All River said was, “Fuck.”
He was on me like a lion on steak pushing me back onto the bed while his mouth was on every part of me bringing me to orgasm at least twice before I could finally get dressed and finish my hair and makeup.
For the finishing touch, River fastened his mother’s diamond star necklace on my neck. “How can you look prettier each day?”
“River,” I playfully pushed him.
“I’m serious, Summer, you get prettier and prettier each time I see you.”
“And you are becoming less arrogant, less of the bully you were when I first met you.”
“That’s because you changed me, Summer.”
“Alrighty then,” I said. “Let’s go see your grandfather. If my cheerful yellow dress doesn’t cheer him up, then maybe some of my jokes will.”
“You don’t have to even go there, Summer. Seeing a pretty girl like you can cheer up any old soul.”
“Then let’s go,” I said, heading to the door.
River was already there to open the door for me. He then reached down to hold my hand. “I can’t wait for two of my favorite people in the world to meet.”
We walked down the tunnel until we entered a large indoor atrium filled with flowers, an outdoor table covered with a linen tablecloth and a spread of breakfast food.
“This is so beautiful,” I said. “I wasn’t expecting a colorful lively garden in a space-aged wellness resort. And in an atrium, too. So beautiful.”
“That’s because, bright colors, fresh air, and wide open spaces tend to help people get better faster,” a booming familiar male voice said.
I turned towards the voice to see an old man in his 70s wheeled in by one of his men to the table set up with breakfast dishes.
Max Millions.
At age 70, he looked about 10 to 15 years younger. Still a good-looking older gentleman, with a strong jaw, piercing silver eyes and now silver hair, he and River shared a strong resemblance.
“Grandpa,” River said, walking over to his side and patting his shoulder. “You’re looking so much better.”
“I’m feeling better, thanks to our guest,” Grandpa Millions said.
“Summer Jones, Grandpa,” River beamed. “My girlfriend from school.”
I came over to shook his hand and greet him. “Hi, Mr. Millions. I heard so much about you. You’re a true inspiration.”
“Not only is she very pretty,” Grandpa Millions said. “But she’s sweet and smart. I like her already!”
“Thank you, Grandpa Millions,” I said. “I’m so glad you’re feeling better. When River had to miss school, we all became so worried.”
“Come, Summer,” Grandpa Millions said, indicating the seat next to him. “You’re a breath of fresh air. I didn’t think River had it in him to choose such a sensible girl as his girlfriend.” He looked at the diamond star pendant I was wearing and said, “Seemed like you two are pretty close.” He looked over at River who sat down on Grandpa Millions’ other side. “Why didn’t you tell me about Summer earlier? It would have made me so much happier and at ease knowing you have someone special with you.”
“Well, it took me a while to convince Summer to become my girlfriend,” River said.
Max Millions raised his eyebrows. “Uhh? So she wasn’t so taken by your fortune and good looks? I’m impressed.”
I laughed. “No, River is definitely very good-looking, and I was initially taken by his looks, but you have to have more than looks to amount to something in life, don’t you?”
Grandpa Millions laughed a big hearty laugh. “Yes, yes, that is so true!”
“That explains why Summer is so driven. She’s top of her class, school ambassador, now a VP in Student Council next to me, and the best player on the women’s volleyball team,” River said, proudly.
“What accomplishments,” Grandpa Millions nodded. “Shows River didn’t just fall for your looks too.”
“Her looks alone would have gotten me,” River said. “She’s the most beautiful girl at school. No, I’ve ever seen.”
“Seems like a lovesick puppy, doesn’t he?” Grandpa Millions whispered to me.
“More like a bulldog,” I said.
Grandpa Millions laughed out loud. “So you’ve seen that side of him.”
“Yes,” I said. “And unless he’s changed, there was no way I could become his girlfriend or even a friend.”
“There you go, River,” Grandpa Millions said. “Integrity. Something many kids like you who grew up with a silver spoon and never worked a day in their lives while flaunting the wealth they themselves didn’t make…don’t have nowadays.” He turned to me and said, “I like you, Summer. You’ve got character and spunk. You’ll be good for my grandson. You’ll make a man out of him.”
“Grandpa,” River said. “I’m already a man.”
“A real man,” Grandpa Millions said.
River looked confused.
Grandpa Millions patted his shoulder and said, “Don’t worry, it will make sense to you one day. I’m hoping soon. The scare we had with me just now proves we need to get you more prepared to run the company one day when I’m not around.”
“I hope that day never comes,” River said.
“It’s inevitable, Grandson. No matter how much Max Millions Enterprises have tried to find the cure for aging, for everything. We strive to help the human body live beyond its potential.”
“I get it,” I said.
“You’re a bright one, aren’t you?” Grandpa Millions said.
“I try to be,” I said. “I’m a bit interested in medicine and science myself. I think I might go into the medical field. Get into USC and then Med School after high school.”
“Listen to that, River,” Grandpa Millions said. “I would be proud to have a granddaughter like you.”
River smiled at me, his eyes full of adoration.
“Look at my grandson,” Grandpa Millions said. “He can’t keep his eyes off of you.”
“Oh, but he loves you dearly,” I said. “So, get better soon. River was so worried.”
Grandpa Millions patted River’s hand and said, “Don’t worry so much about me. I’m strong as an ox. Remember when I was your age, I already won a couple of Mr. Olympian medals.”
“Olympic medals,” River said.
“Yes, those too,” Grandpa Millions said.
I laughed. “You must’ve looked like River.” My eyes swept over River’s body. He really was perfection and sexy like sin.
Grandpa Millions laughed. “Yes, I was a looker. Had those pretty girls throwing themselves at me. Oh those were the days.”
“I bet you have some really good stories to tell about the good old days,” I said.
River rolled his eyes. “Don’t get him started.”
“I could tell you stories after stories, but River’s heard them all and he would be bored out of his mind.”
“But I haven’t heard them,” I said.
“Someday, Summer, I’ll tell them to you. Or River could. But today I need to get more rest and get better. It was delightful having breakfast with you and getting to know you. My grandson’s in good hands if he has such a smart and beautiful woman in his life.”
He indicated to one of his men to move him, and Grandpa Millions was wheeled away.
River moved over to sit next to me. He grabbed my face and kissed me. “I’m so proud of you, Summer,” he said. “You were so charming and adorable. Grandpa Millions already loves you.”
“He’s such a sweetheart, too,” I said. “I’m so glad to see he is looking so well.”
River was smiling wistfully. “I guess it means we’ll head back to Malibu unless you would want to stay at the resort longer.”
“I want to but I have stuff to do at home. Besides all of the school activities I’m part of, I still have to teach acting classes at my aunt’s acting academy.”
“Yes, I almost forgot that, Summer,” River said. “I’l
l take you back right away.” He pull out a phone and said, “I need you to get the jet ready. I have a special guest so make it nice.”
*****
Within half an hour, River drove me to a private hangar where we boarded the Max Millions private jet.
“How long would it take?” I asked.
“About an hour,” River said.
“But it seemed so long to get here.”
“That’s because I wanted to throw you off. As if you were part of some top secret mission. I thought it would be fun.”
“River!” I admonished him.
He laughed. “I wanted to see you wear the blindfold. You were so willing to trust me even when blindfolded. God you were so sexy. I have fantasies of you being blindfolded and willing for me to make love to you in all kinds of way.”
“If you’re good,” I said, looking at him seductively. “Only if you’re good, Riv.”
“I’m always good,” River said raising his thick eyebrow.
“Now you are…” I said. “So you took me on a wild goose chase when we were actually only an hour away from Malibu by plane. Are we in Arizona or Nevada?”
“Boy you’re good,” River said. “We’re in Nevada.”
“Well I figured what’s a good place for a wellness resort about an hour away from La La Land by plane, and well it had to be in the desert so either Arizona or Nevada.”
“You should join the special forces,” River said.
“Well my mother is in military ops and strategy,” I said.
“That’s where you get it,” River said. “We’ll have incredibly beautiful and bright children one day Summer.”
“River!”
“Just wishing,” he said. “Just hoping and wishing.”
He sighed. “Guess you don’t have to continue being my girlfriend now that my grandfather’s met you and is better.”
“Maybe,” I said. “Only if you’ll accept that I might be open to having more than one boyfriends?”
“Who with?” River asked, frowning.
“I don’t know yet, but I don’t know about being with you only.”
“Touche,” River said. “I’ll have to think about that too, but in the meanwhile, I still want to see you.”
“I want to see you, too, River. I don’t know if it means we’re still girlfriend and boyfriend or lovers or something else.”
“Then be my girlfriend still,” River said.
“Until your grandfather is completely well then.”
“Agreed,” River said.
And so the charade continued on…
Chapter 6
Summer
I spent the rest of my weekend teaching at Aunt Sookie’s Acting Academy and going to a volleyball team practice.
It was nice to just spend the rest of the weekend working or being part of an all-women’s team instead of with guys who were making me so confused.
But when Monday came, I was called into Principal Lee’s office.
I wondered why. Was there a new student?
I couldn’t think of anything else that would get me to the Principal’s office until I walked in and saw Dante sitting in front of Principal Lee’s desk.
“Hello,” I said walking in to sit in the chair next to Dante’s.
Dante’s eyes were on me. Unreadable.
“Oh there you are, Summer,” Principal Lee said. “Dante and I were just chatting about your role with him on the Board of Trustee meeting.
I almost forgot about that.
I almost forgot that Dante had paid for the tuition for a classful of students to attend Hidden Falls Academy up for at least 10 years. He had literally bought Hidden Falls High Academy, and now sat as one of the Trustees of the school.
I looked over at Dante, dressed in a black Armani silk suit, a white shirt and green tie that matched his emerald eyes looking like a prince. Why did he need to have a meeting with me here instead of privately since we’ve become intimate? Weren’t we that close already?
As if reading my mind, Dante said, “Thank you for this meeting, Violet. I wanted a witness to officially note that I am appointing Summer Jones onto the Board as a Student rep, and also as my right-hand Advisor.” He turned towards me and asked, “Would you accept this position? Can you be by my side during the meetings? I could really use your help.”
“Dante,” I began. I felt like a broken record for repeating my concerns, but I had to say it again. “I want to, but I don’t know how I can fit anything more into my schedule, and…”
Principal Lee spoke up. “The meetings will be held during lunchtime in our conference room next to my office. It shouldn’t take up any more time since we will be eating lunch during the meeting.” She smiled. “You have to eat lunch, don’t you?”
Dante turned to me and smiled. “It’s just one lunch time per month. Something you can managed, can’t you, Summer?”
“Well,” I began.
“We’ve managed to give you a stipend for the meetings too,” Principal Lee said. “Since you will be recording the minutes and working, you will be paid as well. We’ve made a special arrangement for you because Dante insisted.”
“A stipend?” I asked. “Like in an internship?”
“Yes, we can call your position that if you want, but Student Rep on the Board of Trustee would sound better in your college applications,” Principal Lee said. “It’s a stand out credential in a sea of student applications with stellar credentials. Trust me, it’s very rare.”
I looked over at Dante, and could see the sparks of light in his eyes. He was enjoying this…
I finally smiled and said, “I guess I have to accept the position.”
“Told you!” Principal Lee said to Dante. “That’s how you get Summer to finally accept this position.”
“You two…” I said. “Plotting and planning like a bunch of gossiping hen mothers…”
Principal Lee laughed. “Dante came to me to ask me to help him with this, and well…I know you, Summer. I know you couldn’t pass up this opportunity.”
“You’re right, Principal Lee,” I smiled.
“See?” Principal Lee said to Dante. “Anything else you need me to help with?”
Dante stood up and said, “Nope, you pretty much handled everything here. Now, if you weren’t principal here, maybe you’d accept my offer for you to work at Black Biotech? I need someone like you there. My director Karen doesn’t quite get it, like you do. Like Summer here, too.”
“Nah,” Principal Lee said. “I love my job and everyone here. I plan on retiring from this job someday, not that I’m close to retirement age…”
“No, still young,” I jumped in.
“Radiant and youthful,” Dante smiled charmingly.
Principal Lee blushed. Like a schoolgirl. Now how did Dante make a harden tough gal like Principal Violet Lee blush said a lot about his charm. “You two,” Principal Lee said. “I can see how well you two get along. A good match. That’s why Dante was so adamant about having you be his right hand advisor.”
“We do match very well,” Dante said walking with me to the door. “I just hope Summer can see it too.”
Principal Lee made a happy surprise look before fanning herself. “Aww to be young again…”
“See you!” Dante said, taking my hand in his as we walked out.
When we were outside the administration building, Dante turned to me and said, “Come with me.”
“Okay?” I said, walking with him.
He headed to the area near the music room where a group of workers were painting the side of a wall.
To a building that have not been there before…
“What?” I asked. “When did a new building just pop out of nowhere?”
Dante grinned. “Like it? I had my guys come to Hidden Falls High to put it up over the weekend. It’s actually an extension to the music room building.”
“What is it for?” I asked.
Dante took my hand and led me through the thick oa
k doors of the new building and into an upscale modern contemporary executive office, a small kitchen, a full bath and shower, and even a living room with full entertainment system set up. It was like a complete luxury suite. “This is my office,” Dante said. “On campus.”
He closed the door and pushed my back against it before claiming my mouth with his. His hand reached down to delve into the front of my panties where his fingers began to rub my folds. His cheeks leaned against mine as he growled into my ear. “Where we will fuck.”
I was moaning, “Dante…oh yes, Dante.”
He rammed two fingers into me, thrusting until I was panting with need.
“Where we will work closely together as Trustee and my Advisor,” Dante growled, ramming four fingers into me now, stretching me.
I was arching my back.
“Won’t anyone disturb us here?” I asked.
“Nope. Hidden door. No one but us would know this place exists. And the building will be blended into the existing building. Camouflaged and covered up.”
“I kinda noticed this part of the building was blending into the old, but it’s still visible,” I said.
“While in construction,” Dante said. “The guys are almost done and are putting up the finishing touch. Soon you would think this building had always been part of the existing one.”
“So why do you need this office?” I asked.
“To have a place of convenience to fuck you while on campus,” Dante said. “And believe me, I will fuck you hard, and I will fuck you thoroughly. You will crave me fucking you like you crave the air you breathe.”
“So sure of yourself?” I asked.
“Yes,” Dante said. “Damn sure of myself.”
“That just made you so much hotter,” I admitted.
“Good, because I could feel how ready you are. You are soaking wet, Summer.” He licked his lips. “You being so wet just made me expand so hard.” He took my hand to place it inside the front of his pants down his boxers to his hard flesh. I was touching his root and feeling how smooth and engorged he was.
“Want to feel me in you?” His voice had grown deeper, huskier.
His hand kept my hand on his root, moving my hand so I was pumping him.
“Ahhh,” he let out a groan. “You fucking make me so hard.”
