“Issy did that.”
My eyes widen. “Does Issy know what you like in the bedroom?” The look of disgust on his face tells me that’s a no. “You can change it if what they give you is not what you want,” I reassure him. He looks relieved. “All staff wear a black band that indicates they work here, which you might need to know especially if they are naked.” Those hazel eyes widen. “There’s pink for if you’re into girls, blue for playing with boys, white for no intercourse but everything else is okay, red if you are happy for intercourse, yellow for playing with one person only, green if you are into enjoying multiples, purple if you don’t mind playing in public.” Which I give him a smirk at.
Felix shakes his head. “I don’t normally let puck bunnies blow me in clubs.”
“And orange if you would like your encounters to be behind closed doors. You will see staff around the resort that have just black, but some will have black with multiple colors and that is what those colors mean.”
“The staff, like, just stop working and fuck you?” he questions me.
“Yes.”
He stares at me in bewilderment for a couple of moments and then gives me a deliciously dirty smirk. “Think I’m going to like this place.”
“You’re going to have so much fun. But you must memorize the colors of the bands because the club and resort are very big on respecting people’s boundaries. All this can’t function if people don’t follow the rules. And the first and most important rule is respecting the bracelets. They help when striking up conversations with people. Also, the safe word isParadise.Once that is uttered in a situation everything stops no matter what.”
“Am I going to need a safe word?” he asks.
“Depends on what you’re into,” I add. Felix nods. “They’re really the main rules. Also, in all food areas like restaurants and bars, you must wear clothing, everywhere else, it is optional. No one wants to see your balls at dinner.”
This makes Felix burst out laughing. “What happens if my balls look good.”
“I’m sure they do, but the only balls at dinner I want in my mouth is caviar, darling,” I say, giving him a wink. “This place operates like a normal resort except for the extra activities you may see around the place. You can play tennis, enjoy a cruise, bike ride around the island, spend all day doing nothing, or enjoy eating at all the restaurants. You can have as little or as much sexual activity as you want. Not everyone here comes to sleep with people, others come to watch or be watched or just play as a couple, oh and the spicy massages.”
“They massage with chilies?” he asks, looking horrified.
I giggle. “No, with a happy ending.”
“You can get those?”
“Um, yes and they are the best. Also, you can have more than one person working on you if you wish.” His eyes light up at that. “Wait till you get to your bungalow and find the tablet that lets you order all your fantasies to your door.”
A wide smile beams across his face. “I can’t believe a place like this exists. I’m going to have the best time.”
“You most certainly are.” We continue walking along the dock.
“Do you go to these places often?”
“Not to the resort but to the clubs, yeah, when I’m single. It’s easier than swiping on an app and much safer, too, if I need a fix.”
“And, um, are there like many of these clubs back in New York?” he asks.
“There’s one in the city. There are many around the world. There is a full list located on the tablet inside your room. I know the owner is launching a yacht series, too. I went to a bachelorette party in Monaco on one and it was so much fun.”
“You know the owner?” he asks.
I nod as I bite my bottom lip and point to myself. “I’m a silent partner,” I confess to him. Those hazel eyes flare with acknowledgment. “Due to my family’s name, my brother and I had to invest silently into our friend’s business.”
“Wow. That is …” he tilts his head and looks at me, “is that how Issy was able to get me in so quickly? Because she knows you.”
“I’m assuming she spoke to my brother as I didn’t know you were coming.” He nods. “Look, I want you to enjoy yourself, and I can see there’s a bit of tension in those shoulders there. You’re safe here to enjoy everything the resort has to offer. You don’t have to fear the paparazzi finding out. We keep a tight ship.”
“I don’t need another scandal. I’m already on thin ice with my new team,” he explains.
“My father is on the board, he’s a lifetime member or something. My family’s hotels are one of your team's sponsors.”
“Your surname is Rose?”
“Yep.”
