But for the big price tag, Jacob needed to know he’d use it. Sure his family would stay from time to time. But would he come out here alone? Or use it for a little sex-scapade with his gang?

When he imagined that, it felt wrong.

Like a heavy feeling in his chest.

Is that really how he saw his future? He was questioning everything about himself right now.

Was it because of Ward?

Or Leilani?

Or perhaps it was both of them.

He accepted the cup of coffee and sat down on one of the sun loungers around the pool and lowered his sunglasses. He’d left his shirt off, and just wore his long shorts after looking out the window and seeing it was a gorgeous day.

After three long sips, he stretched out his legs and closed his eyes.

Had it been a mistake to bring a woman to the Hamptons? Being around happily married couples in a bubble like this could fuck with your mind.

They all made it look easy.

Or a little insane.

Perhaps a bit of both.

Leilani was different from other women. He’d liked her from the moment he’d laid eyes on her. At first, all he could think of was getting his mouth on her. Mostly between her legs. Then, the more he teased her, the more he wanted to talk to her.

The moment he’d seen the tears in her eyes at the event last weekend, Jacob had felt a tug inside him that really only existed for the people in his life he called family.

Yet a few minutes later, he was spinning her around on the dance floor.

Then kissing her.

Then fucking her.

But if he tried to use that crass term about what they’d done since arriving in the Hamptons, it would be a lie.

Sure he loved talking dirty, and he was fucking her sweet pussy with his cock. But it was more meaningful than that.

Leilani was his.

It was all he was willing to admit to himself at this point.

It didn’t mean he could keep her, but right now, she belonged to him. They had two more days, and he was going to enjoy every minute.

The nurse had been reporting in daily—Lani was in contact with her mom directly also—and so they could both relax and enjoy the holiday.

His eyes flew open as he heard the chop, chop, chop sound of a helicopter approaching.

Fuck.

Then the air shifted as the vessel lowered and landed on the front lawn of the house.

Knox Montgomery had arrived.

FLETCHER SURPRISED THEM all with a day out on the ocean. He’d organized for the Dufort launch to be brought to the Hamptons by the captain that usually managed the ship.
