Chapter Nine
Rachel hurried towards the nearly deserted beach, her normal self-consciousness nearly forgotten. Guy had given a wolf whistle when he’d seen her try on her red bikini this morning, assuring her that Ben would fall to his knees when he saw her. Just a few weeks before, she wouldn’t have dared to step foot outside of the apartment in a one piece bathing suit without a wrap, much less a bikini. But Ben made her feel…womanly.
He made her feel wanted, and gorgeous, and infinitely beautiful. He praised her lush curves, enjoying her voluptuous figure with such abandon that she felt guilty for daring to cover herself after their lovemaking. It was something she missed with him, something she never experienced before or since they were together. It was glorious, liberating, and extremely arousing to know she could make Ben want her with just a swish of her rounded hips.
Making her way towards the beach, she thought of the handful of assignations they’d had, of how sexually fulfilling they were, and how incredible it was to be with him again.
It wasn’t just sex, though the sex had definitely been awe-inspiring. It was also the times between, when they were simply together, talking, sharing jokes, exchanging stories and memories. She wasn’t sure if she would have been able to continue with the ruse if he hadn’t opened up to her. But those moments were too precious for her to walk away from.
As if her thoughts had conjured him, she saw him sitting in front of the water, his body bare save for his dark swimming trunks. Smiling to herself, she waved her hand over her head and called to him. “Ben!”
He turned when he heard her. Slowly he stood, his bright green eyes going over her body with his heated gaze as she ran toward him.
“Oh, I’m so sorry I’m late. I went to visit Pietro’s mother and the baby and I lost track of time.”
“Don’t worry about it. I haven’t been waiting too long. How are your friend and her baby doing?” He took the wooden picnic basket from her hands and placed it on the peach striped blanket.
“Wonderful. I can’t believe how tiny the baby is. I mean, my cousin Jack was little, too, but he’s so big now…” Her voice trailed away as she thought about the people she’d left behind.
“It must be hard being so far away from your family,” Ben said. “When you were with the Giana LaRussa troupe, you were at least able to see them a few times a year.”
Rachel took his statement as a chastisement for leaving, and felt resentful. He was acting as if she’d bounced on the bus of her volition, carelessly tossing her family to the wayside.
“Yes, well, as I recall I didn’t actually have much of a choice about whether or not I really wanted to join her troupe. I was forced to make a decision without being able to research it properly. I was never able to sit and consider whether or not I wanted to travel so much or put up with her temper.
