Spending the day with Carmen and her parents had been just what Dylan needed to take his mind off everything. Especially that kiss. That had been exactly what he’d needed. He hadn’t kissed her again, but not because he didn’t want to. Boy, had he wanted to. But knowing the relationship Carmen had with her parents and not knowing what exactly the relationship between the two of them was—he hadn’t wanted to risk it.

They’d spent a few more hours paddling around and exploring the far shore. Dylan spent most of that time sneaking glances at her, and whenever he could, finding an excuse to touch her. Every time he made contact with her, even briefly, there was a spark between them, and all Dylan could think of was how badly he wanted to explore that connection between them.

He didn’t look at his phone once all day. Even when Carmen excused herself to make a few calls. When the sun started to sink in the sky and Carmen announced that they should probably be heading back, he reluctantly agreed. Dylan didn’t want to admit it, but he knew he couldn’t play hooky forever.

Back at the Lodge, he’d said his goodbyes to Bill and Linda, who were smiling and whispering at each other, giving Dylan the distinct impression that his avoiding kissing Carmen again had all been for nothing.

“We’ll see you both for dinner, then?” Bill asked. “We’re just going to have a little rest and then we’ll meet you at Oliver’s.”

“Oh, I don’t—“

“Sounds great,” Dylan interrupted Carmen before she could protest. “I don’t know about the two of you,” he continued, turning on the charm, “but all that paddling has certainly worked up an appetite.”

Dylan was aware that Carmen was staring at him, but he wasn’t going to let her get away so easily. Not when he had another opportunity to spend time with her.

“We’ll see you soon,” Linda said. Dylan knew Carmen hadn’t missed the twinkle in her mom’s eyes, or the little wink she gave her husband, but it didn’t matter. Let her parents think they were in a relationship. Especially because Dylan himself could no longer think of many objections to making that a reality.

After Bill and Linda left, Carmen turned and stared at him. “What do you think you’re doing?”

“I’m coming for dinner.” He smiled smugly. “And since I have the feeling they’re already talking about us, why not give them something to really talk about?”

She tipped her head and tried to look annoyed with him, but Dylan noticed the start of a smile. “Isn’t that a song?”

He reached out and tugged her into him. He’d been waiting all afternoon to hold her properly and the feel of her body against his was everything he’d expected it to be. “What’s the harm?” he said, his voice husky as he moved his mouth closer to hers.

“Dylan, I don’t think—“

“Then don’t.” He closed the gap between them and gently brushed her lips with his. Taking her soft moan as encouragement, Dylan deepened the kiss.
