He smiles and runs his fingers against my cheek. “No. We have a lot of time for everything. I’m more interested in pleasing you.”

“It felt amazing,” I tell him honestly. “And yes, I want to go out for dinner with you.”

Text Messages

Hudson

I finish the rest of my beer as I sit on the edge of the sunbed. Parker is below, having a shower before we go out for dinner.

The look on her face as she came was unforgettable. I enjoyed watching her go over the edge. And the fact that no one had touched her or fucked her for that matter makes me so fucking hard.

When I first laid eyes on her, I knew that she was going to be worth the trouble. Then again everything I plan is just temporary. I do whatever it takes to get my thrill, even if it is just a brief thrill.

This is almost too easy,I thought.

I hold her phone in my hand and watch as it flashes with five new messages. Tilting my head to the side, I pull down the notification bar because I can’t exactly go into the text messages without being caught red-handed by Parker and right now, I won’t risk doing such a ridiculous thing.

But anger flares through me when I see Ryan’s name with several messages to Parker. Unable to resist the temptation, I swipe my phone screen open and I’m surprised to find it unguarded with a pin.

I go into Ryan’s chat and see that fuck’s hateful messages towards Parker.

I hope you know what a slut you are —R

Who the fuck do you think you are, Parker? I mean we’re all not fucking perfect—R

I delete the new messages immediately and clear her screen, before switching her phone off and leaving it back on the table next to me. I delete the messages because Parker won’t know any different anyway. From the hostility in the chat, clearly, things aren’t okay.

My temples throb with rage and I feel like doing something crazy right at that moment. I want to break every bone in Ryan’s body. The kind of anger that rushes through me is something that I knew I had in me for a long time.

My hands begin to shake and my breathing becomes uneven, so I stand up and walk over to the front of the yacht. I can’t remember when last I’d felt so much anger. It’s another kind of darkness that doesn’t need to be free, but I can’t stop the fury that grows within me. Burning like a raging fire just waiting to break free.

But what bothers me more is the fact that Parker is talking to Ryan and even though his previous messages are just left read, why is he still on her phone? Ryan is a problem. A big fucking problem and I need to get him out of the way.

“Hey.” Parker slips her silky arms around me and I turn around to find her in a sexy grey t-shirt that hugs her every curve, with a pair of dark jeans on.

“You ready?” I ask, kissing her temple and she nods as we left the Cassiopeia.

With my anger gone, I push thoughts of Ryan to the back of my head for a later time. I’d have to deal with him some other time.

Elevator Rides

Parker

When Hudson suggested dinner, I thought of pizza at a small restaurant, so I am a little surprised when he takes me back to his apartment.

And when I say apartment, I mean the luxurious Saylor Towers hotel. It stands high with its dark, tinted glass and cast iron structure. The name Saylor Towers stands out in wrought iron at the top of the building, with the silver spire at the top adding an elegant final touch.

As we get out of the car, a valet quickly rushes over to Hudson’s side and waits patiently before he hands him the keys.

“Do you want the car parked underground, Sir?” the valet asks and Hudson nods before turning back to me.

He holds out his hand and I take it as we enter the building through the revolving doors.

“I wanted to take you out, but I wasn’t feeling it. Is this okay with you?” he asks when we step into the quiet foyer.
