Chapter Thirteen

LEILANI

So much for keeping my mouth shut.

Remy is too kind, too sweet, and too crazy-handsome to not climb like a mountain. All afternoon, as he helped with the furniture at the bar, patiently discussing the pros and cons of different table styles, I kept noticing his foxy smile. And the way he listened carefully to everything I said, his honey-colored eyes bright and attentive.

I thought about how he had given me the bracelet made by his sister. He'd passed it off as something casual, but it had been a thoughtful gesture. I considered how diligent he’s been in introducing me to other business owners and pondered how he’s patiently told me about the island’s history, the demographics of the tourists, and his thoughts on the future of the whole place.

And then when we were in the water, the small waves brushing against his biceps, I felt this surge of invincibility. Okay, and horniness. That too. The man’s mere presence drives me crazy.

But back to the invincible part. I’ve already done the hard stuff. I left Brent, moved away from the only town I’d ever known, and given up my beloved job. I started a business.

Asking for no-strings-attached pleasure with the hottest man on Paradise Beach? Pfft. Piece of cake compared to everything else. Be brave, Leilani, Mom had told me when I’d left.

And this is nothing like what Mom does with her men. She falls in love. She moves in, gets married, opens a joint checking account.

No way am I falling in love with him. I’ve got my own place and my own bank account.

But why not ask if he wants a casual hookup? Isn’t claiming my own pleasure part of being a brave woman?

Hell, yes it is.

So what if he doesn’t want a relationship? I don’t, either. It’s time I stop with the fairytale fantasy of happy-ever-after, anyway. Why not try happy endings of the sexual kind instead?

It’s worth a shot. I can call it off anytime if I feel like I’m getting in over my head.

Because I’m owning my desires. I can do anything.

And so, we’re at my bungalow door, still damp from our swim and kissing like mad while I grope for my key.

“Want you so bad,” he murmurs, biting my neck while I unlock the door.

Finally, I get the damned thing unlocked and we tumble in. The door slams shut, and he presses me against it. I’m whimpering as he slides his fingers to my neck — he does this intimate thing where he holds me in place, his hands gentle, his lips inches from mine. It makes my insides liquefy every time he does it.

He’s grinning against my mouth like he knows exactly what he’s doing. And maybe he does. Because he seems to take possession of my body quite quickly, and I’m on board with being a willing participant.

“Hope you have condoms here,” he growls.

I nip at his bottom lip, pondering whether I should tell him no. Make him work and leave here to go to the store.
