No matter how many miles I ran on the treadmill, nothing got rid of the heartbreak that had crept back up on me. My mind tortured me, replaying that last night with Luke over and over again. He had shut down, barely giving me any closure at all…

And then he’d fucking left the next weekend.

It had crushed my eighteen-year-old self, and while I had recovered and moved on with my life, the heartache still hurt if I thought about it too much. It made me feel crazy. Plenty of people had gotten their heart broken as teenagers and moved right past it all.

But not me.

“It’s just a fling,” I told myself as I stared in the mirror, having just finished blow-drying my hair. I had avoided everyone by spending all my time in the gym and then retreating to my room to get ready. It was nearly two o’clock, and no one had bothered me—not even Luke.

Maybe he’s changed his mind.

I swallowed, hating the fact that I actually hoped he hadn’t. No matter what sirens were going off in my head, I could feel myself softening to him, regardless of the past. I mean, it had been a decade ago.

As I stepped out of the bathroom, I headed to the dresser, opting for a black two-piece bathing suit. The top was strapless, though it surprisingly supported my size D boobs. The bottoms were high waisted, giving me a classic look. I grabbed a sun hat and an olive-colored cover-up that fit like a dress, cinched at the waist.

Delilah still had my book that I’d been reading, but I had an app on my phone that would have to suffice. I knew they had probably already left to go shopping and the doors connecting our rooms were locked.

A knock on the door of my room startled me as I picked up my things, shoving them all into my beach bag. My heart hammered as I headed to see who it was, and I didn’t want to admit that I was hoping for a hazel-eyed hunk on the other side.

“Room service,” Luke called from the other side of the door.

I rolled my eyes, ignoring the pang of excitement in my chest. “I don’t think you should be trying to con your way in like that. It could get you arrested.”

“Ah, you into that sort of thing? I can probably find some handcuffs.” He smirked, shooting me a wink.

I shook my head and laughed as I took him in, looking more handsome than ever. He was still in the same button-up and khaki shorts, but he looked hotter than I remembered—was that even possible?

“Are you going somewhere?” he asked, eyeing the things in my hand. “I was actually thinking we could spend the afternoon on the yacht. Jett gave me permission.”

My lips pursed at the idea of being alone with Luke again. “What are we going to do on the yacht?”

He gave me a devilish grin. “What do you want to do on the yacht?”

“You’re such a man,” I chided him, stepping out into the hallway.
