DamonHe laid beside her, watching her sleep for what seemed like forever. The ache in the pit of his stomach was a staunch reminder that he hadn't eaten anything for dinner.Damon rolled onto his back and closed his eyes, breathing in deeply and trying to decide if ordering room service was his next step, or going down to the hotel bar. It was probably located on the beach, and with his luck, he'd run into Bridget, but something had to give.He rolled over and got out of bed as quietly as possible before pulling on a pair of slacks and a t-shirt. The concern over bumping into his ex was silly and unfounded. There was nothing at all to worry about. Bridget was still lusting over him after their last breakup, but she always would. The bitch loved to play the odds more than anyone else he knew.If it wasn't likely that she could get something, she wanted it more. He smirked as he shuffled around and finally found the room key. He couldn't help but think of all the times in the past wher
Damon"It's ugly, but we can fix it. I just need some time with the team and with the executive team at Zarpeth." Damon rolled his shoulders. "I'd rather not talk about work. I need a break from all of it.""No, I agree." Matt picked up a menu. "I'm starving. You guys want to split some appetizers.""Are they still serving food this late?" Damon's father leaned back and let out a long sigh.Damon waved at the bartender and reached for the menu in front of Matt. "You guys still serving food this late?""We sure are, sir. What can I get you?" The middle-aged native leaned forward and pointed to the top of the menu. "This platter is one of our top sellers. Never had a complaint off of it.""We'll take it." Damon handed the guy the menu and glanced behind him to see a large group of women sauntering up from the water. "That looks dangerous."Matt spun around in his seat and kept spinning. "Yep. Drunk women can only mean one thing.""Trouble," Damon and his father echoed each other.The th
BethanyBethany woke to the sound of the shower going. She stretched, the soreness between her thighs delicious and a great reminder. She had the most aggressive, demanding man in the universe. She smiled and sat up, more than happy to give over to his cravings anytime.She ran her fingers through her hair and walked into the bathroom, slipping into the shower with him."Good morning, sexy girl." He turned and reached for her.Bethany moved toward him, sliding her hands up his thick chest and over his shoulders. His body was honed for sex, his face model material. She lifted to her toes and pressed a long kiss on his mouth, the warm water rushing over her.She pulled back and reached for the soap before rubbing it all over him. Using her fingernails, she made small circles over his skin to make sure he was completely clean."My turn," he mumbled, his eyes hooded again."No way. We have breakfast this morning that I plan on making. Every time it's your turn we end up sweaty and covered
Bethany"See? Told you she looked like the top of an old broom mop. You're so insanely beautiful. She's got to be jealous. I would be." He kissed her ear again and moved back, picking up a large plate of waffles and holding it in front of her. "Here, baby. Get a big one, and we'll share it."Bethany glanced down the table, unable to help herself. Bridget only seemed to have eyes for Damon, but those eyes weren't showing joy at all. She looked rather pissed.Good.*"Damn that was delicious. If I could just live here and eat platters of bacon my life would be complete." Matt stretched, his bright yellow and orange t-shirt slipping up and showing the muscles of his stomach.Bethany ran her hand over them, tugging at his shirt in surprise. "You totally have a six-pack.""Of course I do. I work out. Hellur?" He tugged his shirt down and glanced behind Bethany as they all stood around the table. "Get your woman off of me. She's likely to fall for my beauty, creating a fissure between us th
BethanyThe boys won the game, but only by a point. Erica cussed the whole way back to the room as they danced and made a scene in the hall before the girls. Bethany couldn't help but laugh uncontrollably. Damon was beyond cute as he delighted in his brother's madness."This is such bullshit," she huffed and stopped at the room, glaring down the hall at them."Sore loser and you're going to be sore when I get done with you." Matt clapped his hands and high-fived Damon. If Matt and Erica ended up sleeping together, everyone would be shocked, Matthew especially."Promises. Promises." Erica slipped into the room with a soft chuckle under her breath. The girl was devious. She knew what she was doing.Bethany pressed her hand to the door and looked down the hall, catching Damon's attention as Matt slipped into their room. "That was fun.""It was, but don't forget later tonight when I strip you bare on the edge of the ocean and make love to you, that I get to. I won."A shiver ran through h
Bethany"Thanks. I appreciate that.""On a lighter note, what does the bridesmaid’s dress look like?" Erica moved back and took another drink of her coffee."It's actually white, funny enough. Mom wanted to wear a muted rose color since this isn't her first wedding. She bought me a pretty white dress that is relatively comfortable to wear." Bethany shrugged and turned her attention back to the beach as a large gaggle of girls jogged by in skimpy bikinis. Bridget was at the front of the pack."You have to be kidding me. Ugh." Bethany turned from the window and walked to one of the chairs at the kitchen table, sitting down.Erica moved to the door, looking out and shaking her head. "Desperation always screams louder than any other emotion.""That pretty blonde leading them is Damon's ex.""Oh. The chick from breakfast?" Erica moved closer to the door, peering out. "Hopefully she trips and eats it. I'm watching just in case. I'll replay the visual for you if it happens."Bethany laughed
DamonMatt reached out and patted the side of Damon's arm. "Just make sure she knows that you're not at all interested in Bridget anymore. That's what will keep things on the right track.""I already did." Damon ran his hand down his face and turned, feeling someone behind them. "I'll tell her a hundred more times if I need to.""What are your plans?""I'm going to go find Beth and see if she wants to lie out by the beach with me. It's a lazy afternoon, and from what Dad said, we aren't due to dinner until late tonight.""I'll come with you if you want.""Yeah, sure." Damon walked out into the hallway and made his way down to Bethany's room.Erica's voice surprised him as she walked up from behind them. "She's lying down. I just went to grab a Coke. You guys going to the beach?""Yeah." Damon turned to face Erica. "Is she all right?""I think so. She's just tired." Erica shrugged as her attention quickly turned to Matthew. It was almost comical to see how much the two of them liked ea
BethanyBethany woke to the quiet room around her, Erica nowhere in sight. The crimson rays of light coming through her open door brought in the awareness that it was close to dinner time. Bethany slipped out of the sheets and picked up her phone, three messages from Damon looking for her. They stopped just after lunch. He must have realized that she was taking a nap.Running her fingers through her long hair, she yawned loudly and walked to the bathroom as the conversation with Matt and Damon rolled over her again. She was making too much of it."Let it go. Stop letting shit threaten to ruin what you guys have going." She looked at herself in the mirror before picking up a container of powder. She brushed some over her nose and put her earrings back on before dressing in a coral sundress and slipping on her sandals. The cut of the dress made her breasts center stage for the outfit, but it wasn't slutty or inappropriate, just extremely feminine.She walked out of the room and texted D
