Lily takes my glass from me and finishes off my champagne. “Not at all.”
Chapter21

Midday sun beatsdown around us at the cove. It reminds me so much of the small inlet Lily and I were at a couple of weeks ago.
The bonfire that changedeverything.
Except now, a lack of people crowd the shoreline. One of the best parts about my surfing class has been discovering so many of the locals-only beaches in Rio. This secluded cove is perfect for the tandem surfing session today.
“I’m so wet.” Lily pants under the hot sun as I wax the surfboard.
She returned to acting like nothing’s out of the ordinary. Maybe I was off base with my presumption that she’s somehow connected to this Zoe Mona personality.
Or I’m closer to the truth than she lets on.
“You haven’t even gotten into the water yet.”
She faces me, wiping sweat off her forehead. “Why is no one else getting ready?”
“They did their tandem surfs yesterday,” I say, keeping a straight face.
The rest of my surf class sits by the shoreline, drinking and setting up firewood for our sunset end of class celebration. I can’t believe I convinced Lily that to graduate surf school I needed a partner to tandem surf with.
She might kill me, but I couldn’t resist getting her to try something new.
I yank the board beneath one of my arms.
“You look like a sexy aquatic version of Catwoman.” I eye Lily in her all-black swim attire.
“Cats don’t like water.”
“Your constantly wet pussy says otherwise.”
“Oh, shut up.” She swats me with the back of her hand. “Forget what I said about being wet. It’s a full-blown Sahara Desert there now.”
“Need me to assist?” I land a heavy drop of spit on two of my fingers and hold the wet digits up to her face.
She rolls her eyes.
“Just your fingers? I was hoping for your tongue.” Lily wraps her hand around my wet fingers and drags them toward her lips.
Wow, I was expecting a slap on the cheek.
I swallow. “Anything you want,princesa.”
She smirks before dropping her lips open. My pulse hammers in my ears. In a blink, she swipes my hand from her mouth and straight into my face.
I yip. A gob of spit trickles from my eye.
I deserved that.
“Exactly what I wanted.” Lily hikes up her nose before she trots off down the beach.
“You’re wild.” I wipe my skin clean, tighten the surfboard leash around my ankle and chase after her like a puppy.
“I know, and you’re lucky you’re cute. Now, can we get this over with?”
