"It's my morning to cook breakfast," he said, stepping out of the way and showing the feast behind him.
"You take turns cooking?" I took a sip of my scalding hot coffee, wincing when it hit my tongue.
"Just breakfast." He handed me a plate full of more food than I could ever eat. "So, will you two love birds be joining us for our annual scavenger hunt tonight after dark?" Maverick set a stack of plates out.
"Scavenger hunt?"
"No," Christian barked behind me. "She will not be participating in your stupid scavenger hunt tonight."
"She?" Maverick laughed. "What about you?"
Christian leaned in, kissing my forehead before saying, "We will not be participating in your stupid game."
"Wait, why not?" It sounded like fun.
"Just trust me." Christian grabbed a coffee cup. "Eat." He shoved my plate closer to me.
Rolling my eyes, I took a bite.
"What about the after-party," Maverick laughed.
"No!" Christian took a seat beside me. His eyes narrowed on Maverick's and his lips pursed, challenging Maverick to keep going. "We will not be participating in any of your games tonight."
"Someone want to fill me in?" I threw my hands up.
"Christian?" Maverick questioned, adding more pancake batter to the hot pan. Christian didn't answer.
"Unless you're scared, you won't win."
"We'll play," I said, standing my ground. I wasn't scared of a stupid game.
"No, you won't," Christian growled. "The scavenger hunt is nothing but a big perverted checklist of random sexual acts that have to be performed by random strangers on the boardwalk for your group to win." He put his face level with mine. "You're mine, and if anyone touches you, I'll kill them."
I swallowed hard. He was right. We shouldn't play the game. I didn't want Christian to go to jail, and performing sexual acts on strangers didn't sound like a good time.
"So, you have to walk up to a stranger and ask to fuck them?" My mouth twisted with curiosity.
"Not exactly," Maverick answered. "Your checklist could say go down on a random stranger or make out with a stranger. Everyone in the group must do something on the checklist."
Considering I'd had sex for the first time yesterday, this probably wasn't a game I'd be good at anyway.
"The after-party is a big orgy where everyone ends up fucking everyone," Christian said. "The only person you'll be fucking tonight is me."
I couldn't argue with that.
"Looks like we're out." I shrugged.
"Party poopers," Maverick teased.
Standing on the second-floor terrace, I watched each movement of the glittering ocean sparkle against the moonlight. The beach was packed, with everyone getting ready for the scavenger hunt.
"Why would anyone want to play a game like that," I asked when Christian stepped out of the bedroom and onto the terrace dressed in a tee and shorts.
"It was fun once upon a time ago," he chuckled, leaning on the railing beside me. "Before you." We watched Chloe, Aiden, and Maverick reviewing their list below us.
"Have you played before?"
"A few times," he nodded.
