Chapter 16

XAVIER AND ZANE HAD not only managed to get reservations to La Brasserie Balnéaire, which she learned was one of the most luxurious restaurants on the entire island, but had also gotten seats on the terrace overlooking the prized rose garden. Beautifully manicured, the gardens exploded with vibrant colors, providing a stunning backdrop to the already brilliant Caribbean landscape. While dining al fresco, the trio enjoyed the sweet floral aromas perfuming the air. If Cali dared to say, the entire setting was very romantic.

The two men had taken turns feeding her various items from their plates. Cali had sampled many different types of French fare, from succulent meats to fresh pasta and even a few spoons of soup.

“I am capable of feeding myself, Sirs,” she protested to no avail. Two identical arching brows had her parting her lips, accepting whatever they wanted to feed her. It felt very weird, but once she saw how happy it made Zane and Xavier, she allowed it. In a way, she felt treasured.

Trying not to let her thoughts get carried away, Cali focused on the present and the two stunning men in her company. These two gorgeous males looked every inch the Dominants she now knew they were.

Just thinking about them wielding power over her once they were back at the resort was enough to have her entire body humming in anticipation. Cali barely paid attention as the two casually talked until Xavier’s fingers brushed her arm.

“Shall we return to paradise, belleza?” The raspy quality to his deep voice became more pronounced when he called her by that specific endearment. The tone and way he drew out every syllable when speaking was enough to make her drip with desire. Already, her pussy creamed at the thought of that same voice teasing her senses while she lay naked beneath him.

Knowing he was waiting for an answer, she quickly stammered a reply. She still wasn’t pleased with the fact that she was so affected by him. “Y-yes, Sir.”

Zane stood and offered his arm. “Then let’s go. I have a few surprises for you once we get back. You do like presents, yes?”

The thought of him buying something for her made Cali very uncomfortable. They barely knew each other, so the gesture in itself was surprising. Having grown up in a lower middle class family, she realized the value of a dollar at an early age and usually bought her own things with her own money. She had also learned how much hard work it took to make a dollar.

She seemed to be surrounding herself with people who came from the opposite end of the financial spectrum. Cali’s thoughts turned to her friends back home, Emily in particular. A society princess whose father was in politics in Washington DC, Emily never had to work for a single thing in her entire life. Every time she asked for something, it was handed down to her. Cali couldn’t fault her best friend for the world she was born into. She then realized that she couldn’t fault these two men either.

Deciding to think about something different, she was extremely grateful Zane and Xavier began to talk amongst themselves so she didn’t have to answer his question. Phew!

That reassuring thought didn’t last long as both turned their gazes on her, and she felt them mentally undressing her with their eyes. Both Xavier and Zane should have come with a warning label. It’s not like you would’ve heeded it anyway. And that inner voice was right. She lacked both the desire and willpower to deny Xavier anything the night they met. Once she had gotten in Zane’s arms, the same could be said about him. A soft sigh escaped but thankfully neither mentioned it, if they had heard it to begin with.

When she returned home to Boston, she could remember this magical night and replay the images while she sat alone in her apartment. The setting at dinner had been very romantic and Cali had a suspicion the rest of the evening would be just as unforgettable. As if he felt the need to confirm that for her, Xavier’s head swooped down so he could brush his lips over hers.

“The next step in your training starts tonight, belleza. I hope you are ready.”

She almost asked more about this training he spoke of but knew she would find out soon enough. Cali shivered and followed the two men back to their car. Hoping that it would take a while to get back to the resort, per her usual luck, it didn’t. It seemed like everything in Virgin Gorda was in such close proximity to everything else but knowing how small this particular island was, it shouldn’t have come as a surprise at all.

By the time the sports car came to a stop in front of the resort, Calista was a ball of emotions. She was nervous, anxious, and even somewhat excited to see what the rest of the evening held for her. Visions of the night before entered her thoughts and the anticipation built even more.

While Zane said something to the valet, Xavier came around to her side of the car and helped her out. She clutched his hand and then the blond Dominant joined them before the three made their way to the villa.
