CHAPTER EIGHTEEN

ALYONA

I arrive on the main deck of the yacht to find crew members bustling about, preparing for something. I’m not sure what it is yet, but I’m going to guess it has something to do with the surprise Leo has in store for me. Whatever that is.

It’s another ridiculously perfect day. The sun is shining down with relentless enthusiasm, but it only makes my head pound harder. I didn’t manage to sleep much last night, my anxieties on overdrive.

And the thought that’s screaming the loudest—should I sleep with my ex? Not just any ex, the one that broke me.

It could either be the best or the most disastrous idea I’ve ever had, but I don’t know if I have it in me to resist him any longer. The pull I feel towards him is like a living, breathing entity that pulses and thrums in my veins. So hot that I had to use Bob multiple times last night, hoping to work out all my pent-up sexual energy. With my eyes squeezed shut, I allowed myself to imagine what it might be like to finally give in to the overwhelming temptation to spread my legs for Leo again. It was good—really good. But I know for a fact the real thing is so much better.

I steal a croissant off the breakfast buffet and make my way towards the lounge area. It’s there that Jack catches up with me, his hair messily flopped to one side, a sheepish smile on his face. “Aly, do you have a minute?” he asks, falling into step with me.

“Uh, sure.” I’m uneasy around him but seeing as we’re stuck on this yacht together for god knows how long, I might as well hear him out.

Jack runs his hands through his hair, nervously shifting his weight from one foot to another. “I want to apologize for yesterday. I’m a friendly guy, but I don’t mean anything by it. I hope I didn’t cause any friction with your fiancé.”

I sigh and take off my sunglasses. He needs to hear what I’m about to say. “Jack, you seem nice enough, and I’m sure plenty of the ladies who are guests on this boat appreciate your attention. But I am not one of them.”

He dips his head, a contrite gesture. “Understood, and I hope we can still be friends.”

We were never friends, but I don’t want to make more of this issue than necessary, so I smile and say, “Sure.”

“Good, I’m glad.” He’s still staring at me, though, that flirty little smile ever-present on his lips. “Are you ready for today?”

“I don’t even know what’s happening today,” I admit. I take a step back, crashing into a big hard body. Might as well be backing up into a brick wall.

“That’s because it’s a surprise,” Leo says in my ear as one big arm wraps around my front, pulling me into him. Warmth floods my veins at his familiar touch. “Jack.” Leo nods in acknowledgment. I’m grateful he’s put the alphahole bullshit behind him.
