Chapter 58
It was just lunch. A lunch that consisted off a Greek salad along with a bowl of
marinated olives, feta, and olive oil. it had been a large side to the main course
but the food was the least of my concern at the moment.
Some thing was completely wrong with me and I had no idea how to fix myself
again. ever since that stupid illicit and explicit dream that I had the very afternoon
we had arrived at this house I could not think straight especially when Dante was
in my presence.
that dream had set of something in me that I had no idea nor even the inkling of
how to shut it back off. all I could think about had been the details of the dream
and how unbelievably real it had felt. it was almost as if whatever I was dreaming
was actually happening in some alternate universe.
it certainly didn't help things that Dante happen to my walk into the room the very
second that I had called out his name in my sleep. once I had myself awake and
propt myself onto my elbows to get a clear view of him I saw his momentary
confusion slowly vanish as he began to understand just exactly why I had said
his name in such a way.
It also didn’t help matters that my n*pples were fully erect from the rush coursing
through my b*dy which had immediately drawn Dante's attention, my cheeks had
heated up in embarrassment even though it was all a dream but it was the fact
that Dante was aware that he had been involved in the sensual activities that are
taking place in my subconscious.
the only way that I had felt that I could recover with my dignity intact was to be
rate the man for entering into my room without knocking but that plan had proved
to be useless when Dante explain to the tea had only come to call me for lunch.
not only did that make me look like a fool but it also painted me as the bad one
for shouting the man when he had only called me to get some food in my system.
I tried my best for the next few days to go about my day without making any
unnecessary contact with Dante. that included making use of the gym or tackling
the jet skis just as I had intended when I first got here. sometimes I was
successful in my quest to get away from him but other times I was not for
example times where Haley insisted that I joined them on whatever activity they
had planned out and I had no choice but to agree.
as much as I had wanted to avoid Dante I also wanted to create memories with
Haley. however the times that I did join them had only reminded me why I had
avoided it. it would be the most instant accidental brush of skin against Dante's
from when he was handing me the tennis racket or when he would pass the
bottle of water to me to take a sip and quench my thirst beneath the warm sun
that hung above that would trigger my carnal desire in a way that it was never
ever saw easily invoked before.
I reminded myself that I had to stay strong and that I could not give in to Dante
and the natural allure of his charm but with each passing day it was proving to be
absolute and insane torture. especially after this morning when Haley and I had
taken a walk upon the waters Edge while Dante had decided to go for a swim
only for him to emerge from the water glistening and dripping wet just as I had
recalled him being in my dream.
It all had built up to this moment right here and right now unfolding in front of me.
Dante had popped an olive in to his mouth and his tongue moved it about as his
teeth bite through the flesh

of it cleaning it off the seed before popping the seed between his [*ps and
removing it. It was simple, it was innocent, it had no reason to make me shift in
my seat uncomfortably.
I wanted his tongue on me, his teeth sinking in to my skin, and his I*ps eagerly
demanding of mine until I forgot all the reasons why I was holding myself back.
The sun had caught his skin just enough to give him a golden tan that made him
look many times more attractive. His let his stubble grow which gave him a
serious, dark look. All things that did not help my cause.
As if he had sensed my gaze on him, Dante looked up from his food fast enough
that I had no change to look away and he had caught me. Worse yet, he had
read my thoughts in my eyes like I was an open book leaving no secrets to my
own self.
His gaze had darkened instantly right before he popped another olive in to his
mouth and this time, this time I was sure that he was now doing this on purpose.
Dante knew the agony I was in since the first day we had gotten here and he was
using it to torment me even further.
I tore my gaze away from me feeling my cheeks heat up until I felt like I was
going to combust. I fanned myself with my hand but it did little to aid the heat that
swirled within me.
“It's rather hot today.” I reached for my glass of ice water and gulped it down.
“Not at all. It's not different than any of the other days that we were here.” Dante
responded with a sly hint to his voice.
“I think it's alright, too.” Hayley chimed in before she absentmindedly nibbled on a
piece of cucumber.
“I think it's just you who feels hot.” Dante spoke as he loaded a meaty biteful on
to his fork. “and bothered.” He added before placing the fork in to his mouth and
slowly pulling it out cleanly.
I groaned and looked at Hayley, “I am fine. Maybe a little dehydrated.” I shrugged
reaching to refill my glass.
“Would explain the thirst. He added smugly and I glared at him hating that he
was making the most out of my discomfort at my expense.
Dante knew exactly what he was doing and all this time I thought that it was all
me, that it was me who had been turning every innocent thing he did in to
something worthy of triggering my lust and desire but I was wrong. He was an
equal culprit to this crime.
I glared at him only to have met his piercing, daring gaze and I immediately
looked away not able to withstand meeting his eyes with every thing going on
within me at the moment.
“We should head out to see more of the city this afternoon. Take advantage of
the weather and enjoy some cuisine later on.” Dante suggested but I already
knew that the man had made reservations and had it all planned out.
“I would love to look around.” Hayley agreed already thrilled about the plans. “Do
you think we can get nanny Nancy some thing like a little gift from here?” She
asked me and I nodded.
“Sure. It would be a nice gesture.” Hayley was satisfied with my response and
she went back to
Chapter 38
eating her food.
“How long has Nancy worked for you?” The question had me snapping my head
to the direction it had come from just from the tone in which it had been asked..
It sounded doubtful of my expertise and capabilities to seek out care for Hayley. It
was judgement with a hint of “i could have done it better.
“Every since Hayley was over a year old. Nancy came highly recommended by
the agency and she has proven herself greatly.” I jutted my chin out defiantly
making sure that he knew not to trample
with me.
“Did you carry out any additional checks on her before hiring her?” There it was.
The bite to my capability,
“I didn’t need to. The agency provided every thing I needed to know including
criminal records amongst other clearances.” I smiled tightly at him.
“I see.” Was his flat response which caused me to scoff..
“Did you think that I would be so incompetent?” I questioned in a jovial tone not
to tense out the situation for Hayley.
“No, I was only making sure. Another flat response.
“You do not have to worry. Especially when it comes to Hayley.” Hayley looked at
me at the mention of her name and I smiled at her before making a funny face
that made her giggle and
show me one of her own.
After we had eaten, it had taken up a few minutes to sl*p on shoes and apply
some spf for Hayley and I before we left to roam the city. Dante had taken, off
and ventured into many stores situation on the side of it. Hayley was quite the
shopper which to a pebbled street where we had gotten surprised me and Dante
never told her no for anything.
She found souvenirs and paint sets that she could paint various scenery that
would remind her of her visit here. Dante carried all of her shopping bags and it
was evident that she had him wrapped around her finger.
“Ooh, I feel like we'd find some thing for Nancy here. Hayley said her famous like
which she used before entering each store only for her to come out with things
got herself.
“I think we need to get some thing for Nancy soon before we run out of shops to
check in.” I threw Hayley a look that silently said I knew what she was doing but
she smiled sheepishly.
The store we entered was a quaint and held mostly kitchen souvenirs but also
locally made baklava that was packaged in the most adorable gifting box and a
good ribbon placed on the side.
“What is this, mama? Hayley pointed at some thing on the shelf and I looked to
see that it was a hand painted lemon juicer.
“That's a juicer. You can squeeze orange juice or even lemon juice with it.” I
reached for it to get a closer look.

“I think if he took this along with a box of those baklavas back for Nancy, she
would be happy.” I suggested and Hayley agreed.
With Nancy taken care of, Hayley couldn't use her line before entering the next
store and she had to admit that she wanted to go in for herself. Dante and I
chuckled since we knew this all along.
However, when the next store had been a jewelry one, Hayley wasn't too interest
and walked past but I had wanted to check it out.
“Hold up, Hayley.” Dante stopped her. “Why don’t you want to check this store
out?” He asked and Hayley scrunched her nose expressing her disinterest.
“I don’t know. I just want to go to the one after.” We looked to where she had
pointed and it had been a brightly coloured store that caught her attention.
“You guys go ahead. I'm going to explore this one.” I said to Dante and Hayley
but Dante hesitated looking like he wanted to see the jewelry himself but he
agreed and walked ahead with Hayley.
