Page 73 of The One That Got Away

‘Wait here,’ I said. ‘I’m just gonna apologise.’

‘I should come too.’

‘You can if you want, but I’ve got this.’

‘You sure?’

‘Yeah. See you back at the villa.’

‘I’ll apologise later too. I just need to get cleaned up.’ Stella hurried off.

‘Olga, Jasmine.’ I walked towards them. ‘My sincere apologies for what you just saw. I didn’t mean for you to be exposed to… well, I hope I didn’t offend you.’

I didn’t regret what I did with Stella, but of course I didn’t want to make them feel uncomfortable.

‘You could not wait to dothatin your room?’ Olga sneered.

‘It’s complicated. I know it sounds lame, but it was a kind of heat of the moment thing. It wasn’t planned. It just… happened. Me and Stella, we were together before and…’

‘Max, with your permission, I can explain to Olga. I appreciate your apology, though. Go back to the villa. I’ll come and see you both later.’ Jasmine was so professional that I couldn’t tell whether she was pissed off.

‘Okay,’ I nodded, wondering what the consequences of getting caught would be.

When I arrived at the villa, the bathroom door was closed and I heard a tap running. Any minute now, Stella would be going in the shower. I wished I could join her, but I had to respect her boundaries.

Instead I went to my room and took out some fresh clothes. There was only one bathroom so I had to wait until Stella finished to clean myself up properly.

As I reached in my pocket, I remembered I had her underwear. I pulled out the flannel, ready to put it in the laundry basket, but as I tried to unravel it, Stella’s knickers fell on the floor.

I bent down to pick them up. Fuck. Stella wasn’t joking. These were soaked. And knowing that she was so turned on and wanted me that much instantly made my dick hard.

Before I knew it, Stella’s lacy panties were under my nose and I squeezed my eyes shut as I inhaled her delicious scent.Jesus. What I wouldn’t give to taste her right now. I’d love to run my tongue over her clit. If we’d had more time, I would’ve devoured her with my mouth and made her come all over again.

Reluctantly, I put her knickers on the bed and headed to the kitchen. I needed a glass of water to help cool me down.

Just as I was going back to my room, Stella came out of the bathroom.

‘You’re… back.’ She paused in the hallway. As I took in the sight of the towel wrapped tightly around her, I tried to ignore how sexy her shoulders looked. ‘I was just about to get in the shower, but I forgot my face wash. What did Jasmine and Olga say? Are they kicking us out?’

‘Not sure,’ I shrugged. ‘Jasmine said she’d speak to us later.’

‘Shit.’ She shook her head. ‘We shouldn’t have been so reckless.’

‘Do you regret it?’ I asked. ‘Because I don’t.’ I walked towards her and she stepped back, her body pressing against the wall.

‘You don’t?’

‘Not. One. Bit.’ I fixed my gaze on Stella and she swallowed hard. ‘There is one thing I regret, though.’

‘What?’ she said, her chest rising and falling rapidly like she was struggling for breath.

‘That I didn’t get to fuck you again.’

‘What’s stopping you now?’ she said.

‘Give me the green light and I will.’

‘Considerthismy green light.’ She tugged the front of her towel and it dropped to the floor, revealing her magnificent body.
