As the last of the dinner dishes are cleared, and the sun begins its nightly descent over the bay, I sit back and stretch out, my body sore after all the physical games we played today, everything from the tug of war to the scavenger hunt. I’d taken a few spills as we raced across the beach and the surrounding trees looking for clues to a puzzle. Then again, perhaps my muscles are aching thanks to Brax and the dirty, delicious way he pleasured me in the shower.

As the sexy image slams into my mind, my entire body quivers. I steal a glance at the man sitting close, but all I see is the back of his head as he chats with Alex, who is seated on the other side of him at the long table. The two seem to have hit it off quite well. I’m happy about that, because Tamara is my good friend at work and a few times we tried to get together outside the office. Unfortunately, we’ve yet to coordinate schedules. I chuckle quietly. I can’t even imagine how hard it would be to coordinate the schedules of four very busy people.

Wait. Shit, what am I thinking?

The four of us will never see each other outside the office. Heck, after this weekend the only time I’ll see Brax is during the holiday or special dinners at Mom’s. Brax is always invited to those. Of course, I’m sure I’ll see San Francisco’s Most Eligible Bachelor in the papers, though. A knot forms in my stomach at that thought. Geez, I hate the jealousy that arouses in me. Brax isn’t mine, never was. He made that clear the day he laughed when I tried to kiss him.

I shift in my seat and catch the way Jason is leaning toward Brax and Alex from the other side of the table. He obviously wants to be a part of the conversation, not that I know what they’re talking about, since Brax has his head turned the other way.

As if sensing my discomfort, his hand slides to my thigh under the table and he gives it a squeeze. His way of letting me know he’s not ignoring me, and I appreciate his thoughtfulness. In fact, when it comes right down to it, Brax is always kind and thoughtful where I’m concerned—save for the name-calling and teasing. But really, he’s always been there for me, always coming to my rescue one way or another. Warmth spreads through my limbs, followed by a modicum of guilt. If I had my time back, I wouldn’t have asked him to pretend this weekend. It wasn’t fair of me to put him in such a position, even if I do plan to give him something in return.

Brax turns to me, leans close, his body a wall of warmth. “Richard asked me if I wanted to go out on the boat tonight. Alex is coming, but Tamara doesn’t enjoy sailing. She’s staying behind, so I think it’s just the guys.
