What the fuck?
My breath catches.
“Emily.” I gesture.
“Yes. There they are.” Then her jaw drops. “What the hell is Misty doing with them?”
“Her usual MO, apparently,” I say. “Right in the middle of the drama.”
We approach quietly, hesitant, almost like we’re intruding on something sacred. Brett doesn’t see me at first, or maybe he’s just too wrapped up in his own thoughts.
But then his expression changes. It’s subtle, but I notice, even from the distance.
He sees me.
Everything stills.
My stomach flips, hope clawing its way through the uncertainty.
River turns next, his gaze locking onto Emily’s. He doesn’t smile, doesn’t move, but she steps forward without hesitation.
I don’t. I stop as if my bare feet are cemented in the sand. I grasp at something—anything—as the earth seems to swallow me whole.
“River?” Emily’s voice carries on the soft breeze.
“Emily.” River’s deep voice. “And Sienna.”
“What are they doing here?” Misty demands.
“We’re taking a walk.” Emily looks over her shoulder and gestures to me. “Come on, See.”
But I can’t move. My feet feel like they’ve melded with the sand, my body paralyzed by the weight of my own uncertainty.
Emily steps closer to River.
“Sienna?” It’s Brett. His voice is low, just a tad shaky. Is he nervous? Scared perhaps? He stands, turns to face me. “Are you okay?”
I nod and swallow hard against the lump forming in my throat. “Yeah,” I manage. “I’m good.”
Relief sweeps through me when I see the love in his eyes—the silent vow that saysI’m still here. I still choose you.I can breathe again.
But then he turns and looks at his long-lost friend…and his expression doesn’t waver.
EPISODE 205
HOT STUFF
Heather
June doesn’t know me—not on the inside. But she sees too much.
I first thought fooling around with her would be harmless. And damn, the girl can lick pussy like she lives for it.
But now…
The way she looks at me—and it’s not like she’s dying to jump back in the sack. Besides, I can be bi when men aren’t around, but we’re on an island full of billionaires—not to mention sexy-as-fuck staff members. I kind of let my horniness get the best of me.
“You think he’d do it?” June asks.
