OH HONEY

"Only if you make it serious," Skye quipped. She honestly didn't fall into those thoughts. Making things seem more serious than what they were. She was open minded, and this was one of the few places where you could have a conversation without being surrounded by everyone else. Plus, it was comfortable. "Hey," she gave the hair on the back of head a small tug when feeling the pinch on her thigh. "It depends. Love at first sight? Probably not. Lust? In a way, yes. You're incredibly attractive. I'll admit that. There have definitely been a few people where I've been 'wow, I'd totally fuck you'. Who hasn't?" Skye rhetorically asked. As he lowered her onto cushioned area, Skye turned on her side so she could get a better look at Wells. "I'm twenty-six, I'm from Vermont where I'm a middle school teacher. I teach English and also help with the drama department." She let out a soft hum. "What should I know about you?"

The way she pulled at his hair in return made him smirk. Not only was that something he liked intimately but she was already showing she didn't take shit from anyone, which he liked even more. "Well I certainly hope you thought that when you saw me," he smirks as they settle in together. As she shares about himself Wells can't help but grin in disbelief shaking his head before turning to bury his face in a pillow. "Oh my god no fucking way," he laughs as he looks into her eyes. "Um ok you should know that I'm 25, I'm a personal trainer in Baltimore and," he looks around licking his lips considering if this was too much to share upon first meeting someone but he figured there was nothing to lose. "Uh, my parents are teachers. Middle school to be exact. My mom is even an English teacher so this," he gestures between them. "It feels kismet in a way? Like what are the odds ya know? So uh, I already have immense respect for what you do and know that it takes a special person to really teach that age. I'm actually named after an author, well kind of but Orson Welles. Just without the 'e' because my dad was forgetful in the moment." He bites his lip shaking his head. "I probably sound so fucking lame bringing up my parents right away. Not very sex huh," he grins as he blushes shaking his head at himself for sharing so much so fast.

"Oh my god," Skye squealed as he picked her up. Skye wrapped her arms around his neck, not even bothering to look at the other girls that were still around them. She knew that she would end up filling them in after their chat. Skye also knew that all of them would eventually pull him for a chat themselves, but she was going to enjoy this moment for a little bit. "Up the stairs in soul ties. It's basically like a bed up there." She told him, still holding onto him tightly, in fear that he would end up dropping her. "I will say you're getting way ahead of yourself about sharing a bed. We only met like -- five seconds ago."

While he might not be an expert on this show he knows that he'll have to chat with other girls. Or maybe have to kiss or touch someone during a challenge or game. That's fine with him. Right now he's focused on this girl, Skye. "Wow soul ties? Isn't that like pretty serious," he teases as he follows her instructions. "But I'm the one getting ahead of myself." He laughs giving her thighs a soft pinch. "I take it you don't believe in love at first sight or lust in our situation," he smirks when he comes upon the bed area laden with pillows. Carefully he steps onto the bed squatting down to lay her amongst the pillows before laying down net to her. "You okay with this," he asks with a smile reaching to run his hand over her leg enjoying how soft her skin feels. "If so, tell me about yourself." He offers propping his head up with his hand enjoying how gorgeous she looks up close.

A quiet yelp left her throat as the male pulled her closer to him. Definitely not something that she was expecting. She wasn't mad about it. Both touches from him instantly sent electricity throughout her body. The whispering made her laugh, mainly because she knew that it would get picked up by the mics that they were wearing. A shiver ran down her spine as his fingers ran over her lower back. The simplest touch already almost had her melting into him. Skye held onto his hand as he laced their fingers together, giving it a squeeze. "That is the point of you picking me, is it not?" She asked with a tilt of her head, the smile on her lips never faltering.

Even the sound of her laugh made him feel more confident about his decision. While everyone here was gorgeous there was just something about Skylar, including her legs, that hit different. Whatever else was happening faded away. All that mattered was this girl before him. He knew the mic would pick up everything they said but he wasn't going to act differently just because the cameras were on. "True so how about," he smirks before moving to easily pick her up in his arms bridal style. "You tell me where we should go? What's the comfiest place in this villa besides the bed we're going to share at some point." He smirks confident that will happen for them already.

Still holding her breath, Skye stepped around the wall, joining the other girls, only now standing in front of the male. A smile spread across her lips as she met his eyes. He was definitely attractive, but who wasn't on this island? Stepping forward, she finally let out the breath she was holding and reached her hand out to him. "Hi. I'm Skye. It's nice to meet you."

The moment he sets eyes on the girl he chose Wells immediately feels a spike of attraction. No question he picked the hottest girl in the villa. When she gets closer he can't help but bite on his bottom lip as his eyes scan over her body. "Wow look at you," he grins reaching out for her hand pulling her closer into him instead of shaking her hand as she probably expected. "Very nice to meet you," he grins resting a hand on her lower back as he reaches to tip up her chin. Rather than try to kiss her on the mouth he lightly kisses right next to her mouth. "Should we go somewhere and have a chat? Get to know each other better," he whispers running his fingers over her lower back before reaching for her hand easily threading their figners together.

❝   do   you   have   any   idea   what   it   does   to   me   when   you   walk   around   the   apartment   in   nothing   but   a   t-shirt   and   panties   ?   ❞

"I do," Jade smirks glancing at him over her shoulder. "That's why I keep doing it."

"i'm glad." he slowly turns around so that he can face sam some more. his right hand moves up to cup his cheek first, admiring his boyfriend for a moment. "they should feel right at home. that's what this is for them. hopefully this isn't the last time that we're all together too." nikolai slowly moves his left hand up to join him in admiring sam. he moves it around his neck a bit, so that he can bring him even closer. "i'll kiss you whenever, baby." he leans forward and connects their lips for a brief kiss. tender and passionate, but nothing too crazy that's going to make him rip his clothes off of him. for once in his life, he's showing some restraint. then, the blond is quickly pulling back. "i'll get those drinks now. don't miss me too much." he chuckles softly as he slowly pulls away and makes it over to the bar.

The simple touch from Nikolai always makes Sam incredibly weak. A soft breath escaped him as their lips met. It was just enough to hold him over for now. "This won't be the last time we're all together." He whispered like a promise reaching to squeeze Nikolai's hand. As they part he shakes his head. "I'll never not miss you." He admits as he moves into the kitchen to start bringing things into the dining room. That seemed to remind his parents where they were and right away insisted on helping. To which Sam refused insisting they sit at the table while Nikolai brought over their drinks. Once they were starting to eat Sam felt himself startle at the sound of his father's voice asking Nikolai, "What are your intentions with our son?" Sam reached over squeezing his boyfriend's arm. "Dad what are you doing, this isn't some interrogation."

It was too adorable, watching a big, intimidating guy like Sergei, cuddle and baby talk to her cat. Her heart skipped a beat watching him kiss her furry little head. Aurora hadn't had the cat for that long, only a few years at this point, but know that her boyfriend cared about the animal was important. So many guys boasted about hating cats, like it was a weird flex, scoffing at how much she spoiled Fauna. Lesser models clearly. In every interaction with an animal, he was kind and gentle. "Yes, but I'm sure she'll find her way in between us in no time." She replied, fondly rolling her eyes. The spot where Sergei's hand rested on her back tingled with warmth. "Matcha in ice cream is usually a little sweeter because ice cream is inherently sweeter. I know people say they prefer it in desserts over tea because it tastes less earthy." She said, opening the boxes. With his eyes closed and mouth open, a naughty idea struck her. She couldn't help but indulge. Grabbing one of the mango mochis, she swiftly leaned forehead and kissed Sergei, pulling back quickly and popping the little orange ball into his mouth. Then she took her own bite of a matcha flavored one. "Thoughts?" She asked, knowing her grin was very cheeky.

Sergei should have figured that Aurora would take the opportunity to kiss him. Without thinking his hand moved to her lower back pulling her closer before a sudden burst of flavor took over. For a moment he savored it as his taste buds help him discover which one she surprised him with. "Is mango," he smiles as he opens his eyes. "Good, sweet, but I had something sweeter just before that." He smirks leaning into kiss her again immediately tasting the matcha on flavor on her tongue. "Both together very good." He murmurs before connecting their mouths again his free hand moving to the back of her head holding her tight against him as they continue to kiss.

Boris got to his room and smiled to himself. He knew Wells would not follow him right away, as he had said to the other, he knew the other was closeted and he didn't expect that much from him. He stripped from his designer clothes and put some black yoga pants and a white robe over. He also got a glass of whisky and smiled when he heard the knock on the door. "Come in" he simply said.

Upon hearing a voice on the other side of the door Wells walks inside making sure to lock it behind him. When he turns back around he immediately notices that Boris changed his clothes. Now that they're alone and he's seeing just how sexy this man is, the apprehension he felt earlier starts to fade. "Wow," he whispers moving closer not hesitating to reach out placing a hand on the other man's toned stomach. "I feel very overdressed all of a sudden." He smirks as he lifts his gaze to meet Boris' eyes. "Would you prefer I get undressed first or should we get right to it?"

"Hey, that's okay. If that's not what you want to do, if that doesn't work with your relationship, that's alright. I didn't mean to push. I just wanted to give the option if that was something you did want. If you're happy then I'm happy, you know that." Aurora said quietly, hearing the anxiety in Sam's voice. Maybe him and Amadeus weren't like her and Sergei, that was fine. It made her a little sad, because all she ever wanted for Sam was to find someone who could love him completely, but if their arrangement was working, that was good. Clearly they were better at it than her and Sergei. "Oh absolutely! I want to take him to a theme park. I can't imagine how he'd feel about Disneyland, if he hasn't already gone with the team, but I bet it'd be funny." Laughing, she wiped some ice cream off her hands. She preferred a cone over a plain paper cup, but the occasional drip was annoying. Then her expression got serious. "Hey no, we're not doing that! If you don't want to get married because of the institution or the laws or whatever, that's fine. But you are not some monster undeserving of it, or incapable of it. Everyone deserves love and companionship, in a marriage or otherwise. You are not too damaged and I think there are several people out there that would look at you and know you and choose you."

"I mean I want that but I'm not sure if he wants that," Sam clarifies. When it comes to Amadeus there were some aspects of their relationships he found confusing. For now it was still pretty casual rather than serious. Which is why talking about Sergei and Aurora was a welcome distraction from his own relationship concerns. "Even if he has gone with the team, I think experiencing the park with him would be an experience." Of course Aurora still found a way to turn things back to him though. "Maybe but no matter who I get with they have several people to go through before we can make things official. You, my brother, my parents, the guys from college. If someone can make it through all of that then yeah they're definitely companion or marriage material." He laughs softly spooning out the last of his ice cream before taking a deep breath. "Promise if I think anyone is close to being worthy you'll know. Okay?"

The moment Jade feels herself tucked into his embrace she can't help but let down her defenses completely. Right away her head falls into his chest exhausted from fighting her own true feelings for Austin. Now that's he's admitting his own it makes it a lot easier to accept herself. With a slight sniffle she raises her head gazing into his eyes. "I don't want to be here anymore," she admits lightly brushing her fingers over his neck. "Can we just go somewhere? Alone? The last thing I want is to be surrounded by this loud chaos and people I don't care about." She adds before heaving another deep breath. Even if Austin might not get everything he wants from her tonight she hopes he can help bring her some peace. "At least get me home, please." She begs, unaware of how much energy tonight has drained from her body.

So she'd indulge him for a moment by smiling sweetly his way and shaking her head to appease any fears he might have. "You know I'd rather be out with you anyway, don't worry about anyone else. You've got me all to yourself tonight." Once stated, Raya's eyes dropped towards the box and she eased it open with careful grace. A gasp was then torn from her as glittering jewels came into view. A beautiful, dainty, necklace sat before her and she genuinely melted right on cue. "Oh my goodness, Mateo! It's stunning!"

The way he saw a sparkle in Raya's eyes as she opened the box already made his cock twitch in delight. "Of course, only the best for you." He nods enthusiastically. "Not only will it look gorgeous on you in general but it will look even better when you're riding me tonight." The older man smirks giving her a wink. "When you say I'm all yours tonight, I take it you mean all night, overnight. As in I get to take you home and you make me a very happy man." He smirks reaching or his whine glass. "And of course I make you very happy in return. You know I'm not a selfish lover," he adds before taking a sip. "I do hope my intentions were clear on that with the lingerie I sent over after you agreed to see me?" He questions reached across the table gently brushing a finger over the back of her hand.

She hated to admit that jealousy had gotten the best of her, and what was even worse was that jealousy meant that this was now beyond just an affair. That the way her skin itched the moment she saw him walk in with someone else around his arm meant that Sonny was more than just the guy she was currently fucking; but when he mentioned the headlines she knew he was right and somehow it felt like he was comforting her about the whole thing. Jennifer smiles when he compliments her, making it look like they're just two colleagues happily talking. "I have a hotel room booked." She confessed as she twirled a little to allow him to admire the expensive gown and jewelry that adorned her body. "Husband already knows he's going home alone." She said as she leaned in closer.

As his eyes continued soaking in her beauty he tried not to let his face react to what she admitted. "Ok that's good," he smiles gently brushing his finger tips over her arm his eyes quickly snapping to hers at what she said next. "So he knows you're sleeping with someone else then?" Sonny questions curious to know if she has shared anything else. While for him this fun affair could end at any time it was starting to become apparent that Jennifer had started feeling more than just a physical connection. "You must want me very badly if you would go to lengths like that J," he mused grinning as he pulled back to put a respectable distance between them again. For him this was purely sex. If she was willing to implode her marriage for him - he selfishly saw it was a compliment rather than a problem.
