We find a brewpub that serves chicken wings. To Jared’s further delight, the bartender is young, gorgeous, and knows exactly who he is. He wolfs down his wings and a side of fries before abandoning Ash and I to go sit at the bar and flirt.

“Looks like I’ll be sleeping with earplugs in tonight,” Ash says sourly. “He’s doing pretty well with her, and he’s not a big believer in being quiet.”

“What does that have to—oh!” I say, as I belatedly realize what he’s implying.

“We got a two-bedroom suite, but past experience tells me that won’t be nearly enough. I knew I should have pushed for separate rooms.”

“You can stay with me.”

I don’t know who’s more shocked when I say that—Ash or me.

“I mean, my couch is pretty comfy,” I say. “I know it’s not ideal, but it might be better than dealing with that tonight.” I glance over towards the bar. The bartender is leaning forward on the bar, her cleavage on full display, and Jared appears to be more than ok with that.

“Are you sure I wouldn’t be imposing?” Ash says.

“No, not at all.”

“I might have to take you up on that, then,” he says, giving me that easy smile of his. I find myself desperately hoping that Jared has good luck with the bartender. Hell, I might be more invested in it than Jared is.

“Want to take a walk on the beach?” Ash asks. “I suspect Jared’s going to be awhile.”

“Yeah, that would be really nice.”

“Let me tell him we’re leaving.”

He walks over to the bar and speaks to Jared, who turns and gives me a friendly wave.

“All set,” Ash says, putting his hand on the small of my back as if to direct me towards the door. It sends chills up and down my spine, and if he can do that just with a hand on my back, what could he do if he really tried?

“Cold?” he asks, frowning at the goosebumps on my arms. “Do you want to go back and get a sweater or something?”

“I’m fine. Sorry, just got a random cold chill,” I say.

“Well, let’s get you out of the A/C and see if we can’t get you warmed up,” he says, still directing me towards the door.

I try not to think about all the ways I’d like him to warm me up. I fail miserably (or not-so-miserably, depending on how you look at it).

We head down to the beach. I don’t know that I’ll ever get used to how clear-blue the water is. The only vast stretches of water in Iowa are the lakes, and they’re deep and murky compared to the ocean. It’s impossible to be upset with the water on one side of me and Ash on the other.

He reaches down and takes my hand, his fingers weaving through mine. “What are you thinking about?”

“Lakes,” I say before I have a chance to think. I’m still in shock over the fact he’s holding my hand.

“I know what you mean,” he says, glancing at the ocean.
