Chapter Fourteen

“I AM NOT humming!” Emery insisted, although not only was she buzzing like a hummingbird, but little aftershocks were quaking through her every time she thought of Dean. She was surprised she wasn’t causing the ground to shake.

“You started humming after Oscar Martin popped your cherry,” Desiree reminded her as she headed back inside for another tray of food, Emery and Cosmos at her heels. “And the only time you hum since is when you’ve had great sex. Why are you denying it?”

Desiree stopped walking, and Emery bumped into her with an oomph!

Desiree spun around, her jaw hanging open, her green eyes wide with horror. “Oh my gosh. We’re growing apart, aren’t we? You used to tell me about your sexual escapades. First we stop telling each other things, and then we’ll stop hanging out, and it’ll only get worse from there…”

“No, we are not growing apart.” Hearing the guys in the yard, Emery took her by the arm and dragged her away from the door. Cosmos scampered back outside. “I share everything with you. I haven’t had any escapades to speak of for months.”

“But you’re humming, and you swore there was nothing between you and Dean. Oh God, please tell me you aren’t staying at his place and sleeping with someone else.”

“Yeah, that’s it. I’ve turned into a flaming slut. You’d better lock up the men, or I’ll screw them all.” They both laughed, and Emery admitted, “There wasn’t anything between me and Dean before, or maybe there was and I didn’t let myself see it. But we haven’t had sex!” she whispered emphatically. “At least not full-on intercourse.”

“Ha! I knew it!” Desiree set her hands on her hips and smiled. “The way he looked at you over Christmas is nothing compared to how he looks at you now that you’re here. I knew you two would hook up.”

“Then you’re more intuitive than me, because I didn’t,” Emery confessed. She glanced toward the yard, where Dean’s distinct voice rose among the others’, and her stomach flipped. “Please don’t be mad, but I quit working at the resort and told Dean I’d see their customers here. I know I shouldn’t have said anything without asking you first, but I couldn’t fool around with my boss after what happened with the dickhead in Virginia.”

“That’s fine, of course, but I’m not buying that you didn’t know you and Dean would hook up.”

“I swear it!” She stopped talking as Violet descended the steps, eyeing them curiously. “Hey, Vi. I love your skirt.”

Violet looked down at the tie-dyed miniskirt covering the bottom of her black bikini. “Thanks. I made it.” She made a dramatic show of sniffing the air and said, “Ah, Rick’s a good man.”

Desiree blushed as Violet made a beeline for the crepes Desiree had set out for everyone. Then Desiree narrowed her eyes and crossed her arms, staring at Emery expectantly.

“Denial,” Emery said flatly. “That’s my only defense.”

“Denial? Really? So are you two a thing now?” A smile lifted her lips, and before Emery could respond, concern wiped it away.
