after settling in our room. I loved the place, or should I say that I liked the entire resort.
White sand.
Crystal blue waters.
Happy guests.
Accommodating staff!
And most of all, the weather was fine! A little hot but not enough to stop the tourist from enjoying the beach. Dimitri and I agreed that we would lunch first before doing anything in the resort. Of course, how could I refuse when it was what I needed the most?
On my way to the restaurant, I walked behind my boss when I came to a halt because I thought I recognized someone. I turned around to see if my eyes were playing tricks on me, and there he was, standing about a meter away from me!
“Dimitri, please go ahead; I forgot something in my room.” I lied, but only after he nodded did I walk away. I waited until Dimitri entered the restaurant before I glared at Lance Salcedo. I gave him a cold stare, accusing him of stalking me!
Lance smiled at me and said, “Fancy meeting you here, Alexa!”
“Is this really a coincidence, or you’re stalking me?” I accused him, and he just smirked.
“Was he your boyfriend?” He inquired instead of responding to my question.
“He’s my boss,” I answered.
“Are you dating him?”
“So what if I’m dating him?” I replied with a question, and Lance glowered his eyes at me.
“How about that night when you voluntarily surrendered yourself to me? Was it completely meaningless to you?”
“Mind your own business, please,” I said before leaving him alone.
“Alexa, please!”
“Lance, please stop this! You’re becoming creepy, do you know that?” I didn’t want to insult him or hurt his feelings, but he pushed me beyond my limit! His stalking activity wasn’t cute at all, and it was scary! When I arrived at the restaurant, our lunch was already being served, and I smiled at Dimitri before sitting down.
“Finally, you’re here!” Dimitri said.
“Did I keep you waiting?”
He answered, “Of course not.”
“Hmmm, Dimitri, I think I’m going to have to ask you for a favour later,” I informed him ahead of time.
“What are you talking about?”
“Later,” I said as I started to load my plate with food. He nodded, and for the time being, we were preoccupied with the delectable food that Anika had prepared, and I had temporarily forgotten about Lance.
“So, what exactly is it?” Dimitri inquired as we viewed the beachgoers having fun playing volleyball and other games. The sun was scorching hot, but some of the tourists ignored it!
Before I dared to open my mouth and make an unusual request, I bit my lower lip and took a deep breath. “Could you play the role of my boyfriend for a while? We’re only here for the time being,” I explained, and Dimitri burst out laughing. “What is it that is so amusing about it?” I was irritated by his reaction.
“I was about to suggest the same thing,” he replied.
Instead of being pleased that it was easier to convince him, I became suspicious. What’s wrong with me? I narrowed my eyes at him and asked, “Why?”
“I need to make someone jealous,” he announced.
I made a deal with Dimitri, but the prospect of being intimate with him was terrifying. Even though my boss has a great physique, the thought of kissing each other made me gag, and to be honest, and I wasn’t physically attracted to him.
“Shall we seal it with a kiss?” he inquired, and I stared at him for a moment, undecided.
While shifting my attention to the beachgoers playing volleyball on the beach, I let out a deep sigh. “Shall we?” I asked, turning around to face him once more.
I moved my head towards him and captured his mouth before he could react to my response. It was supposed to be a quick kiss, but Dimitri grabbed my arm and pulled me closer. I couldn’t say anything when he let me go because my eyes were wide with surprise at what he had done. I couldn’t say anything!
“Please accept my apologies; I got a little carried away.” He expressed regret and expressed his regret.
“I understand, but we shouldn’t do it again.” I had no idea he could kiss so well; of course, it was our first time, but it made me feel uneasy around him. What was supposed to be a friendly kiss turned into something erotic, so I decided to avoid it altogether?
“Why not?”
“I don’t feel like doing it with you.” As I confessed the truth, I bit my lower lip. Dimitri’s crisp laughter drew the attention of a few beachgoers, who locked their gaze on us. I was embarrassed by the unexpected attention and decided to leave the lounge and go back to my room.
“Am I a lousy lover?” As he questioned me about his abilities as a lover, he chuckled.
I smirked as I shrugged off my shoulder. “It never occurred to me! Wait, what makes you think I’m thinking about you like this?” But when I looked at him, I noticed something unusual about his expression, and I cringed in my seat. I could feel his gazes were a little more intense than before, and I could feel it down to my bones, but instead of butterflies in my stomach, I was disgusted!
“Perhaps you should start now,” he suggested, and without warning, he snatched me up and suffocated me in a tight embrace. I had a hard time wriggling my body away from him because it was so tight. Dimitri’s actions astounded me, but Lance’s sudden appearance astounded me even more, and he yanked me away from my boss.
I shouted at him, “Hey!”
Dimitri’s jaw was clenched as he enquired about the man who had yanked me away from him. “Who is this bastard?”
Lance responded to Dimitri’s question, “I am her boyfriend,” and I glared at him for interfering with my life.
“Are you stupid?” I shouted at Lance Salcedo.
“Because of you, I’m always losing my mind!” I was taken aback when Lance yelled back at me. “Dude, please back off. She’s mine,” he declared before holding onto my arms tightly.
“Let me go!” I snapped at Lance, but he was too stubborn to give a fuck! How dare he to claim me as his property?
Dimitri smirked and refused to back down in the face of Lance’s assertion. Dimitri said, “You must be that guy who betrayed her in the past,” and I wasn’t expecting him to use that information to get back at Lance.
To not attract more attention, I asked Dimitri to let me have a conversation with Lance Salcedo. After he agreed, I took Lance into the villa where I was staying. Initially, I planned to talk with him at the terrace, but some of the guests at neighbouring villas suddenly came out, and I didn’t want to cause more trouble.
As a result of my concerns towards him, I brought him inside my accommodation. “Don’t you dare think that I am interested in you,” I warned him?
“Let’s go back home,” Lance decided, and I was aghast at his announcement.
“You should know, I just got here!”
He assured her, “I’ll take you somewhere else.”
“Are you dense or just plain stupid? I don’t want to be associated with you any longer!” I screamed at him, but all he did was stare at me. I assumed he’d catch on, but he was assisting me with packing the next thing I knew. I told him that I didn’t want to leave for the nth time, but he was deafeningly stubborn!
“You don’t have the right to do this! Who do you think you are?” I scolded him while trying to get my things back from him. “Please leave me alone!”
“And I said, we’re getting out of here!'” He wouldn’t give up.
I sat down on the bed, frustrated, and stared at him. “Can you tell me why you’re torturing me? We just happened to meet again, but it doesn’t give you the right to act as if you are my damn fucking husband!”
“I’ll be your husband soon, and to tell you frankly, I don’t like to share,” he stated.
“Oh, my God, you’re crazy!” I despised how he had been treating me recently as if I were one of his prized possessions. I had been fine for quite some time when he appeared out of nowhere and caused a ruckus! Worse yet, I freely participated in it! “If this is still about the hotel one-night stand, Lance, put it out of your mind because it was just sex and meant nothing to me.” I tried to keep my cool, but his piercing stare made it more difficult.
He stated flatly, “I don’t believe you.”
I smirked at him and turned away to face the wall, but he sat next to me and took one of my hands in his. “Leave,” I ordered.
“Please accept my apologies if I came across as being overbearing and unyielding. I don’t want to lose you again,” he said, and before I could respond with my own declaration, his mouth had already engulfed mine.
I despised myself for falling prey to his seduction!
As he began to assault my senses with his tongue, my arms and knees became weak. I knew I should have stopped him, but I didn’t! I was perplexed about what was wrong with me after succumbing to his seduction and kissing him back. I reminded myself in the back of my mind that this was the last time I would be able to fulfil my desire.
“We have to stop now or else…” he warned, and I agreed with a nod.
We stared at each other for a few moments, and no one dared to speak up first. Because of the excitement of his kiss, my chest heaved up and down, and it took me longer than necessary to calm down my nerves. When he suggested stopping because I didn’t trust myself to do it, I expressed my gratitude by saying, “Thank you.”
“Damn you!” He cursed loudly, and he grabbed my mouth once more, this time with a sense of urgency.
I, like Lance, felt compelled to kiss him once more, and before we knew it, we were both undressing. When I let him do whatever he wants, there’s no more hesitation on my part. For the second time, I let myself be carried away by his kisses.
Fortunately, we were able to stop before something happened again! To admit, it took so much of our courage to stop when our body was burning with desire. When Lance insisted on taking me away, Dimitri couldn’t stop Lance from doing so. All he could do was clenched his teeth when he saw us leaving.
“Thank you for coming with me, Alexa.”
“I have no choice, remember that.”
