The hot guy saunters off with his friends and moves out of my sight.
Sighing, I walk back into the bedroom and dig my sandals out of my bags. This is the only clothing I'll need. I brush my hair and check my makeup, then hunt around in my purse to find the new shade I'd bought just before coming here. It's a brighter pink than I usually wear, but I decide to go for it. The last thing I do is glance down at my body to make sure I don't have any dirt on me.
No dirt. But I can see the faint scars from my hysterectomy. That's not sexy. All the workouts on earth won't get rid of that. So, I root around in my purse until I find the little bottle of foundation I'd stuffed in there. A quick patch job covers the scars well enough.
Now it's time to go.
I grab the wide-brimmed straw hat I'd bought at the Suva airport and stroll out to the main patio. A lot of people are here already.
And I see that hot guy again, though only from the back. I'd recognize that ass anywhere. My ex-husband had never cared about working out, and I didn't mind if he was slightly flabby. Well, not until he dumped me and started dating women who were inappropriately young for him.
I should not be thinking about Craig right now. This is my getaway, an adventure to spice up my life. My ex is probably knee deep in computer stuff right now, crammed into a cubicle in an office building, while I'm here on a gorgeous island surrounded by gorgeous men. I can take my pick.
A dark-haired woman steps out onto the patio and whistles loudly. "Listen up, folks! It's time for the welcome ceremony. Please pay attention because we will be giving you important information. I'm Holly Bythesea, guest services manager here at the Au Naturel Naturist Resort South Seas. If you need anything, feel free to ask me." Holly steps aside and spreads an arm. "And now, may I introduce the general manager, and my hubby, James Bythesea."
A dark-haired man walks out of the lobby and clasps Holly's hand. He waves to the guests. "Welcome to paradise. The island of Heirani Motu is privately owned and offers many opportunities to explore the landscape, on prepared trails or in the wild. But before you explore, we need to explain the rules." He smiles and winks. "There aren't many restrictions, so don't complain just yet."
Wow, that is one good-looking general manager. Do they only hire attractive people to work here? James Bythesea looks older, though not as old as I am. His wife seems much younger.
My gaze wanders over the crowd until I spot a familiar backside. Once the welcome speeches are over, I might go over there and introduce myself to the mystery man with the tight tush and thick biceps.
James continues his speech. "Remember, this is an adults-only, clothes-free naturist resort. The few exceptions to that rule are outlined in your packets. In consideration of our clothes-free mandate, we provide a few amenities other resorts don't. The terracotta bowls located throughout the resort proper offer free access to sunscreen, insect repellent, and condom packets. Our in-house pharmacy can also provide whatever medication refills you might need."
Condoms? My head swivels toward the man in charge. Is this a sex club? Not sure if I'm progressive enough to sign on for that. But the packet I was given said nothing about BDSM, so I assume the condoms are strictly there to ensure everyone practices safe sex.
I can't focus on whatever James Bythesea is saying now. Why? Because I can't stop staring at the mystery man. I'm too damn old to get infatuated with anyone, no matter how sexy he is. But simply watching his backside makes me feel warmer and wetter in ways that are not appropriate in public.
No doubt about it. I've been celibate for too long.
James has finished his speech, and the guests begin to spread out and head for their rooms or down the nature trails. The mystery man's friends have walked away, leaving him alone on the patio. Alone except for me. But he hasn't looked this way. I glance down at my breasts that aren't as perky as they once were and suffer a brief moment of panic. Then I suck it up and act like a mature woman, waltzing straight up to him. He's still facing away from me, so I tap his shoulder.
He turns around.
And I gape at him as cold rushes through my and throat tightens. "Craig? What the hell are you doing here?"
Chapter Two
Craig
My ex-wife is gaping at me like I have a nuclear weapon strapped to my chest and the countdown timer has five seconds to go. Is it so much of a shock that I might visit a nudist resort? Yeah, it is. But her shock still seems like overkill. I'm having trouble concentrating on what she said, though, because her nude body is distracting me. I've seen Vanessa naked more often than I could count. We were married for a long time, after all. But I swear she's more toned now than the last time I saw her.
That was two years ago. She looks better than ever.
I can't remember what she said, so I force myself to look her in the eye instead of in the tits. "Did you ask me a question?"
"Yes. What the hell are you doing here?"
"Taking some time off. You always said I was a workaholic, so you should be applauding me for kicking back for a change."
"But this is a nudist resort."
"I know that. Did you think I accidentally stumbled onto this remote island and decided to stay for a while?"
She plants her hands on her hips. "Why are you here, Craig? Nudism isn't in your comfort zone."
"Maybe I've expanded my zone." My gaze flicks down to her groin, and I cough into my fist as I zero in on her eyes again. "What areyoudoing here, anyway?"
Vanessa rubs her arms, a gesture I know well. It means she's uncomfortable and wishes aliens would land to whisk her away to Jupiter so she wouldn't need to answer my question. Finally, she sighs. Her shoulders flag. "I got an invitation in the mail. It said I won a free two-week stay at the Au Naturel Naturist Resort South Seas."
