I started to smile, then stopped. “Joking, right?”
“Yes, indeedy.”
“So how did you get into your line of work?”
“Engineering degree from MIT, of course.”
“I can’t tell if you’re kidding or not?”
“I’m serious. I went to school for engineering, then did a stint as a developer for a robotics company. I was bored to death. Saw an ad for a job making women’s products, and I applied, half as a joke. Seven years later, I’m still there.”
“So you like your job, then?”
“Mostly I enjoy the human-testing phase where I get to try the products out on people.”
My eyes grew wide.
Kelly’s blue eyes sparkled as he leaned in. “Breathe. I’m joking. There is a human-testing phase, but we just read their written feedback.”
That was pretty much how the next two hours went. Kelly entertained me with his dry sense of humor while we drank two bottles of delicious local wine. I couldn’t remember a time when I’d laughed so much on a first date, except…this wasn’t a date. After dinner, Kelly walked me to the elevator.
“What time do you want to meet for breakfast?”
“Is nine too late? Service ends at ten.”
“Works for me. ’Night, Sarah.”
“Goodnight, Kelly.”
Back in my room, I washed off my makeup and changed for bed. Even though wine usually made me sleepy, I felt a little wired as I slipped beneath the covers. I was also feeling a littleneedy. It must’ve been all that talk about vibrators. So I got back out of bed and went to the hidden pocket in my suitcase to grab the little toy I’d brought with me. It took all of three minutes to get myself off. When I was done, I set my pink vibrator on the end table and reached up to turn the light off. But something on the bottom of the toy caught my eye. It looked like a logo with two script letters entwined, and if I wasn’t mistaken, the letters wereLG. I lifted it for a closer inspection—sure enough, the manufacturer name stamped onto the bottom of the logo was listed asLucy Goosey.
Oh my God.
Was it possible that my tripmate was responsible for the orgasm I’d just had?
KELLY
Sarah was already seated, with a heaping plate from the buffet, when I spotted her in the restaurant. I headed straight for her table and slid into the seat across from her.
“Aren’t you gonna get food?” she asked with her mouth full. “I’m sorry—I was too hungry to wait.”
“I’ll get something in a minute. I want to ask you something first.”
“What’s up?”
Filled with adrenaline, I wriggled my brows. “Feel like going on a little excursion today?”
“Depends.”
“Do you have plans?” I asked.
She wiped her mouth with a napkin. “I booked an appointment at the spa for noon, actually.”
“Cancel it. I have something better.”
Sarah shook her head and sipped her coffee. “I don’t know what could be much better than a deep-tissue massage, but I’m listening.”
Stealing one of the grapes off the side of her plate, I chewed and said, “I rented an ATV to tour the beach. It’s the best way to see everything. It’s got two seats, so what a waste if I don’t have anyone to go with me.”
