Is this destiny?

Aiden twisted open second beer bottle, and it was under pressure. Foam surged out and covered his left hand which was holding the green bottle. He moved the beer to his right hand and shook his left to get the liquid off.

Sarah watched him look at his hand for a second, as if he is thinking how to clean it up, before putting a finger in his mouth… Probably to lick the beer off his hand. He lifted his gaze and their eyes met.

'Oh, my Greek God! He is so sexy!'

She was right next to him, and somehow… his index finger moved from his mouth to hers. She didn't taste beer from the bottle she was holding, but the one from his finger tasted very good.

Aiden closed his eyes for a second and enjoyed the feeling of her mouth around his finger. Her tongue did similar movements to the ones she does when she goes down on him, and he thought that she never looked so seductive… sucking on his finger while maintaining eye contact.

By the time she moved to clean his middle finger, they were seated, and Aiden's right hand was moving over sofa in the area where he remembered that there is a secret compartment with a remote.

"A bit lower…", Sarah instructed.

He felt a rectangular area and pressed on it. The drawer popped open and he took the remote.

Sarah pressed few buttons, and few seconds later fourth wall was down.

Aiden pulled Sarah closer, and she straddled him.

"Any cameras?", he asked between kisses.

"Disabled.", she was pleased that he thought about it.

He waited for that confirmation before his hands went under her dress.

~ Hill family villa ~

It's few minutes to midnight. Sarah and Aiden are in the car, parked in front of Hill family villa.

"Why do you have so much cash?", Sarah was looking inside large paper bag he gave her.

He grinned. "We played poker."

"Impressive. It almost makes me want to play against you."

"We should play." He wanted to do many things with her, but she would rarely agree if they are not in the same team.

She shook her head, rejecting the idea.

"Are you afraid that you might lose?"

Sarah grimaced, slightly irritated by his childish attempt to provoke her. "I'm not afraid. I know I will lose, because I can't play seriously against you."

It took him a second to come up with an idea. "Not even if we play strip poker?"

She laughed. "That might work."

Sarah's phone alarm went off. It was midnight.

"I need to go." She disabled the alarm and kept the phone back in her purse.

Her fingers touched an earpiece. "Oh, I almost forgot. This is for you."

Aiden looked at the black earpiece in her hand and paused.

"You can pair it with your phone, it's a Bluetooth earpiece with this addition…" She pointed at the button. "This will connect you to Eve directly."

Aiden gave a small nod. He knows that this is the same as the one she is wearing. "Is this for tomorrow?"

"Yes. I would appreciate your help with managing security tomorrow. Eve will be watching, and like this both of us can respond. And it's not just tomorrow. It's yours to keep."

"Thank you." Aiden took the earpiece from her palm. He knows that it's just a small device, but he was touched that she decided to share Eve.

Aiden gave her a long lingering kiss.

"I really need to go.", she whispered in his lips.

"OK." He kissed her again.

"See you tomorrow." Sarah didn't know that it will be this difficult to move away from him.

"Today.", Aiden corrected her. It was past midnight, so they will see each other 'today'.

She smiled. "Today."

"Take this." He gave her paper bag with his winnings. "Keep it somewhere for me."

She nodded. "OK. Good night."

Sarah walked out and didn't get inside. She was one step away from the entry door when she turned and looked at him in the car.

Aiden lowered window to the passenger seat. "I'm not leaving until I see that you went inside."

She gave a small wave and reluctantly turned toward the door.

Sarah closed door behind her and leaned on it while subconsciously clutching edge of the paper bag. She didn't move until the sound of his car drifted off in the distance.

…

Sarah was in her pajamas when she entered Sophia's room.

"You are late!", JoAnna scolded her.

Sarah stuck her tongue out. "Only few minutes. I needed a shower before coming here... Are we doing something?"

JoAnna glanced at Sophia. "This one is sleeping off. Let's just quickly go over plan for tomorrow and call it a night. We have a busy day ahead of us."

JoAnna's loud clap startled Sophia awake.

"How are we on security?" JoAnna looked at Sarah.

Girls divided that Sarah watches security and to make sure everything runs smoothly from that side, while JoAnna handles guests and logistics related to the event. Stella is in charge of catering and entertainment.

Sarah gave status from her side: "Jeff said that dozen of his men will arrive first thing in the morning, and about ten more later in the day. With our regular security and guys from Stella's side, we will have enough to secure whole property. Other than that, Eve is watching. That is from the outside. For inside, all guests are verified and there is only one variable, and that is Felix's mother. We don't know who her +1 is, and we don't know how she will react when she meets her ex-husband with his happy family. But we will keep a close eye on her, so that she can't cause a commotion… You got what I asked for?"

"Yes." JoAnna handed her a box. "There is one set for you and one for Aiden."

Sarah smiled. "Great! How are things on your side?"

JoAnna shared her status. "We are on track…"

After about fifteen minutes, they finished with updates. Everything was as planned.

Sarah and JoAnna were about to leave Sophia's room, and left her few reminders.

"You just relax and enjoy on your beauty sleep, we got everything under control.", JoAnna kissed Sophia's forehead.

Sarah also gave Sophia a kiss. "Mmm… my last kiss to Sophia as a non-married person."

Sophia frowned slightly. "If you put it that way, it makes it sentimental."

"It is sentimental.", JoAnna smiled. "It's a wedding! It's all about emotions."

"Good night, big sis. Keep your phone away.", Sarah noticed that Sophia's phone is on her pillow and wanted to keep it on the side table.

Sophia grabbed the phone and held it protectively. "I promised to Felix that I will text him before sleeping off."

Sarah and JoAnna left Sophia's room laughing.
