She whispered his name in between the other delicious sounds she was making. She arched her back, giving him better access to her throbbing bud.
“Richard, I need you inside me.”
“I’ve got you, babe.”
She straddled his hips in the oversized tub and slipped his cock inside her. Her inner lips clamped around his dick, and he almost lost it right then and there. But he would not do that to her. He wanted to worship her as the goddess she was. He continued to thrust his hips against her. As her moans grew louder, her breath hitched. She dug her nails into his back just as her walls pulsated around his cock. And that was when he lost it, riding his own sweet release at the same time as her.
Once their breath steadied, he got up and stepped out of the tub. Extending a hand to her that she took with a smile, he guided her out of the tub and dried her off.
“We should get changed and head to the main palace for dinner,” he said, glancing at his phone. He then wrapped a towel around his waist. “I’ll grab our suitcases.”
“Thanks.”
Richard came back with the suitcases, and they both got dressed in relative silence, but he caught her more than a few times staring at him through the large mirrors. Okay, he was staring at her, too. There was just something about a woman getting ready that he found intriguing. Of course, that someone was her and definitely had something to do with it.

The butler escorted Richard and Amira to the dining area after greeting them at the main door. The two sat where the butler guided them to. They were the first to arrive but weren’t alone for long, as soon a familiar face entered.
“Richard.” His ex stated his name. When Stan told him he was going to Skyros, he figured he’d end up seeing Carol, and he hadn’t known how he’d feel.
Now, facing her, all the anger and resentment was gone. He stood. “Carol, good to see you. I assume the gentleman by your side is Ray?”
Ray extended his hand and shook Richard’s. “Nice to meet you.”
“Is it?” Richard asked with a laugh. “I can’t imagine Carol had much good to say about me.”
As Carol and Ray took their seats, Amira leaned over and asked, “What’s up with them?”
“Carol is my ex,” Richard replied.
“Ohhh…” Amira looked at Carol with renewed interest.
“So, how are things with you, Richard?” Carol asked.
Richard quirked his brow up but only slightly. Carol hadn’t called him Richard to his face since before they’d broken up.
When he didn’t answer, Carol continued, “Oh, come on, Richard! It’s ancient history between us. I’ve moved on, and so have you. Let’s put that all behind us and make sure this is the best SHIT ever!”
“I can’t argue with you there,” he said, raising his glass in Carol’s direction.
“Besides, Amira seems to suit you. And if Stan endorses a couple, then I do, too.”
Richard didn’t have a chance to respond, as the rest of the group started filing in. The biggest surprise was the last two to enter.
“Hello, everyone!” said a familiar voice. Gregor entered the room with a woman draped around his arm. Richard had to do a double take. He couldn’t believe Cherry from HR appeared before him! Except she looked different, more relaxed.
“Hello, King Gregor,” Carol said, as they all stood to greet the former king and what looked to be his new girlfriend. “How were your flights? Hopefully not too tiring.”
“Not at all. I enjoyed myself,” Gregor said with a smile that brightened his eyes as he gazed at Cherry. “I’m sure most of you who work at WANC know Cherry.”
Cherry gave a bright smile to everyone as Gregor pulled out a chair for her to sit in.
“What are you doing here, Cherry?” The words came out of Richard’s mouth before he gave them permission.
“Gregor asked if I’d like to come along, and Stan suggested I handle your evaluations—well, the paperwork side of it, anyway. As you know, every year we have annual reviews at WANC, and since you’re all deep into SHIT here, I figured I’d make it easier and come to you!”
Richard took a sip of water. His mouth had suddenly gone dry. If Cherry was here, that meant that Amira was getting promoted before they left Greece. Carol and Harriet had similar situations when they stayed after the talks finished. His heart seemed to cave as the thought hit him. Amira might end up staying here, while he’d be on a plane going back home.
