Hyde drummed his fingers against the steering wheel of the rented Porsche as they drove toward his home on Strand Beach in Dana Point, California. If Lily had an almost panic attack about his Gulfstream G650, how was she going to deal with his house? His mom’s house in Golden was a beautiful home and he’d spared no expense updating or maintaining it, but it definitely paled in comparison to his twenty-two million dollar purchase of a year ago. His accountant said he needed all of this real estate for retirement purposes and to help keep the taxes under control. Hyde didn’t love the debt, but his contracts were locked in for five more years and he could easily pay for many multi-million dollar homes.

He reached the gate, rolled down his window, and used the fingerprint scan and the code. The gate slid quietly open. He glanced over at Lily and, once again, her mouth was falling slightly open. He shook his head. He probably should’ve just taken her to the public beach, but it was so much more comfortable to have a spot to eat, play in the pool after swimming in the ocean, and have a nice shower before they flew back home. Plus, he didn’t want to deal with people recognizing him.

He pulled out the garage door opener he’d brought with him and clicked it. The wooden door raised quietly. Parking the red Porsche, he rushed around to get Lily’s door then grabbed both of their bags. “You okay?” he asked quietly.

“Guess this is why nobody teases you about living with Momma? When your second house is a multi-million dollar mansion.”

“Do you need another kiss?”

“Yes. Give it to me quick.”

Hyde chuckled, dropped their bags in the large laundry room off the garage, and gathered her into his arms. Her soft lips parted under his and he had no problem offering her comfort to deal with his “throwing his money around”. She was strange. In such a great way.

She broke the kiss and grinned up at him. “So, why did you fly me to sunny California?”

“Heard about a sad little girl who’d never dipped her tootsies in the sea.”

“Pathetic, eh?”

“No, she’s pretty cute and I like being the guy to fulfill all her fantasies.”

“Whoa. Let’s stick with dreams, mega-stud, fantasies implies an arena we aren’t dipping into anytime soon.”

“Well, dang. That’s disappointing.”

She laughed and broke from his arms. “The beach?’

The few times he’d brought a date to one of his houses, he’d usually give them a tour, but he didn’t think Lily needed to be overwhelmed with that. He directed her through the kitchen and living areas. He could tell she was getting panicky again by the way her head kept swiveling to take everything in. The modern flat cabinets of walnut, granite countertops and backsplashes, and stainless steel kitchen with the huge dining room overlooking the ocean. The different living spaces with leather couches, flat screens, gorgeous landscape paintings and sculptures for decorations. They all had retractable patio doors that led onto the huge patio and infinity pool with the ocean below.
