Alexa’s Point of View
“WHAT THE HELL!”
I turned around when I saw the man I hated sleeping next to me. And he was actually lying next to me.
Who else? None other than Phoenix Jackson. And damn! He is topless! He was wearing only his denim pants. How did he get here? How did he know I was here and how did he get into my cabin? I rented this cabin for myself. But how did Phoenix get in? Don’t tell me, this island is theirs too. I know their family is rich, but Phoenix still has no right to intrude on my private silence. I get it that he is an exclusive member, but why the hell is he here inside my cabin, lying beside me?
“Phoenix! Wake up! You are a bastard! How did you get here? f**k! Wake up now!” I hysterically screamed while bugging him. I don’t care if I disturb his deep sleep.
“Tsk. You’re disturbing my sleep!” Phoenix complained and removed my hand that was shaking him.
“What the f**k are you doing here?!” I asked, annoyed, and didn’t stop him. I pushed and pushed him.
Phoenix is just lucky because he’s stronger than me. But if not? He should have been on the floor a long time ago!
Only later did I seem to succeed in waking him up. Phoenix looked at me with a frown, but after a while, a silly smile replaced it. “To f**k you,” he said.
I just rolled my eyes when he said that. His disrespectful mouth is not new to him. I wouldn’t be surprised if he answered me like that. Phoenix, being a womanizer, is already a given fact. What else could I expect from a pervert like him? “I am not joking, Phoenix! How did you know I was here?!” I asked him more.
“I have my ways, woman,” Phoenix growled. It was obvious to him that he was still very sleepy. “Now, let me sleep.”
I looked at the large wall clock hanging near the cabin door. It was almost four in the morning and I didn’t expect that in my good sleep, he would suddenly disturb me. Maybe my husband Peter didn’t ask his brother to interrupt my private time for me, right? Does he really need to watch over me like this?
“Leave me alone, will you?!” I yelled at him, but Phoenix didn’t seem to hear me since he buried his face in the soft pillow.
Phoenix seems to have fallen asleep again.
“Get out of here! Can’t you see? I left the house to get away from you, and then you’re here?” I shouted.
I swear, I won’t really stop until he leaves. I have left the house that my late husband and I own. I left the house that I own because Phoenix wants to live there. And now, here he is. Where am I going? How can I get away from him?
Later, I was surprised when Phoenix suddenly got up. “Why do you want to get away from me?” He immediately asked. I can see in his eyes that he was serious.
I was suddenly quiet. Not because I have nothing to answer, but because I don’t know what to answer him, because there are so many reasons why I want to stay away from Phoenix. And being my brother-in-law, wasn’t it the right decision for me to stay away from him? We are not even close.
“It’s because...”
I don’t know which of my reasons to answer.
Phoenix walked up to me and I admitted that I felt like I was frozen in place and I couldn’t move. “Tell me. Why does my brother’s wife want to stay away from me? Do I make you feel uncomfortable?” Phoenix brought his face closer to mine like it was only an inch away. Just one push from me will have my lips pressed against Phoenix’.
“Get out of my way!” I then pushed his face away from me.
I galloped to the door of the cabin.
Just as I turned the lock on the door, Phoenix spoke. “You’ll beg for my kiss, Alexa. You will open your legs for me wholeheartedly.”
I turned to the jerk named Phoenix and raised an eyebrow at him. “Dream on!” Then I finally left the cabin and decided to look for a restaurant where I could eat breakfast.
MY FEET led me to a floating cottage because I wanted to be alone at first. Honestly, I want to leave this place. I didn’t expect that even though this island is big and wide, he still found a way to find me. I want to escape again, but I don’t know where to go.
I left one place and he’ll follow me. And once I leave again, for sure, he’ll find me. It is exhausting adjusting to Phoenix’ sight. I am tired of seeing him. I am tired of playing hide and seek with him.
I don’t understand why Phoenix is following me wherever I go. With his careless attitude, I don’t believe that he is doing this because that was the order of my husband, who is his brother. I am sure that Phoenix is not concerned about me. He is pestering me.
After a while, I interrupted my thoughts when the floating cottage suddenly quivered. I looked at the entrance and saw the man I was thinking about just now. He was riding a jet ski and immediately crossed from there to my cottage.
I swallowed when I saw Phoenix’ whole body. He is topless and only wears beach shorts and a shade that brings out his beauty.
There is no member of the Jackson family that is ugly, but I admit that Phoenix has the best physique.
Tsk!
I was thinking of him earlier…
“And now you are here,” I said when Phoenix got close to me.
“Am I not allowed to come here?”
It immediately annoyed me when I saw the innocence on his face. But I was running out of energy to fight him.
“I rented this cottage. So you better get out of my sight!”
“Why are you mad at me?” Phoenix asked.
Damn it!
Is he really asking that? Did he seriously ask me why I was angry with him?
I gave him a hard time and stood up from sitting. “Ask yourself that. You and your family hate me even though I have done nothing wrong to you! I don’t know why you are all mad at me as if I killed someone or took something from you! Just because I was Peter’s secretary? What’s your reason? You are so shallow! And now, you are asking me why I hate you. Did I ask you why you hate me?”
“I am mad at you because you did something bad for me.”
I frowned at what he said. “And what did I do?!”
“You’ll find out later. For now, let me eat—”
“Have some respect, Phoenix! Who are you to eat me? Why do you always want to eat me? You and your dirty mouth! You should shut the f**k up! You are not my husband!” I screamed.
Phoenix is draining me! I don’t have the energy to argue with him anymore, but he is really using up all my remaining energy to fight him.
Phoenix laughed for a moment. “What are you saying? I came here for the food. Let me eat breakfast.”
Food.
What? Does he mean that he wants to eat food and not me? God dammit!
I quickly looked away due to embarrassment.
“Fuck.” I cursed.
“Yeah. f**k your imaginations.” And his laughter grew louder.
I glared at him. “I am not imagining things!”
“As you say so.” Phoenix shrugged his shoulders after saying that as if he was still teasing. I was so annoyed that I just turned my back on him. “Where are you going?”
Where else? I would stay away from him. I have no other choice but to stay away.
I rolled my eyes and answered him. “That is none of your business—Ahh!” I couldn’t continue to leave when I suddenly slipped on the slippery bamboo.
Luckily, I was caught by…
“I got you!” Phoenix said, smiling and looking very proud when he caught me.
I pressed my body against his body. And then I felt a strange warmth. Even more so when I saw how Phoenix’ gaze traveled from my eyes to my lips.
“I always dream of kissing you, Alexa. What do your lips taste like?”
I felt a familiar shiver when Phoenix asked me that. I felt my feelings. Am I annoyed? Do I want to push him?
No…
Phoenix’ lips seemed to be hypnotizing me, telling me to put my lips on his. To press mine against his.
But no! This can not be! Phoenix is my husband’s brother! He is my brother-in-law!
“T-This is not right. L-Let me go,” I said weakly.
I left in front of him, and it surprised me when he let go of me. But it surprised me more when he hugged me from behind, causing me to stop walking.
“Why do I see you want to kiss me too, Alexa?” he asked. And God! For the first time, his voice became music to my ears.
I could feel the heat of his breath on my neck, which is why I was terrified. But as long as I am still in my right mind, I want to do the right thing. I closed my eyes and twirled the wedding ring on my finger. I don’t want to lose my control. I shook my head. “Y-You are just imagining things...”
“If I kissed you right now, would you be mad at me?”
Of course… not!
I don’t know… my heart is giving up. My body is giving up. In an instant, in a hug, my perspective changed. I changed my mind. “P-Phoenix...” I said his name.
“f**k it! You want me too, Alexa!”
Before I could react, Phoenix quickly turned me towards him and pressed me with a passionate kiss. He claimed my lips. I couldn’t believe that he was kissing me now, and I allowed it.
‘f**k, Alexa! Let him stop! Let your brother-in-law stop!’
I moaned into Phoenix’s mouth and the young man seemed to take advantage of that to deepen the kiss.
“Close your eyes, Alexa… kiss me back.”
Phoenix kissed me deeply and hungrily. He seemed eager to kiss my lips. And with every move he made on my lips, I moaned. God knows how I wanted to push him away. This is not right, says my mind. But I didn’t have a way to push him away from me, especially since my lips unconscientiously moved little by little to meet his kisses.
I kissed him back slowly, as if my lips had a mind of their own to do that. Our kiss deepened. Every movement of our lips became more passionate as my body gradually warmed up. I can feel the tickle that Phoenix is making to me. I had already lost myself when Phoenix suddenly entered my underwear using his fingers and ran to approach my wetness. I closed my eyes with the pleasure of feeling the warmth of his palm when it landed on my entire delicacy.
“Ohhh!” I started moaning when he inserted his fingers inside my hole.
“f**k!” I heard him curse, so I opened my two thighs more.
“P-Phoenix… ahhh!”
Phoenix sped up his finger in and out of my cave. And I was, even more, aroused when he put two fingers together.
“That’s it, Alexa. Moan my name,” he said while still continuing to kiss me.
“P-Phoenix… P-Phoenix…” I chanted his name while catching my own breath.
After a while, Phoenix stopped what he was doing. It surprised me when he removed two fingers from me and my eyes widened when he licked the juice that coated his finger. He ate it and had nothing left.
My heart pounded even more when I saw his dark aura. “I am the first one who loved you, Alexa. Peter just stole you away from me. I am the one who really loves you. Not my brother, but me!”
We stopped what we were doing when I pushed him away. My eyes widened at what he just said.
What did he just say? Peter just stole me from him?
“W-What are you saying?” I asked, full of nervousness.
“He betrayed me! I was going to confess my feelings for you when he suddenly courted you. I have no choice but to give up. He is my older brother, for f*****g sake!” And when Phoenix said that, my world turned upside down. I don’t know what to feel. I felt numb all of a sudden. My body shivers in shock.
How did that happen?
