Chapter 48: The Beginning Of An End

Stephano’s P.O.V.

I almost lost her. My stupid suggestion to swim had nearly ended Morgan's life and now, she’s locked herself in her room.

“What did you do?”Xavier asks gruffly, shoving my shoulder hard enough to make me lose my balance.

I don’t want him to know I had kissed her, as much as I would love to rub it in his face I can't. Because it would be somekind of disrespect to Morgan's person.

The experience with her was unlike anything I’ve ever had in my life. Her soft lips settling upon mine and the pull of her lips on my skin had me rock hard leaving me aching for her almost instantly. I’ll gladly give her my everything every day if it won’t kill me.

“She almost drowned, You jerk!”Dorian says in a grave threatening tone...

“Are you kidding?”I say angrily..

“You think I don't know that?”I say in a angry tone balling my hands into fists.

“He is not the leader of this pack. If he thinks he is, I’ll help him understand he’s wrong.

“Don’t test me, man. I pulled her from the waves and made sure she was safe, Let it go. Besides last time I checked Morgan belongs to no one”I say sneering.

Dorian barrels past me, and I, raced up the stairs. “I’m going to talk to her and fix this. It’s only our second day with her and you’ve already almost fucked this whole thing up. You know what’s on the line. Why would you do something that puts her at risk?”

I can’t let him get to her first. If I don’t assure her everything is fine, she won’t understand.”I thought...

“Stop and let her be, she's got quite a scare let her rest”I say dryly as I stood tall blocking their view from the door of her room..

“Are we really doing this right now?”Zion says as he walks in with a tray filled with food...

“You all need to take it down a notch, what Aurora need is food and rest. Besides you all keep going "Alpha and Macho on eachother" and that screams being selfish.”Zion says sighing

“He's right, fighting and arguing won't help at all”Griffin says..

“Besides you all know she's very much capable of having your heads on spike so move Stephano. ”He says grimly..

I might not know Zion all that well but he's very observant and the quiet type just like Griffin and I respect that fact.

“He's right"Xavier says...

"We should probably take this elsewhere..”Dorian grumble.

“Morgan, just checking I don't know if you're asleep but I left you some lunch. Hope you enjoy we'll leave you to rest.”Zion murmurs as he drops the tray infront of her door...

******************************

Morgan's P.O.V.

I lean against the wood door, listening to them till I heard nothing but their retreating footsteps. As the silence in the hall grew heavy, I heave a sigh of fustration as I silently open the door and grabbed the tray.

“I smile warmly as I stared down the delicately prepared fruit salad and milk, With the fresh strawberries and berries. I walk slowly to my queen-sized bed as I settle comfortable eating...

"For a minute, I felt in control.

"I loved the attention!

"But now it's becoming a little too for me..

"To think I thought of sleeping with each and everyone of them before the end of my vacation”I thought grimly as I take a sip from my glass of milk.

"Does that make me a slut?

"Hell no.

"I'm just a confident woman who's not embarrassed and afraid of her sexual desires and I want all of them, Xavier especially.

"I guess it isn't easy for a queen to manage her harem. From the sound of their heated conversation it seems jealousy and greed has begin to settle between them.

Which only seems to spice things up a bit, just the way I like it. Am a bitch right? Yeah I know. I really like them though and it won't be fun either if I don't get the chance to taste them, I mean each one of them has his own appeal. Even Stephano and his cocksure attitude.

I dropped the tray on a table as I walk across the room until I reach the big French doors that lead to the balcony. Throwing them open, I step out into the warm breeze taking in the soft crash of waves as the sun dips below the horizon. The sky turns orange, then pink, and purple before darkening to deep blue velvet. I stay immobile and entranced by the warm sea breeze as everything feels more familiar in the darkness and I’m comforted by the reminder of what I am and where I’ll be in two weeks time.

“I hope she's okay.” I hear Griffin grumbles in his baritone voice.

Glancing down at the grounds, I catch sight of all five of them sitting around a table, a beer bottle in front of each.

“Nice”I thought to myself smirking and grinning foolishl

“Oh, am sure she is. Morgan is quite the Daredevil you know”Xaiver says as he takes a long swing from his beer.

“That I'll have to agree with you”Dorian murmurs laughing out loudly..

“Yeah me to”They murmured.

“Won't she kicks us out though, considering her temper. Since you tried to drown her”Zion says laughing..

“Nah, she won't. Am sure she's just going to try to get back at you somehow. Besides that girl do love a challenge”Dorian says.

“That sounds more like morgan, well since you're all here I guess I should tell you all. We actually kissed after the episode in the beach”Stephano says..

“What?”Xaiver pipes up.

“Yeah, man. What?” The rough grumble that falls from Xavier made my stomach clench Abit.

“He’s angry.”I thought smirking as I try to enjoy the look on his face...

“During our walk. We went swimming, but the current was too strong and I had to pull her from the waves. We…had a moment though, it was worth it”Stephano says...

Sitting back in his chair, Dorian takes a long pull from his beer before shaking his head. “So? How was it?”

Raking his hand through his hair, Stephano sighs. “her lips tasted like heaven, fucking amazing. Almost better than sex.”He sighs out dreamily.

“Those words falling from his lip makes arousal course through me.

“Letting out an involuntary and uninvited sound as I moaned out, Four pairs of intense eyes lock on me and all I can do is offer a bold wave and smirk. As I stood proudly in my flimsy and daring lingere with my hair blowing in the breeze.

“Well, look who came to join us. don’t just stand there”Xaiver says, a smirk turning up the corner of his mouth. “Come down from your tower.”

These four men are looking at me like something they’d like to eat for dessert. And I think I might enjoy that but not now...

It's not time yet”I thought to myself as I slowly caress my hands on the railing of the balcony...

“Nah, I think I love the view from up here”I say coyly the soft breeze carrying my words filled with desire, want and passion.

“Good night boys"I say smiling at them as I turned on the sensual and tempting look on my face, letting them catch a glimpse of what's to come if I ever let them up into the tower. Before I turned and catwalked back to my room shutting the balcony doors..

Everybody's happy ending is different and mine is ending with a twist!
