Chapter 4
FOUR
Armond Davis
I HATE WASTING MY TIME. Hated dealing with insubordinate individuals. Even more so, dealing with ignorant, disloyal, maggots who didn’t know how to stay in their lane.
Dragging DiMarco’s stupid ass across the entire pool area didn’t help the frustration I’d built regarding him.
I could’ve let one of my guards handle him, but he was right there, accessible.
No point in bringing them in until it was deemed necessary.
Though I’d received the call about our stolen products being retrieved, knowing the people on the receiving end of the transaction got a little under my skin.
The deceit was insurmountable and DiMarco was a damn fool.
He would’ve been dead by the end of the night anyhow.
Two of my security guards took over and grabbed DiMarco as I approached my destination.
We made our way to the underground quarters I had at the resort.
I didn’t need a warehouse or discreet dwelling to play out my mission.
I had an entire resort to do what the hell I wanted when I wanted. Even on vacation.
I watched as they tied him up and threw him into a chair centered in the room we occupied.
I didn’t need to do anything but stand there while he pleaded with his eyes but wouldn’t dare say a word.
He knew what this was and there was no need to draw it out with a wordy explanation.
I honestly wanted to throw him in the incinerator and be done with it.
“You chose to go against the devil and look where it’s gotten you, in a soundproof room with his demons. What happens next is on you,” I said.
“You don’t understand…” DiMarco chimed in. I halted his words with a raise of my hand.
I flipped my hand and my men proceeded to whoop DiMarco’s ass.
With each blow that made blood spew from his mouth, I grinned wider while I stared a hole into him.
He would often look at me with such angst, but his swollen eyes were soon closed.
No amount of pleading with his eyes would save him.
He went to the one man who could get a rise out of me, and for that alone, he had to die.
I’d deal with my father later.
Come morning I found myself making my way to the beach since I overheard a couple of ladies speaking about a yoga class they were about to attend. After the night I had, I needed nothing more than to stretch these muscles and push my father out of my mind.
We hadn’t spoken in ages and I wanted to keep it that way. To find out he was making dealings with someone under my wing was not only disrespectful but showed how much he still didn’t understand about his son.
I didn’t play games. I didn’t allow foolery.
There was no way he could assume I wouldn’t handle missing products immediately and not find the source before they left the island.
He was an ignorant, pompous asshole that I now had to deal with.
That alone had my body tense as hell. I wanted nothing more than to relax this weekend like planned and doing yoga on the beach would help that tremendously.
I carried my duffel bag and yoga mat to the secluded beach area and was surprised to see my late-night beauty bent over stretching with a headset on.
She must be leading the class. Surprisingly there were only a couple of ladies here so far.
I must’ve been early. Once she stood and saw me standing a little bit away from her, she froze in place and gulped hard like I was going to harm her.
That was the last thing on my mind and it looked like I needed to do some convincing to make her believe so.
“Hello, beautiful,” I said as I approached her.
“Brandy,” she replied.
“Good morning, Brandy.”
She blushed but tried to downplay how I made her feel.
Her switching from foot to foot let me know she was aroused by my presence and she was giving me the same lustful and intrigued eyes as last night.
Her deep-set brown eyes had me stuck on stupid and I had to gather my wits quickly before she lost all interest.
“What are you doing here, Armond?” she asked after a few seconds of our stare down.
She remembered my name. That was fascinating, after what she witnessed last night.
Whereas I should be alarmed, I simply wasn’t.
Not when it came to her and I needed to know why.
I smirked and she blushed again as she pushed her hair behind her ear.
“I’m here for yoga on the beach,” I replied.
“Well, I can see that with that yoga mat in your arms.”
“Then why ask?”
“To see if you had any other motives.”
I chuckled. “The only other motive I have is to take you out to dinner, Brandy.”
“Dinner?”
“Would that be a problem?”
“No…not a problem, just unexpected.”
“Why so?”
“Why me?”
I couldn’t help but laugh. She couldn’t be serious right now. She was the most beautiful woman I’d ever set my eyes on. Why not her? Those thick, kissable lips and big round eyes were enough to have me rethinking life.
“If you felt any bit of what I felt when we locked eyes last night then you already know that answer,” I replied.
“Well, you were quite taken with me.” She smiled.
She bent over to stretch more, giving me a full view of her plump ass. I couldn’t help but zone right in on it and beg my man below to behave. She was a smart ass and I liked it. I had to focus on that instead of the heat rising in my body. I wanted every bit of her.
“I could say the same,” I finally responded.
“You’re alright.” She giggled.
I stretched my mat out and joined her in the bent over position.
That shit hurt like high hell, but I had to play it properly.
I wanted to impress her and I still couldn’t figure out why.
I should very well be telling her to forget what she saw last night instead of trying to get to know her.
More so, she should be dead. I didn’t leave witnesses.
I grimaced as I stretched to my left and she snickered beside me.
“Looks like you need me after all,” she said as she stood.
She walked behind me and I instantly shot up.
“No, no. Get back down there, Armond. I’m going to help you fix your position so you can get a better stretch. No funny business, I promise,” she explained.
“You can’t stand beside me and show me what to do?”
She giggled before responding. “No. It doesn’t help doing it that way. Like I said, you must trust me, Armond.”
The sweetness dripping from her lips as she said my name had me feeling different and I didn’t know how to process it.
It was warm and rolled right off her tongue like it was only meant for her to say it.
I could only imagine how she would sound saying my name as I pleased her.
How she would say it if I angered her. I was thinking too much for the moment of relaxation we were trying to commence.
“Fine,” was all I could say.
Her hands touched my sides and I felt a surge of warmth cascade through my entire being. I was transformed into a space where only us two were in it. I closed my eyes and exhaled from the comfort she brought me until I felt her bare foot knocking lightly against mine so I could move it.
“Pay attention, Armond. Don’t go to the deep end on me. Spread your legs just a little bit. It’ll help in that bent over position so you can stretch your spine better. You might feel a couple of cracks in there, but it’ll be good for you,” she said.
“Alright. How’s this?” I asked as I did what she said.
“Much better. See, you’re already improving. Now try to do the same as before and tell me how you feel.”
I did as she asked and was able to stretch and wrap my arm around my leg with no problem or pain at all. I looked up at her and she wore a knowing smile. I got lost in it as I stood slowly.
“Aight, you got me,” I said as I turned to face her.
“Mmhmm. I told you. Thank you for trusting me. Hey, guys!” She waved at a few ladies walking up to us and excused herself to greet them. Her smile was wide and genuine and I couldn’t help but understand how much she loved what she did.
“Oh, you like her,” I heard from behind me.
I turned to see a tiny woman staring up at me with a huge smile on her face. She was beautiful too but not like my Brandy. She was a light contrast to Brandy’s bronzed tone with full lips, big ginger hair, and blue eyes.
“And how would you know that?” I asked as I took in her petite frame. She was working it, I must say. Shit, all the women who surrounded themselves with Brandy had nice bodies and pretty faces. She kept good company and I was sure she was part of the reason for those tight frames.
“You’re smitten. It’s written all over your face. Her own ex-husband didn’t look at her like you are right now. If she shows interest, I say go for it,” she expressed.
“And who do I have the delight of learning this information from?”
“Oh, I’m sorry. I’m Marsha.” She stretched her hand out and I took it to appease her.
“Armond.”
“Armond? Like in, the owner of this resort Armond Davis?”
“Someone has done their research.” I chuckled.
“Well, yeah. I couldn’t come to another country without doing so. It’s nice to meet you. The resort is beautiful and the cuisine is top tier.”
“Why thank you. Make sure you leave that review on Yelp,” I teased.
She giggled and I winked as I put my attention back on Brandy. She was making her way back over to us and smiled when our eyes connected.
“Mmhmm. Definitely go after that,” Marsha said, then walked off and placed her mat a little bit away from mine.
I was glad for the distance because I didn’t really like people in my space.
I just tolerated it for the sake of my resort.
The second I left here I’d be distancing myself from people for quite some time, unless it was business related.
“Alright, everyone! Welcome to day one of our Mind, Body, and Wellness Retreat!” Brandy greeted.
Everyone in attendance cheered and shouted in excitement and I couldn’t help but smile. I heard about this retreat and didn’t know why I didn’t put the two together.
“We are here to get our minds right. Keep the norm where it's at and take in the beauty around us. Let the ocean fill us with peace and gratitude and shake off all the bad juju. We’re here to have fun. Dig deep into those body movements and go home relaxed and ready to take on whatever comes. Y’all good with that? ”
Everyone replied in yeahs and woohoos and I even chimed in this go round. This was exactly what I needed to escape and explore myself. Maybe Brandy would be good for me.
Brandy led and I was a good student who tended to distract her here and there.
She caught me staring at her and I winked just to fluster her.
She seemed to like it when I did. She smiled a lot and if I was being honest, I wasn’t sure if she had in quite some time.
I caught her rubbing her cheeks discreetly when she thought I wasn’t looking, talking herself down after we had our moments. It was cute.
She found herself behind me again. This time she wrapped her arms around me and slid her hands down my chest and stomach before stopping right above my dick. She pressed into my pelvis and told me to bend better. I couldn’t help but laugh even though I wanted to grab her and lay her on this mat.
Her touch was everything I needed and I wanted more of it. I wanted her hands on my bare skin driving me insane. I wanted to be between her legs, giving her every bit of this refreshed body until I was so worn out, we’d have to have another of these yoga sessions. I wanted Brandy badly.
“Armond, are we getting a little excited?” she whispered in my ear.
“What do you expect when you’re touching me like that?”
“Good to know that I arouse you, Armond. ” She emphasized my name then kissed under my ear. I exhaled slowly then stood right up and faced her, making sure I pressed against her leg so she could feel all of me.
“You’re treading into deep waters, Ms. Davenport,” I stated.
Her eyes grew wide at the reveal of her last name. I hadn’t done any digging. I simply remembered her name from her itinerary in my email. I had to approve it for her to be here at all. Since I put the two together, I instantly remembered seeing her name.
“Well, Mr. Davis, maybe I want to drown.” If only she knew it was her waves I wanted to drown in.
She smiled wickedly then pressed into me, making sure I felt her center on me. I exhaled at her boldness. She winked at me then stepped off to tend to the other students.
I closed my eyes to gather my thoughts and calm my man down.
I couldn’t walk around all these women and look like a perv.
I didn’t need those kinds of reviews or lawsuits.
I quickly adjusted myself then rolled up my mat.
There was no need to try to get on the ground for a superman nothing or whatever it was called.
Brandy looked over at me and giggled as she stretched her body upward.
Her breasts were spilling out of her bra and I couldn’t help but stare.
They were voluptuous but not overbearing and they fit her physique perfectly.
She licked her lips as she stared at me and I smirked.
I would be having fun with Ms. Brandy very soon.
