CHAPTER NINE

‘TOKORIKI.’ THE HELICOPTER pilot pointed to an island ahead of them.

Olivia gasped. ‘Oh, wow, it’s tiny.’

Zac grinned. ‘Perfect. You won’t be able to get away from me.’

She elbowed him. ‘Want to spend the night outside in a hammock? Alone?’

Zac just laughed. Damn it. ‘A night in a hammock would be a novelty. I wonder if there’s room for two.’

She did an exaggerated eye roll. ‘Not to mention mosquitoes.’

Zac stared down at the bright blue sea as the pilot brought the helicopter around to line up with the landing pad on the resort’s lawn. ‘Isn’t it stunning?’

Olivia leaned over Zac to get a good look at the island. ‘Pretty as a picture.’

‘Yes.’ Zac’s head was right beside hers, his scent tickling her nostrils.

Pulling sideways so that she no longer touched him, she tried to ignore the buzz of excitement fizzing along her veins. Not easy in the confined space with the smell of aftershave and hot-blooded male teasing her. How was she going to remain immune to him when they’d be sharing a bure? The photos on the internet had been a reality check, like a dousing under cold water. The one large room containing an enormous bed towards the back and lounge furniture at the front looked so romantic and had set her heart racing—and that had been back at home. Couples didn’t come here to sleep in separate beds. Not unless they were Zac and her.

The helicopter touched down with a bump and Olivia snapped open the clasp on her safety belt. A big, strapping Fijian man opened the door and held out his hand to help her out. Feet firmly on the ground, she looked around and was greeted by two young girls.

‘Bula,’ they said in unison, before placing leis made of pink and yellow hibiscus flowers around her and Zac’s necks.

‘Bula,’ she replied.

Zac took her hand. ‘Welcome to paradise.’

The bure was gorgeous, made from dark wood and covered with thatch. Wide doors and large open windows let the sea breeze through. An overhead fan spun slowly. A perfect spot for a couple to enjoy themselves and each other. Even with the sex ban? A second shower stall, outside and without a roof, made her smile. ‘All the better to stargaze.’

‘Come here.’ Zac still held her hand and now he tugged her over the lawn to stand on the beach twenty metres from what was to be their home for five nights.

‘It’s going to be dark shortly,’ she sighed. The day had sped by getting here.

‘Let’s pop the cork on that bottle of champagne I saw in an ice bucket on the coffee table. We can sit out on our front porch and pretend we do this every night after a hard day at work.’

Olivia started walking backwards so she could watch Zac. ‘You’re as excited as a kid on his first holiday, aren’t you?’ His eyes shone, his mouth the most relaxed she could ever remember it.

‘I reckon. This is like my first holiday, only way better.
