Antonio was sitting at his desk when his phone began to ring. He knew who was calling and without looking, picked up.
"Demetri," he said, enthusiastically.
"We have a problem." Demetri quickly declared, in a serious tone.
"What do you mean we have a problem?" Antonio questioned with concern.
"Analisa shared some information with Zemora."
"Shit," Antonio said aloud. "What exactly did she share?" He charged.
"Something about destiny. Look, I'm not sure of the details because Analisa stormed out of the room during our argument before I got the chance to question her further."
Antonio exhaled loudly with frustration. How could Analisa risk exposing the matter they all knew was to be kept a secret until the timing was right. Especially since Zemora barely knew him and not to mention all that transpired last night.
She wasn't supposed to find out like this. God, he could kill her. But that wouldn't go over so well with his friend, so he quickly dismissed the thought.
"Yeah, me too," Demetri said in agreement, sensing what he was thinking, and knowing his friend would never do that.
"Look, you should come over so we can figure this out," Demetri went on to advise. "We need to find out exactly what was said," he finished.
"I'm on my way," Antonio said before hanging up abruptly. Grabbing his keys, he left his villa and went to go meet them.
*******************
An hour later, he was standing in Demetri's suite. Analisa was coming out of the bedroom as the men made their way into the living area.
Demetri called for her to come sit down so they could question her about what happened.
"So, what did you tell her?" Antonio asked hastily, after pouring himself a drink.
Sitting there under both of their scrutinizing eyes, she knew to fess up and fess up fast.
"Zemora had called me over," she began. Twisting her fingers now, she resumed. "She said she needed to talk to me about something and to come over right away. So I did. When I got there, she seemed unsettled. I thought maybe it had something to do with you." Eyeing Antonio with a nod of her head.
Antonio took another sip of his drink and then motioned for her to continue with his glass.
"At first she was hesitant to tell me what the matter was, and after several minutes of me trying to get it out of her, she...um...she said..." Tripping over her words, she went quiet. She wasn't sure how to tell them the rest of the story without giving out the intimate details of her friend's confession. The men sensed her hesitation, and that's when Demetri said, "Analisa, now is not the time to keep secrets," he warned. "You already told one. You might as well tell another," he finished, sneeringly.
"But I can't tell you guys, you don't understand!" She pleadingly asserted. "Yes, you can and you will," was his final warning. She knew he could find out, and she didn't want to go through that. So, after giving them both the meanest, most resentful look she could conjure up, she proceeded to tell them the rest of the account.
Minutes later, Demetri interrupted her with, "I'm missing the part where you tell her it's destiny," coldly, unfazed by the details she'd just shared. Antonio, on the other hand, was grinning darkly within, showing evidence of his arousal for the briefest of moments. Analisa could relate to his undisclosed arousal when she first heard the details, being reminded of her own experiences with Demetri.
She remembered the all too vivid dreams she used to get and how she was always in a state of arousal, knowing the only one who could quench her desires was Demetri. Analisa quickly sensed early on that she would never be with another man again.
And after their first intimate escapade, it sealed that truth forever. The way he ravished her body inside and out, the way he would make her come with one stroke of his finger after teasing her for hours, and how multiple orgasms would ensue when they'd finally fuck or make love.
The current situation became disquieting as she desperately tried to avoid the sexual thoughts and get to the important part of the conversation.
She snapped out of her reverie when Demetri commanded her to answer.
