Nobody was actually tending the bar, and Aaron got tired of walking around or reaching over it to get what he wanted, so he decided to take it upon himself to mix drinks. At least until somebody told him to leave. Aaron searched around the bar and found an orange and a little pairing knife to cut the orange peel. He glanced up from the task and saw Luka Rossi standing near the bar. “Hey, Rossi,” Aaron said to the Italian prince, a little smirk on his face at the other’s costumes. “Would you like an old fashioned?”

Utter shock and disgust sank into his gut. He felt like he could throw up at any moment. Aaron drank from the mug in his hand and slipped through the crowd gathering at the site of the fire. Spotting the Italian crown prince he’d been looking for, Aaron walked up beside him and looped an arm through his. “A word,” he muttered with a sideways glance. Without further prompting, Aaron started pulling Luka away from the others standing around what was left of the villa, taking him behind a villa and out of view from prying eyes. “What the fuck is going on?” he growled, letting go. “Are Maddie and Laela all right?”

Aaron rolled out of bed and peeled the sleep mask off his face, instantly smacked with bright afternoon light pouring in from his window. The clock read 1300 hours. Damn. Slept half the day. But who gave a shit? Aaron had nothing to do and nowhere to be. That was why he was at the gym until 2 AM last night, wandering the beach until 4 AM, until finally turning in just as the first morning light appeared on the horizon.

“Breakfast” at the canteen was in order, but he thought he’d swing by the villas and see if Mina would join him. As he approached Tommy’s villa, he saw the door open, and Luka Rossi come out of it. Aaron felt that pang in his chest, a visceral reaction that made him instantly angry every time he saw the Crown Prince of Italy. No, Aaron.

“Hallo, Luka.” He nodded at the villa. “Here for business or pleasure? There is a wrong answer.”
