CHAPTER EIGHT

Guystof lay in bed. The pains in his stomach had returned, but they were nothing compared to the pain in his heart. What was happening to him? Not only did he look human, but he was feeling human too. These emotions he felt were like none that he’d ever experienced before, and he didn’t know what to do with them.

When he’d first met Melody he’d been attracted to her, and why not? She was a beautiful woman. Besides, marrying someone attractive was far better than spending centuries with someone he found distasteful.

This game should have been easy. All he had to do was get her to fall in love with him. What he never expected, though, was to be the one who fell.

He squeezed his eyes shut, and Melody’s lovely heart-shaped face appeared in his mind’s eye. How could he have been such a fool? He should have known from the last time he was alone with her that to get too close—to hold her, kiss her, touch her smooth, velvet skin—would mean nothing but trouble. She did things to him that no other woman had ever done. And now he’d blown it. She felt rejected, and he’d probably be the next bachelor asked to leave the island.

His chest tightened. The thought of never seeing her again hurt worse than the thought of losing his legacy. He would have to find a way to make her understand why he hadn’t made love to her tonight. And do it without telling her more lies. Guystof switched off the lamp on the bedside table and rolled onto his side. Perhaps a solution would come to him in his sleep.

Unfortunately, the next morning when he awakened, his problem still weighed heavily upon his mind. Today was the last group date and possibly the last opportunity he would have to talk with Melody.

He showered and dressed quickly and was out the door before Tommy had even gotten out of bed. Guystof hoped to beat the other bachelors to the beach and grab some alone time with Melody, but when he arrived, she was engrossed in conversation with the professor.

Melody looked as gorgeous as ever. She wore a bright yellow sundress and matching sandals. Her hair was loose and full, falling softly over her shoulders, just the way Guystof liked it best. She seemed in good spirits, laughing and flirting with Johnny. If this was how she planned her revenge, it was working. Pangs of jealousy already stabbed at Guystof’s heart. Deep down he knew she didn’t care for the professor, not in the way she cared for him, but that didn’t stop him from feeling hurt nonetheless.

Well, he wasn’t going to let her see that it bothered him. He walked nonchalantly over to them. “Good morning, Melody, Johnny.”

The professor offered a brief hello, while Melody remained silent, never taking her focus off the professor.

Guystof bristled. He understood that she was angry with him, but he hadn’t expected her to be rude. He stepped between them, forcing Melody to look at him.
