“Stef, don’t forget about this weekend’s party.”
“Mm. Actually, I wanted to talk to you about that. This weekend is an important annual event, and I really want to take you with me.”
“What annual event?” I ask, tilting my head.
He pulls me onto his lap. “A fun one,” he grins.
“I need to know more than that.” I laugh, brushing my hand over his chest.
“I am not telling you more than that. You are just going to have to trust me.”
“Leanna will be so upset if I am not at her party.”
“Leanna is going to be so busy with the jumping castles and her friends that I am sure she will get over it. Besides, we can take her somewhere special during the week, you can still celebrate with her.”
“Alright, fine, I will agree to your mysterious once-a-year event that you are apparently not going to tell me anything about.”
“Good. Pack for outdoors—overnight.”
“What?” My eyes shoot open. “Where are we going outdoors overnight?”
“That is all I am saying.”
The grin on his face is mischievous and enticing. I grab his face in my hands and kiss him hard. It catches him off guard, but within seconds, he is responding to me.
“I think it was about time for a break, anyway,” he laughs, shifting his position so that my legs are wrapped around him.
He starts kissing me and grabbing my hips to rub me up against his cock, which is growing harder by the second.
Chapter 19 - Stefano
Every year I book out an entire camp site to let my employees unwind, relax and have some fun. It is beautiful place that sits on the edge of a forest, with a massive river running around it. I arrange different events for entertainment, and this year I have organized laser tag as the main game we are going to play.
Apart from tag we are also going to be doing some team challenges, like rock climbing and raft building.
The whole point is to get everyone out here, in nature, and having a laugh.
I am pretty excited that Darya is coming with me, because in a way, this is my family—these are the people that I spend my time with, and I want her to be a part of my life as much as I am a part of her family.
We pull up to our camping spot amongst the other tents which have already been set up for us.
Darya scrunches her nose, but she is smiling.
“Camping?” she says skeptically.
“One of my favorite ways to relax,” I shrug, really hoping that she is the kind of girl who will enjoy this.
“I haven’t been camping since high school. This is going to be amazing. I am so glad you brought me along.” She hops out of the car, excited to take a look around.
I climb out and follow her. The people I work with come over to greet me and Darya moves closer to me. She leans towards me and whispers, “Do you know everyone at this campsite?”
“Yes, these are all of the people I work with. You’ve already met some of them, you’ll meet the rest over the course of the weekend. I booked out the entire place for us.”
She looks a little nervous at first. I can see she is not entirely in her comfort zone here, but that doesn’t stop her from diving in and having an incredible time right from the start.
The bonfire is lit a few hours before sunset, and we are all sitting around it, relaxing, having a drink and chatting. Darya is mingling with everyone, getting to know them all, and it looks as though they are loving her.
I sip on my whiskey, watching her, how she smiles and laughs and makes everyone around her feel comfortable, regardless of whether they are floor staff or high ranking managers. She has a beautiful way with people, and it is one of the things I really admire about her.
