MELANIE WAS GLAD the day had turned around after starting out so badly. She didn’t know how to conduct herself after sleeping with a man she’d known only sixteen hours. She had been uncertain of what Hunter was thinking, afraid that being impulsive—as great as it had been—was a poor choice.

It had felt fantastic to end the day from hell on such a high note, and she didn’t want it to be messy or complicated. They had pinky sworn it was nothing but sex, and that was liberating.

Hunter was right—she did need to stop thinking so much. It stole a lot of the enjoyment from making a final choice. Whether it was a dolphin necklace, a risotto or a man, she invariably wound up questioning whether she had made the right pick, since she had debated it so endlessly. This really could be the most freeing vacation she’d ever had. She had intended it to be a sex fest with Ian, but it was turning out to be about more than that. It was about learning to embrace life and not worry so much. Along with being a sex fest.

Which was why she was going to go back to the room with Hunter and enjoy him without thinking it meant a single thing. On the path back to their part of the hotel, Hunter paused, setting the bottle of champagne down on the ground. “What are you doing?” she asked.

He fished her necklace out of the bag and pulled off the tag. “I thought you might want to wear this.” Undoing the clasp, he came around behind her and dropped it down over her face onto her chest.

“Oh, thanks.” She shivered a little at the feel of his warm fingers on her neck as he hooked the clasp.

He lifted her hair up and over it, pausing to kiss the tender spot below her ear. “You’re welcome.”

Her hair dropped back down, and he moved away. Melanie had never stopped to think that maybe what she had been craving from Ian wasn’t a sex fest—it was this. Touch. It was a natural craving to feel someone’s fingers brush your skin, slide through your hair. As a little girl, she had loved to have her hair braided, to roll herself in a blanket with her cousins, to climb on her mother’s lap. It wasn’t as easy to achieve that type of physical closeness as an adult, and she had been searching for it. Ironically, taking her clothes off for Ian had not fulfilled that need.

Yet a simple gesture from Hunter had.

Oh, yeah. She had a lot to learn about herself and what she wanted. But right now all she knew was that she wanted Hunter. For the next four days he was hers. This was uncharted territory for her—being with someone without expectation—but she liked the freedom.

“How long did you and Danielle date?” she asked. Because that was a smart topic to bring up en route to a nooner.

He glanced over at her.
