Figuring something would eventually open up, I headed to the bar and ordered a scotch on the rocks with a twist. Whenmy drink arrived, I wandered toward the beach, wondering if I’d find a place to chill.
Just before I reached the steps that would take me down into the sand, I spied an open chair to my right. I turned toward it, intent on getting there before someone else spotted the free space. But then my gaze strayed to the lounger next to it, and I froze.
After a few moments, I double-blinked to make sure the vision in front of me was real. When it didn’t disappear, the breath caught in my lungs whooshed out.
A woman was lying on the sun chair, her body relaxed and glistening with a light sheen of perspiration. The way it probably looked after a bout of hot, sweaty sex. She had an hourglass figure worthy of a 1950s pinup. With full breasts and round hips, her body was made for breeding. Soft curls of white-blond hair that ended just above her shoulders were held back from her classically beautiful features by a gold headband that matched her swimsuit. If you could call what she was wearing a swimsuit. The scraps of fabric could barely be classified as a bikini.
The suit was sexy as fuck, but that thing was going in the trash ASAP. Her curves belonged to me. She was mine and only mine.
Mine? What the fuck?
She couldn’t be. She was clearly much, much too young for me. She…
Well, shit. Gabe had been right.
The second I saw her, she became mine. I already felt the obsession and surges of possessiveness coursing through my body.
Her blissful expression made me wonder how she’d look when she was coming down from the high of an orgasm. The thought had my cock hardening in my trunks, so I moved my towel in front of me.
I noticed someone approaching in my peripheral vision, and my head swung in their direction. My expression made it clear that going near my woman meant putting their life in my tightly clenched hands.
A young male server—who couldn’t have been more than twenty and looked like he could be a professional surfer—stopped in his tracks a few feet away. He glanced at my girl, then stared at me like a deer in headlights.
I held out my hand, and he quickly gave me a pink girly drink with a flowered umbrella, then scurried away. My eyes returned to the goddess I intended to claim, and I stepped forward until I was all she would see when she opened her eyes.

LENNOX
Ifigured that blocking her sun would get her attention. I was proven right when her eyes drifted open, and she snapped, “I’m trying to…”
Her words trailed off as her gaze took in my six-foot, two-inch muscular frame. I wasn’t ignorant of my effect on women. I stayed in shape at the gym and played sports, so my open shirt showed off my chiseled abs with a smattering of hair on my chest. My dirty blond hair—mixed with some silver—was shoulder-length, but it was pulled back in a man bun at the moment. I’d also been told that my blue eyes were “piercing” by the woman who interviewed me when I was put on the “World’s Sexiest Billionaires” list. Something I still owed Justice a right hook for since he’d suggested me to the magazine.
I’d never given a shit about whether women found me attractive, but I had to tamp down the desire to preen under this woman’s appreciative gaze. Like a fucking peacock.
She blinked up at me with wide, bright blue eyes, and I realized she looked even younger up close.Shit.I was easily ten to fifteen years older than her.
After a second, I mentally shrugged. It didn’t change the fact that she was mine.
A rush of possession swept over me again, and I barely stopped myself from shaking my head to clear it. I hadn’t even officially met the woman, but I already claimed her.
Maybe it was simply because I’d gone way too fucking long without touching a woman. Hell, I couldn’t even remember the last time. One-night stands had never been appealing to me, and after dating some gold diggers who were spectacular actresses, I’d written off relationships completely.
That had to be it. Except…why her? Why now?
Because she’s yours, asshole.
“Um, hi.” She sucked in a shaky breath, then sighed. “Sorry.”
“No apology necessary, sweetheart,” I replied with my most charming smile. “I’m the one who was blocking your sun.” Her eyes dropped to the two glasses I held, and her expression turned curious, probably because she noticed that one of them was the frozen cocktail she’d ordered. I moved closer and set them on the little table. “But I figured I could save the server a trip since I was already headed over here.”
“Oh.” Her lips formed a perfect circle as she stared up at me, and I pictured that pretty mouth full of my dick. Swallowing a groan, I gestured to the unoccupied lounger next to her.
“Planning to claim that chair?” she asked.
“I am,” I confirmed, removing my sunglasses to set them on the table next to my scotch.
As I dropped onto the chair, I couldn’t stop myself from running my heated gaze over every inch of her ample curves, and my body buzzed with desire as it drifted down her figure. Then I returned my attention to her gorgeous face. Something about it seemed familiar, but I couldn’t put my finger on it as I sat facing her with my legs over the edge of my seat and my feet on the ground. Resting an elbow on my thigh while I stretched theother hand toward her, I curved my lips into a sexy smirk. “I’m Lennox.”
