“Miss.”
I turned my head toward Gil’s voice, one of the servants from Arthur's house.
“Your grandfather sent me to inform you that the special dinner he mentioned a few days ago will be served in an hour.”
"Thank you, Gil,” I replied with a tight smile, "I'll take that into account."
The girl who looked younger than me, withdrew with a shy smile and closed again.
Leaving me once again, locked in the room Arthur assigned me a week ago when we arrived from Brazil.
I turned my head back to the only window in my room that looked out onto the back garden of the mansion.
The only beautiful thing about that place, since being in the industrial area of Denver, there were not many beautiful things to see.
There were no green areas beyond the garden, everything was gray, dry and dull.
Nothing to do with my island.
"Trust me"
Alex's words echoed in my mind but, should I really have trusted him?
“Why the hell is it taking so long?” I asked frustrated, rubbing my face with my hands. "He doesn't want to be seen,” replied Pierre at my side, "But you already know that...” Of course, I knew. But with this case, I couldn't keep a cool head. It had been a week since I had last seen Abigail, since I left her with her grandfather. A week without hearing from her. A week since she had been locked in that room without even letting her breathe some fresh air. So I had been having a fucking shitty week, barely sleeping like five hours top, completely worried about that girl. I knew that confinement was withering her after having had so much freedom for herself before I arrived on that island. The remorse of making her live that ordeal had made me work even harder, until I became an unbearable tyrant with my team. We had infiltrated two of our men into the house as part of the service, managing to have microphones an
How had it come to this? I looked down at the blond head resting against my shoulder and asked the same question again. How the hell had it come to this? The recognition of what was coming from now on hit me squarely with its clenched fist. I mean, I, a fully independent grown man, now had to take care of a woman I met on an island. And I didn't know how to do it. I wasn't a fucking babysitter. I was the kind of man who within 24 hours of meeting a woman had his cock buried deep in her throat. Although the last one did not count since it had been a trap of Gomez. And I had stung easily and now I paid the consequences of my stupidity. I looked back at the mass of blond hair that did not allow me to see the owner's face, and ironically, I noticed how physical the situation was. Abbie had grown too fond of me, and that wasn’t good. I didn't deal with emotional bullshit like the rest of the
Could I at least breathe? I asked myself that question while still in the tense silence of the car, between Alex and Matthew and with Pierre in the front seat. Matt's profile showed me calm, as if he was used to this kind of reaction between Alex and Pierre. What was I supposed to do now? I didn’t understand anything. Alex had been acting strange the whole trip, he had hugged me tightly against him, making me believe that he was sleeping, but it was remarkable that something was worrying him and in turn, it worried me. I tried to release my hand from his grip and that's when he finally turned to look at me. “What's going on?” He asked sharply. "My hand hurts,” I muttered uncomfortably. He immediately released me and turned back to look outside. About forty minutes later, we arrived at a big, imposing building, full of dark glass (too boring for my taste) and we entered the underground parking lot. "This
Fuck, fuck and a thousand times fuck. Could I be more stupid? How was I supposed to act in a situation like this? What should I say? "By the way Abbie, you know the woman from a while ago? The one who turned my head 90 degrees? Well, it's one of the many I loved to bend, and oh, by the way, I shoved my cock up to her throat " I took a deep breath trying to control myself, we were one block from my apartment and I didn't want to leave things this way, even more so when I had been behaving like a complete son of a bitch all day. Although I really knew that wasn’t the problem, what was really happening to me was that I felt ashamed. And how could I not? Abigail had known the worst facet of my life. I had never worried that one day my way of leading my life would explode in my face... until a few minutes ago. How would I now see her in the face? How should I deal with the fact that this woma
"I don't like this at all,” Mark said at last. “What are you talking about?” I looked at Matt, Mark's brother, and couldn't help but blush. Although I was still impressed by the beauty these brothers wore, I wasn’t referring only to physical beauty. I had discovered that Matt was surly, serious and gentle, Mark was funny and looked like a teddy bear, he was always hugging me and making me feel special. In part I felt that their affection for me was due to what had happened to me years ago, although I really hoped it wasn’t out of pity that they were treating me. In the days that I had known and treated them, both of them had reached out to me and helped me as much as they could when it came to my father's company... Well, my company. I was stunned by so many things that went into running such a large company and the worst, in an area that didn't interest me in the least. I didn't know anything about cars, or their assembly, and
It was very contradictory the way Abbie slept. The time we slept together on the island, I don't know how she managed to end up lying on my back. And the same happened on the plane to New York, she had practically slept on me. But I realized that when she slept alone, the only thing that moved was her chest when she breathed. Or at least that was the way it had been in the last half hour that I had seen her. I had left her alone as soon as she fell asleep, for uh, well... who am I going to lie to? To pull it in the bathroom and trying to make the slightest sound so as not to wake her. Hell, I had never been so aroused as I was an hour ago. Her mouth, her breasts, her nipples and those fucking sounds had made me crazy. Everything was erased from my brain as soon as I kissed her, and when she opened her mouth letting me stick my tongue in? I felt a choir of angels sing in my ear. Her flannel, mine actually, hadn'
“I want to finish my studies, Alex.” He took his eyes off the phone and looked at me surprised. “What?” "I was in the middle of my senior year in high school when I disappeared,” I explained, "I always liked studying and I want to finish. I would like to have a university degree too.” "But, Abbie.” He looked at me confused. "According to your research file, you had already finished your studies a few months before you disappeared. I thought you knew and that's why I didn't say anything... Although I have to admit that I was surprised you did it when you were just thirteen.” Now the surprised one was me. "But I continued taking classes until a week before the accident." “Some people do it, you know, to reinforce knowledge and all that stuff...” "That would explain why the subjects were so easy,” I answered thoughtfully. “If you graduated at thirteen, I honestly don't want to know what you mean by easy stuff.”
"I just found a fault when it comes to homeschooling,” Abbie murmured next to me. "I don't feel comfortable around so many people." I looked at her, feeling some remorse at exposing her to this treatment so soon. "I'm sorry, Abbie,” I murmured close to her, "It was somewhat impulsive to organize this so soon, maybe I should have waited a bit to prepare better...” She laughed a little louder than she should, and surprising me even more, she took my face in her hands and kissed me for a few seconds. I was stunned by her public display. “Did I do good or bad to kiss you?” she asked against my ear. There I realized. The woman was acting with total daring. "Feel comfortable to kiss me whenever and wherever you want, precious,” I whispered back. Someone cleared their throat causing us to separate immediately, as if we had been doing something horrible instead of a simple kiss. Damn, the entire room was silent
