The week long Retreat had finally came to an end. They stayed few extra days because they were 'busy' but in the end they were able to achieve their objectives. The album was fully fleshed out, he polished it further and already packaged the materials to be sent to ZY Recordings headquarters.
But right now, they weren't worried about that. Past couple of days had been exhausting, especially physically, all four of them were lying on the bed naked. Adele was hugging Kate from behind while Nicole was embracing Samuel.
" I can see that you are awake. You don't have to pretend." He moved Nicole on top of her feeling her smooth body against his skin. Her eyelashes flickered for a second before she opened her eyes to look up at him.
She knew what transpired in past few days but it still felt like a dream. A dream so vivid that she didn't even recognize herself and what she was doing. It was so far away from her normal self that she started to feel awkward facing him again. It's like the fog that clouded her mind was uplifted after a long rest.
" Master...young master.." She hurriedly correctly herself. She had been calling him master so many times that she blurted it out feeling panicked.
He held her down by grabbing her slim waist not letting her escape pulling her face closer to him. After shifting through her long bangs, he looked at her pure blue eyes resembling a clear ocean.
" I don't mind what you call me even if it's by my actual name. Didn't we already established it?" He held her cute round cheek in his palm sweetly looking at her beautiful face. She immediately turned red seeing him stare at her.
" That's not necessary...I was just...I was-" He didn't give her time to talk nonsense and directly kissed her lips. She opened her eyes wide but before long kissed him back. It turned from peck on the lips to a full blown kiss before they separated still connected by a string of saliva.
" You are adorable when you fluster like this." He whispered softly and grabbed her butt to give it a light pinch. She let out a cute cry as her slim figure shook under his touch. But he didn't continue and kept rubbing her arched back.
Nicole smiled and finally calmed down. Her soft tiny hands were grazing over his muscular chest as she laid on it feeling his heartbeat. It was unbelievable how much their relationship changed in past few days, who would have known she would have the pleasure of waking up next to him?
Finally her eye caught the sight of Adele's back as well as Kate's furrowed face, they were lying close to them the only difference was Adele was happily hugging Kate from the side, using her massive mounds as pillow. Kate's face was twitching from time to time feeling heaviness over her chest.
She didn't have much time to think about it because Samuel grabbed her waist and pulled her up to his eye level looking directly into her eyes before asking," Do you still want to leave? I will not stop you if you feel like it's important but I will love to have you with my side from now on." He was grabbing her face rubbing his thumbs over the side of her cheeks.
" I....I don't know. I have to talk to aunt Amanda first." She was worried about what to tell her. They did have long conversation before she left for the retreat. Now she was dreading what to tell her.
" What me to be the one to break to new to her? I can see that you are troubled by it." He added seeing the restlessness in her eye.
He looked at them making cute angry faces at him before he burst out laughing. He was already aware of the extra attention that he was giving Nicole but it was because he thought she deserved it. Kate getting jealous was just cherry on top for him, which was why he would sometime purposefully made it obvious to fish for her reactions.
Nicole laughed along with him covering her mouth to look at Kate and Adele acting like a child for his attention. Seeing that they had been had, they began barraging his chest with punches which did nothing but to increase his laugh's intensity.

Samuel was busy cleaning everything from kitchen to rooms and studio house since Nicole couldn't do it and Kate busy with packing everything, the heavy work fell into his shoulders. He didn't mind it much, cleaning was a relaxing activity for him. He would lost in his thought while only using small part of his brain to keep his hands moving.
Adele and Nicole were only two left in the room, they were having a relaxing bath while talking about benign topics. She was assisting Nicole in bathing her. Kate being about a decade older than them might have forgotten how much toll it took on their bodies but Adele knew. She too was not able to move properly for week after her first time.
" Why did you never mention it to me before? We have been friends for years. Do you not trust me?" Adele asked softly. They didn't get time to talk about it because it all happened too fast. It was their first time being alone like this in days.
" I...Adele..." Nicole didn't know how to answer her. She was still feeling guilty about it almost thinking that she betrayed her trust. Everyone knew that Adele like him, ever since they first met, she would ask Nicole about him because she knew him best.
" I don't blame you for it. I always knew about his shenanigans but I never expect you to fall for it too." Seeing Nicole fluster, Adele hurriedly let her know that she was alright with it. She already accepted it long time ago and was only asking about it because she was curious.
Nicole picked up some courage and began to tell her about everything. Unlike Adele, she didn't really care about others. Her only wish was to stand beside him and support him till the end, like she was doing up until this point. Still she wanted to be a little selfish in the process which she was glad when thinking about it now. She didn't want to regret anything.
Unsurprisingly, it made them closer than ever before. Sharing their highs and lows without any barrier as well as their love for him made them realize how much they were holding back. Minutes turned into hours of them just chatting away.
By the time they left the room, they were happily smiling and teasing each other like they had found their long lost best friend. Nicole also specified not to tell anyone about it yet. Adele was curious so Nicole told her the reason. Despite her finding Nicole's worries was outrageous, Adele agreed to uphold the promise.
Somewhere after noon, they packed up their bags before locking up the place one last time. Samuel also went to find Noah to let him know that they were leaving and to look after the place as much as he could.
They drove off on a four hour journey back home. It was a fruitful week, Samuel was happy but just when they reached the Estate they were greeted with a sorrowful news.
