Atasha

I woke up because of the sun's rays that snuck through the thin curtain of my room's window. I blink and close my eyes for minutes and slowly open them. I remember everything that happened last night. She gets off the bed and lifts my dress and spreads my legs. I can still smell the scent of their combined juices from last night. A smile formed on my lips.

"Atasha Ricci, what a dangerous game you've played for yourself."

I rolled back my head and recalled everything that happened. My body feels hot, and I find myself, for the very first time, aching. I touch myself and finger my c*nt for the first time. What Gael did to me was the payment for my plans.

I didn't deny the erotic side of me is now awakened because of him. After I reached my climax, I went to the bathroom and showered. I decided to send my thong to him. It's a reminder that he meets someone who will haunt him.

After eating breakfast, I called a delivery man who will send that gift to his address. I did my research and decided to send it to that address. The delivery man arrived. "Make sure he'll receive this, okay?"

"Yes, ma'am. Don't worry," he replied.

The rider left right away. I purposely do that for a reason. It's to remind him what we did last night. For the past three weeks, I tried to concentrate, but what happened that night had taught me that my thirst for him is hard to forget. I clean my house and pack my luggage. I headed to the airport at one o'clock.

I'll visit my parents in Sicily. Also, I miss my parents. Sicily was beautiful, and I love the beaches, but there's something that I hate about that place. I know my employees will take care of Ricci Group while I'm enjoying my vacation. After two hours of flight, I landed at the airport.

I smiled when I saw my parents. I wave at them and run. "Mama! Papa!" I scream. They both hugged her.

"Look at our beautiful baby," Mama says. I chuckle.

"Let's go. I know you're hungry and tired from hours of flight. We prepared your favorite dishes, honey," Mama says.

I grab their arms and smile. "Oh, wait. I dropped my hanky."

I let go of their arms and look back. I took three steps backward and crouched down. I frowned when a familiar voice caught my ears.

"Make sure to keep an eye on Mr. Agosti as well as our men in the lab. No room for mistakes, and you know that, Kyros. I'll be back as soon as I can, but if not, work on this one, and if you need help, call one of those bastards," he says.

I didn't raise my head and make sure my wavy hair hid her face. "What the fuck... that's Gael DeLuca's voice..."

I even talk to myself out of shock. "I have to go. As soon as I'm done dealing with this issue here in Sicily, I'll fly back as soon as I can. Keep my words in your head, Kyros. Bye," he says.

His voice was almost not audible in my ears. I stood up and looked forward. Their distance was three meters, but his voice was familiar to me because of that night. "Atasha?" Mama calls. I blink and smile.

"I'm sorry, Mama, Papa, I just heard a familiar voice. I thought it was someone that I know. Let's go?"

They both nod, and we leave the airport. On the road, I enjoy the view. It's been a decade since the last time I came here. My parents were surprised when I told them that I'll be coming home and staying for a week. But fate plays a joke on us again.

My plans had small changes now. Sicily is just a small place for the two of them. I knew I'd bump into Gael DeLuca again. My papa smiles at me when they see how surprised I was. "Wait, when did we have a hotel and resort?" I ask.

Mama and Papa chose to stay here two years ago. "Why did you guys suddenly think of this kind of business?" I added. Mama drags me inside, and their employee takes my luggage.

"Nowadays, people love to go to beaches for vacation, and this place was being sold by its owner, so your Papa and I decided to try this business," Mama says. They toured me first in the hotel, and at the front desk, a pretty lady was smiling at us.

"Welcome to Ricci Hotel and Resort, milady." I look at her name tag. "Just call me Atasha. Nice meeting you as well, Mio."

"Mama, I'll follow you later. I want to stay here and receive our customers. I feel like it's interesting."

Mama looks at me weirdly. I smiled, and my mother understood that I was serious. "Okay, then. Mio, go and check the rooms and make sure that the toiletries and everything were taken care of." Mio smiled and bowed her head.

"Understood, Ma'am Emma. Nice to meet you too, Ma'am Atasha. Excuse me," Mio says and leaves us with a smile.

"There is a man and married couple that might arrive any moment now. So... look at the screen and check their hotel number, then give them their keys, okay? After that, come to the main house and join us for lunch," Mama says. I smiled and nodded.

"Okay, I will," I replied.

Mama left, and I stayed at the front desk. I'm about to check the names and room numbers of the two guests that will arrive today when I notice a presence.

"Good morning!! Welcome to Ajello Hotel and Resort. What can I do for you? I'm Atasha Ajello...?!" She was taken aback, alarmed, and panicking.

Their eyes meet each other, and I can see my reflection in his russet brown, dazzling eyes. It's freaking Gael DeLuca! I knew he was here, but... damn! His brow arches.

"Which names do you really have, kitten? Hi, Atasha Ricci or... Ajello? What a freaking small world, isn't it?"

He leans on the counter. My heart beats so fast, and there's a place that feels warm out of the blue. I have no choice but to face how fate makes a joke of me. "Which place do you really reside in? Verona or... Sicily? You're quite a surprise, aren't you?" he added, teasing me.

The grin on his face was clear proof that he's enjoying this! I smiled and raised my head. "Well, you can see me in either of the two places. But our business was in Verona. My parents just settled here in Sicily after they retired."

I look at him and see his small carry-on bag. "As you can see, I have a reservation here, little rabbit. I think... I'll be enjoying my stay here." His calm and dangerous gaze was enough to give me excitement, but mostly... nervous.
