Chapter Ten

Holly put down her fork and smiled at Pete. “That was amazing. Thank you.”

“You are most welcome, sweetheart. I have a feeling making breakfast for you could become something of a habit.”

She liked the sound of that. They'd spent the night making love and sleeping in each other’s arms. She'd woken with hers legs entangled with his, his arm slung across her waist. She could happily get used to mornings like this.

“Want to walk on the beach?” he asked.

“Yes, but let me clean up the kitchen first.”

“I'll get it when we get back, there'll be plenty of time before the guys get home.”

“It'll only take me a few and besides, you cooked, I'll clean. I may not be a chef, but I do pull my weight.” She started clearing the table.

Pete came up behind her and put his arms around her middle. “Come on. We can do this later.” He brushed his lips against the back of her neck, sending shivers through her.

She laughed. “You're not even dressed. I'll be done here by the time you're ready to go.”

He reluctantly let her go, then swatted her backside. “Okay, you win, boss lady.”

She had the kitchen cleaned up by the time he returned. He was wearing black cargo shorts and a blue T-shirt that matched his eyes perfectly. It also showed off his muscular chest and shoulders. Holly caught her breath at the sight. He was so damned hot!

Pete smiled knowingly. “Like what you see, hey?”

She nodded appreciatively.

“That makes two of us.” He ran his eyes over her. “We could take this back to the bedroom instead?” He raised an eyebrow. “You wanna?”

She did, but part of her wanted to enjoy his company away from the bedroom too.

As if he understood, he held out a hand to her. “We'll get to that, but first I believe we had planned a walk on the beach.”

As she took his hand and they headed out the door, Holly reminded herself that he was, above all else, a man with a plan. And that he stuck to it. She couldn't get carried away with all this. He'd been honest with her and she accepted it. The plan was that their little affair would end after Emma and Jack's wedding. She would make the most of it, but she couldn't let herself hope that it would be anything more. It didn't fit Pete's plan. End of story.

The morning was already warm as they walked down the path that led to the beach and on past the fire pit where Emma had a circle of chairs set out. Holly felt sad as she thought of Emma and Jack and all their friends spending evenings out here around the fire. Soon Pete would have his house built, too, and they'd have a lifetime of friendship ahead of them in this beautiful place. There was no room for her in that picture. Well, maybe occasionally, as Emma's friend, but it was Pete she wanted to be here with. She bumped into him.
