Chapter Four

Manda groaned when the alarm went off. Her stomach grumbled, and she noticed a weight across her waist. Her eyes shot open and images of the night before flashed in her mind. She took a deep breath, waiting for her breathing to change and the tightness in her chest to appear, but there was nothing. No gasping for breath. No rapid heartbeat. A sense of calm washed over her, and she moved against Hunter.

“Keep that up, and we won’t make it off the ship.” He kissed her neck, just under her ear.

She wanted him again, but did she dare go there? She took a deep breath, rolled over, and rested her hands against his bare chest.

He smiled. “How are you feeling about last night?”

She reached up and caressed his face. “It was wonderful, and I feel absolutely amazing.”

Hunter’s smile grew, and he threw back the covers. “What do you need from your room? I’ll go get it.”

Manda laughed. “I have other clothes in my bag.” She wrapped the sheet around her as she hurried into the living area of his suite. She grabbed her bag that still sat next to the couch. The dress, the magical dress, stood as if she were in it, thanks to the hoops in the skirts. She touched the fabric as she walked past. Too bad she’d never have an opportunity to wear it again.

Back in the bedroom, she noticed Hunter had disappeared. She knocked softly on the closed bathroom door.

He opened the door and smiled. “It’s all yours. You get used to taking short showers on the road.”

She smiled. “I won’t be long.”

“Do you have your bathing suit?”

Manda opened the bag and started scanning through it. “Surprisingly, I do.” She held up the dark green one piece.

“Good, I’ll be waiting for you.” He leaned over and kissed her cheek before closing the door.

She took a quick shower and threw her her bathing suit on before slipping into a pair of dark gray shorts and a red tank top. A quick towel dry of her hair and Manda was out of the bathroom.

“I figured we’d do some relaxing today. I found out a buddy of mine rented a villa in Mahahual, and he’s out working today, so we’ll have the whole place to ourselves with two and a half miles of private beach.”

“That sounds wonderful.”

“I thought so.” Hunter winked.

Manda put on a pair of silver sandals and grabbed her purse. “Do I need to bring anything else?”

“I think you’re good. Unless you wanted to do something more formal later on.”

“I think relaxation should be the name of the game today.”

He motioned for her to go ahead of him, then shut and locked the door behind him. “Let’s get going.”
