Opening her eyes she had returned to the present. She moved from the balcony and made her way to the pool where he sat waiting for her, no longer the sweet gentle lover who had turned her into a woman, but now someone else, someone cold and full of an anger she couldn’t understand. Someone who seemed determined to humiliate her despite the fact that she had never done anything to hurt him. Nothing she thought but care for him too much.


Craig had watched her walking towards him across the lawn enjoying the way her body moved. She was naturally graceful and her hips moved sensually. His plan had been simple. He would bring her here for the remaining duration of her trip to Las Vegas and he would use her body to fulfil his every sexual desire before throwing her aside. In short he would use her the way she had used him three years ago.


Having thought he was over her, he had been shocked at his reaction to seeing her in the Superior foyer and realised that he still felt something for this woman who had so cruelly nearly destroyed him. From the few moments he had spent in her hotel room he had known that his body still ached for her and he planned to satisfy that need once and for all while extracting his revenge upon her. He would enjoy her with no thought to her needs. He remembered how she had said she wouldn’t be his whore, but that was exactly what he planned on making her. With a cruel twist of his mouth he thought then that after this week she would be no more than a dirty memory for him to look back on, finally he would be rid of Kira Black. Frowning slightly he remembered the kiss in his office. It had been meant to show her that he now controlled her body, but her reaction had been unexpected. It had been familiar and he had found himself making love to her in the way he had before, his body wanting to satisfy her as it had done all those years ago. He told himself that she had caught him off guard determined that it wouldn’t happen again.


As she took one of the seats opposite him he wondered again who she had phoned. Her face seemed more relaxed and there was a softness in her eyes that had not been there before. He had noticed the moment she opened the door to her room back at the hotel that she wore no wedding ring, however, that didn’t mean that she didn’t have a boyfriend or two back home he thought thinking how easily those beautiful lips could lie.


She lifted her glass to sip some of the refreshing lemonade her glass clinking in her hand, and he watched her look at him from beneath her half closed eyes – those beautiful eyes the colour of which he had never seen since.


“So what now Craig” she asked softly her voice still a little shaky


“Should we let the beatings begin?”


His lips twitched a little.


“I don’t think there will be any need for beatings” he smiled “At least not yet…”


“Then what happens now”


He looked at her with an almost bored expression on his face


“As much as I appreciate your keenness, it’s like I said Kira you are to be at my beck and call. When I actually want you I’ll call you”


She sat back looking away from him at the wonderful lush scenery but not before he had caught the look of confusion on her face, which made him smile with satisfaction. They sat there in silence for half an hour each lost in their own thoughts. It was only the sound of a helicopter flying over the villa which finally broke the tension between them.


Craig jumped to his feet a small frown on his face


“Wait here” he ordered her before walking towards an area in the garden which was hidden from view. 10 minutes later he returned with another man. Like Craig he was tall athletic and good looking. However, he was blonde with smiling intelligent eyes. When he saw her sitting he had looked at Craig with a surprised look on his face. Craig ignored his friends searching expression introduced him to Kira who had risen to her feet as they had approached.


“Tom Bradley this is Kira”


He had flashed her a welcome smile and extended his hand to shake her own


“Well how did this guy get a beautiful girl like you to come to this god forsaken island when there is a much better one just a short flight away?”


She had smiled back, but still smarting from Craig’s last comment answered airily


“He blackmailed me to be his sex toy for the week”


She caught the hard look which entered Craig’s eyes, as Tom chuckled back at her


“Ah now that would explain it…..Kira… an unusual name”


“Kira Black” she finished for him


She watched as some memory came back to him and saw the surprised questioning look he threw at Craig.


“Kira why don’t you go back to the house and unpack” Craig said, his voice low and cold.


She smiled at Tom


“My master commands” she quipped before moving back to the house as directed.


When she was out of hearing distance Tom rounded on Craig


“What the hell do you think you are doing” he asked


“Don’t you remember last time?”


Craig sat back down


“Leave it Tom; I know what I am doing”


“No I don’t think you do”


His friend had responded “Damn it Craig she’ll do it to you again”


“No, not this time” his friend had said a cold glint in his eye.” It’s all under control”


Tom closed his mouth knowing when he was wasting his time. After a few seconds in a softer voice changing the subject he continued


“I hear you closed the deal on the Superior”


Craig nodded “We’re starting to remodel next week”


Tom nodded, “have you chosen your contractors”


He saw the hesitant look on Craig’s face


“The firm Kira works for are doing the interior design”


Tom looked over at him in complete disbelief “She’s working for you” he asked his tone incredulous


“Actually they had the contract before I even knew that she was involved” he replied.


Tom sat back in the chair just starring at Craig


“Be careful” he said his tone soft and concerned


Craig laughed “Yes mummy” making Tom laugh back


“Should I stay for dinner or do you two want to be alone”


“As if I wouldn’t feed you” Craig laughed “You’d never forgive me”


As they got back into the house Craig asked Tom to pour them all a drink while he fetched Kira from her room, telling him her favourite drink as he remembered it from all those years ago.


When he entered the room she was sitting on the bed her head bowed and her hands clasped in front of her. On seeing him she leapt up noting the angry glint in his eye and the tightness of his mouth


“What the hell was that with Tom” he snarled at her


“What’s wrong Craig” she cried back “Truth hurt”


He crossed the room quickly grabbing her shoulders and glaring down at her, his expression black with rage


“What the hell would you know about the truth?”


A flicker of fear crossed her eyes as she looked back up at him


“What does that mean….I’ve never lied to you” She whispered


He looked down on her incredulously


“They just fall from those lovely lips of yours don’t they?”


He bit back noting the look of confusion which had crossed her face. He looked down at her lips so full and soft a lustful look entering his eyes. Catching the look she pulled herself from his arms retreating into the corner like a wounded animal looking small and helpless.


“I can’t do this Craig” she whispered “I thought I could but I can’t. Please just let me go”


She stood there so vulnerable and frightened her arms hugging herself protectively watching him with eyes full of fear and confusion. If she had hoped for some kind of salvation from him then it was quickly dashed as he had moved forward pulling her roughly against him.


“Yes you can Kira” he said huskily “and you will”


With that he lowered his head to her mouth and kissed those wonderful lips. It was a soft kiss which sent shudders down to the very centre of her being. She kissed him back her determination to remain still in his arms while he did what he wanted to her body crumbling with the sensations running through her. She found herself leaning in closer to him feeling the hardness of his arousal against her as her arms moved around his neck. With a shaky laugh he pulled her from him the desire in his eye still evident as was hers.


“See” he said his voice triumphant “You can do anything”


Stepping away from her he suddenly felt the need to put as much distance between them as possible before he forgot that his friend was waiting downstairs for them and threw her onto the bed right there and then


“Tom is joining us for dinner. He thinks that you are here to finalise plans for the hotel. Kira for Bills sake play along”


She looked at him, her body still trembling from the need he had ignited in her, before nodding her head in submission. Once again she felt self loathing at the way she had been unable to resist his touch, had allowed him to ignite such a hungry response from her. She had cringed at the way he had triumphed over her seeing how he was able to control her body to do as he wished.
