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.
