What the hell is Emma playing at? Inviting Rhys to her housewarming party and then pushing us together. Can’t deny he looks good, dressed in his jeans and a blue button-down shirt with the sleeves rolled up, showing off the tanned corded muscles of his forearms. I watched the way the veins on his arms danced as he stood there awkwardly while everyone stared at him.

The girls are going to have so many fucking questions. Urgh. This group, as much as I love them, also love sticking their noses into places they are not needed. And yes, I’m well aware I’ve done it too, but now I understand how annoying it is.

“How have you been?” Rhys asks. His long legs making him catch up to me quickly as I storm off along the manicured grass of Emma and Anderson’s mansion.

“Good. Busy,” I answer, not giving him anything more.

Rhys remains quiet as I continue to stomp my way across the yard. It didn’t take this long to walk the boathouse last time I was here, I’m sure of it, but right now, it feels like we’ve been walking for an hour, especially with the awkward silence surrounding us. Also, I can feel the gawking eyes of my friends boring into us as we walk.

The conversation we need to have is going to happen behind closed doors.

Eventually, we make it to the boathouse, where we step onto the wooden deck of the building that juts out into the water. It’s absolutely beautiful down here with the smells of the ocean, the gentle lapping of the water against the wooden beams, and the white bobbing yachts docked along the foreshore.

Opening the glass door, we walk into the boathouse’s living room. I take a seat and fold my arms, waiting. Rhys gives me a tiny frown and takes the seat across from me, giving me space I desperately crave at this moment. Silence falls as neither one of us knows what to say.

“Did you hook up with Lenna?” Jealousy hitting me at the thought of Lenna having touched Rhys.

“What, no!” he answers quickly. “We flirted. I may have tried to kiss her. But nothing happened.” My eyes narrow on him as he tells me honestly what happened. “I’m assuming because she and Logan were having a little something. I found her crying on the beach in The Hamptons and took her in. We got on but nothing more happened. I was looking for attention after my divorce, so I guess that’s why I tried to kiss her goodnight. She moved at the last second, and honestly, that was the last time I ever saw her.”

I recall what happened that weekend in The Hamptons between Logan and Lenna, I just didn’t realize Rhys was there too.

“Are you still attracted to her?” The jealous words slip through my lips before I have a chance to stop them.

“No!” Rhys stands and takes the seat beside me, forcing me to look at him.

It’s too close. I can smell the citrusy scent of his cologne, and it’s doing things to my lady bits.
