My bare feet pad along the beautiful ebony hardwood floor as I make my way back to the room Cormack assigned to me this weekend. I’m in desperate need of a shower to rid my body of the sand and salt embedded on my skin. I’m still wearing my bikini, but I’ve placed a light, flowing, blue cotton dress over the damp material.

Tonight's setting for dinner was casual, but I still don't think it is suitable to wear only swimwear to a dinner table. Although, it appears no one informed Colby of that. He sat barefoot and in just a pair of board shorts. His long blond hair was tousled loosely on the top of his head, and his skin had color from spending hours at the beach.

Colby is a real lady charmer. There is no doubt in my mind he could woo the panties off any girl he sets his sights on. He has just chosen the wrong lady to pursue. My attention remains focused on Isaac, even though he wants to be left alone.

I felt Isaac’s eyes on me throughout the day, but he hasn’t uttered a word to me. His dark, gloomy mood makes me hesitate to interact with him. Not that his appalling attitude should be rewarded with attention, but I can’t help but feel I’m missing out on a prime opportunity to unearth the real Isaac Holt.

My mind is still a jumbled mess of confusion, I’m beginning to wonder if the explicit sex scene in the nightclub office actually happened, or if my overactive imagination is more phenomenal than I comprehended.

One might assume most of my thoughts would be consumed with unearthing everything about Col and Isaac, considering unraveling that secret would be critical for the FBI’s investigation, but it isn’t. I can’t stop thinking about what Cormack said.

Who is Ophelia, and what does she mean to Isaac? Why would I lose Isaac if I tried to force him to share information with me? And why did a dark pit form in my chest the instant I thought I might lose him? These are the questions I want answered, but no one seems willing to talk about them.

Upon entering the long, dark hallway, the sudden flash of a smirk halts my long strides. Mere feet from me is Isaac, leaning in the doorjamb of my room a few doors down from where I've stopped. His arms are crossed in front of his well-formed chest, and the danger in his eyes would have most men shuddering in their boots, but instead of feeling fear, my body quivers with anticipation, and stupid butterflies form in my stomach.

I strengthen my posture before finalizing the last strides down the hall. Offering him a quick smile, I skirt past him to enter my room. He seizes my wrist, halting my reluctant retreat. My pulse quickens, my breath hitching from his simplest touch.

Air traps in my throat when he leans in close to my neck. The warmth of his breath flutters my earlobe when he hisses, “Stay away from Colby.
