Dylan: I think the coffee place in the lobby might be open

Astrid: meet you there

It was early, sunrise was still another forty-five minutes away at least, but around the resort staff were moving quietly and efficiently.

Astrid was in the lobby already, chatting with the barista.

“Morning,” he said softly, letting his hand brush across the small of her back. She was wearing shorts and a tank top, with a wrap pulled around her shoulders. Her legs were bare all the way down to flip flops. She looked soft and touchable, and he wanted to pull her into his arms.

Easy, cowboy.

She turned and gave him a smile that blew that warning right out of his mind. There was no easy when it came to Astrid. No slick, no control. She stripped away all his jaded layers and made him want to make wild pronouncements of affection that would surely scare any sane woman way.

“What are you going to have?”

You, naked, in my bed was not the right answer. He gave his head a little shake and turned to the barista. “A regular latte is fine.”

Once they had their drinks in hand, they headed down to the water as if there’d been some silent discussion and they’d come to an agreement. The main building overlooked the bay, and it reminded him of Coronado in a lot of ways, although quieter.

His brother had just shrugged when Dylan had asked him why they were flying to the east coast for the wedding. Easier for family to travel to, he’d said. But there was something special about Mimosa Key, and Barefoot Bay specifically. Take off your sandals and fall in the love, he thought. That was the slogan of the resort, and the speed with which his heart was spinning out of control for Astrid, he believed it.

Not that he was actually in love. But it was the most romantic fling he’d ever had, that was for sure. That they’d only shared kisses so far probably played into that mystique.

Somewhere along the path to the beach, he’d taken her hand. Her fingers were soft, like the rest of her, but long and tapered and strong, too. He held on to them until they hit the sand, then he let go long enough for her to kick off her sandals—and he did the same.

As soon as they sat on a lounge chair, Dylan leaning back and Astrid between his legs, their coffees on a small table beside them, he picked up her hand again and traced the length of her index finger, the repeated the caress down the rest of her digits.

“Your hands are gorgeous,” he murmured against her temple.

She spread her hand out wide, flexing her fingertips. “I got a manicure for the wedding. First time in a year? Nail polish doesn’t last long with my job.”

He frowned. Did he even knew what she did?

She twisted around and laughed at his face.

Busted.

“I’m an illustrator,” she volunteered.

“Did I know that?”

“Maybe not. I think the only time I mentioned it was during the introductions at the rehearsal dinner.
