This isn’t just any man.
This is Jack Wellington. My CEO.
Well, former CEO.
He’s the guy with the baby blue Jaguar convertible. He’s got the same ray ban sunglasses on. Same cocky swagger.
Damn. He looks even better in board shorts and no shirt than he did in a suit.
Tanned, rippling abs. A chiseled jaw.
“Yes,” he says simply to answer my question about eaves watching.
I open my mouth to respond, but his terse, one word response catches me off guard.
“No denial? You’re not even going to pretend to be polite?”
I notice he’s sipping an old fashioned, and while it might be a little early for one of those, now I want one.
“No,” he says, simply. “I was just curious.”
“What were you curious about?”
“Trying to figure out why a woman as gorgeous as yourself would be using a dating app.” He takes a swig of his drink and lets out a huff.
“What was that noise?”
“Nothing.”
I try to sit up but I’m so comfortable in my hammock. “I definitely heard you make a noise. Why…are you even here? Don’t you live in town?”
He smirks. “Yes. I do live in town. I’m not staying here.”
“I-I’m going to report you,” I inform him, looking around for a hotel attendant.
“To who?”
“To the owner of this hotel,” I announce, more dramatically than I meant for it to come out.
He snorts and takes his sunglasses off, showcasing eyes that are only a shade darker blue than his convertible.
“I’m the owner of this hotel,” he says. “Report away.”
My heart rate doubles. Figures he’d be the owner of this place too.
“Seriously? Do you keep tabs on all of your guests like this?”
“You have a curious way about you. So I wanted to know what you were doing.”
I bite my lower lip. “I came here to relax. Not be critiqued about my technology usage.”
He nods, then takes a sip of his drink.
Then he laughs.Laughs.
“What’s so funny? There’s nothing funny about this.”
He snorts again and chuckles. “Sorry, it’s not you I’m laughing at exactly.” Jack puts his sunglasses back on and sits back on a lounge chair next to me with his drink. “Just the world we live in is funny.”
