"Mmmmhmmm…." I manage a mumble as the masseuse finishes packing her things and tells me to have a good day. The massage was life-changing and every fiber of my being is simultaneously lit up and relaxed. I wonder if this is what the afterglow of sex is like.

"The water looks amazing," Leo says. He's turned on his side and has his head propped up on his hand while he looks out over the empty beach and ocean. The massage sheet is still draped over him but clinging in ways that don't leave much to the imagination.

"Want to go for a swim?" he asks.

I turn my head to look at him, a mischievous grin spreading across my face. I don't know if it's the champagne or the oxytocin from the massage, but I'm feeling quite unlike myself- brave. "I dare you to skinny dip with me."

Leo's eyes widen in surprise, but then a matching grin appears on his face. "Ready, set, go!"

We race to the water's edge, shedding our sheets as we go. I touch of nervousness tingles through me as I bare myself to him, but the way he looks at me; the appreciation and desire, makes me bold and beautiful.

We plunge into the cool, clear water, laughing and splashing each other like carefree children. The saltwater is amazing on my skin, and I can't remember the last time I’ve been this alive and free.

Leo swims over close to me. Our bodies brush against each other, skin on skin, and a jolt of desire runs through me.

"I haven't skinny-dipped since I was a kid—ya know, a million years ago," Leo says with a grin.

Emma splashes him playfully. "Oh stop, you're not that much older than me."

"Ten years, little one," he teases back.

"That's nothing really," I retort. "My parents are twelve years apart! My dad is younger actually. They met at a work event and he was completely enamored with her. She kept shutting him down, saying she was too old for him, but he insisted that age was just a number. She finally agreed to go on a date with him and, well, the rest is history."

There's a glimmer in Leo's eyes as I share my parents' story. It's as if my words were a balm to a worrisome sore, a soothing reassurance that the age gap between us is not an insurmountable obstacle. I hadn't even considered that Leo might be worried about our age difference. Enticing and bedding a younger woman is kind of part of the job when you are a smooth-operating ladies' man... charmer... Don Juan... a Cruise Casanova- ha! If I use that name in my article I guarantee Ivan will jump at the chance to incorporate it into his next marketing blitz.

Leo is so much more than what he's being made out to be. If only Ivan knew that a real, genuine, sensitive, and stoic man was just as or more attractive to the masses as the hunky hotshot persona he's forced Leo into.

Leo's gaze lingers on me, and I watch his eyes dart to my lips and back.
