Melody Anne [Anne - The Tycoon’s Vacation

You need to understand this real quickly, Mr. Titan,

She said with sarcasm, I will not marry you, ever, she finished and tugged at her arm again. He wasnt hurting her in any way but the grip was firm and he didnt seem to be in any hurry to let her go.

You didnt call me Mr. Titan when you were screaming out my name in passion, he said to her, taking more offense to the formal name than any of her other words. She narrowed her eyes further at him. She didnt need to be reminded of how shed behaved on that island. There must have been something in the water because shed done things there shed never even begin to think about doing in the real world.

I didnt know that was who you were there, she told him.

Youre seriously the most frustrating woman Ive ever had to deal with, he almost shouted at her.

Then stop dealing with me and go away, she yelled back.

They glared at one another, neither willing to back down. They were both breathing hard as the silence drug on. Drew suddenly pulled her up against him and crushed his lips down on hers. She was too shocked to react at first and stood like a rag doll, as his tongue rubbed over her lips, looking for a way to enter.

When she came out of her shock, she pushed against him for about three seconds, before the heat started to pool in her stomach and thighs. She hadnt been kissed like that for five months and her hormones were all over the place with the pregnancy. Her anger quickly changed to an all-consuming passion as his lips continued to stroke hers, while his hands rubbed up and down her back.

Prologue

You dont know what youre missing out on Drew. Ive never been so happy in my entire life. I love you and Ryan like brothers, you know that, but theres something completely satisfying about having a wife and children. It fills a void you dont even know is there until you finally are with your true love, Derek said as the two men sat by the pool, having a drink.

You know, I think Jasmine is about the most perfect person in this universe but marriage just isnt for me. Im a confirmed bachelor. Why would I want to settle down with just one lady, when I can have a new one on my arm every single night? Drew said with a wicked smile. He said the words but even he didnt believe himself anymore. Hed watched his newly married cousin with his wife and felt a tugging for something more in his life. He wouldnt admit that out loud, though. He had a great life and he refused to even think about changing it.

Yeah, well you know I felt the same way until Jasmine came back into my life and now I just think of all the wasted years we couldve been together, Derek said with pain in his voice. His cousin had married his childhood sweetheart but circumstances had kept them apart for ten years and Drew knew it pained Derek whenever he thought about all the years lost.

I think Im so restless because I need a vacation. Ive been working non-stop for years now and I think Im going to pick one of my resorts and just go soak up some sun and lounge around. Im sure I can find a few pretty ladies to enjoy the time with me, he said. He was well known as a playboy. The women he got involved with knew the score and were looking for nothing more than a night with him, so there were no hurt feelings between the couples in the morning.

That had always been enough for him, so he figured the restlessness really was just the fact he was working too hard. The old saying seemed to be quite fitting, all work and no play.

What are you boys up to out here? Jasmine asked, as she walked out, with her beautiful baby girl. Drew immediately held out his arms to take her. She was the most adorable thing in the world and he could imagine himself with a few someday. He had to shake the thought off, since he couldnt have the babies without having a wife. Hed been raised far better than that.

Oh, you know Drew, hes talking about all the pretty ladies, Derek said as he grabbed his wife around the waist and settled her onto his lap. She giggled before bending down to kiss him, making Drew a bit uncomfortable. He cleared his throat, just to remind them he was still there.

Hed never been so head over heels for a girl he forgot everyone else in the room. He was starting to wonder what that would be like.

Sorry Drew, Jasmine said a bit sheepishly, as a pretty blush stole over her features.

Want to babysit? Derek said. He wasnt in the least bit sorry. Before Drew had a chance to say anything, Derek rose from the chair, with Jasmine still in his arms and carried her off through the house. He could hear her weak protests as they got further away.

Britney was looking up at him with her big blue eyes, which he couldnt resist. He blew some raspberries on her tummy, which made her giggle and pat his face.

I know your parents are a bit nutty but you have to love them, anyway, he said to the baby. He didnt feel foolish at all talking to her, even though she had no idea what he was saying. He found himself alone for a very long time before the happy couple came back down to join him.

He raised his brows at his cousin, who just shrugged as if to say, he couldnt help himself. Jasmine apologized for her husbands behavior and took Britney back, so she could get her ready for bed. He reluctantly handed her over.

Im going to take off now, since my presence here is obviously not needed, Drew said with a huge smile.

Hey, you know youre always wanted here, Derek told him, truly meaning it.

I know. Thats why I keep coming back. Im going to take everyones advice though and go on a vacation. Im sure once I get away for some fun, Ill feel much better and can get back to normal, he said.

Dont stay away too long, you know how quickly Britney is growing up, Derek said, as he walked him to the door.

I cant believe how quickly shes growing. Ill be back in a week or so. Im thinking its time to start slowing down. Im realizing traveling isnt holding the same appeal it used to and whenever Im away Im anxious to get back. I think its your wifes cooking. I swear Ive put on twenty pounds, he said, while rubbing his incredibly flat stomach.

I understand. Im going to have to go to the tailor to let all my pants out, Derek agreed, while rubbing his own impressive stomach. Both men looked more like they should be on the cover of magazines, than sitting behind a desk. They shook hands and Drew took off.

He called his pilot and had the jet readied and headed straight for the airport. He knew some sun and surf would wash all his worries away and hopefully the weird thoughts of marriage and children as well. He simply wasnt the marrying kind, not like Derek was. Heck, he could tell when they were still teenagers Derek would be the first to marry and make a ton of kids.

Once he was airborne, he sipped on his drink and laid his head back against the seat. He could feel himself relaxing. Yeah, he thought, this is what I needed. Hed refuse to work for a couple of days and everything would go back to normal.
