His reference about Cress had my fists clenching tight but Reno wasn’t the type of man you exposed weaknesses too. I’d have to kill him if he ever tried to use Cress as one of mine.
But she was and there wasn’t a damn thing I could do about it.
“Are you keeping tabs on me, Reno?” I was barely able to keep my tone level.
“Come on, Elias, you know me better than that.”
I did know him. He was the type that camouflaged threats in casual conversation. Mentioning Cress was his way of letting me know that he thought he could control me.
“I know you, Reno, which is why I’m going to ask you again. Are you keeping tabs on me?”
“No, but word travels. Regardless of where you are, you used to be associated with me. People tell me things. I don’t have to ask.”
“As long as you know you don’t need to fucking ask. My life is no longer any of your business, Reno. It never was. Stop fucking calling me.”
I ended the call, gripping my phone so tightly that I was surprised it didn’t shatter in my hand. I didn’t know how long I sat there before a calm settled over me from something as simple as her touch. A hand on my thigh then her weight on my body as she climbed into my lap. She settled her head on my shoulder and I leaned back bringing her down with me.
“You left me in bed,” she mumbled, voice low and raspy from having just woken up and not being fully awake.
I kissed her forehead and moved one hand soothingly up her back, gripping her thigh with the other.
“I couldn’t sleep.”
She hummed under her breath. “Then I can’t sleep.”
I smiled into her hair and kissed the top of her head. “What about now?”
“Now I can.” She snuggled closer and her scent wrapped around me, the warmth of her body seeped into my skin. Her breathing leveled and she drifted back to sleep and just that quickly my world was right again.

“Stop poutingand come in the water with me.”
“I’m not pouting.”
It was a lie. I was most definitely pouting. This was our last evening here. The week crawled by at a snail's pace but in a good way. Everything about our time here felt surreal. Nothing existed but us.
Elias and I had been in our own world and it felt right.
Perfect.
I wasn’t ready to go back to the real world. No matter how much I was going to suffer when I settled back into my training after we arrived home, it was going to be worth it. I hadn’t danced in a week but my body had been thoroughly worked over every day that we’d been here. Another reason why I wasn’t in a hurry to leave.
My things at home had been packed and would be delivered to Elias’s home before we returned, which meant that sex would no longer be as private as it had been here. Our bungalow was a mile away from the resort. He and I both walked around naked, freely without a second thought, but when we got home I would be living under the same roof with not just Elias but his brother and his wife.
Their house was enormous and they both occupied two separate wings but still, each time he made me cum, I would know that there were other people possibly within earshot.
“Cress….”
“Can’t we stay here?”
He swam closer but still remained far enough out that I knew he wasn’t getting out.
“We can stay as long as you want but your offseason will be over soon. If we don’t go home, you can’t dance.”
I shrugged and smiled. “I can dance here,for you. Didn’t you make me an offer to be your private dancer?”
