Once Spencer had vanished with Laura, I took her to the hotel restaurant, and we had some of the most amazing pasta I’d ever tasted. An hour later, I had a text from Spencer that nearly made me drop my phone.
Brother, I have reached the limit of existing with blue balls. My nanny is going to get it tonight. Take Maja somewhere for the day while I fuck her ten ways till Sunday.
“Uncle Rupert, are you okay?” Maja asked me when my drink was dripping down my chin as I reread that text several times. I smiled from ear to ear.I had fucking won!
My bastard brother was so fucking lucky, and for a second I envied him because the woman of my dreams was out there sailing with some random Italians. Still, I had something to live for—I texted my dad to cash in on the bet.Right.
“I’m good. Are you ready to go? I’m going to take you to a splash park,” I said to Maja, hoping Spencer wasn’t going to fuck this up for once.
Maja had already lost one parent and couldn’t afford to lose another one—even the pretend nanny she treated like a mum already.
“What the hell? Give that back,” I snapped when Laura snatched my phone off me while we were getting ready to have dinner.
I’d finally managed to talk to Veronica. Apparently, they were sailing near Palermo, so we’d been texting non-stop. I couldn’t fucking wait to finally see her.
“We’re about to have dinner, and from now on, no electronic devices at the table,” Spencer declared, pissing me off.They are treating me like a damn kid.
I was ready to get up and snatch the phone back from Laura. I’d been waiting for too fucking long to chat to my woman, and now her roommate had confiscated my device.
“Spencer is right. We should be having a conversation with each other during our meals. We’re in Sicily and the food is so fresh. You’ll enjoy it more if you’re conscious of what you’re putting into your mouth.” Laura smiled.
I decided to take a deep breath because I was inches from losing my temper. I’d been teasing Laura about shagging Spencer since I’d caught her sneaking out of his bedroom one night, to the point when her face would go all red and she kept avoiding me, which was hilarious. Spencer had lasted two fucking weeks, which was longer than I thought he would. Once I disappeared tonight, no one would ask any questions. Those two were too busy with each other to notice me sneaking around.
“Don’t go all mummy on me, Laura,” I grumbled.
“She’s not, but she’s right. We are having a meal as a family.” Spencer gave me a stern look.
My brother was officially pussy-whipped by his own nanny. I had never seen him this happy before and I was glad he was finally able to relax.
Several days after our heated discussion about electronics at the dinner table, Veronica had just sailed to Palermo. After Spencer and Laura came back from their quick fuck (I mean, walk down the beach), I said my goodbyes and left them to it. I managed to rent a car and drove straight to the port of Palermo where Veronica’s yacht was docked. She’d mentioned that her friend, Jess, had lost her mind for the Italian guy with the yacht and wasn’t planning to come back to London at all.
My palms were damp with sweat, and my shirt stuck to my body as I waited for her, counting the days since we’d been apart. This heat had started to feel overbearing, even though I should have gotten used to it by now because I’d spent every summer here since I’d fought off cancer.
I parked the car as close as I could by the marina then fired her a quick text.
My heart pounded. It had been so fucking long since I’d invested money into Emperor, then discovered she was the escort girl who’d run away from me back in Greece.
Moments later, I spotted her walking towards me wearing a white summer dress and looking incredible. The contrast of her tanned skin in this dress made her look like a goddess. I rushed to her and before she could even say anything, I had her in my arms, inhaling the familiar scent of her sweet perfume.
“Oh my God, Rupert! It’s so good to see you, hotshot,” she said, grabbing my face.
And then we kissed with urgent passion, as though this was our first and last kiss, and everything felt instantly better. My hard cock pressed against her centre. I pulled her closer, grabbing her breasts with my right palm, pushing my tongue into her mouth until she moaned and made me lose my last bit of self-control. Joy and peace rippled through my whole body. Veronica arched her head backward, giving me access to her neck until a whistle reminded us that we were in public.
“E prendete ‘na stanza, voi due!”
I was panting when I finally put her down, then I spotted an older Italian guy holding a rod, albeit not threateningly.
“Si, si, certo,” I replied, smiling and waving to the guy, yet never letting go of my woman.
“What did he say?”
“He told us to get a room,” I replied, then whispered, “Sunshine, you have no idea the things I want to do to you right now. This wait has been excruciating.”
“Yes, baby, I missed you so much and I wish we’d met sooner,” Veronica admitted, squeezing my waist.
It was coming close to nine p.m. We could get a hotel somewhere, but as much as I knew she wanted me to make love to her tonight, I had other plans.
“Come on, let’s go for a drive so you can tell me all about it,” I said, grabbing her hand and leading her to the car.
