"A female has finally entered our territory. Things are moving along as planned." The more muscular one stated to the other guy with him. Who relished every word holding my gaze more rapt than the muscular one. My mouth went dry seeing these two masculine but handsome men. They weren't stunning, especially the bulky guy. He had several scars, one on his neck and one on his chest, exposed by his open shirt. And when I sat there looking at his face, I noticed a downward scar at the corner of his lips, making him look fierce until he turned and smiled at me as the other spoke.
“I know you must be hungry after such a long trek. So Blaze will take you to our dining area and fix you something delicious or anything you desire to drink.”
At that instance, a hunger pang plunged deep into my stomach. “Yes. I would like that.”
Blaze escorted me into the dining room and sat me down at the bar, "What would you like to eat?"
“Whatever you prepare for me.” All the while, I couldn’t understand why I was being so calm in this situation. Something in my mind said I should be screaming and trying to run. But I felt more relaxed than I ever felt before in my life. I told myself, maybe because they had kept their word so far, and no one had harmed me.
“Let’s see what would be more entertaining for you to watch me cook. Ah, do you eat Japanese food?”
“Yes.” honestly, I could eat a horse right now.
“I think it's great you eat Japanese food! Get comfortable. I'll be back in a second. I need to put on my chef's attire."
The second he left the dining room, I thought, "Something strange is happening here. Maybe I should try and make a run for it. He doesn't look like anyone's Chef to me. I Look around! Why are all the chairs up on the tables? Where's the rest of the staff?"
I got up from the chair and started heading for the door, just when I opened it. I hear my name being called calmly. "Charlize."
My body stiffens, with only my head turning, looking over my shoulder. He looks at me as I close the door. He looked unlike any man I had ever seen before. He blinked curiously as he found me still standing at the door, shaking and trembling.
Blaze continues to walk through the double doors with a big bowl of vegetables and a meat plate. He wore no shirt, only an apron around his waist and a pair of cut-off mid-thigh high jean shorts. The man looked good, and he called this his chef's uniform. I could not believe my eyes! I got an eye full of everything male as my mouth dropped open!
"Come take a seat. Welcome to Chef’s Delight Bar and Grill here at Pleasure Paradise.”
Seeing this man’s body up close and personally left my eyes blinking a mile a minute. I followed the man I heard called Blaze everywhere he went. He pulled out the chopping board and began doing knife tricks right before my eyes while he winked and flirtatiously teased me as he sliced and diced like a professional Japanese chef.
"Woah! Wow! Awesome!" I said excitedly, watching this sexy man perform his knife tricks. He then fixed me this delicious-looking tropical drink and handed it to me.
“What is this drink called?”
“Euphoria.”
“Take a sip.”
“Hmm….”
“You like it?”
“Yes, it’s enjoyable.”
Only after a few sips did I feel good and now at ease. The young man entertained me as I gladly drank! After that, hot food was served, and he ate with me. Blaze left me impressed and pleased with his skills and barely their sexy chef uniform. "Who wouldn't want to eat a meal like this looking at a body like that!" I thought to myself.
“Are you the owner?”
“Oh no.”
“Is the other guy the other owner? I'm just curious, where are all the other guests?" ”
“No, I’m not the owner. We have reservations only for you and must prepare you to meet the owner. No one meets him until they have been through all the preparations.”
“Well, I’m sure my boyfriend made the reservation for two. And since I’m alone, I don’t think it would be wise to stay here alone. What is your name?”
“I’m Blaze, and my co-worker you met earlier. His name is Diamante. What’s your name, pretty lady?”
“My name is Charlize.”
“We only have a reservation for you, and we are happy you came to our resort. We aim to please you by giving you sheer pleasure during your stay here.”
“Well, I don’t think I can stay. I was hoping to use a phone and call a taxi to get back home. Is that possible, Blaze?”
He smirked in a wordless reply. Then he shook his finger at me.
“What does that mean? Can’t I use the phone? Or does that mean I can’t leave this place?”
“Come on, Charlize, do you want to leave? You just got here. You came to us because you wanted what we have to offer you. From a good time to physical pleasure and even eternal companionship. Isn’t this your desire? Of course, it is. And when you are allowed to leave, you will crave it even more.”
“How do you know these things?”
“It was on the reservation request. But let’s not talk about leaving until you experience what you came here for.”
I opened my mouth to protest, but the words died on my tongue. Mentally, I was speechless. How could he know my inner desires better than I knew them? What was happening to me, and what had I walked into? Did Mark sign up for this resort? I thought, looking at the gorgeous, barely dressed man, and I tried to contain the uneasiness I began to feel.
However, he noticed I seemed hesitant about all of this, no matter how strangely cordial the men had been toward me.
"Now that you have enjoyed the finest meal and drink in the most exotic place in the world. I'm sure you would like to get relaxed and be pampered. Though you look stunning in this attire, your precious feet must want to be relieved after traveling so far in those types of shoes." Blaze says, circling me like I was prey. I cautiously moved back into my chair and glanced up at him as he moved around my chair, seemingly blocking me from rising. Blaze could see a slight fear that crossed my face. I glanced at him again, thinking I did not have time for that.
"You have a gorgeous face and body."
"Thank you, I had a great time here. All I want to do is go home. My boyfriend is going to worry about me. I'm sure he will be waiting for me to call him. I don't want him to worry and call the authorities."
"Blaze laughed. "Boyfriend? Is that what he is supposed to be? I don't think so. If he were your man, he would recognize what a gem he has and never have allowed you to escape his sight. Besides, what kind of man lets a woman roam a dark roadway?"
What could I say? Absolutely nothing! He was right! Mark once again proved to be nothing but a conceited, spoiled brat! The worst kind of man ever!
"Just think about what would have happened if we hadn't rescued you. You could have been ravaged by some unsavory creatures out there. But that didn't happen, and we're so happy you made it safely. And you are safe. Look, I'm sure this boring conversation is making you exhausted, as it's making me." He stopped before me, glanced down at me with a smile, then winked, saying. "Let's go."
