“I did.” I can't tell him I barely slept because I thought of Cassidy most of the night and imagined what it would be like to have my face buried between her legs. "Thanks for having me."
He beams. "I'm glad you’re having a good time." He frowns slightly. "I planned to spend the day showing you the sights, but something has come up."
"Serious?"
He shakes his head. "Just business that needs to be handled, but I have an idea..."
Nina and Cassidy re-enter the dining room carrying trays of breakfast food before he can finish his thought.
The smell of freshly brewed coffee fills the air, and steam wafts off fluffy scrambled eggs, crispy bacon, and warm buttered toast. Freshly cut oranges are arranged in a clear glass bowl, with sliced strawberries and blueberries for toppings on yogurt or oatmeal.
Cassidy heads back to the kitchen and returns with a carafe of orange juice and coffee. She looks around the table and the only available seat is next to me. I give her one of my signature lopsided grins and pat the seat beside me. "Good morning, Cassidy."
She reluctantly takes a seat.
We both reach for the coffee at the same time. Our fingers brush, and the feel of her warm skin against mine sends a thrill through my body. We lock eyes, and her big brown eyes darken with...desire.
A small smile tugs at my lips when her eyes move over my chest. I'm wearing a fitted white T-shirt and blue shorts, but I can tell she likes what she sees. I spend time in the gym and watch what I eat. I know I look good.
Her eyes return to mine, and she blushes and looks away quickly.
Antonio clears his throat. "I have an idea for the rest of the day." He beams at Cassidy and me. "Cassidy is an excellent hostess and knows the island like the back of her hand."
She stiffens.
"Why don't you show Ivan around for the day?" Antonio suggests as he pours a cup of coffee.
"I'm sure Ivan doesn't want to hang out with me all day," she replies. She looks at me with a snarky smile. "I would think he'd want to spend the day on the beach checking out all the women."
Antonio frowns at his daughter.
With a sip of coffee, I respond firmly, "It appears you don't know me very well. A tour around the island is precisely what I need to unwind."
She stares at me for a moment before nodding her head and forcing a smile at her father. "I'd love to give Ivan a tour."
"Ivan, you've done so much for this family," Antonio says. He places a hand over his heart. "It's an honor to have you on vacation with us."
A pang of guilt washes over me as I try to remind myself:
She's your best friend's daughter. She’s off limits.

"Wheretonext?"Ivanasks me.
We walk along the quaint streets of the town. I hate to admit that most of the day has been pleasant. Ivan and I have had a few conversations about his business, but for the most part, we've been in companionable silence.
That part scares me. I can't enjoy hanging out with Ivan. It just won't work.
"The museum," I answer. "It's one of my favorite places on the island."
I move a little away from him as we walk down the sidewalk.
He chuckles. "Worried about being too close to me? I promise that my intentions are pure."
