Josh ended his call with Stefen and, as he suspected, things were coming to a head with Bri’s mother. She was on a warpath and wasn’t holding anything back. Stefen sounded like he was about to lose his shit after his mom phoned his house and called Leah a money grubbing whore.

Honestly Josh was surprised Stefen even told him that. He was so pissed off.

Josh was starting to get anxious and really concerned about what Bri was going to walk in to when she got back to Santa Barbara. No one should ever have to deal with this shit all their life. He could only imagine what it’d been like for Stefen.

As he finished zipping up his shorts, a knock sounded. Pulling the door open, he blinked at Bri standing there, wearing a black ribbed tank top and little white shorts that ended just above her black lacy garter belt tattoo.

Swallowing hard, he was glad the bottom half of his body had been underwater when he saw it this morning. That bikini left nothing to the imagination. But it wouldn’t have mattered what she wore. His body reacted to her, no matter what.

“I had to take a look at this balcony you talked about.” She bounced on the balls of her feet, wearing a beat up pair of black Converse.

Finally, he stopped gawking. Am I drooling? He touched his mouth to make sure. “Oh yeah, come in.” He stepped aside, allowing her to pass.

He stepped up behind her, kissing her bare shoulder. “If you didn’t get seasick, I’d take you out on one of those right now.” He rested his chin on her shoulder and turned his head, running his nose along her neck as he moved her long dark hair to the side. “You smell so good. I don’t even need breakfast. Just you.”

She spun around with a hurt look on her face. “Then why do you keep kissing me and walking away?”

What? His eyes widened. “I told you I’m letting you take charge. I know I keep getting carried away, but it’s your call.”

Narrowing one eye, she pursed her lips. “Maybe I’m not the kinda girl that makes the first move. Maybe I want you to show me what you want.”

Confused, he furrowed his eyebrows.

This has got to be tied to some insecurity she’s fighting.

“Listen, Bri.” He carefully grabbed her hands, pulling her into the room then down on the edge of the bed with him. “I haven’t been with anyone since I moved out to the ranch, and I really had no intention on looking for someone, then you showed up. No matter what I’ve told myself, I just couldn’t let you go a second time. Tell me what
