About a dozen people are still hanging around as the staff set up a dinner service inside. Conversations slow or quiet as we approach, and I lean on the bar, tugging Jenson up tight behind me. He almost stumbles but catches himself, bracing a hand next to me.
“Two shots of whiskey, please. Doubles.”
I feel him go stiff. So he wants me to work for it? He wants a show? In front of all these people, he can’t say anything or pull away. And he knows that.
The bartender gives us a strange look but pours the shots into tumblers. I take both and turn. The space between Jenson and I is nonexistent. My breasts drag across his chest as I stare up into his gray-blue eyes.
“Let’s get a little buzzed, babe,” I stage whisper, loud enough for the couple seated nearby to overhear. “I want to tie you to the headboard tonight andput you to work.”
There’s a dangerous flicker in his eyes, a challenge. But he takes the tumbler and throws the whiskey back. I do the same, feeling it take the edge off my nerves.
The couple next to us looks scandalized and moves away. I drag Jenson over toward an alcove. Not exactly discreet—it’s clearly visible to those still out on the patio, but gives the illusion of privacy if you’re not paying attention.
With no warning, I press him back against a pillar and let my fingers trail up his thigh, feelinghimshiver this time. Stopping just shy of his crotch, I wrap my arms around his neck and press up on the balls of my feet. He’s still got a few inches on me so I weave my fingers through his hair and give a slight tug.
He makes a sound of surprise as our lips meet.
For once, I’ve broken Jenson Sharpe’s cool exterior.
He wasn’t always like this, my mind reminds me. So hard to catch off guard, so stoic. I like surprising him.
Jenson grunts into my mouth, his hands finally coming up to support me as I rock against him. I drag my right leg up to his hip and hook it there, bringing our centers together. It’s already obvious that he’s wrapped around my finger. His hot, hard erection presses against my core, and I have to fight to stay clearheaded.Ineed to be the one in control now.
“Is this enough of a show?” I ask, glancing over his shoulder to see the people still on the patio looking scandalized.
His hand comes up and squeezes my ass as he leans in to kiss me again. But I continue to tease him, turning in his arms, pressing my ass against his erection just enough to give him an idea of what he could have.
Before Jenson can get a hold of himself, I walk away and leave him in the alcove. One look back—that’s all I allow myself.
He looks appalled, shocked, disheveled, and delicious. A grin graces my lips as I head inside to change for dinner.

For the next twenty minutes,my heart pounds in my chest. I rinse off quickly in the shower and wait to hear the door open, but Jenson never comes. It takes a while to come down off the high and face reality—I want him. Badly.
But he wants you just as much.
It’s reassuring, and a little daunting. Back in the day, we were totally consumed with each other. We knew each other’s bodies, what would send us over the edge, what drove the other crazy. As I towel off, I ignore the way my pussy throbs from wanting him.
“I need to get my head on straight,” I mutter to myself, standing in the center of the living area.
And then it hits me. I need to call Jodie.
A reminder ofwhyI’m going along with this crazy plan is just what the doctor ordered.
Chapter10
Jenson
I give it some time before I head back to the suite.
Mostly because if I follow Mel in, I know I’ll rip off that tight little bathing suit and have my way with her. There’s no way she isn’t as soaking wet as I am hard, and giving in to our desires seems like the best idea I’ve ever had in the moment.
Instead, I wait behind the pillar, slowing my breath and counting backward from a hundred until my dick gets a hold of itself. I can’t walk out of here hard and ready. That’s a little too far, even for me.
Besides, I need to convince Roy that I’m settling down—not that I’m obsessed with fucking my childhood sweetheart.
But that’s the way this is going. You want her. You want to bury yourself inside her and—
