SHE WAS an idiot.
She knew she was an idiot because she believed him. He said he was sorry in that Southern Comfort voice, and she looked into those eyes and damned if she didnât believe that every word he said was true.
She didnât know if she was a fool or if he was a lying jerk or if it was a combination of both.
Or maybeâjust maybeâFate was giving them a second chance.
Because no matter how much heâd hurt her in the past, the band around her chest was dissolving. His presence alone had begun to strip it from her, and when heâd smiled, standing over her on the beach, the desire so clear in his eyes, that had loosened the band, as well.
But it was here, in the dark, in the back of this absurd van that she knew. This wasnât about her being in control or him getting off on her Hot-Girl-in-the-City routine. This was Taylor doing penance. This was Taylor genuinely sorry. This was Taylor apologizing.
Most important, this was Taylor wanting her, just like he said.
He was watching her now with hooded, worried eyes. âI can say Iâm sorry again if you want,â he whispered. âIâll say it as many times as I need to.â
She licked her lips, wanting to trust him, but not wanting to be stupid. And sure as hell not wanting to get burned again. âWhy are you here?â
He flashed that quick grin that had made her fall for him, and she forced herself to stay strong this time. âBecause you didnât want to go back to my place.â
It was her turn to grin. âOn the island, Taylor. Why are you on this island?â
âBecause of you,â he said without hesitation.
âMe?â
He drew in a breath, as if what he had to say was important, and he knew it. âIâm here because I wanted to see you again. Iâm here to make this right between us.â
âNo bullshit?â
âNo bullshit.â
She was an idiot. And she was about to do something really stupid.
She was about to hold out her hand to him and ask him to take her to bed.
And all she could do beyond that was hope and pray that she wasnât making the second-biggest mistake of her life.
