“Beau, it’s beautiful and so different,” Shona says as I slip the ring on her finger.
“You shine enough my dear Shona, you don’t need a flashy diamond to catch people’s attention,” I say as I return to my seat.
“I will treasure it forever,” she says as she holds her hand out in front of her.
I love you Shona, my everyday girl…
We finish our meal and head back to the hotel because we have to return back home in the morning. We stroll along the sea walk and our arms link firmly together.
“Why Havana Beau?” Shona asks as she gazes out over the ocean and pulls my arm tightly into her body.
“I thought about everything that happened at Tina’s, and the one thing that always came to mind was that damned cigar smoke. It has burned an impression in my mind. And Havana is somewhere close, but also a million miles away from the world we live in now,” I reply.
“So, are we going back to the hotel now?” Shona asks.
“We can do, why do you ask?”
“That four-poster bed, it’s just asking for you to tie me to it,” Shona says with a seductive smile.
We return to the hotel and we shake the four-poster bed until it nearly falls to pieces. I took her and controlled her, and our fucking was as dark as the black diamond she now proudly wore on her finger.

We arrive back at the club before it opens. We decide to take advantage of the steam room and the pool while we have a chance.
“It’s so damned peaceful in here,” Shona says as she wraps herself in her towel.
“Not to mention… steamy,” I say with a cheeky grin.
The room is so humid that I can feel my pores open, and all the traveling and odors from our trip to Havana just flow from out and away from my body.
“It’s a bit warm, I’m gonna jump in the pool,” Shona says as she runs through the swing door.
“Right behind you,” I call.
I enter the plunge pool room and can see as Shona removes her towel. The beams of sunlight from the skylight fall on her naked body as she turns to me and smiles.
“Are we in heaven Beau? Because it certainly feels like it,” she says as she plunges herself into the pristine, clear water.
“It’s pretty damned close,” I say as I drop my towel, my cock already becoming hard.
“Ooh Beau,” Shona says as she leans on the side of the pool.
I jump into the cool water, and my body feels exasperated by the feeling. I make my way to Shona and pin her against the side of the pool.
“You said you wanted to try the pool,” I say as my cock rubs against Shona’s leg.
“I wish, but we open in a few minutes, being naked is bad enough, what happens if some of the girls come in?” she asks.
“They are hookers, they’ve seen it all before, Shona!” I reply in a sarcastic tone, adding a wink to tease her.
“Yes, but not yours, that’s unless there’s something you’ve never told me?” she replies trying to find out if I’ve been faithful.
“Nooo, I have never been with any of the others,” I reply in total truth.
I’m just about to kiss Shona when my cell phone rings from the bench by the wall.
“Damn it!” I say.
“Ignore it!” she says.
“Yeah, fuck it,” I add.
The ringing stops and starts again. It has to be important for the call to come back so quickly. I pull myself from the pool and run to my phone. I switch it to hands-free.
“Hello,” I call into the speaker.
“It’s Joseph, where are you?” he asks with urgency in his voice.
“I am at the spa. I’m just in the pool, you are on loud speaker,” I call.
“Ah, right, I’ll come there, I need to see you,” he replies.
“Sure, I’ll get dressed and meet you here in about half an hour,” I call back.
“Right, make sure you are alone, sorry Shona,” he shouts from the phone.
“How did you know she was here?” I ask.
“She is never far from your side, you pair of love birds you,” Joseph calls with a laugh.
“Fuck you, Joseph!” I say as I hang up the phone.
We meet Joseph at the reception, and he wants to see me alone. He leads the way to his secret part of the basement. The wall slides open, and we enter the large room.
Joseph, you have been fucking busy…
I have not seen this yet, and I’ll be happy to never see it again.
“Jesus Joseph, you have been busy, I can have no part in any of this,” I say.
“Don’t worry, this is strictly off the books, and it’s only me and Conor who knows it’s here,” he explains.
“So, what do you want to see me about?” I ask.
“It’s nothing to do with business, that’s going great. But we now have all the relevant officials well and truly in our pockets. Every one of them loves the club, and they could do with the concessions we are giving them,” he explains.
“So, what is it then?” I ask.
“Ty, I am concerned about him. I thought he was going to be okay; he said he was sorry to Cally about the club, but he seems worse than ever,” Joseph explains, “I thought you’d got him locked up safe and proper,” he adds.
Fuck, I thought we were done with him, too.
“That’s what I thought, and I have no idea how he managed to get out. Christ, I’d arranged for him to be secure and have treatment, but the way he entered the party, I sense that it hasn’t worked. Addiction is hard. Fuck, I don’t know what to do,” I say.
“We have to do something, you know what he is like, if he feels like avenging what we have done to him then there is no telling how far he will go,” Joseph explains.
“Maybe we can buy him off and get him shipped off away from here. I’m sure he might settle for that, you know how much he loves money and nice things,” I say trying to assure Joseph.
I am not sure money is enough for Ty.
“I’m not so sure this time, I’m hearing rumors,” Joseph says.
“Rumors, what sort of rumors?” I ask with concern.
“The wrong sort of rumors… that kind,” he says as he looks into my eyes.
“Where did you hear them from?” I ask.
Joseph looks deep into my eyes, “Everywhere!”
“Fuck we’re in trouble then bro.”
“Yes, I really think so. We’ll have to handle it OUR WAY.”
“Sometimes unlikely is likely.”
Epilogue Shona
Six Months Later
“Life is always what you make it… yummy as heaven…”
My relationship with Beau had gone from strength to strength and I even moved in with him. His house had gone from the bare, barren wasteland he called home, to a place that was full of warmth and love between two people who had found each other in the most unforeseen circumstances.
I could have easily missed you Beau, but that chance meeting on Monday was perfect. Manic Monday was always my favorite day of the week…
Joseph had become quite attached to Cally, and I could see something was going to happen soon if it hadn’t already. She seemed much happier that she was not a working girl anymore. I am proud to call her my friend, and I’m sure we would be friends for a very, very long time.
Business wise, Joseph had his other thing, the one that was firmly behind closed doors. None of us knew what he had going on in there apart from Conor, and he was remaining tight lipped. I did have a concern about it, and every time I asked either Beau or Joseph, they changed to the subject. It bothered both Cally and I as we sat and talked about things while we lounged in the plunge pool.
“So, what about you and Joseph?” I ask.
“Well, I have nothing to say about the looks or his body, he is identical to Beau so you know what I mean… totally yummy,” she replies, “he has some secrets, but they are mainly to do with business, so, I’m not going to ask anymore,” she adds.
r /> “Well, Beau doesn’t even want to be involved with whatever Joseph’s sideline business is. Because that is his baby alone,” I explain. “There is one question they never seem to answer though, and it worries me, a lot,” I add.
“I know exactly what you are going to say, and I feel the same way. I have the same concern,” Cally says.
“Whatever happened to the other brother Ty?” we say together.
We sip our pina coladas and feel like we are on a holiday. A permanent one…
“Oh well,” says Cally, “he must have gone to Vegas!”
“Or maybe they killed him!” I say as we both laugh.
“Killed who?” says Joseph looking seriously at us both like school girls in trouble.
“No one!” we both say in unison.
“Jinx,” says Cally with a wink.
Joseph rolls his eyes and we laugh loudly. There’s a whole two more hours before the customers filter in. We are so lucky!!
“Life is always what you make it… yummy as heaven…”
