Nova

The cool water of the lagoon swallows me up, bubbles spinning madly around me beneath the surface. Before I kick to the top, I do a little dance and squeal, hugging the coconuts to my chest. I wish I could go back in time and tell past Nova not to be scared of Lincoln. Not to spend a week worrying what kind of man he’ll be or if he’ll hurt me.

Lincoln is the…oh, he’s everything.

He reminds me of the coconuts in my hands. Hard on the outside, but sweet on the inside—even if he doesn’t know it yet. But I see how he looks at me. He might be a stoic man, but I’ve been given the gift of seeing beneath his surface.

Plus, I don’t think he realizes he was speaking out loud when he called me his miracle, back at the top of the cliff.

You like when I call myself your Daddy, Nova?

Even in the midst of the cool water, heat slithers up the insides of my thighs. I’m surprised by the desire that was lurking inside of me, but I’m not scared of it. I’m not scared of anything when it comes to Lincoln…except one thing.

I’m supposed to be duping him into getting me pregnant.

I’m supposed to be securing the future of my family with a payoff from a billionaire.

How could I ever have agreed to such a thing?

What will I do now that I’ve fallen for the man behind the serious veneer?

My instinct tells me I should come clean, but Lincoln isn’t a man that trusts easily. If I tell him about the plan hatched by my sisters, a plan I agreed to, he’ll hate me no doubt. But he’s given me no indication that he plans to stay on the island beyond a week. The man is a certified workaholic and he’s going to return to New York at some point, while I remain here. With my sisters. If I let them down, they will make my life a living hell.

Conflict is winding its way into my gut when I hear a loud splash, a few feet away.

I open my eyes under water and see Lincoln encapsulated in a cloud of bubbles.

Shirtless.

My womanhood squeezes tight like a fist and I almost drop the coconuts.

This is the first time I’ve seen him without a shirt and oh my goodness, he’s built like some ancient warrior. If I used his abdomen as a slide, it would be like riding a roller coaster. That’s how defined those muscles are—and his arms. Lord, I think he could tip a phone book in half without a single grunt.

I was already on cloud nine over Lincoln letting himself touch me, for trusting me to be the one he overcomes his affliction for, but knowing this is the man who I brought to a climax with my butt? I think my temperature could heat this whole lagoon.

Lincoln and I lock eyes underwater.

His fury would have made me catch my breath if I had any left.
