Baseball hat on and pulled low, ridiculous swim trunks covered in hot pink pineapples in play, and the hottest woman on the ship sitting next to him getting all the sidelong glances from the other passengers on the boat taking them from the ship to the cruise’s private island, Carter was feeling more than a little cocky about how his disguise was working out. No one gave two shits about him. It had been more than a decade since that had happened, right about the time that the first Admiral movie came out. The worst was when he got called out in mid-chew at dinner. He loved his fans for sure, but sometimes he just wanted to eat a cheeseburger with onions and not read a snarky post later about how he had the worst breath in Hollywood.

“Are you sure you want to take this risk?” Audrey asked as she looked around at the other passengers packed in around them, obviously nervous enough about him being exposed for both of them. “People do stay on the ship during these excursions. It wouldn’t be that weird.”

“True.” He scooted closer to her on the bench seat until they touched from knee to hips to his hand around her shoulders as he toyed with the ends of her hair. Usually he wasn’t much of a PDA guy, but with Aubrey the urge to continually touch her was something he wasn’t about to deny. “But I’d lose the chance to kiss you under a waterfall or save you from a shark or something.”

“There are no waterfalls on the island,” she said as she snuggled closer, her hand landing on his thigh just above his knee. “And if Jaws came to take me out I’d happily shove you into danger so I could swim away.”

“That’s cold.”

She shot him a shit-eating grin as the boat pulled up to the island dock. “It’s good you realize what kind of woman you’ve hooked up with on this trip.”

“A very sexy one.” He gave her a soft, quick kiss before they got up and followed the rest of the crowd to the stairs leading off the boat.

From their spot on the top row, it was easy to get the lay of the land. The island was set up with a beach area covered in lounge chairs placed close together and mostly occupied, an open shopping area with little grass huts filled with tourist tchotchkes, food stands, a guy with a cart selling pina coladas in coconut shells, and—bingo!—a small building where they could rent snorkeling gear.

“You in?” he asked, pointing to the building.

“Most definitely. How else am I going to shove you in the shark’s way so I can sell my story and see it get made into a streaming-only movie?” Her face paled and her grip on his hand tightened as they made their way down to the single set of stairs and out onto the dock. “I didn’t mean that.”

“I didn’t think you did, Aubrey.” He pulled her close, sneaking another kiss as the other passengers swerved around them.
