Love Renewed (Entwined Hearts #3) (11 page)

I say nothing as we walk into the hotel. Watching the staff eye fuck Dane then look at me like I’m not worthy is something that sadly, even after only a couple of days, I have gotten used to. He does nothing, but make me feel completely secure. Which is weird, as we seemed to go into fully exclusive mode after the first night. Without even having a conversation. We’ve been here since yesterday and the wedding is tomorrow. Every day we sneak out for lunch, just the two of us. It’s nice, and strangely it’s comfortable like we’ve been doing it for years. I’ve asked Dane if that’s normal, but seeing as he hasn’t had a relationship since me, and being that I’ve never had a decent relationship to my knowledge, neither of us knows the answers. I’m having a night with the girls tonight, and Soph is staying in my room while Dane stays in theirs with Saul. So I’m going to ask her if it’s normal.

“Dane?” I say his name in question as we step into the elevator.

“Baby,” he replies and it sends tingles down my body.

“Are we…is this…between us. What is…between us?” I manage to stutter out.

His eyes widen and he shakes his head slightly. “I thought I’d made it clear, obviously not clear enough. You’re mine. As of the moment you let me inside you.”

My breath catches and it’s not because his statement scares me, it’s because he’s so very hot right now. He must see my desire as he moves to me. Grabbing my hand he places my palm on his rock hard cock. “This is for you. No matter what you do, how you look or where we are, don’t forget. This is what you do to me. You think I’m going to let that escape me? No baby. Not happening.” He releases my hand, but I don’t pull away.

I look up to him and lick my lips, his eyes move to my tongue. “I think I need to take care of this for you,” I tell him coyly while gripping him harder. He groans and leans down to take my mouth. Grabbing my hand he pulls it away from his crotch and I pout. But his eyes heat, and he smirks as he manoeuvres my hand back to me, slipping it into the waistband of my Rara skirt and straight into my panties. He covers my hand with his and using his middle finger on top of mine, he pushes them both into me. I lay my head back closing my eyes, as he starts sucking on my neck just under my ear. When the elevator slows to a halt. Pulling both our hands out from between my legs he stands covering me until I pull myself back together. Unfortunately as the doors open, Soph and Saul are standing there.

“Hey guys, what are you doing on the…” I rush out then look at the floor we’re on. “Seventeenth floor?” I continue realising Pea’s room is on this floor. Soph giggles at me while Saul smirks and looks up at the number above the door. Dane grabs me around the waist and I close my eyes into his chest. In truth, though, I’m only slightly embarrassed that I forgot we were in a public elevator. I’m pretty sure anyone with eyes would take one look at Dane and say, “Oh yeah, I get it sister, totally.” I open my eyes again when Soph starts talking.

“So Libby, are you ready for our night tonight?” she asks and I watch with fascination as annoyance crosses over Saul’s face and Dane looks at him smiling. They look so alike, except their eyes which are completely opposite.

“I am, are you?” I reply gesturing with my head to Saul. Over the last four months, I’ve gotten to know Soph and Pea really well through Skype and I know Saul is Mr. Caveman, as Soph calls him.

“Oh, just ignore him, he doesn’t understand why we can’t see each other tonight. He thinks he has to spend every night with me.”

“After tonight I will be, no fucking way are you spending another night away from my bed,” Saul replies sharply. Soph rolls her eyes but is grinning wide, she loves his caveman ways. The elevator stops again and they get out.

“See you at the pool in ten minutes,” she reminds me of our previous arrangement, and I feel my shoulders sag, knowing I won’t have time to continue what we started.

“I’m not banished from the pool am I?” Saul questions her as they walk out, although his tone indicates it’s less a question and more a statement.

Soph smiles. “No, you can all come. It’s only that I can’t sleep with you tonight.” I hear him mumble as our doors shut.

Dane rubs my back. “Don’t worry, we’ve got time.”

I look up at him as the doors reopen and we walk toward our suite. I love this suite. I fell in love with it the minute we arrived. It has floor to ceiling glass in almost every room. But the reason I love it so much, is because the glass continues into the bathroom and better still the bedroom. I place my bag down and walk into the bedroom. I need to change into a bikini for the pool. Looking in my wardrobe I find the perfect one. It’s black and rather standard, except it has what looks like slits in the bottom and top. I love it. I’ve just pulled on the bottom half when Dane stalks in.

“Perfect timing I see,” he murmurs as he stops in front of me. His big hands automatically coming up to cup my naked breasts. “All ready for me.” He leans down and takes one of my nipples into his mouth while squeezing the other breast. I make a noise which vibrates at the back of my throat and Dane pulls away. I can feel the coolness on my nipple where his mouth was. “Let’s try something different,” he whispers in my ear.

I say nothing and he pushes against my almost bare body until my back is flush against the window. “Now, I am going to pay particular attention here,” he says and points to my chest area. “And here.” This time, he runs his fingers down my throat. “Not forgetting here,” Dane tells me, touching his lips softly to mine. “But you’re going to help me, Nova.” He takes my hand once again and slides it into my bikini bottoms, this time not pushing his hand in too. “You’re going to touch yourself. I want to know that you really mean it. I want to see the pleasure. Because we’re going to stay here until you come for me. For yourself.” On the last word, he leans into me again and takes my mouth. I groan as he kneads my breasts. But he pulls away. His eyes train on mine and his mouth whispers onto my lips, “Nah uh. Nova, I want to feel you circle your clit, I want to hear the noise your pussy makes as the wetness gathers between your legs.” His words make me convulse and I lay my head back against the window getting to work on myself. I feel the wetness on my fingers as I circle my clit, rubbing up and down, putting just enough pressure on, the way I’ve taught myself over the years.

Dane is sucking and biting my breasts. He pulls back slightly and creates a trail with his tongue up my body until he’s back at my mouth. Taking control of the situation completely, he pushes his cock against the back of my hand so I can feel his desire. But he knows what he’s doing, as it makes me move my hand more, hoping that I can give him a small amount of pleasure at the same time as I do myself.

I bring my other hand down to try and grasp him, but he’s so tight against me that I can’t wiggle my hand in between us. He leans back from my mouth and smiles. “Not going to make yourself come on your own are you?” Without waiting for my answer, his hand joins mine. Once again pushing our fingers into my passage. Moving back and forth. It’s strange finger fucking yourself with someone else. If it was anyone else, I’m sure it would be embarrassing. But with Dane, it just isn’t. He makes anything possible. Pulling his finger back he whispers, “Keep fucking yourself baby, I’m going to explore.” With that said, he finds my clit and rubs me back and forth. In a matter of seconds, I’m convulsing around my finger and moaning without care. When I start returning to normal, I pull my finger out of my bikini bottoms. Dane grabs it and places it in his mouth, sucking my juices off the digit. “I would say let’s continue this, but if we don’t show at the pool in the next few minutes baby, Pea and Soph will be banging down our door, and with what I have in mind next, I want to take my time.”

I whine slightly which makes him smile.
Big.
Then surprising him, I launch myself forward into his arms and kiss him deep. Hard. And long. He returns my kiss with a growl. When we both pull away, we’re panting and I can see the want in his eyes.

“Come on, before I lock us the fuck in here and we miss the wedding tomorrow.”

Smiling I pull on my bikini top, throw on a skirt over the bottoms and grab my things, as he pulls on shorts and we make our way to the pool.

“I’m taking her inside.” I look toward Con, who has baby Eleanor on his lap. “It’s too hot for her out here, and Soph needs Pea at the moment for all this girly shit. Eric and Rich should be arriving anytime as well, so they’ll probably call the suite.” I look over at Con and nod as he gathers the car load of stuff with military precision. It’s actually pretty impressive. He takes a couple of steps as Saul and I watch, then he stops and walks back to us. He nods his head toward Pea and the girls, who are all sitting on the edge of the pool, their legs in the water. “Watch her for me. There are a fuckton of dicks around this pool, I can see them all staring. I’m not gonna be here to intervene.” He doesn’t say anymore, but as he looks around the pool, I watch a muscle jump in his cheek.

“Of course, bro,” Saul answers and Con walks away. I look around following Con’s example. I’d already noticed the guys staring. It’s hard not to. But then within about two minutes of being here, I had everyone sized up. The only person that concerns me is the guy tending the poolside bar. He keeps zeroing in on the girls. The others are men that can’t help themselves. I get that. The way those three look, you’d be blind not to notice, and there isn’t much anyone can do about that.

Typically I’ve never been jealous, but Nova is anything but typical for me. I know the barman likes his odds. I know his kind without even speaking to him. Pretty boy, loves his job and gets the eye candy. Thinks most of the women here are spoilt rich girls, wanting to metaphorically spank their daddy for some misdemeanour, and he’s only too happy helping them with that. Or he has the bored housewives who need his kind of entertainment. Then he goes back to his friends and regales them with his stories, proud like a peacock with his work.
Dick.
I’m trying not to let anything affect me. Firstly, this time is about Saul and Soph, and secondly I don’t want to scare Nova away. Unlike most women I’ve been with, she’s much more clued in, which makes me cautious of my actions. I’m still keeping an eye on his movements though, as he tries everything to gain their attention.

“You’re quiet. Checking out the barman?” Saul asks from behind me and I’m surprised. Seems my little brother is more perceptive than I gave him credit for.

“Yeah, just watching,” I reply grabbing my water and taking a drink. “Looking forward to tomorrow?” I ask distracting him. The last thing I need is Saul getting into it with hotel staff the day before his wedding.

He looks over at me from behind his aviators. “Abso-fucking-lutely.” I smile at his reaction, beneath his brooding, he’s like a six-year-old boy on Christmas day. Well, what I expect it feels like to be a six-year-old boy on Christmas day.

Shit, maybe Saul didn’t have that either, our mother is a bitch after all.

“We need to talk when you’ve finished your honeymoon,” I tell him.

He pulls his eyes away from Soph and looks at me. “Of course brother. What about?”

I love that from him. Automatic yes, without even asking why first.

“Our mother.”

At my mention of that woman, Saul’s face goes hard but he nods. I’m not going to push it anymore as it’s his time, but I want him to understand that I need to know. I want to know how bad it was for him, and where things stand with them now. If anywhere at all.

Two hours later and I’ve had enough sun. I’m ready to hit the gym, shower, relax, and then lose myself in Nova for a while, before we part ways tonight.

“I’m going to the gym,” I tell Saul and he sits up from the lounger, where he was trying to look relaxed, but was really watching the girls. I glance over at them and they’re all in the pool now. I watch Nova, her hair is wet and slicked down and she throws her head back with laughter as she leans on the side of the pool.

Shit, I can feel myself getting aroused like a fucking schoolboy.

I look over at the barman, who I’ve been intermittently watching, and anything that was happening downstairs has now fallen flat. He’s staring at the girls, specifically Pea and Nova. I’ve not worked out yet whether he likes brunettes, or he’s heard Soph talking about her wedding, so he’s ruled her out. I’ve noticed him chatting to them when they go up for drinks. He’s building it up, making them laugh, trying to ply them with drinks, even when they ask for water. His end goal is getting nearer—he thinks.

“I could use a workout, rid myself of the restlessness I feel,” Saul tells me. I know what he means, neither of us are really the lounging around types. We’re doing—not lazing. It’s who we are.

“Go tell the girls. I’m gonna grab a bottle of water,” I say nodding to the bar area. Saul looks down next to my lounger at my nearly full bottle of water and smirks.

Yeah. Much too perceptive.

When I get to the bar, I make sure nobody is around. Now I’m nearer, I take note of the guy. Around late twenties. Blonde. Tall, as tall as me, but he’s broader, with a bulky gym body. I can see why he gets his fair share of dumb women. But our girls are not dumb, and where this guy is big and obviously works out, he’s also clumsy and uncoordinated. He ambles to me, puffing out his chest.

“What can I get you dude,” he asks not taking his eyes away from the pool. A frown crosses his face, which must mean Saul is talking to the girls. This prick is trying to work out whether he has competition with Saul. I snort and his attention comes back to me. The frown still covering his face. He looks me over and his frown turns to a smirk.

“Those three woman that you’ve been staring at all day—one blonde, two brunettes—now with the guy,” I say without even looking behind me. He immediately looks over at them again. “They’re off limits.” His eyes snap back to me, but he has a grin on his face. He’s about to test me. He thinks he can take me. Silly boy. I stare at him narrowing my eyes and I can see the moment he realises the look I have, as his features completely change, his eyes widening and his mouth slightly opening with shock.

That’s right, you can see what I’m capable of now.

I lean into him speaking softly, “I can break your neck in half a second, right here, and the only point that someone might notice, will be when they’re thirsty and you’re not available to pour their drink. Those women you’ve had eyes on all afternoon are my sister, my brother’s fiancée and
my
woman. I’m going to the gym now. Don’t fuck with them. This is my nice warning.” I move away from the bar slightly. Then finish with, “Did you get that order?” At my words he nods, looking everywhere but at the girls.

I walk away saluting the girls and winking at Nova, who has a grin. I’m pretty sure she knows what happened. Not what I said, but the point I made with bar guy. I shake my head with a smile as Saul falls in line next to me.

“No water?” he asks with a chuckle.

Dick.

I don’t know what Dane said to that bar douche, but he definitely said something as he hasn’t even looked at us since then. I must admit, it was nice that he took care of us in a quiet way. Not making a scene or acting all jealous, like Davy would have. A shiver runs down my body when I think of Davy now. It’s only been five days since things ended, although if I’m really honest, I think it ended when I went to England. Still, it hasn’t been long, and yet it feels like a lifetime ago, it also feels weirdly wrong. Like I should never have been with him. Maybe he was just showing me attention at the right time, and that’s why we started dating. I mean he’s hot—not Dane hot. I don’t think anyone is that hot. But, I don’t know, there’s just something off about Davy. I think he wanted to control me, but not in the sexy bedroom way that Dane does it. I always saw something different, something well hidden in his eyes.

“Right, well, I need to go rescue my man from my daughter…or maybe it’s rescue my daughter from my man…hmm,” Pea says and we all giggle.

“Yeah, I should go rescue Saul. I mean he’s healed completely from the car accident, but he likes to train with Dane whenever he can. Unfortunately, he can’t keep up with Dane that man is like a machine. I don’t want Saul pulling something before tomorrow, now do I? Where would I be on my wedding night then girls, hey?” Soph says winking and we all laugh again.

“Well, tell Dane I’ll be up in our room, I have the key in my bag,” I say pointing to the sun loungers.

Soph separates from us moving toward the gym and Pea and I get in the elevator. “How are things between the two of you? Neither of us has asked you yet, but we’re dying to know. The last conversation we had was you telling us Davy and you were history,” Pea asks.

“Really good. There are some things that take me by surprise. I’ve never had a good relationship and Dane hasn’t ever had a relationship, well, apart from with me, but seeing as I can’t remember that, along with the fact that we were kids, it seems kind of unconventional. Sometimes I wonder if what we have is real,” I confess.
