It was another hour before Julie got back to her villa. Chris walked with her and left her at the door with another one of his toe-curling kisses.

“If I come inside, I’ll never leave,” he said, tearing his mouth away from hers. “Have dinner with me tonight?”

Julie knew she probably had the dopiest, mooniest smile on her face, but she didn’t care. “Of course.” Julie was so happy she was humming as she walked into the villa. She was tired, pleasantly sore, and yet full of an inexplicable energy.

She was on her way to the shower when she noticed the message light blinking on the phone beside her bed. The first message was from Amy. “Julie, it’s Amy. I tried to reach you last night after you left.” Julie’s mouth curved up in a smile at the thought of why she’d been unreachable. If only Amy knew.

“Anyway, I wanted to let you know we’re all getting pedicures and massages this morning starting at nine. I went ahead and made you an appointment, so just meet us at the spa.” Julie glanced at the clock. Eight forty-five. She was going to have to hustle.

“Jules, it’s me.” Julie’s stomach dropped when she heard Wendy’s voice. Why would Wendy call if not for an absolute emergency? “I’m sorry to bug you—I wasn’t going to call. But I didn’t want it to come as a complete shock when you got home”—Julie rolled her eyes to the ceiling. Come on, Wendy, get to the point—“but Brian has been calling me nonstop, trying to find out where you are.” Julie’s hand tightened around the phone, then immediately relaxed as Wendy continued. “I didn’t tell him, of course, but you should know he’s looking for you. And there’s one other thing.” Julie sat down on the side of the bed, bending double as nausea roiled in her belly. “He’s fighting the annulment. He won’t sign the papers. Says it’s not that simple. Anyway, I’m sorry to lay this on you when you’re on vacation, but I just wanted you to be prepared for the shit-storm waiting for you. Call me if you need me.” PrivateParty

Unbelievable! What did he think would happen? That if he refused, Julie would come running back?

Knowing Brian and his ego, that was probably exactly what he thought. Part of her wanted to call him right now and tell him that she’d just had the most unbelievable sex anyone ever had, with his younger brother. Let’s see if he wanted her back then.

She was actually reaching for the phone before she stopped herself. No. She was not going to taint this.

She was going to enjoy her vacation, damn it, and if Brian wanted to stonewall her about the annulment, that was his business. She’d deal with him when she got home.

But the idea of rubbing her—whatever it was—with Chris in Brian’s smug face was mighty tempting.

Julie did her best to put any thoughts of Brian and the real world out of her head. What
