Snow gave me a weird look, like she wanted to say something, but then talked herself out of it. She shook her head as if answering her own question.
“What is it?” I asked.
“Well, I was going to ask if you wanted to join me, but—”
“But what? I’d love to if you would have me.”
“Really? I just figured you might have to work or something.”
“Nah, I’m more or less done until later this evening. As long as I’m around in case there’s an issue, I’m pretty much free to do whatever during the day.”
“That sounds so nice,” she said.
“It is nice, I couldn’t ask for a better life. I’m really lucky.”
She sighed and had a distant look in her eyes, as if she were somewhere else entirely for a second. The face of a daydreamer. I wanted to ask her what she was dreaming about, but I wasn’t sure if it would be appropriate to do so.
She seemed to snap out of it pretty quickly. “The coffee here is really good. Like,reallygood.”
“Yes, I have it shipped in from my favorite coffee shop out of Hawaii,” I said. “Best coffee in the world in my opinion.”
I took a sip of my own cup of joe. I drank it black with just a little sugar to sweeten it up. Snow had an iced coffee, which was always popular in the summer months.
“I don’t think I’m going to want to leave,” she said. “The food, the coffee, the beds… everything here is the best I’ve ever had.”
I wanted to ask if the sex was too, but just smiled knowingly as I finished plopping some more pineapple in my mouth.
Then again, she hadn’t had sex with me—yet.
She looked down at her empty plate, then over at mine. “I need to head back to my cottage and change into my swimsuit.”
“You know some of the pools are clothing optional, right?” I said with a wink.
Her cheeks flushed. “Maybe I’ll get there by the end of the week, but for now I think I’ll grab a suit.”
“Of course, I should run back and grab mine too.” I didn’t want to make her uncomfortable, though I couldn’t recall the last time I’d worn my swim trunks around there. Hopefully I had some. I was sure I could find a pair buried deep in a drawer somewhere if I searched hard enough. And getting to spend more one-on-one time with her, well, it would be worth it.
“Meet you at the pool near your cottage in a few minutes?” I asked.
“See you there.”

The sun was shining brightly. The pools were mostly empty so far, it was too early for most of our guests who tended to be more focused on the nightlife, so sleeping in was common. It was the next most peaceful time of day for me, second only to the late nights.
The water was tempting—it was already getting hot—but the numbers wouldn’t be crunching themselves. I needed to approve some upgrades that Sean had requested for the rooms. He was always trying to push the budget with new and improved features and luxury items. Not all of them were practical, but I would at least try to make it work.
I heard voices walking toward the pool, pulling my focus away from my laptop. Snow and Jason were walking toward me, with Snow looking right at me. I smiled and closed the laptop. Work could wait.
“Morning, stranger,” she said sounding cheerful.
“Good morning. Did you sleep okay?”
“I slept well, thank you,” she replied. “And today, I plan to really explore and have some fun, starting with a swim. Why don’t you join us?”
She was wearing a red vintage style bikini with white polka dots and a white bow at the bust. It was adorable, while also sexy as hell. The high-waisted bottoms highlighted her middle and the top showed just enough cleavage to allow my mind to run wild.
