Chapter Eight

Jade spent the rest of the day on St. Martin cruising around the island on her four-wheeler. She ate lunch at a little local spot, stopped at a few more beaches, and arrived back at the boat about half an hour before the all-aboard. She spent the rest of the evening alone and miserable. Dang that Joshua Jewel. She’d almost kissed him, before he’d revealed yet again what a jerk he was.

Of course he didn’t want to believe she was innocent. He only cared about his lost money, not about real people. Ugh! No matter how much Joshua and Jesse looked alike, she couldn’t understand why she’d ever believed Joshua was her Jesse. Jesse would have trusted her. He didn’t trust you enough to show you his face, that stupid, angry she-devil voice reminded her.

She went to a comedy show, and laughed a little bit. That made her more upset. The comedian was good, and because of her frustration with Joshua, she couldn’t even laugh and have a good time. Wandering the promenade after the show, she bought herself a scoop of mint chocolate chunk from Ben & Jerry’s and ate it alone. The ice cream was an upcharge, but it was so worth it.

A group of young men, barely out of their teens, walked past, several staring at her. They stopped and talked and laughed and jostled each other and kept sneaking looks at her as she slowly licked her ice cream cone. A tall redhead kid broke from the group and approached her. “Hey, pretty lady.”

She smiled, having no desire to crush this young man’s confidence. “Hey.”

“You want to … go for a walk?”

She tried to be nice. “That is so kind of you, but …” But what? I already have three men I’m interested in and you’re too young to compete with any of them?

“She has a boyfriend,” said a deep, irresistible voice behind her.

Jade whirled, and there he was. Joshua looked as gorgeous as ever, wearing dark gray slacks and a button-down pale blue shirt that showed just a hint of his tanned, tough chest. His chestnut-brown hair had just that perfect wave to it, and those blue eyes yanked her right in. How she wished he truly could be her boyfriend.

No! She wanted to be with Jesse. What was wrong with her?

“Ah, sorry, man,” the guy was saying.

Joshua reached out, and she watched them shake hands. “Hey, no hard feelings. I know she’s the most beautiful woman on this ship. You didn’t know she was taken.”

“You’re one lucky dude.” The kid smiled an embarrassed grin at her and then scuttled back to his friends.

Jade stared in semi-shock at Joshua as he took the chair next to her. His knees brushed hers, and he looked her over possessively as if he were her boyfriend. “You’re welcome,” he said.

“Excuse me?” Her temper flared up. At this point she didn’t know if he could win with her, no matter what he said. What happened to him staying
