“Mommy, look who I found. Dominic.”

I bend to kiss her cheek. “Good to see you, Beth.” I linger a few seconds too long and take in her delicious scent. I whisper, “Eres comestible.”You’re edible.

As I pull away, I see her bite her lip. All I ever have to do is speak Spanish to her and her arousal skyrockets. I love it.

I give a long sniff and then wink at her. She mouths, “Addict,” and I smile.

After everyone sets up the tents, half the class is assigned a hiking trail, and half is assigned watersports. We’ll flipflop activities in the afternoon.

Beth and Luke are in our group, as are Brody and Scotty. The kids all run ahead, leaving the three of us chatting.

Brody says, “I’m not sure I should tell you this, but the kids are planning something. A special covert operation.”

Beth and I look at each other in confusion.

He nods. “Yep, it’s calledOperation Alone Time. They’re convinced that if they get you two to spend time alone tonight, you’ll get back together. Luke and Valentina seem to want it.” He smiles. “They asked me to lock you two in the port-a-potty. I had to tell them that it’s not a romantic place.”

The three of us laugh about it.

Beth shakes her head. “That’s kind of cute, but a port-a-potty? Hell no.”

I grab her hand and kiss it. “Don’t knock ‘til you try it, princesa.”

Brody smiles at our interaction. “I remember what it was like to sneak around.” He lets out a laugh. “Be careful, though. Scotty was conceived during our sneaking around.”

Beth squeezes my hand in silent innuendo. Yep, my girl is game for some sneaking around.

BETH

This has officially been the day from hell. Not that the activities are bad. They’re fine, and Luke is blissfully happy. It’s hell to be around Dominic but not to be able to have him close. I’ve grown accustomed to how touchy-feely he can be. I need his hands on my body.

We’re now on the lake doing various activities. Frankly. I’m having a hard time focusing. Dominic in a bathing suit is slowly killing me. He’s the sexiest man in existence.

And then he makes it worse by being so great with the kids, especially Luke. Luke’s reaction to seeing him today has me thinking. Maybe it’s time for us to involve the kids. If we did, I’d be sleeping in that tent tonight with him instead of with Rachel, the talker. She doesn’t shut up. I get that we’re the only moms here, but give it a rest, woman.

As if I willed her to come to me, she sits down next to me on the dock. “Are you looking at Dominic or Brody, because holy hell! Eye candy explosion and vagina butterflies. Am I right?”

Did she just sayvagina butterflies?

I narrow my eyes at her. “Brody is like family to me.Marriedfamily.”

In fairness to her, Brody is gorgeous. He’s got blond hair, blue eyes, and a body that looks like he works out all day, not spends his time in surgery all day. But that’s not who I’m looking at. I’m looking at the man that’s causing me to get in the water every few minutes just to cool down.

She smiles. “So it’s Dom. I’ve always wanted a Latin lover. I hear it’s amazing. And he’s so big. I bet everything is big.” She’s got no idea just how right she is. About all of it.

She keeps rambling on, but I’m not listening. I’m looking at my man, who’s suddenly become the forbidden fruit. I’m dying to take a bite.

He turns and looks at me, taking in my bikini-clad body. He licks that lower lip of his, which drives me wild. Who am I kidding? Everything he does drives me wild.

My nipples harden. I think he has nipple-radar because his eyes immediately drop to my breasts.

He turns around and discreetly adjusts himself.

Knowing he’s hard right now has my whole body on high alert. We’re definitely not making it through the night.

“What about you, Beth?”
