“Looks like I suck at Couples Communication 101.”
He smirked. “Well, if I’m going to suck at a relationship, I can’t think of anyone else I’d love to suck at it with.”
“Aww, you really don’t hear enough romantic declarations with the word suck being used.”
He leaned in and sucked on my neck, making me giggle. “Did you call your dad?”
“Not to abuse the word, but you have sucky timing with that question.”
He smiled and kissed me again. “It’s been a week since your mom dropped the bomb.”
“I’m well aware, but don’t you think the first thing she would’ve done when she returned home was to tell him all about it? She’d have to vent to someone. And did he pick up the phone to call me? Nope. Plus, Brian tried talking to her and she bit his head off. So clearly it’s not a subject she’s willing to discuss at all.”
He hugged me tightly, stroking my back with his strong hands. “I’m sorry I brought it up. What do you think about getting away for a few days?”
I sighed, letting the stress of discussing my mother go. “That sounds amazing. Whatcha thinking?”
“Dinners on the beach.” He kissed me once. “Breakfast on the balcony overlooking the ocean.” He kissed me a second time. “You in bed, naked. A lot.”
My breath caught when he deepened the kiss. “I’m in.”
“Good. Kenz?”
“Mm-hmm.”
“Are you off your period?”
“Yep, as of—” I didn’t get to finish the sentence before he commenced ripping off my clothes. My hands became equally frantic in accomplishing a similar mission with his.
It wasn’t until he sank deep inside of me that we both groaned in relief, almost as though we’d needed the link to steady any disconnect we’d experienced over the last few days. Thirty minutes later we were laughing during a quick shower.
“Do you have your passport?” he asked afterwards while we both dressed in my bedroom.
“Sure do, with my one stamp from your brother’s wedding in it.”
“Good. You won’t need to bring a lot. Beach wear and at least a couple dresses for dinner, but not much else.”
“Okay.” Clearly, I was behind the curve when he put my suitcase on my bed. “Are we leaving now?”
He grinned. “Depends on how fast you can pack.”
“What about your work on the film?”
“It’s in post-production as of this morning, and it occurs to me that while I’m hoping this is coming off as wildly romantic, it could easily slide the other direction into presumptuous that you don’t have any other plans.”
I put my arms around his neck. “I’m leaning toward romantic since I don’t have anything going on over the next couple of days that I can’t reschedule. Where are we going?”
“South of the border, baby.”

After a two-hour flight,we arrived in Cabo San Lucas as the sun set. I knew Colby’s family had a resort down here, but when the car drove us to one with an unfamiliar name, I had to ask, “This isn’t your place, is it?”
He took my hand in the back seat. “No. I figured since I intend on being all over you this weekend, it might be better to stay at a different hotel.”
Right. Because we weren’t telling our families. Funny how a couple weeks ago when Brian had showed up, it had been a no-brainer not to spill the beans, yet now I found myself disappointed that our relationship remained a secret. I mentally shook myself out of the thought. There’d be time enough to talk about it later, but for now we were here to enjoy paradise and each other.
“When does this being all over me start?”
