Despite the uncertainty in the air, Sloane did not want to disappoint his colleagues, the end of year party weekend was happening. Especially since the dominants have been planning and preparing for this event for months. It was a celebration for all the work everyone has done in the past year. A grand gesture for every single member of the executive floor, the only celebration which combined the day and night shift.

It was a good chance to disconnect from all their problems back home. Off to another private island in Europe. Since the dominants planned everything, Sloane let Seth pack his suitcase for the suitable weather. Of course the costumes were all dealt by Cameron so if Sloane only had a sparkly thong then there wasn't much he could do but wear it. All they knew was the theme was 'The midnight ball under the dancing moon'.

There was only one request Sloane made, and he knew Cameron was reliable in that regard. He remembered all the rush that came with planning the Halloween party. But now that the end of year party was all being organised by other people it was like a free vacation.

Seth had also made a special request of his kitten. And Sloane wondered if it was something he could pull off to please his Master.

All Sloane needed to focus on was that in a few months, he will marry the love of his life. And every step they took was headed in that direction.

They didn't get up to any more sex before the trip, though Seth was promised it would be worth the wait for later. Still, Seth kept his eyes on the prize, he had his arm around Sloane's waist, playing on the fabric and tapping his fingers along his thigh. It always sent shivers over Sloane's body. He too was impatient for the plane to land.

They were on their own private plane and this time together. They had a few hours left of the flight and Sloane didn't waste a second looking away from Seth. The Chairman was apologetic, he took his work laptop with him when he was supposed to be relaxing with Sloane.

"I'm sorry kitten, I just want to make sure all is ready for the next meeting, you know it's the day after we get back." Seth said as he made more corrections to his files. "I'll be back at the office on the Monday by lunch time. So just try not to think about it too much." He closed his laptop and put it away, taking Sloane's hands and kissing his knuckles.

"I know, I won't attend the next meeting this time. But there are still things I should let you know. I'm sure you know the businesses Samuel ventured into. I was there when he was building his connections. He had very... unethical methods. Most of his supporters were blackmailed or bribed. Even one of those files contain all the information about me. The last vote was really close, if he found anymore dirt on your supporters. You may lose this Seth. I know where the warehouse was built. Samuel spent millions on it, I know he wouldn't have moved it. If we destroy everything in that warehouse, he would have nothing on you." Sloane took Seth's hands, pleading with him to give this idea a chance.

Seth paused, looking into Sloane's eyes. He was weak to his submissive's persuasion. "It won't come to this. But if it does I can send some men to look into the area. Where is it?"

"It's south east of the mainland. But I have to be the one to open the door..." Sloane looked away. "When he first showed me that place, he saved my finger prints on all the access points. There is a risk he might have changed it, but something tells me he didn't."

"I'm not risking you on something so uncertain. Please don't make me do this." Seth held Sloane. "Can you trust I have other cards in play? I know we all want this to be over. I promise I won't let him take you."

"I'm uneasy, because I love you. And I don't want to make any more wrong decisions." Sloane said. "He's been involved with nuclear weapons, and one of his main backers is a very wealth foreigner. He gains favours just to collect them for this purpose. You may have won the first vote, but I'm not sure about the rest. You don't know what else he's capable of."

"I'd rather lose this competition and run away with you then let him have you. That's how much I love you."

"I know Seth, but I want to be free, I don't want to be looking over my shoulder fearing he's coming back." Sloane held Seth. "Promise me, we will do everything to make you win. He's not a normal person. So many people will get hurt if he goes into power. We need to consider all our options."

"Okay, don't be upset anymore. I will listen to you." Seth conceded, he rested his head into the nape of Sloane's neck. "Kitten, when you're mad at me I feel so anxious." Seth held Sloane.

"I'm not mad." Sloane said quietly. He kissed Seth, neck to lips, his hands cupped Seth's face. "This situation is just so infuriating."

"Just promise me, you will keep the ring on at all times." Seth said. "I didn't want to ever bring it up as I hoped we won't be needing it. But you know the line of work that comes with being the head of the family, and as my spouse, you would be vulnerable. If you keep your ring on, I will find you."

"Okay, I promise." Sloane kissed him once more, "I think we have both been under a lot of stress." He moved to straddle Seth, kissing him along the neck and biting his lips. "I don't think I can wait until we land. I love you and I want to show it now."

When Sloane stepped out of the plane, he realised all the short comings of planning the Halloween party. There was a red carpet leading to horses and a carriage like they were royalty. The staff were dressed to match the medieval fantasy of footmen to send them to the palace for the ball. Each person was given a card and told not to share the content with anyone including your partner/s. There was an orchestra greeting them from afar like it was taking them away back in time. In the horizon, Sloane could see a beautiful grand castle with bright floating lights and the moon soaring in the sky. And fireworks like a garden of lights. The festivities had already begun.

As they sat opposite each other in the carriage, their luggage was loaded into the back and the carriage whisked them away. The whimsical and romance tensioned theme of the party had the night shift written all over it. Sloane took a deep breath before opening the handwritten letter which had a red seal.
