Nestor's heart pounded loudly as he stood with Ariel outside the resort gate. He knew why he felt nervous—because of Carmela. He really didn't want to be affected by the strange feelings he had for that woman. But no matter what he did, he couldn't stop it. And he was frustrated with himself because of it.
Ariel was the one who rang the doorbell. In a few moments, a uniformed maid opened the gate. She briefly left them and returned to usher them in.
"Wait here; Ma'am Carmela will be down shortly. I'll prepare some drinks for you," the maid said before turning away.
"We're so lucky. Don Martin's daughter will be joining us," Ariel expressed his delight in a hushed tone.
Nestor didn't respond. During those moments, his overwhelming feelings took precedence. It intensified even more when he heard the light and approaching footsteps.
"Good evening," Carmela greeted them with a smile.
Nestor truly stood there, momentarily transfixed and seemingly out of himself, upon seeing her.
The word "beautiful" falls short of doing justice to how enchanting she looked in his eyes. She was captivating when he saw her by the beach earlier in the morning. But now, up close and facing each other, she seemed like an angel descended from the heavens.
Her lips, painted in a shade of red, looked incredibly inviting. He imagined how delightful it would be to kiss them. Her hair was a cascade of beauty he wished to run his fingers through. All these emotions were entirely foreign to him. Painful as it was to admit, he felt them only for Carmela. Not even for Victoria, whom he had been with for five years.
"Good evening, Ma'am," greeted Ariel.
Carmela nodded and smiled, shifting her gaze between him and Ariel.
"I'm Carmela," she introduced herself, extending her hand to Ariel, which he accepted.
"I'm Ariel, Ma'am," he replied.
Carmela nodded again, turning her attention to him. Following Ariel's lead, she offered her hand. Initially hesitant, he contemplated accepting. But when Ariel nudged him, he quickly extended his hand to shake hers.
"Nestor," he softly uttered.
"Nestor," Carmela repeated, emphasizing his name.
He found himself locked in a gaze with Carmela, as if that was all he was waiting for, giving him the courage to meet her eyes.
"Oh, by the way, please have a seat," she gestured towards the garden set they had occupied earlier with Ariel.
After a moment, the housemaid returned, carrying a tray with two glasses of orange juice.
"Papa should be the one to talk to you, but he's currently discussing matters with our lawyer, so I volunteered," Carmela began.
When neither he nor Ariel spoke, Carmela continued, sharing more of her thoughts.
"If we happen to like your service, you might become one of our regular suppliers until our restaurant-hotel and resort open. And if you have acquaintances, feel free to refer them to us," she added.
"Oh, Ma'am, the people here in Eldoria will surely be thrilled with your plans," Ariel enthusiastically chimed in. "Right, Nestor?" he asked.
Nestor nodded, still finding it challenging to take his eyes off the beautiful woman in front of him.
"If it's alright, I can accompany you tomorrow to meet more local fishermen," he surprised himself with those words. But he knew he couldn't take them back, so he let them hang in the air, standing firm in his decision.
"Sure, no problem," Carmela readily agreed.
She escorted them to the gate of her house. Meanwhile, Nestor tried his best to conceal from Ariel the overwhelming joy he felt during those moments.
"Tomorrow afternoon, after I've taken care of my catch, I'll come back here to introduce you to more locals," Nestor promised Carmela.
She simply nodded in response, and then they left.

"Is she beautiful?" Victoria asked while she was busy combing her hair.
The woman had just taken a shower, and her fragrance filled the air.
"Yes, but of course, you're still the most beautiful in my eyes," he replied truthfully.
Nestor admitted that Carmela was beautiful and that he felt something special from the moment he first saw her. However, he knew he had to uphold his commitment to Victoria, who had been with him for a longer time. Most importantly, she was the one he truly loved and who loved him in return.
Victoria turned to look at him, giving him a skeptical glance. Nestor smiled, quickly grabbing her arm and pulling her close. In doing so, Victoria stumbled and fell onto him.
Nestor immediately felt Victoria's fragrant breath, a familiar scent that had always intoxicated him for the past five years. That, coupled with the fact that she smelled so good, quickly heightened his senses.
"I love you, Victoria," he whispered, sealing his words with a passionate kiss on her lips.
*****
The kiss had a swift effect on Victoria. Despite being together for five years and having been intimate multiple times, the intense desire she felt for Nestor remained unchanged.
As a woman, she knew exactly how to make him happy, and she didn't resist when Nestor gently laid her down on the bamboo floor of their hut, where they rolled to change positions.
"You're still the most beautiful in my eyes, Victoria," he whispered, his hand reaching for the towel covering her body. He removed it, exposing the allure that he knew captivated him.
"Nestor," she sighed when she felt his warm lips beginning to touch her skin.
Victoria closed her eyes tightly, allowing Nestor's gentle kisses to explore her entire body. She knew that he wouldn't settle for just that, and as Nestor continued his exploration, she could confirm her anticipation.
Nestor first focused on her bosom, but while doing so, he accompanied it with tender caresses in the most intimate parts that she knew were already drenched with desire.
"Mmmmnnn…" Victoria moaned as she felt a spine-tingling bite from Nestor at the apex of her bosom. Only the candlelight illuminated their surroundings at that moment, as, like before, the electricity had gone out. But for someone deeply in love like her, the smoke from the candle added an even more passionate and romantic atmosphere to the environment.
"I love you so much, Nestor," she declared as Nestor seated her on his lap.
She saw the intense gaze Nestor directed at her face. Afterward, he kissed her lips fervently, and after a few moments, she couldn't wait any longer. She took the initiative to unite their bodies.
In Nestor's embrace, Victoria began moving in rhythm with the melody playing, a tune audible only to both of them. They exchanged soft sighs and moans of pleasure as a result of their intimate connection.
*****
Nestor tightly held Victoria's slender waist as she skillfully moved in rhythm with his lap. He truly loved Victoria, that was the truth. He didn't want any room for doubt in her heart regarding his love for her.
"Ohhhh… Nestor… Mmnnnn…" Victoria moaned as Nestor once again sucked on the tip of her left breast, teasing it with his tongue.
He knew she was close to climax with her rapid movements. And he was right. In just a few moments, he heard her suppressed and controlled moan, a signal of her release.
This was the moment Nestor had been waiting for. He didn't waste any time. He quickly laid Victoria on the bamboo floor while keeping his weapon inside her cave. Then, despite still feeling the warm liquid she was released, he resumed the interrupted battle.
This time, he began delivering successive and powerful thrusts that once again made her scream. He kissed her passionately while maintaining the intensity of his punishment, continuing the relentless pounding until they both crossed the other side together.
