Chapter 31 : A Step Toward Peace

**Cat POVJason and I drove up and down the coast, seeing the ocean from multiple views, including clifftops. It was absolutely gorgeous.Then he took me to where the locals currently lived. They'd put together a small city for themselves, but many of the buildings were poorly constructed and not adequate shelter against the elements. I could see why they needed an upgrade. "The architecture here is pretty unique," I said, pointing it out to Jason. "Yeah, the locals have a very distinct style. If you want to take notes, you can use these styles for the new development," he suggested. "That's a great idea," I said. I spent so much time looking at the buildings, I hardly noticed the people or the little shops they had set up. "Cat, come on. There is a seafood restaurant right over here. It is the best kept secret on the island and probably the best seafood in all the Caribbean," Jason said, grabbing my arm and tugging me along. "I thought you said you packed lunch," I

Chapter 32 : Helping the Underdog

**Cat POV"Luke, where's Victoria? Simon wants to talk to her about business," Barbs said, standing up. Luke pursed his lips, but he only spared Barbs a quick glance before looking back at me. "Come on, get ready. We're already going to be late," he said, pointing to his watch. "Late for what?" I asked, creasing my brow. Luke pulled out his phone. "Didn't you get any of my texts?""Um… no." I grabbed my phone from the kitchen and scrolled through my notifications. I didn't have anything from Luke. "When did you send them?""I sent a bunch throughout the day," Luke explained. I shook my head. "I didn't get any. Oh… I was driving around the island, I probably didn't have reception.""Well, we are going somewhere special, so dress like it," Luke said, nodding to my bedroom. My cheeks warmed, and I looked down. He was being more forward than I expected, especially in front of my friend. "I want to talk to Victoria, Luke. Is she over at your Villa?" Barbs asked.

Chapter 33 : The Perfect Storm

**Cat POVLuke shot up from the table, lighting more candles. The room filled with a soft, orange glow. I stayed put, my body feeling cold when the windows started rattling the house. "Are there shutters on the windows?" I asked when I looked over and saw the glass visibly wiggling in the frame. "Not yet. I haven't storm-proofed this property," Luke reminded me. The window at the end of the table blew open. The wind whipped around the room, shaking the paintings on the wall and making the tablecloth flutter. Luke ran over to the window and forced it closed. He shoved a nearby bookcase in front of it. The other windows started rattling just as violently. I stood up from the table and went to Luke. "We can't block off all the windows," I said. Another clap of thunder shook the entire house. Boom! Crash!I felt a tremor through the floor. "What was that?" I asked in a hushed voice. I was holding tightly to Luke's arm, looking around like I expected the

Chapter 34 : 7 Minutes in Heaven

Luke's hands gripped my butt, and he lifted me up, sliding me onto a counter or cabinet in the closet. I couldn't tell what I was sitting on. The smooth wood was cool on my backside. He kissed my neck, and I tipped my head back, moaning as I popped one button at a time off Luke's shirt. It was pitch black, making all my senses heightened. He brushed his fingers along my thighs and my skin shivered, puckering with goose flesh. I sighed and shuddered, my fingers curling tightly around the edges of his half-unbuttoned shirt. Luke's lips brushed my ear. He nibbled on my earlobe and then whispered to me. "Is this okay, Cat? Do you want this?""Yes," I gasped, my hands tightening around his damp shirt. His breathing became ragged, and his hands squeezed my thighs almost painfully. He pried my legs apart forcefully. My stomach fluttered and dropped, and I moaned again. Luke nuzzled my neck and started kissing and nibbling along my throat. Heat pooled between my

Chapter 35 : Wilderness Adventure

Cat POVWhen I woke up, I found that Luke and I were tightly curled together in a ball on the pantry floor. It was cold, but his warm skin was keeping the worst of it away. Outside the pantry, I could hear the pitter-patter of light rain outside but the roar of the wind was gone, and I couldn't hear any thunder anymore. "Luke," I whispered, shaking him gently. He grunted and opened his eyes. "Ugh, it is still so dark," he groaned. "We're still closed up in a closet," I reminded him, laughing lightly. "Oh, right. I was dreaming about something else," Luke said with an amused tone in his voice. He placed his hand on my bare back, and I started, still unable to see what he was doing. "I thought you said storms were quick and violent around here. This wasn't a quick storm at all," I said. "It sounds like things have calmed down. Let's go take a look." I heard Luke stand up and jiggle the doorknob. When he opened the door, a stream of dim sunlight came in. I

Chapter 36 : Not the Greatest Rescue

Cat POVThe helicopter hovered above us, and a thick line came down. Luke grabbed me and pulled me out of the way. I didn't understand at first, but then a guy came gliding down the line. He landed hard on the ground and lifted the visor on his helmet. "Luke Carter?" he asked, pointing at Luke. "That's me," Luke called over the sound of the helicopter. "Are you well? Are you injured?" the man asked. Luke nodded and shook his head. "We found shelter through the storm. We didn't have any reception and our phones died.""I have an emergency kit if you need it, but this helicopter can't bring both of you back to the resort. Do you want to go one at a time?" the rescuer asked. I grabbed Luke's arm. "Neither of us should be alone out here.""We're not separating," Luke shouted over the loud helicopter. "Your father sent us to find you when he couldn't get you on the phone all night. Almost all the roads are washed out, but we can send a rescue vehicle that is equip

Chapter 37 : Joking?

Cat POV"You're joking, right?" I asked. Luke shrugged. "No, not really.""Well, you can't be serious. That would be… I'm not even invited!" I said, throwing my arms out to the sides. "Cat, what better way to stick it to Aaron than show him that you're happy and moving on?" Luke asked, grinning a challenge at me. "But… I… but Victoria will be there, too. She's Fiona's friend, and she's still your pretend girlfriend," I argued when I realized Luke was serious. I couldn't believe that he had suggested it. Go to Aaron's wedding? Though, there was some logic in his suggestion. "It would be inappropriate. I'm Aaron's ex. I don't belong there. Besides, we both know Victoria will be there, and you haven't told her the ruse is over," I said. "This storm is a big setback on the project. I'll have plenty of time to repair things with Victoria's father on the land sale, with or without her blessing. There's no need to continue that façade." Luke took my hand and brushed h

Chapter 38 : Wedding Plans?

Cat POVKnock. Knock. Knock!I sat bolt upright. I didn't know I had fallen asleep until a furious knocking on my cabin door jolted me awake. Grunting, I rubbed the sleep from my eyes. After leaving Luke, I'd taken a long bath. I realized I was still in my bathrobe. I hadn't even gotten into pajamas before passing out. "I'll be right there," I called to whoever was knocking. There wasn't any time to change. The knocking was more and more insistent. When I opened the door, three women walked right in. Between them, they rolled a dress rack stuffed full of hangers and nice dresses. Another set of women came in carrying shoe boxes. "Um… what is all this?" I asked, jumping out of the way to avoid getting run over by the dress cart. "Oh good, you're already in a robe. That will make trying on dresses easier," the first woman to enter my cabin said. "Trying on dresses?" I asked, raising an eyebrow. "Yes, yes. We are from the boutique at the resort." She stepped

Chapter 39 : Wedding Day

Luke POVThe wedding ceremony seemed like it had taken forever. I'd sat near the back, alone, watching my younger sister get married. She had been glowing and smiling, but when I'd looked at Aaron, it seemed like he wasn't thrilled. After they'd said their vows and kissed, all the guests moved to the garden for the reception. I was still bummed that Cat had decided not to come with me. If she'd been there, I was sure we'd have a way to make it all entertaining. I stood with a small group of investors that had been invited as a courtesy. I'd hoped that by inviting them, they would give me their investment money. A limo pulled up outside the garden. I'd only half been paying attention to the conversation my investors were having, so I was happy for the slight distraction. As far as I knew, all the guests had arrived. At least, the ones my family deemed as important. Who would be arriving late in a limo? It was enough to get my attention. The driver opened the back doo

Chapter 40 : Just Get Over It

Cat POVI had to go into the resort to find the bathroom. When I pushed the bathroom door open, someone grabbed me and pulled me into a nearby closet. "H-hey!" I snapped, pushing at the person that grabbed me. "Cat, it's just me, calm down," Aaron's voice said through the dim lighting. "What!?" I cried. I reached around and found a light switch, flipping it on. Aaron and were pressed together in the small closet, only about a foot between us. He was looking down, his eyes sunken in. He had his hands stuffed into his pockets like he wanted to show me that he wouldn't touch me again. "What is this about, Aaron?" I snapped. I pushed at his chest again, making him step further away from me. "I wanted to talk to you. When I saw you in that dress… well, I remembered all the reasons I fell in love with you, why I still love you," Aaron said. I groaned and rolled my eyes. This couldn't be happening! Aaron had just said his wedding vows. Did he think I would fall for thi
