"Why would I do that?" I lower my voice so the others can't hear. "When I fucked you every which way last night."

Because, yes, after vomiting my happiness, I was able to fuck my happiness. For many,manyhours.

"I've got an idea," I announce loudly enough for Leo and Rove to hear. "Let's go for a swim."

"What about the food?" Leo teases, looking up from his phone.

"Fuck the food. It's a glorious day in paradise. I'm with my closest friends. I have a boyfriend for the first time in my life. And the neon pink G-string I'm wearing under these boardshorts is fitting me so snug it'd be a crime not to show it off. Can life get any better?"

"No, it cannot," I murmur into Tal's ear even though I'm pretty sure it was a rhetorical question.

Life is pretty damn peachy, and it's about to get a whole lot peachier. I'm about to get my first glimpse of the infamous neon pink G-string.

While Leo and Rove strip out of their shorts and dive into the turquoise water, Tal leads me over to the main deck.

"I'm going to need you to pinch me," he says.

"Is that before or after you strip off and show me the goods?"

"Either. Both." He laughs. "I still can't believe you're here. I can't believe we're…"

"Boyfriends."

"Yeah. That word."

"Wait. You're not going to throw up again, are you?"

He bursts out laughing, and in all my years of knowing him, I've never seen him this happy. He's radiant.

I pull him in nice and close. "Well, you have my brothers and their amazing partners to thank for me hauling my ass halfway across the planet, and you have yourself to thank for having the courage to tell me how you feel."

"It took me damn well long enough."

"Hey." I brush my fingers down the side of his face. "It doesn't matter how long it took. We're here now, and that's what counts."

He leans against the guardrail and pins me with a questioning look. "When did you know…that you loved me?"

"The second you left. I think that up until that point, I was processing the enormity of what you'd said. But as soon as you were gone, my feelings rose to the surface, and I knew, more than I've ever known anything in my life, that I'm completely and utterly in love with you, but…"

Tal frowns. "But what?"

I give him a kiss on the lips and smile. "But that could all change if you don't get out of those shorts right now, mister. I'm dying to see ol' neon pink. Come on, don't make me wait any longer."

He laughs again and takes a step back. "Deal. Hey, Google," he calls out. "Play Tal's Stripper Playlist number 3."

"Number three?" I lift a brow. "Do I even want to know?

"Probably not. I'll get rid of them all. I only need one playlist now."

"The Tal's in Love playlist," I suggest, grinning.

He grins back. "Damn straight."

"Glad to hear it." I rub my hand down his chest. "Now strip and show me what you're working with."
