Chapter Twenty-Five

Coco

When Dominick dropped me off at home, we stood at my door, and he gave me one final passionate kiss. “When can I see you again?”

I adopted my public persona, a confident bravado I didn’t feel. “I will be counting the seconds.” I touched his lips. “How do you say it? Meu amor.”

When I entered my condo, Victor Jose trotted happily after me, but all I wanted to do was grab my phone and call Rhys. I punched in Rhys’s number, and he answered on the first ring. “Well, who’s going to Canyon Ranch? You or me?” I tried to speak, but instead, a low sob erupted. “Honey, what’s wrong?”

I tried to modulate my voice. “I’m worried about Dominick.”

“Worried? Why?”

I told him about Dominick’s plan to surf Cortes Bank. “He’s going to die out there, Rhys.” I collapsed on the sofa in a heap. Victor Jose leaped onto my lap, placing his paws on my chest.

“Coco. Listen to me. The man knows what he’s doing. Just because your mom …” His voice trailed off. “Sweetie, you have to accept people for who they are. Dominick’s a pro, right? If he said he’s trained for this, you have to believe him. Would he really put his life at risk? He’s got a kid.”

I felt tears coming on but sniffed them back. “He can’t … he can’t …”

His voice became a purr. “How was the sex? Did you do it?”

I smiled. I had won the bet. “Yes, we did it. And it was fan-fucking-tastic.”

“There’s my best friend.” He let out a heavy sigh. “Dang, I lost. I really didn’t think he’d break.”

I sat up straight, and my voice was shrill. “I don’t care about the bet anymore.” I sprang up off the sofa and wandered to the kitchen, scouring the fridge for something to soothe my nerves. I found a lone can of beer, a leftover from one of our junk food nights. I popped the top and took a long, satisfying swig. “Rhys. Listen to me. Dominick can never know about the bet.”

His voice was incredulous. “Do you love him?”

I took another swallow and wiped my mouth with the back of my hand. “No! I mean, yes. I mean, we just met.”

Rhys chuckled softly. “I think somebody is falling in love. Fine. If you don’t want that trip to Canyon Ranch, maybe I can take Alex.”

“The barista? Have you guys gone out?”

“No. But I’m working on it.”

I tapped my foot impatiently and drained the can of beer. “I didn’t think Dominick would be who he is. I thought he’d be a quick roll in the hay. Rhys, he’s different than I expected.”

I walked out to the balcony and took a deep breath of ocean air, remembering Dominick’s hands on my body, the way he’d made me scream his name as he made long, slow love to me. But there was more to him. I hadn’t felt this intensity of emotion in a long time. Maybe ever. It was more than
