Chapter 37: Santorini
Life was good to Marcus and he felt like the luckiest man on Earth just by having Diana. The way her mesmerising skin glowed made him feel like he was in the presence of a goddess, her brown eyes and sweet soft lips made him pull her closer to a deep kiss and then placed his head on her forehead.
"This place is trés chic... the masseuse was amazing, she literally had the hands of golds taking all the knots out of my aching back. I feel so good and almost brand new" said Diana smiling, then she kissed Martin's lips. "Are you alright?"
"Yeah, I'm good"
"You seem a little low, and tensed. Perhaps you should get a massage too"
"I'll take on the offer if you will be my masseuse" he said and obviously he was joking.
Diana walked to the bed in her bathrobe, but she was making turns looking back at Marcus - that was a sign. Marcus was well aware of the sign Diana was leaving for him and he very much obliged, he placed the rosé on top of the table and followed Diana to the bed.
"Take off your robe" Diana ordered while removing her bathrobe, she was totally naked underneath it and she wasn't shy nor uncomfortable of her nudity.
Marcus exhaled "Good heavens! I have never seen a beautiful woman like you before"
"You think I'm beautiful?"
"I think you are a Goddess, what do you prefer - Athena or Goddess of the wind?"
"Who is the Goddess of wind?" asked Diana, then she raised her right leg up and inserted her toes inside Marcus's mouth. "Tell me Marcus..." she said suddectively.
"Her name was..." Marcus tried to speak but Diana suddenly reached out for his mouth and kissed him roughly.
There was something about Diana always wanting to be dominant that turned Marcus on - he was hard already just because she was kissing him, pulling back his hair, and biting his neck. "Take it easy Diana... Ouch!" he complained.
"Why, are you scared big boy?"
He scoffed "No"
"You sure?" Diana ripped off his bathrobe and licked his neck, the warmth of her tongue completely turned Marcus crazy.
Diana went on and on, she was herself with Marcus something which she was deprived of when she was with Jacob. It was always he was on top, and dominant while she had no choice but to be submissive. However Marcus made her explore those parts of her which she decided that they should stay hidden, and few minutes later on she experienced a very powerful orgasm riding Marcus's hard and rigid penis to the point she was trembling.
Diana tried to catch a breath "Oh my God! Shit..." she said still on top of Marcus.
"You like it?"
"Did you just cum inside me Marcus?" she asked.
"What... I... I think... Shit!" Marcus quickly sat on the bed. "I came inside you?"
"Yes, I think you did. Well prepare to be a Dad" Diana made a joke then she collected herself and walked to the bathroom - a highly needed clean up was needed.
It may have been a joke to Diana but it was more than that to Marcus, he kept thinking about the possibilities of him being a father. But at that moment he received a call, he checked his phone and a name "Simon" appeared, he sighed and picked up.
"What?" asked Marcus.
"That's no way to treat your one and only sibling..." Simon's voice came up on the other side of the phone.
"It's midnight Simon, what the fuck do you want?"
Simon chuckled "My bad... it's afternoon in South Africa"
"Fuck off"
"I need some money"
"Call Phoebe you dumbass, I'm hanging up on you"
"Wait, wait, big brother come on... You gotta stop treating me like I ain't shit"
"Okay that's it, goodbye"
"Tony"
Marcus's heartbeat raced for a second, it had been long since he was called by his real name "Tony" and it was weird. For so long he decided to bury that name and take on a new name - this was considered a clean slate for him.
"How many times should I tell you that I'm not Tony? And if you need money call my fucking secretary..." Marcus hissed angrily at his brother then hang up on him.
He tried to stay calm by taking two deep breaths, Diana came back a minute later and they went on and on with the marathon of sex the whole night. At 9:30am they were at the pool having breakfast together without having to worry about work or responsibilities, they checked out during the evening and everyone went to their respective places with a promise of meeting the next time.
Marcus arrived at his house in the hills and found Martin on the couch with snacks all over the table and three bottles of bourbon on the floor, and three more yet to be opened. His body figure totally displayed a grieving man who just lost something of value - or someone he loved.
"Can I join in?" asked Marcus. Martin turned back and looked at him, then he nodded and Marcus took a sit on the couch.
Martin poured a glass of "Sassenach Spirit" and gave Marcus, then poured some for himself. Marcus requested a toast but Martin disagreed, his eyes were glued at the documentary he was watching on Natgeo.
"I never really understood why you always loved this channel Martin. I mean what's so special about these animals?"
"You'll never understand their speciality, just like how you never understood Khloe's" replied Martin without looking at Marcus.
"Martin, I know you liked Khloe..."
"Liked? Liked? I loved her" This time Martin looked straight at Marcus and his eyes were burning with rage "And you... you made me kill her regardless"
"Listen Martin you know the job buddy, you can't get attached to these women I be fucking man... What did we say since day one, no feelings involved" said Marcus dissapointed in Martin and the way he was behaving. "You are embarrassing me Martin. You are embarrassing me"
"Fire me then sir, if I'm such an embarrassment to you"
"Listen Martin, I'm a good guy and so I'm gonna let it go. I'm also gonna let you burry her, or maybe take her to Columbia to her mother if you want - and tell her how you shot her daughter in cold blood. I can go to jail for the rest of my life and I guess your dreams would have come true. But honestly what you do with the body is none of my business"
Marcus stood up, finished his drink and walked to his room looking back at Martin - the way he was sad and sorrowful reminded Marcus the day he felt when Mr Yuin Lavir died. No matter how much he wanted all his wealth and money, still Marcus was sad about his death and hence he decided to understand Martin's situation. "It'll pass, he'll be sad for a day or two. After all Martin and I are the same, we both feel like hell after murdering a person but later on we realize it was important and move past it. I'll have to forgive him, Martin is a friend, a brother, and I love him" Marcus thought out loud and then his phone beeped.
A message popped up, it was from a number he never saved - one of his secret spies. He checked the last digits and sighed, it was the one who he sent to take Khloe's paper at Diana's office.
"Do you want the piece of paper sir?" It read the message. He wasn't in the mood to text, hence he called. For just five minutes they talked, Marcus was mostly asking questions while his secret spy was answering and assuring him that nothing will happen to him while he was under his protection. The piece of paper was sent to Marcus's phone and he opened it. Words written by Khloe to Diana "Marcus Orlando may be a good guy, but you are the best person and you deserve the best. He shot my husband in front of me and if you had a husband, he would be dead by now. Save yourself Diana"
Marcus sighed after reading such words, then he sat on the bed looking at the ceiling up high. He was almost screwed by Khloe, if the paper had gotten to Diana. He must be careful next time and not allowing too much stuffs to pass through - Diana called him and they talked for hours. He was one hundred percent sure that Diana was the woman he wanted, he craved and ready to spend his life with so he asked. "How do you feel about spending a quality time with me in Santorini?"
"Santorini? That's Greece Marcus?" Diana was shocked.
"Yeah it is Greece"
"I... I have work babe. And so do you, how about we plan to go during the summer. It's just a month away, we can wonder around Greece for a week.. or two. Make love in the white sands of Santorini, tell me that's a good offer"
Marcus smiled "It is really a good offer Diana" he replied and they continued to talk for the next hour.
