Did I fall asleep on the beach while reading—
“Let’s pick up and get changed,” Crystal says, pulling me from my thoughts. She’s grabbing her bag and mine, trying to hide the blush on her face while avoiding Evan’s intense stare.
It’s real. He’s real. This is happening and I…I like it. I’m attracted to him. “Sounds good.”
“Bathrooms aren’t too far from here, chica.” There’s a hint of urgency in her tone; she wants to get me alone, and fast. Crissy looks up at me then, pleading with me to hurry.
We need to talk. Find a logical explanation as to where these two walking gods came from?
“Can we meet back at the pier in thirty?” I ask Nick while bending at the waist to pick up my towel and discarded items. His groan behind me is low, but I hear him and rush to stand. Arms full of my belongings, I turn to look at him while fighting a smile. “Does that work for you?”
“No.” Even his grunt is sexy.
“Come again?”
Nicholas once again invades my space, close enough that his scent envelopes me. “No, that doesn’t work for me.” My lips part, a million and one questions sitting on my tongue, but they die when he cages my face in his hands. When he strokes my cheek with his thumb. “I’ll walk you over and hold whatever you need me to while you change. Then, whenever you are ready, we can walk together to grab a bite. Whatever you want. The where and what doesn’t matter to me.”
