Friday arrived. Presley tore the tags off the little black dress she’d purchased. It was short and classy, but also comfortable. She paired it with black high heels, also new, and packed a small bag like Cash had suggested. The bag contained her swimsuit, beach towel, a pair of shorts and a T-shirt. He assured her the water would be warm enough to dip into if she wanted to do so, and if she didn’t want to do so while naked, to bring a suit. She didn’t plan on climbing into the water, but she would rather be prepared. When it came to Cash, she’d surprised herself a few times already. She simply hadn’t expected to enjoy him quite as much as she had. Lately, every time she was around him, naked was exactly how she’d ended up.

After he’d serenaded her in her room two days ago, they’d had another round and a half of fantastic sex. They didn’t argue when they were done either, which was a nice change of pace. What followed had been a “normal” day, and he’d encouraged her to ask the questions she’d asked the night before. She did, tentatively, but he’d answered without much fuss.

Yesterday they’d sat on the dock and wrote. Cash, guitar in his lap, humming and strumming and occasionally jotting down words into a spiral-bound notebook that had seen better days. There were paper shreds stuck in a badly bent coil and she’d teased him, asking if that was the same notebook from when he went to FSU. That’d earned her a low laugh and a kiss, which she returned without argument.

Tonight was the formal affair at Mags Dumond’s house, and would include her first boat ride since she’d arrived. She was ready for a night off, but acutely aware that tonight wasn’t a night “off” at all. Her article was coming along, but she still needed some key information so she could end it with a bang.

As luck would have it, Hannah Banks and Cash Sutherland wouldn’t be country music’s only superstars in attendance. A source had confided that Carla Strouse would be there—as in Cash’s ex. That source was Hallie, who hadn’t a clue what Presley was up to and if Pres had her way, never would. Alas, when she published her article, everyone would know that she’d been seeking the truth to the inspiration behind Cash’s hit song. She hoped Hallie and her sister, Hannah, Cash and the rest of the Sutherlands could forgive her for it someday.

“Slip out of those shoes,” Cash said as she came downstairs.

She looked down at her black high heels. “Why?”

“We’re taking the boat to the party. It’ll be easier for you to navigate the docks without three-inch heels.” By the time he finished talking, he was standing in front of her and smiling. “Four inches,” he corrected, moving her hair away from her face to tuck it behind her ear. “Like you this tall.”

“Thanks.”

He kissed her. She lingered. When he
