When we got to Vermont, we drove onto a path, and on both sides, there were tall trees full of blue delphinium flowers.
“Wow, this place is beautiful.”
“Just like you mon amour, we’re a minute away from my house.”
“Really, where? all I see are trees ahead.”
“You’ll see.”
He turned left on to another path, and the outline of a castle began to appear.
“Is that a...a castle?”
“Oui, I’ll be right back, I just have to get the gate to open.”
The moment he got out of the car, I called Mila.
“Alana! Where are you? I’ve been calling you all night. I stayed up till 4am waiting for you, what’s going on?!”
“I don’t even know where to begin.”
“I seriously thought something had happened to you. I called Dylan, the hospital, and Dr. Bonlen. They all said you clocked out.”
“I’m in Vermont.”
“Ver...what?!”
“It’s too much to explain over the phone, I’ll be home in a week.”
“Alana, it’s me, you can tell me anything. Are you in trouble? I’m really worried.”
“I promise I’m fine, everything is okay, he’s coming back to the car. I’ll call you later.”
Watching Kane walk back to the car made my body heat up. There’s something about him that turns me on, or am I confusing this for how Kayden makes me feel?
He parked near a lake behind the castle.
“You can’t possibly live in this huge castle by yourself.”
“This is my favorite one.”
“Favorite one? Meaning there’s more than one?!”
He opened the car door and walked me inside. The interior of the castle was even more breathtaking.
“My God...wow!”
“I’ll give you a tour later. Now, let’s get you out of those scrubs. I’ll run you a bath.”
He held my hand through the long heavenly halls. I couldn’t stop looking at the beautiful art on the ceilings and walls. I was amazed at the little tiny details carefully painted in every art piece, “If I lived here, I would never leave.”
“I only come here for some peace and quiet, to clear my mind,” his voice echoed through the halls.
I was already falling in love with the castle.
“This is your room, mon amour.”
“Right in front of the lake, this room is way too big for one person.”
“May I help you take off your scrubs?”
I waited for the sensible part of my brain to kick in, so I could give him an excuse and decline, but there was no objection. I wanted to feel his hands on my body. He looked at me with those penetrating eyes like the night we met, which has now become my weakness.
“Yes, “I replied.
He took off my scrubs and slowly walked around me in circles, lingering his fingers on my arms, breasts, stomach and back. He lingered them on my inner thighs, and I immediately covered them with my hands.
“What’s wrong, your body is parfaite, why hide it from me?”
He noticed half of the scar on my inner thigh and gave me a hug, “When you’re ready you’ll tell me, oui?”
He took my hand and walked me over to the bathtub and sat me in it. I felt so insecure, but every part of my body he touched with the sponge, and the way he worshiped my body with his hands made me feel beautiful. He lingered the sponge around my n*****s, and licked his lips when he saw how hard they were getting.
After the bath, he carried me to my room, “Wait, I have nothing to wear.”
“Check the closet.”
I opened the walk-in closet door, and was stunned by all the glamorous expensive outfits, bags, shoes, accessories, perfumes and jewelry.
“These are all my size...how...how did you...”
“My assistant got everything when we were on our way here and she’s really good at guessing sizes.”
“Your assistant has good taste.”
“Get dressed, mon amour, and I’ll see you soon.”
“Where are you going?”
“To make you breakfast.”
Is it possible that I’m dreaming or has my endless nights of staying up to study finally caught up to me and now I’m having some kind of psychotic delusion. I felt like I was living in a fairy tale.
I knew I had to call Mila back before she sounds the alarm to my parents.
“Hi babes, I know I have a lot of explaining to do.”
“Alana, what’s going on?”
“Kayden is not Kane.”
“What?”
“The rich billionaire has a twin brother, Mila, and it was the twin brother I’ve been spending time with these past couple of months.”
“There’s two of them!” Mila yelled in excitement.
“Yes, unfortunately.”
“What do you mean by unfortunately, one for you and one for me, duh.”
“Yeah...that’s going to be a little complicated.”
“Why?”
“Because they both want me to give them a chance. Kayden wants me to be his, and I’m in Vermont with Kane.”
“I mean, I've been telling you to add a little spice and excitement in your boring life but this...God-damn Alana!”
“I don’t even know what I’m doing here Mila, but there’s just something about Kane and there’s also something about Kayden...ugh this going to get messy.”
“Yes, it will but until it does, I say enjoy this ride while it lasts. You have two handsome billionaires who want you Alana, relax and enjoy the ride.”
“Coming between two brothers is just cruel.”
“May the best man win! “Mila laughed through the phone.
After getting off the phone, I realized that I had no choice but to live in the moment. I'm already here in Vermont with Kane; I might as well enjoy this little vacation and ignore my guilt. I haven't gone on vacation since I was ten, and I needed a break from all my exams. Maybe coming to Vermont is a good thing, I finally get to sit back and relax.
After finally deciding on which expensive hoodie and sweatpants to put on, I could smell something good roaming the air as I got closer to the kitchen.
“My God, you made all this?”
“Sit down and dig in, mon amour.”
“Are you a chef?”
“When Mama was pregnant with my sister, her cravings were intense. I learned to cook, so I could make her whatever she wanted.”
“Aww, that’s the sweetest thing I’ve ever heard. Uhmm...where is your sister? Kayden would always avoid answering that question.”
“She’s dead,” he replied.
He had the same excruciating look on his face as Kayden did when I asked him. It’s better to not ask any further questions right now.
“This is delicious! You have to teach me how to make these fluffy pancakes.”
“I’ll give you a cooking lesson tomorrow morning. Enjoy the food, I’m going to freshen up, and you get dressed when you're done eating. We only have an hour left before we start heading there.”
“Heading where?”
With excitement in his eyes, he kissed my forehead and shouted, “You’ll see!”
I took pictures of my special breakfast and sent it to Mila. Then Kayden began to call. It would be a bad idea to pick up, but I knew he was very worried about me.
“Beautiful, how are you? How are your parents? I hope everything is alright.”
“Yeah, everything is fine, I just wanted to see them before they travel.”
“I can’t wait for you to come back so I can finally take you to dinner.”
“How are you feeling? Is your wrist still feeling sore? And have they given you your morning meds yet? Also, remember to practice your breathing exercises, and...”
“See, what would I do without you, I miss you so much. I’m still waiting to be discharged, and the soreness is much better now. Hurry up and come back!”
“I will...see you soon.”
The guilt began to settle in, and I knew I needed to leave. If Kayden finds out the truth, it will crush him and, in the state he’s in, he could end up in a worse condition...because of me. I have to get back to New York.
I wondered the halls, “Kane?”
“I'm in here, mon amour,” he called out.
I walked into a master bathroom as Kane came out of the steamy shower dripping wet. He was completely naked. I don’t know why I gasped at his perfectly toned body because he had the same exact body as Kayden. Both brothers had the same tattoos in the same exact places as each other.
“Alana…”
I wanted to turn away but the way he looked at me, I felt drawn to him.
“Come,” he signaled at me with two fingers.
His words literally moved me, the urge to submit to him aroused me. I want him, and I can’t help it. I moved closer to him, as he lingered his thumb on my lips. I went down on my knees and put him in my mouth. He grabbed my head and pushed himself deeper into my throat. I felt myself getting wet between my legs. With very moan, I swallowed him deeper and deeper until he came in my mouth.
I can’t leave, not yet...not when I want more of Kane.
