Summer's Landing (A Loving Summer Standalone Novel Series): Loving Summer Spinoff (Loving Summer Series Book 9) by Kailin Gow Page A

how that feels to have to watch what you wear
and how you look in the public eyes…been there done that with Astor, and I’m
glad I’ve done that and left that.”
    “Well,
Luis,” Rachel said, “surprised me. You’d think a guy who looks as hot as he does
with all muscles and a body that won’t quit is all brawny, but his place is
nicely decorated. Even cleaner than my place in Beverly Hills. His quarters
were modern with New York sophistication. I think he lived in New York once.”
    “So
his wardrobe?”
    “I
had nothing to worry about. He had a closet full of designer men’s suits like
Armani, Brionis, and even some sleek Pradas. He had every designer men’s shoes
too. Burberry, John Lobb…some Nikes.”
    “Didn’t
expect that of him,” I said.
    “I
was dressed in plain black,” Rachel said. “A black mini dress with just this
gold necklace, and Luis said it was all wrong. Boring. He called up someone and
said he needed a blue silk Chinese qipao and to have it delivered to a room at
the Blue Meridien Hotel. He grabbed his Tumi duffle bag, filled it with things
including his clothes and drove me to the hotel.”
    “Then
what?” I couldn’t help feeling like giggling. Rachel had never been swept off
her feet like some lady before. She usually was the one in charge.
    “We
go up to the room, and he opened the door. There were candles and flowers. I
mean like romantic,” Rachel looked awkward.
    “The
dress was hanging on a hanger, and I said I’ll just change, but he said he
would help me. Well, he did,” Rachel said. “He helped get me out of my dress
alright, with his hands and lips and more…”
    “Rachel…you
and Luis?” I asked.
    “Alright,
I’ll confess to you, Summer, but you can’t tell Nat or he’ll flip since I don’t
want him knowing his men and I…” she looked away, “I’ve had sex with Luis, and
a few other men at Nat’s compound. I can’t help it, Summer. When I see a man
built like Luis…I’m addicted to sex. Been so for years.”
    I
almost dropped my mouth. “You’re okay with that?”
    “I
don’t get attached to any of them. I just have sex with them. I don’t feel
anything else for them,” Rachel said.
    “But
Luis doesn’t know?” I asked.
    “He
knows I just want sex,” Rachel said. “I think that’s fine with him, but now I’m
beginning to think otherwise. The last thing I want is for a guy to start
fawning over me when all I want is for him to fuck me.”
    “I
never knew,” I said. “So this pretending to be a couple thing between you and
Luis tonight?”
    “The
last thing I wanted,” Rachel said.
    “Great,”
I said.
    “I’ll
play along…it’s what I’m great at…acting, but I won’t like it.”
    “Well,
start acting then, Rach,” I said eyeing Luis walking towards us along with
Drew, whom Luis went down to the lobby to get.
    Oh
God, Drew looked like Adonis. His dark hair was swept back and his blue eyes
were glistening with that playboy billionaire confidence. He was dressed in a
black Brioni suit with a grey shirt and blue tie, which matched his eyes. And he
walked into the restaurant with that Drew swagger and style, which had every
woman admiring him, while men looked on with envy.
    Nat
and Luis joined him walking down the center of the room to our table in the
back corner. The three of them were a sight of male beauty to behold.
    “Who
are they?” I heard a woman whispered to her friend.
    “Drew
Donovan, the billionaire who owned Donovan Dynamics. The one on his left is
Andrew Hocking Knight, another billionaire who owned Knight Industries, and the
one on the right of Drew, I think he’s a football player. Don’t know, and don’t
care. I’d take any one of them any day,” her friend gushed.
    Rachel
rolled her eyes.
    “I’m
part owner of Donovan Dynamics, you don’t see people fawning over me for it.”
    “It’s
that billionaire bad boy thing,” I said. “Very popular now since Fifty Shades
of Grey came out. You
