“Time to wake up, sleepy head,” Jarrod says, pushing my shoulder. “It’s dinner time and the muffins have long worn off.”

I stretch my limbs, rolling onto my back, feeling the tenderness in my ass when I do. “How long have I been asleep?”

“Two hours.”

“Mmm,” I grumble, rolling to my other side.

“Uh-uh,” he says, yanking the covers off me. “You have to feed me or I’ll get grumpy.”

I reach into my underwear and adjust the semi I have. “Feed you what?”

His eyes track my movements, his nostrils flaring slightly. “Don’t tease.”

“Who’s teasing?” I say, sliding my hand inside to stroke myself.

He growls, walking away just to come back and throw clothes at me. “Get dressed. Let’s eat, and then I’ll devour you.”

“Fine,” I say with a grumble.

“Did you take a nap with me?”

“For a little.”

“Were you talking to me when I fell asleep?” I ask.

He turns to face me. “Probably, but it’s okay. I knew you were pretty out of it.”

“Sorry.”

“It’s fine,” he replies, changing into a pair of gray chinos.

I get out of bed to use the bathroom and fix my hair, and Jarrod saunters over in a black tee that fits him like a glove.

“You look nice.”

His eyes sparkle. “It’s our last date.”

“Our last?”

He wraps his arms around me from the back, looking at me in the mirror. “On the island.”

“When was our first?” I question with a grin.

“Oh, I’d say when we had champagne and macarons.”

“We were just friends.”

“I had feelings for you then. Does that count?”

I spin around in his arms and lock my hands behind his neck. “This can be our first and last…on the island.”

He nods. “Okay.”

“So, what should I wear?”

His cheeks pinken as he bites down on his lip, fighting a smile. “Can I make a suggestion?”

I raise a brow at him. “What’s that?”

“The black shirt you wore that first night to Midnight Lounge? The sheer one.”

I scrape my teeth across my bottom lip. “You like that one?”

Jarrod nods. “That was the first time you took my breath away. I was so shocked and felt like I was staring the whole night. It looks good on you.”

My lips press against his. “Then I’m wearing it.”

As soon as I’m dressed, Jarrod stares at me with hunger in his eyes. A different kind of hunger.

“Maybe I made a mistake.”

I laugh, walking toward him. “Nope. Don’t get any ideas now, big guy. We’re eating dinner first.”

“But I just want to…” He lets the sentence trail off.

“Say it.”

His eyes find mine. “I want to fuck you.”

My stomach does a flip as warmth spreads through me. “Mm.”

Jarrod steps up to me, his finger making a path from the hollow of my throat down the middle of my chest, coming to a stop where the shirt finally meets above my belly button.

“I want you so bad,” he whispers, his fingers splaying across my stomach, slipping into my shirt. “Will it hurt…if we do it again?”

“I’ll be fine,” I say with a small smile. “But we’re gonna eat first. Come on.”

Jarrod groans behind me.
