Chapter Twelve

Garrett

If kissing Alessandra confused me, and seeing her almost naked made me feel like a hormonal teenager, sharing a queen size bed is a special kind of torture.

I barely got any sleep, and I can’t see how she’s managed to. But as I lie awake, listening to her steady breathing, it’s becoming more and more apparent I know next to nothing about Alessandra Eason.

From the second I saw her on the side of the road, everything she’s done seems to have been carefully planned to throw me off balance.

But I refuse to let that happen again today.

While she’s been sleeping, I’ve been brainstorming. And while she says she’s happy with my strategy for tomorrow, there’s a lingering doubt in my mind, she’s going to do whatever it takes regardless of how reckless it is.

To set my mind at rest, I run over the plan I’ve set in motion one more time before I get up, and hope everyone does their part safely.

Weather permitting, Levi will be at the beach tomorrow. No one will be surprised that he’s blown off group lessons for Courtney.

Even if I don’t like him doing it, it would probably look worse if he didn’t cancel because an attractive bored tourist wanted a one on one lesson.

Zane will be acting as back up just in case Bryce shows up and I need assistance.

As far as I can tell, I’ve covered all access points and made sure everyone knows not to engage.

There are two things I can’t control. One is the weather and the other is Alessandra.

My growing feelings for her, and the tension between us is making me nervous.

I can’t predict what she’s going to do any more than I can guarantee it’ll be sunny when I need it to be.

The best thing I can do is pray and hope she doesn’t do anything that’ll endanger herself, my family, or anyone else around her.

I fold my arms behind my head and try not to think about what happens if we manage to find Bryce Wade today.

If he’s cocky enough to come out of hiding and visit his wife on the main beach, things will come to a head a whole lot quicker than I anticipated.

On the one hand, that means a fugitive is out of my Bay, but on the other, that means Alessandra will also be leaving.

I’m supposed to be thinking about the violent offender loose in our community but instead, I’m obsessing about Alessandra’s long legs, and what it would feel like if she wrapped them around me.

Not surprisingly, I woke hard and had to call on every ounce of my self-control not to push the pillows we used as a barricade away and make use of it.

If flirting with her started out as a game, it’s becoming a tantalizing one.

The only problem is, the more time I spend with her, the less I’m sure it’s one I can win.

I give up trying to figure it out and drag myself out of bed so I can stand under a cold shower for a few minutes before she wakes up.
