MITCHELL

I trudged down to the beach at ten to ten the next morning. I hadn’t brought anything with me other than a towel. Cayman hadn’t mentioned what we’d be doing, but I figured if I needed anything else, I could always quickly duck back to my room to get it.

The kiss with him on the beach last night was...everything. The perfect combination of soft and gentle, yet passionate and fiery. The feel of it lingered under the surface of my skin. I could even feel it now as my feet squeaked as I made my way through the soft sand.

The beach wasn’t too busy, mainly filled with guys from the resort sunbathing. A few navy-blue beach umbrellas were propped up around the place. It was a beautiful sunny day, and I couldn’t wait for whatever surprise Cayman had in store for me.

And then my eyes landed on him.

He was standing facing away from me, wearing just the bottom half of a wetsuit. His uncovered back was tight with muscles, forming a perfect V-shape that led all the way up to his broad shoulders.

"Mitchell, over here!" He turned around and waved enthusiastically.

He dropped whatever he was holding and marched over to me, greeting me with another delectable hug. I liked that we were so naturally comfortable around each other. I took that as another good sign.

"Sleep well?" he asked, his sky-blue eyes gleaming.

"Like a baby," I replied as we walked over to where he was setting up on the beach. "How about you?"

"I slept great." He took my hands in his, lowering his gaze at me. "I know it’s probably not a cool thing to say, and that I should probably just keep my British twat mouth shut...but...I had a really good time with you last night, Mitchell."

I lifted my eyes to his. "I should probably keep my stupid-ass American mouth shut, but I had a really good time, too."

We stood there holding hands and grinning for a few years. Or a few seconds. Who knew? Who cared? Time was standing still, and it felt fucking incredible.

I liked that he was so honest and forthright, telling me how he was feeling. I had been played so many times before that having someone share their real feelings was a welcome change.

We talked for a few moments about casual things: the weather, he pointed out a few small islands that dotted the horizon, I asked him about the lighthouse at the far end of the beach.

"Would you mind doing my back?"

I turned to him, my heart beating like an incoming freight train until I looked down at the sun lotion he held in his hands.

Fuck, that accent made everything sound wicked dirty.

As I rubbed lotion all over his smooth, hard, muscled back, my thoughts turned to last night and how respectful he had been. He totally didn’t push me to do anything more than just kiss. And believe me, I wanted to. So bad. But I needed to give myself a moment, a little time to catch up and process all of this.
