Chapter
Eleven
Darcy enjoyed dinner with the three men. Nick was sending her mixed signals, and she supposed she was doing the same. She found herself letting down her guard with him time and again. How was she supposed to resist a man as kind, accomplished, and intriguing as him being interested in her? If only she knew what was holding him back, what she feared he was hiding from her. She suspected now that her husband had cheated on her their entire marriage and was involved in shady business deals as well. Sheâd often wondered throughout their four year marriage what Johnny was hiding from her. She never got any answers until all her trust was broken. She couldnât go through that again.
The four of them took their time eating and chatting. Focusing out the windows, Darcy was surprised the sun was almost touching the ocean to the west.
âArenât we watching the sunset from the hot tub?â Jagger asked, winking at Nick.
âWhat was that wink about?â she asked.
âNothing.â Jagger jumped to his feet. âYouâd better hurry and change out of that pretty dress and into a swimsuit if you want to watch the sunset from the top deck with us.â
Pretty dress. You are miles past pretty; youâre breathtaking, truly.
Nickâs gaze met hers and held it. Then he stood and pulled out her chair. Smiling up at him, she quivered when he took her hand. They all walked together down to the lower level.
âMeet you upstairs?â Darcy asked.
âYep.â Jagger disappeared into his room.
âSee ya soon.â Hays hurried into his room.
âIâll come walk up with you,â Nick offered.
âThank you.â
He held the door, and she walked into her suite. Glancing over her shoulder, she was caught up in his deep-brown gaze, smoldering with heat for her. Her stomach quivered with anticipation. If only they could sit in the hot tub alone.
He stepped back and closed the door. She hurried to slide out of the white dress, hang it up, and put on a fun one-piece floral suit that had enough padding in the chest area it looked like she did have some curves.
A long, gauzy white cover-up hung behind the formal dresses. It tied at the waist and flowed to the floor. Pretty.
She grabbed a beach towel from under the sink and hurried to wait by the door. It was odd to wait without a phone to distract her. With scant free time, she would usually respond to emails or texts, or scroll through social media. What she wouldnât do to Google Nick Jacobs and do a thorough social media investigation.
A rap came on the door. She flung it open.
Nick had a towel flung over his shoulder that did nothing to hide his incredible build. The bronze medallion hung down between his lovely chest muscles. She found herself reaching up and touching just the medallion. She didnât dare touch his smooth skin.
âIs this your family?â she asked.
He wrapped his hand around hers and held it against his chest. Warmth filled her. Looking into her eyes, he had her panting for air from a simple look and touch.
