Alice smiled and said, “I don’t think that’s politeness, then.”

“Alice,” Nora said, pushing the door open.

“Sorry,” Alice replied, turning toward her wife. “Bex needed to talk.”

“Is everything okay?”

“I’m just a woman in crisis,” Bexley said, falling back on the bed.

“Did none of the suits fit?” Alex asked, walking in behind Nora. “I thought I got the right sizes.”

“What? No, they’re fine. They fit. Well, I didn’t try on the red one, but the other ones all fit fine.” Bexley shot back up and looked at Alex, who was wearing a robe just like hers.

“Oh,” Alex said. “You had me worried for a moment. I don’t want you staying in this cabin working the whole time we’re here.”

Alex’s robe wasn’t tied very tightly, which gave Bexley a perfect view of that tattoo she’d noticed the other night and the color of Alex’s suit, which was green. Fuck, it was green, just like Alex’s eyes.

“I’m ready to go,” Bexley blurted. “Are we all ready to go?” she asked, standing up.

“Hello. Are we all gathering in here?” Elizabeth asked, walking through the open door followed closely behind by Palmer.

Bexley’s small one-room cabin had become very crowded all of a sudden.

“We were just about to go to find you,” Alice said. Then, she winked at Bexley and whispered, “To be continued.”

“Is everything okay?” Alex asked once the other four women had made their way toward the door. “If you really need to work, it’s okay. I can–”

“No, everything’s fine.”

“There was something about a crisis I thought I heard.” Alex held the door open for Bexley as she walked out in the brisk air.

“I was just being dramatic.”

“If you say so,” Alex replied, closing the door behind them.

“Hey, what kind of tea do you drink?” Bexley asked.

CHAPTER 17

Alex was very lucky they were surrounded by water – her drool wouldn’t be noticed by the others. Bexley Woods was unbelievably gorgeous, and she was climbing into the pool across from Alex. The six of them had decided to spend time in the main pool for a bit. Alexwouldhave preferred alone time with Bexley, but she probably shouldn’t have it because she didn’tjustwant alone time with her. She wanted to untie that bikini top that she’d done such a good job of picking out. She wanted to cup full breasts. She wanted to suck a nipple into her mouth and moan at the taste of Bexley’s skin. She wanted to slip her hand into the bottoms and stroke Bexley while she gasped in Alex’s ear and begged her to make her come.

“Alex?”

“Huh?” Alex shook her head.

“I was just asking how that Duchess of yours is doing,” Elizabeth said.

Alex’s eyes widened in surprise at the question, and she turned them toward Bexley, who looked at her confused. She hadn’t exactly told Bexley about Teresa, and now it probably looked as if she’d been hiding something.

“She’s notmyDuchess,” Alex replied, shooting Bexley a little smile.

“I thought you two were together. Your mother called–”

“Mymotherneeds to mind her own business,” Alex interrupted, sounding a little more annoyed than she’d intended. “Sorry, Lizzy. I didn’t mean to snap at you. It’s not you. It’s her.”

“Your mother or the Duchess?” Palmer asked.

“My mother.”
