Alexandru groaned. He was lying on his back on one of the sun lounges, the two of them enjoying a rare vacation at Alexandru’s secret island retreat. Taking off his dark sunglasses, he looked at his pet in exasperation. She was floating lazily on his private pool, lying on the inflatable bed. Her bikini-clad body made him think of more other interesting things to do than talking about her proposal. “Did we not agree this would be a work-free vacation, pet?” “I know, but it’s just one item. Please, Master?” Alexandru scowled. “You won’t be always to get your way just because you say ‘please’.” “Please.” Dammit, his pet knew he was lying. With a sigh, he dove into the pool, creating a huge splash that had Zari shrieking. “Master, unfair!” When he surfaced from the water, the paper she held was completely wet, the ink smearing and making the words illegible. “Sorry.” He swam to her side, floating in the water. She beamed. “Good thing I’ve already memorized that one item.”
