It was just lunch. A lunch that consisted off a Greek sd 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 waspletely wrong with me and | had no idea how to fix myself again. ever since that stupid illicit and explicit
dream that | had the very afternoon we had arrived at this house | could not think straight especially when Dante was in my
presence.
that dream had set of something in me that | had no idea nor even the inkling of how to shut it back off. all | could think about had
been the details of the dream and how unbelievably real it had felt. it was almost as if whatever | 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 | had called out his name in my
sleep. once | had myself awake and propt myself onto my elbows to get a clear view of him | saw his momentary confusion
slowly vanish as he began to understand just exactly why | 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 ce in my subconscious.
the only way that | had felt that | could recover with my dignity intact was to be rate the man for entering into my room without
knocking but that n had proved to be useless when Dante exin to the tea had onlye 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.
| 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 | had intended when | first got here. sometimes | was sessful in my
quest to get away from him but other times | was not for example times where Haley insisted that | joined them on whatever
activity they had nned out and I had no choice but to agree.
as much as | had wanted to avoid Dante | also wanted to create memories with Haley. however the times that | did join them had
only reminded me why I had avoided it. it would be the most instant idental 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.
| reminded myself that | had to stay strong and that | 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 | 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 | 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 I*ps and removing it. It was simple, it was innocent, it had no
reason to make me shift in my seat ufortably.
| wanted his tongue on me, his teeth sinking in to my skin, and his I*ps eagerly demanding of mine until | forgot all the reasons
why | 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 | had no change to look away and he had
caught me. Worse yet, he had read my thoughts in my eyes like | 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 | was sure that he
was now doing this on purpose. Dante knew the agony | was in since the first day we had gotten here and he was using it to
torment me even further.
| tore my gaze away from me feeling my cheeks heat up until | felt like | was going tobust. | fanned myself with my hand but
it did little to aid the heat that swirled within me.
“It''s rather hot today.” | reached for my ss 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.
“| think it’s alright, too.” Hayley chimed in before she absentmindedly nibbled on a piece of cucumber.
“| 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
cing the fork in to his mouth and slowly pulling it out cleanly.This content ? 2024 N?velDrama.Org.
| groaned and looked at Hayley, “I am fine. Maybe a little dehydrated.” | shrugged reaching to refill my ss.
“Would exin the thirst. He added smugly and | red at him hating that he was making the most out of my difort at my
expense.
Dante knew exactly what he was doing and all this time | 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 | was wrong. He was an equal culprit to this
crime.
| red at him only to have met his piercing, daring gaze and | 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 cuiser on.”
Dante suggested but | already knew that the man had made reservations and had it all nned out.
“| would love to look around.” Hayley agreed already thrilled about the ns. “Do you think we can get nanny Nancy some thing
like a little gift from here?” She asked me and | 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 hade 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 rmended by the agency and she has proven herself greatly.” |
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,
“| didn’t need to. The agency provided every thing | needed to know including criminal records amongst other clearances.” |
smiled tightly at him.
“| see.” Was his t response which caused me to scoff..
“Did you think that | would be so ipetent?” | questioned in a jovial tone not to tense out the situation for Hayley.
“No, | was only making sure. Another t response.
“You do not have to worry. Especially when ites to Hayley.” Hayley looked at me at the mention of her name and | 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 | 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, | 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 toe out with things got herself.
‘| think we need to get some thing for Nancy soon before we run out of shops to check in.” | threw Hayley a look that silently said
| 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 bava that was packaged in the
most adorable gifting box and a good ribbon ced on the side.
“What is this, mama? Hayley pointed at some thing on the shelf and | 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.” | reached for it to get a closer look.

“| think if he took this along with a box of those bavas back for Nancy, she would be happy.” | 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 | 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 | 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.
“| don’t know. | 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.” | 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.
| pressed the button on the side of the gate before it vibrated open and | entered the air- conditioned store that shines brightly
with the twinkle of diamonds shing as the light had hit it at the perfect angle.
“Wee, Ma’am. How can | help you?” A young dark haireddy smiled at me professionally eager to assist.
“I''m just going to look around.” | said gently and she nodded giving me the space to do so.
| looked around each ss guarded case and saw pieces that were stunning and ones that | would have actually loved to own
but none of it had me hooked like the white gold and diamond tennis bracelet that had caught my attention. It was dainty
diamonds set precisely in ce against the white gold and caught the light perfectly glistening as it twinkled.
However, the price of it had been too steep when | had queried it and | couldn’t justify spending that much on a bracelet
regardless of how stunning it had been. | left the store feeling a little sad about it but not enough to let it affect my mood.
| found Dante and Hayley at the next store at which point Hayley expressed that she was tired and we decided to head back to
where the car had parked.
