“Sounds like fun.” She pauses for a moment. “I wish I was having fun with Cathal.”
I hate how broken she sounds. “He’s a waste of space for ditching you.”
“It’s because I don’t deserve a man like him.”
“Bullshit. Don’t let me hear anything like that from your mouth again. You are too good for him.”
“I miss you already,” she says.
I miss her too, and the fact is, this is our reality now. After a week in the Maldives, we will return to Washington for a couple of weeks before heading on to London. At least, that’s what my father told me.
“I wish this had never happened.”
“What? Marrying a sex beast?” Nina asks, chuckling over the phone.
I roll my eyes. “You know that this is how it will be once I’m in London?”
There are a few moments of silence. “Yes.”
It’s a simple answer, but her tone speaks volumes. When she met Cathal, I really hoped she’d found her someone. A man she could rely on to hold her up during the ups and downs, but he was a flake. He talked the talk, but when it came to it, he was a pussy.
“I better get going,” I say, feeling the heaviness between us. “I’ll see you in one week. If you need to talk, call me anytime. Okay?”
“Okay,” she says, sounding flat.
At that moment, I wish I hadn’t called her. As I feel like I’ve just dragged her down. I end the call and throw my cell phone on the bed, heading over to my suitcase, which is sitting in the far corner of the room.
I search through the clothes that I’ve brought with me, trying to find something suitable for this afternoon. After a few minutes, I opt for a white cotton blouse paired with a denim skirt and strappy sandals.
Once dressed, I make my way out of the villa and over toward the door, pulling it open and stepping outside into the warm midday sun. The heat is almost overwhelming as it wraps around my body like an embrace.
I take my time walking down the wooden bridge that links the water villa to the beach, which is deserted. As I gaze across the beach, I notice a figure getting closer, coming in this direction.
It could only be Isiah, since he rented the entire private island. Other than some staff at the restaurant and also the spa, there’s no one here but him and me. I hate the way my stomach clenches at that thought.
As he gets closer, I feel my mouth water at the sight of him. He’s wearing a pair of board shorts and topless as he jogs across the sand, sweat coating his chest and making it glisten in the sun.
As he turns off the beach and onto the bridge, I realize I’m staring and try to snap out of it.
“Morning, love. Like the view?” he asks, smirking at me.
I glare at him. “Yes, I like the view of the beautiful tropical island.”
He tilts his head. “Of course, what else would I be talking about?” he asks, arching a brow.
“I’m going to explore,” I say, trying to walk around him.
He grabs my wrist. “Yeah, you can start by exploring my cock.”
“Fuck off,” I say, yanking my wrist from his grasp.
Isiah steps into my path, blocking the walkway with his body and glaring down at me. “It’s not a request, but an order.” He grabs his crotch, drawing my eyes to the hard bulge. “I went for a run to try to blow off steam, but I’m still as hard as a rock and it’s your fault.”
My eyes widen. “How is it my fault?”
“Because ever since I fucked your ass, I can’t think of anything else. Your ass is heaven and I intend to spend a lot of time fucking it.” He pulls me close, his sweat getting on my clothes and yet somehow I don’t mind.
What the hell has this man done to me?
