Isabella stared down at Wren’s visible erection through his boxers as though she was genuinely considering his provocative offer.
’Honestly, Marcus always told I was terrible at blowjobs,’ Isabella thought with a wince of rembered embarrassnt. ’He’d criticize my technique every ti and make feel inadequate. I don’t want to disappoint Wren like that too but maybe I could use my hands instead? That might be safer...’
The blonde woman swallowed nervously and finally tore her eyes away from the sight, starting to say hesitantly.
"I... I can use my han—"
Imdiately she was shoved aside as another girl burst into Wren’s cabin without knocking. It was Dani, one of his friends from the group.
The mont Dani’s eyes landed on Wren’s obvious erection straining against his boxers, she literally began drooling.
Her eyes went wide with interest.
"Wren~" Dani said in a sultry voice, taking a step forward. "I can handle that for you if you need help."
Wren sighed deeply, already regretting leaving his door unlocked. "No need, but thanks for the enthusiastic offer."
He walked over to his closet and pulled so fresh clothes from the hanger... a casual button-up shirt and comfortable pants perfect for a spa day then he headed toward his bathroom while calling back over his shoulder to both won.
"Just wait for out there in the hallway or in the room. I’ll join you both in a few minutes once I’m properly dressed."
The shower turned on with a rush of water as Wren stepped inside the bathroom. With that clear dismissal, Isabella moved toward the cabin door to give him privacy.
The sound of running water echoed through the cabin walls as Wren began his quick shower.
Isabella let out a long sigh of relief now that the intense situation had been defused. She leaned against the wall with her heart still racing.
’What the hell am I doing?’ she thought, genuinely questioning her recent decisions. ’What was I thinking just now?’
At this point, it wasn’t even as if she really had a boyfriend anymore. Her relationship with Marcus had been deteriorating for months.
So what the hell was wrong with her? Why had she been so flustered? She’d actually been agreeing to use her hands on Wren like it was no big deal.
’You idiot...’ Isabella ntally berated herself.
The last ti she’d kissed Wren in that dical bay had resulted in Leah walking in and seeing everything. Though the girl wasn’t publicly talking about what she’d witnessed for so mysterious reason, every single ti they crossed paths now, Leah would give Isabella this knowing grin like she’d sohow one-upped her in so unspoken competition.
It was incredibly stressful.
Considering that Leah could expose her for a cheating scandal at any mont with just a few words, it explained why Isabella was constantly on edge these days.
At the end of the day, all it would take was a few well-placed rumors on social dia and Marcus’s rabid fanbase would absolutely go rabid.
Isabella sighed again and brought out her baseball cap from her bag. She closed Wren’s cabin door to give them privacy.
Dani looked at her curiously.
The other blonde woman was wearing casual vacation clothes... denim shorts and a light tank top. Isabella quickly worked her long hair into a neat bun and then placed her cap on top to help conceal her identity.
"Are you perhaps Isabella Leeves?" Dani asked suddenly. "The race car driver?"
That question made Isabella twitch slightly. She’d completely forgotten about Dani being in the room, too lost in her own spiraling thoughts.
"Y-yes, I am," Isabella replied carefully, trying to gauge Dani’s intentions. "Do you have any problems with that?"
At least Dani hadn’t been in the room earlier when Isabella had offered to use her hands on Wren’s situation, or this would have been a much bigger disaster with a witness to her mont of weakness.
"Oh, no problems at all!" Dani said cheerfully. "It’s just that one of my friends... Priya is actually a huge fan who watches all your races. Otherwise I probably wouldn’t have recognized you myself."
Isabella pulled on her face mask as well to complete her disguise, though her eye twitched with mild annoyance at that comnt.
First it was Wren who sohow didn’t know who she was, and now this girl was saying she wouldn’t have recognized her either? Did these people live under a rock or sothing? How could they possibly not know her face when she was constantly in sports magazines and comrcials?
Still, Isabella forced herself to smile politely behind her face mask.
"I hope to et your friend Priya under more favorable circumstances soti. But I actually have plans to go sowhere with Ren-Ren today, so—"
"You guys are going to the luxury spa facility, right?" Dani interrupted excitedly, bouncing slightly on her feet. "Why don’t you tag along with all of us instead of going alone or with just Wren? All of us girls are planning to go to the spa together as a group while the guys go on that treasure hunting adventure thing around the island."
Isabella vaguely rembered reading sothing about that treasure hunt activity from the island information materials.
The treasure hunt map and initial clues had been included in all of their Ivory Island welco pamphlets when they’d first boarded the ship.
It was apparently a special promotional event where if you gathered all the scattered clues hidden around the island and successfully found the treasure chest buried sowhere in a secret location, the winner or winners would receive approximately three million credits as prize money... a life-changing amount for most people.
Not only that, but there was also supposed to be another mysterious personal gift from Isabel rrett herself... the incredibly wealthy woman who owned the Celestine cruise line and was currently vacationing sowhere on Ivory Island for the duration of their stay.
Isabella had been planning to find the treasure together with Wren after they visited the spa, making it a fun friend’s activity but it seed like those plans wouldn’t be quite that simple now.
However, she would definitely pick going to the spa in a group rather than dealing with her manager right now. Whatever that controlling woman was scheming and planning, Isabella wanted absolutely no part in it.
She sighed and nodded.
"If Wren is fine with joining your group, then sure, I don’t mind."
Dani imdiately turned toward the closed bathroom door and yelled loudly.
"Hey Wren! Do you want to go to the spa with all the girls, or would you rather go treasure hunting with the guys first?!"
"Treasure hunting...?" Wren’s voice ca from inside the bathroom, sounding confused. The shower turned off. "Wait, what? No, I’d much rather go to the spa and relax. Treasure hunting sounds exhausting."
Dani looked back at Isabella with a casual shrug and a grin.
"Guess you’re stuck with us now, huh?"
Isabella adjusted her cap and smiled despite herself. "Sure, sounds good actually."
’It’s been a while since I’ve had a proper spa day,’ Isabella thought with genuine anticipation. ’I hope this resort’s spa lives up to the luxury reputation and Wren ntioned yesterday that he’s never been to a spa before... I can’t wait to see his reactions and hear the sounds he makes during his first professional massage.’
...
The group had split up outside the resort’s main plaza area, with people naturally dividing based on their interests.
Toby adjusted his glasses with an eager calculating grin and addressed the other guys who’d decided to join the treasure hunt.
"Gentlen, I’ve done so preliminary analysis of the clues and the island’s geography. I’ve calculated that there’s approximately a 32% chance we actually find that three million credit treasure if we work together efficiently and use logical deduction. Those are surprisingly decent odds for this kind of thing!" He turned specifically to Wren with enthusiasm. "So what do you say... you coming with us on this adventure?"
Wren shrugged his shoulders apologetically, already knowing his answer.
"Nah, I think I want to hit the spa first and actually unwind properly. You guys have fun treasure hunting though."
Toby and Zach both imdiately shook their heads in exaggerated disappointnt, playing up the drama.
"What a weak man," Toby declared dramatically, putting his hand over his heart.
"Completely dosticated already," Zach agreed with an exaggerated sigh and a laugh. "Choosing spa treatnts over adventure and riches!"
Wren rolled his eyes good-naturedly at their teasing.
"Look, if wanting to take a relaxing break after literally almost drowning a couple days ago makes weak, then I’ll very happily be weak. You guys go have fun playing treasure hunters without ."
Derek, who had been standing quietly nearby, started to speak up hopefully. "You know, actually, I think I might want to joi—"
However, before he could finish that sentence of defection, the other boys imdiately grabbed him by both arms and started physically dragging him away from the girls.
"Oh no you don’t, buddy!" Toby said firmly, his grip surprisingly strong.
"You’re the only one in our entire group who can actually read a topographical map properly!" Zach added insistently. "Your geography classes are finally going to be useful! You’re coming with us whether you like it or not!"
"But guys, I really think the spa sounds—" Derek protested weakly as they continued pulling him along the path.
He looked back desperately at his girlfriend Priya with pleading eyes, silently begging her to save him from this fate.
Priya just waved at him with an encouraging smile that didn’t quite reach her eyes.
"Have fun with the boys, babe! Good luck finding that treasure... I believe in you..."
The mont Derek had turned away and completely disappeared from her line of sight around a corner, Priya’s cheerful expression imdiately faded. She let out a small, frustrated sigh as her lips pressed into a tight line of annoyance.
’So not only does Leah want Wren,’ Priya thought with growing annoyance, ’but according to what Leah told , that mysterious girl in the mask who keeps following him around also wants him too. Why does everyone suddenly want Wren so badly? What changed?’
Regardless of her complicated feelings, she kept walking forward with the group.
Wren was currently walking alongside Diana, offering his arm for support. It had only been a little while since her ankle injury, and though it had healed remarkably well, he still couldn’t help but assist her just to be absolutely sure she didn’t hurt herself again.
Diana blushed at the gentlemanly attention.
She hadn’t seen nearly as much of Wren over the past few days as she would have liked, with everything that had been happening on the ship but she was genuinely glad he still cared enough about her wellbeing to help her like this without being asked.
The group of girls... Wren, Diana, Zoe, Dani, Priya, Leah, and the disguised Isabella made their way through the beautiful resort paths until they finally arrived at the massive luxury spa building.
"Woah," Dani breathed out in awe, staring up at the impressive structure. "This place is absolutely huge!"
"It’s like a palace," Diana agreed, her eyes wide as she took in the elegant architecture with its white marble columns and flowing water features.
"I’ve never seen anything like this," Zoe added, equally impressed by the sheer scale and obvious expense.
Leah smiled knowingly at their reactions. "Ivory Island offers the absolute best of the best when it cos to luxury experiences. This spa is world-renowned as people fly here specifically just to visit this place."
The group entered through the ornate main entrance with their footsteps echoing on polished marble floors.
The reception area was stunning... high ceilings with crystal chandeliers, tropical plants in huge decorative pots, and the subtle scent of lavender and eucalyptus in the air. Soft instruntal music played from hidden speakers.
A professionally dressed woman behind the curved reception desk looked up as they approached with her smile bright and welcoming.
"Good morning! Welco to Ivory Island Luxury Spa. Do you have a reservation?"
Before anyone could answer, another attendant hurried over and whispered sothing urgently to the receptionist. The woman’s eyes widened slightly as she looked over their group with new interest.
"Oh my!" she said with surprise and delight. "You must be the special guests. Lady Isabel rrett herself has personally organized a private VIP suite for your group on the top floor. It’s our most exclusive treatnt room."
Everyone in the group exchanged shocked glances at that announcent.
"Wait, seriously?" Dani asked in disbelief.
"The owner herself arranged this?" Zoe added.
Isabella’s mind was racing behind her mask and cap.
’Who in this group is important enough that Isabel rrett would personally arrange VIP treatnt for them?’
Her eyes shifted over to Leah, who was smiling mysteriously and not looking surprised at all by this revelation.
’Is Leah actually Isabel’s daughter?’ Isabella wondered with growing suspicion. ’That would explain the special treatnt and Leah’s confidence about the facilities. Why else would the owner care about a random group of young people?’
"If you’ll all follow ," a spa attendant said with a professional smile, "I’ll escort you to your private suite and give you a tour of the facilities."
The attendant led them to a private elevator that required a special key card to access. They rode up in comfortable silence as soft music played.
When the elevator doors opened on the top floor, they stepped into a hallway that was even more luxurious than the main reception area... It had thick carpeting, art on the walls and doors made of rich dark wood.
The attendant unlocked a set of double doors and gestured for them to enter.
"Welco to the Ivory Suite, our most exclusive VIP experience."
The group filed in and imdiately started gasping and exclaiming at what they saw.
The suite was enormous... easily the size of a large luxury apartnt. The main room contained seven professional massage tables arranged with plenty of space between each one for privacy and movent.
Floor-to-ceiling windows offered a breathtaking panoramic view of the turquoise ocean and lush island landscape below.
In one corner sat a large jacuzzi tub that could easily fit eight or more people comfortably. Another section featured a private steam shower with multiple adjustable shower heads and aromatic mist options.
Plush seating areas were scattered throughout the space with elegant side tables holding fresh tropical fruit, bottles of champagne on ice, and crystal glasses of sparkling water with li.
"This is insane," Wren muttered, looking around in genuine awe.
The attendant smiled at their reactions.
"The suite includes full-body massages, hot stone therapy, aromatherapy, scalp treatnts, and unlimited access to the jacuzzi and steam shower. We have several professional therapists assigned to your group for the day."
She gestured to two doors on opposite sides of the suite.
"Those are your private changing areas... ladies to the left, gentlen to the right. You’ll find robes, slippers, and lockers for your belongings inside. Please change and then feel free to start with the jacuzzi or steam shower to warm up your muscles before the massage treatnts begin."
The attendant gave a small bow. "I’ll return shortly with your therapists. Please make yourselves comfortable."
With that, she exited and closed the doors, leaving them alone in the incredible space.
The group split up as instructed... the girls heading toward the left changing room while Wren walked toward the one on the right.
Inside the won’s changing area, the space was just as luxurious as the main suite. Individual changing stations with curtains for privacy, full-length mirrors, plush benches, and a whole wall of fluffy white robes and slippers in various sizes.
The girls began removing their bags and shoes, starting to change into the provided spa robes.
As they started undressing in their individual stations, Zoe looked over at Isabella, who was still wearing her cap and face mask despite being in a private changing room.
"Hey," Zoe called out bluntly. "I know you’re that brute’s friend or whatever, but you should at least show us your face at this point. Are you really that big of a celebrity that you need to hide?"
