Beck stretched his legs out and knit his fingers behind his head. The water of his plunge pool glowed with the ever-changing lights beneath the rippling surface. The sky was darkening, and cheerful sounds of guitars and singing voices danced above the gentle rush of the surf. A tang of salt lingered in the heavy air.

Beck exhaled and rolled his neck from side to side. It was too gorgeous for him to be this on edge. He’d endured an hour-long hard-on with Jami bouncing against his crotch while Ryan went in endless loops and wave jumps. As soon as they’d reboarded the yacht, Jami had been pulled into a conference with her father in the sky lounge behind the bridge. After that, she’d been distant and avoided him.

A crew of two had served them a bountiful, early supper and they’d returned to the resort’s docks just as the sun sank near the horizon. Jami had escorted her nieces, Clara and Emma, off the boat with promises to see their bridesmaid dresses.

He’d headed off with Kyle and Dillon to share a drink, but he’d called it a night early, and now here he sat. Beck drummed his fingers on the tabletop. The Barretts were driving him crazy. He was sick of real estate deals. He was wound up with sexual frustration, and Jami was the source of both problems.

He sat straight in his chair and studied his laptop. Maybe he should freeze out his fiery thoughts of Jami with some cold, hard business facts. Beck blinked. Hard. That was a bad choice of words. Beck rolled his neck again. Focus, my man. Focus.

The troubles at Barrett Logistics could be the exact ammunition he needed to torpedo their bid for the Anderton property. He’d typed out half of an email to his attorney explaining the potential massive loss of business for the Barretts, but a knot of tension wound tight in his gut.

If he sent this off to his counsel, she’d jump on the information like a pack of hungry wolves. There’d be no telling where it all ended. He had no interest in bringing down Teddy Barrett’s business. And Teddy might be an overbearing pain in the ass, but that didn’t necessarily mean he was a bad businessman, or that he was at risk of going belly-up.

Beck closed his laptop and paced the length of the room twice before he opened the French doors to his patio. It was a bower of vines and flowers thriving on the warm, sandy-colored brick walls, and a riot of corals, pinks, and violet glistened in the pale light of the almost full moon. The scents were delicate and soothing, and the gentle rush of waves hitting the shore streamed over him. His breath settled and matched the rhythm of the ocean.

He’d been through too much with the nightmare of Oliver’s revolting behavior and the epic disaster of losing all the company’s investors. It still sickened him to think of the terrible details of Oliver’s sexual harassment case.
