A Passionate Discovery (Self-Discovery Series) (22 page)

CHAPTER FOURTEEN

When they
finally made it back to the hotel Carla was ready to relax, more than ready in
fact. She wanted nothing more than to sink into the huge tub the bathroom
boasted and soak for the rest of the evening.

It came as
an unpleasant shock to her when Jason announced that they had another night to
mark off their list. She had allowed herself to forget the ten nights in the
pleasure of their day together.

“Sir,
could we maybe just not have this night tonight?” she asked timidly. She didn’t
want to ruin the incredible mood Jason was in but was really tired.

He held
out his hand to her and smiled when she immediately took it. He knew how tired
she was, it had been an exhausting day, so he understood her desire, but his
plans could not be changed. “I have already made arrangements for our last two
nights together here, sweetheart.” He pulled her into an embrace and kissed the
top of her head. “I promise you can sleep late tomorrow.”

She nodded
wearily against his chest, not wanting to disappoint him. “Okay, sir.”

“Go take a
hot bath, my sweet, it will relax your muscles and I’ll have dinner waiting for
you when you get out.” He felt it was fair concession. He turned her around and
pushed her gently in the direction of the bathroom, patting her backside
lightly, encouraging her to do as he asked.

Carla walked
into the bathroom feeling dead on her feet. The heat of the island, combined
with the exertion of all the walking she had done, not to mention their
frenzied lovemaking in the pool, had sapped her energy. She felt better as she
slipped into the steaming hot water and allowed herself to soak for a while,
just drifting there while the heat relaxed her aching muscles.

She
intended only to soak for a few minutes before cleaning herself, but the
combination of her tiredness and the soothing effect of the water in the bath
soon had her asleep.

That was
how Jason found her half an hour later. Dead to the world, her head resting on
the cushion placed at the top of the bath for just that purpose. Smiling in an
amused fashion he shook his head as he bent over and lifted her from the tub.

Her eyes
opened as he picked her up and she smiled at him sleepily. She looked so young
and innocent while still half asleep, he couldn’t believe she was the same
woman whose body he had enjoyed over the past few nights. “I wish now I could
cancel our plans for the evening.” He chuckled softly at her blush and lowered
her to her feet.

Drying her
body gently he wrapped her in a large towel. “Your dinner is in the other room;
go eat while I grab a quick shower.”

“Thank for
you dinner, Sir, and for today, it was wonderful.” Smiling she left him,
following the heavenly aromas to where the food waited for her. On the veranda
table was a glass of wine and a sterling silver covered tray, a long stemmed
red rose sat in a small vase next to it, while a single white candle provided
light for her meal. He really was pampering her she thought, grinning.

Sitting on
one of the cushioned chairs she reached over to lift the cover off the tray.
Though she had eaten plenty at the picnic Jason had arranged for their lunch,
the swimming, the sex and all the walking had left her ravenous and she was
delighted to see Chicken Masala, one of her favorite dishes, on the tray.

Eagerly
she set the cover aside and dug into the meal; it was delicious, her hunger
making it taste all the more so. She ate more than was good for her but she
enjoyed every morsel of it, and only when she was finally full and could eat no
more did she put her fork down.

Feeling
more awake Carla sipped the last of her wine and then made her way into the
bedroom, where she was gifted with the sight of a glistening Jason, a towel
wrapped around his waist. She couldn’t help herself, her eyes roamed over his
chiseled abs and strong chest.

“I wish we
had time for me to show you what a look like that will get you, sweetheart, but
you need to get that sexy ass dressed.” Winking at her he walked into the
closet and pulled out a pair of black dress pants and a dark grey dress shirt.
Walking back out he laid them on the bed. “Go dry your hair, babe, I’ll lay out
something for you to wear as soon as I’m dressed.”

She didn’t
argue, right then she didn’t care what she wore as long as it pleased him. Once
she had untangled her long hair with a comb she dried it thoroughly. With that
done she took out her cosmetics bag and dusted a light layer of bronzer over
her face, she then applied a touch of mascara and finished by adding a hint of
color to her lips with a coral gloss.

Jason was
already dressed when she returned to the bedroom and she hurried to pull on a
pair of lacy white panties. Not sure what bra to wear she glanced over to the
bed to see what he had picked out for her. It was one of the silk mini-dresses
with spaghetti straps so she grabbed a strapless half bra.

“You look
gorgeous, baby, now grab your shoes and let’s get out of here,” he told when
she had slipped the dress on over her head and settled it over her hips. “I
don’t want to be late.” With that he walked out into the main room to make a
phone call.

Finding
her three inch heels Carla slid them on, grabbed her purse and joined Jason in
the main room of the suite. “Ready when you are, Sir,” she announced with a
smile that she hoped hid her nerves, she had no idea what he was going to teach
her, and as she had been on the previous nights she was a mix of nerves and
excitement.

He held
out his hand for her and together they left the room. When they were outside
they made the brief walk to the dock, where, to Carla’s surprise, Jason guided
her into a waiting powerboat. Stifling her curiosity as best she could she sat
back as the boat took off across the water.

It took
almost no time for the boat to reach their destination, another island in the
chain, and Jason climbed out quickly before turning to assist Carla out onto
the dock. “We are meeting a dear friend of mine tonight, Carla; he owns the
resort on this island. I am sure you will find him as charming as most other
women do,” he said as he led her up the dock to the hotel, which was just as
beautiful as where they were staying.

It was
clear to Carla that Jason’s friend was rich; she could only imagine how rich he
must be to own an entire holiday resort, especially one so beautiful and
exclusive.

“I want
you to remember something tonight, sweetheart,” Jason said as they walked
through the doors and into the impressive lobby. “By pleasing me you also
please yourself.” He squeezed her hand lightly and guided her over to the
golden gilded elevators.

Carla
could only wonder at what he meant as the lift rose swiftly to the top floor of
the hotel. His words were pushed from her mind however when the doors open;
before her was a suite that looked as though it took up the entire floor. She
could only gasp at the opulence she saw.

She was
still taking in the suite when a man walked forward into her field of vision. Immediately
her focus was drawn away from the suite, and its decorations, and onto him. He
was handsome, almost impossibly so, with movie star looks that could have
earned him millions even if he didn’t possess a single ounce of acting ability.

He wasn’t
as large and muscular as Jason, but the skintight t-shirt he was wearing showed
Carla that he had a physique to make men jealous and women swoon. His jet black
hair was swept back in a casual style, which she was sure was anything but
casual, while his grey eyes sparkled with amusement as he looked her over
appreciatively.

“It has
been too long my friend.” The hunk moved forward to embrace Jason, pulling him
into a bear hug.

Carla
could only watch in surprise as the two men greeted each other. In her
experience men shook hands, or slapped each other on the ass; she had never
before seen men be so open and affectionate in their greetings.

“Come, Carla,
meet Manuel.” Jason smiled broadly and held out his hand for her to join them.

“She is
even lovelier than you told me in our conversations,” Manuel said. Taking Carla’s
hand he lifted it to his lips and kissed it gallantly. “A pleasure to meet
you.”

He had a
strong accent and a charming manner that Carla was instantly attracted to.
“It’s very nice to meet you, Sir.” She wasn’t sure what to call him, but
assumed that being a close friend of Jason’s he had at least some knowledge of
his lifestyle.

“So well
trained already.” Manuel nodded approvingly, smiling at Jason. “I am impressed,
old friend.” He looked back at Carla. “Am I to assume she has not been told why
you have brought her to me?”

“You would
assume correctly.” Jason chuckled at the confused look that crossed Carla’s
face. “She does know that this will be part of our ten nights. I can only hope
she does as well tonight as she has during the other nights.” He spoke to his
friend but kept his eyes on Carla, attempting to read her mood.

“I am sure
if you have been training her that she will do very well,” Manuel remarked.
“Shall we get more comfortable?” he asked. Not waiting for either of them to
answer he walked off, knowing Jason would follow, and sure his submissive would
do so as well.

Jason took
Carla’s hand and led her after his friend, whispering softly, “You do this
tonight to show me that you trust me in all things.”

Carla was
becoming more and more nervous. She got the distinct impression that whatever
was going to happen that night was something she wouldn’t be comfortable with.
Her heart beat faster with every step and when she walked into the room Manuel
had disappeared into she froze.

Manuel was
waiting for them in a bedroom. In the center of which was a very large bed; it
was larger than any bed she had ever seen and it overshadowed everything else
in the room.

“I don’t
understand, Sir,” Carla whispered in confusion, looking from Jason to Manuel
and back again, not understanding why both of them were smiling at her in such
a strange way.

“Tonight, Carla,
we will both enjoy you.” Jason watched her eyes widen with fear and when she
took a few steps away from him he knew it was time to command her. “This is not
debatable, sweetheart,” he told her firmly. “You have nothing to fear, and a
world of pleasure to be gained.”

“I
c-can’t, Sir.” She looked at him in shock, finding it hard to speak. She
couldn’t believe what he was asking of her. It was too much. The very thought
of it made her heart race in fear.

“Do you
remember what we discussed last night, Carla?” His grew even more cold and
stern. “I can only unlock your passion when you trust me completely.”

“I c-can’t
do this, Sir, please, I’m begging you not to ask me.” How could he even want
such a thing? 

Sure,
Manuel was an extremely gorgeous man, and she doubted many girls turned him
down, but what Jason was asking of her then went beyond anything she had done
for him. She knew that some women, not any that she knew personally, were okay
with the idea of sleeping with two men at the same time, but she knew she was
not that kind of woman. She was sure that she would never become the type of
woman who would be okay with having two lovers at the same time.

“You’re
overthinking things, Carla, undress, now!” Jason knew just how hard what he had
planned would be for her, it was pushing her boundaries further than they’d
ever been pushed in her life. He wasn’t prepared to back down though; if she
didn’t use her safe words then the night was going to go ahead as planned.

“I
c-can’t, Sir,” she cried out softly, lowering her head. She didn’t like denying
him, and hated that he was going to be upset with her, but it was just too
much. She shook her head, fighting back tears.

Manuel
watched the beautiful girl fall apart and smiled warmly. She had no idea what
pleasures awaited her in their arms. He knew instinctively, and from the talks
he had had with Jason, that she would enjoy it, all she had to do was
surrender.

He was
curious to see who was going to win the battle of wills. An innocent in his
lifestyle was a rarity and he wondered if someone with her limited experience
could be convinced to love so freely.

Jason had
no intention of accepting defeat and with no warning he reached out. In a quick
move he pulled the straps off her shoulders so the dress fell to pool at her
feet.

Her hands
moved instinctively to cover her chest, shocked that he had done such a thing
in front of a man who was a stranger to her, no matter how beautiful she thought
he was. “Sir, please stop!” She was humiliated, and in that moment she felt
herself hating Jason. She didn’t understand how he could treat her in such a
fashion, especially after the day they had spent together.

“Don’t
fight me on this, girl, just surrender and allow yourself to enjoy it. Tomorrow
you will wonder what you were so afraid of.” Wrapping his arms around her waist
he held her tight against him. Her body was trembling violently but he was sure
that was mainly from embarrassment.
