We chose the Isle of Kala for the same reason so many people do—anonymity. I can explore this relationship in privacy.
We’d been on Kala for twenty-four hours before our boudoir shoot. We didn’t waste our time taking it slow, but jumped right into fucking as soon as we were led to our accommodations. I won’t go so far as to say it’s mind-blowing, but it’s… good.
I wonder if he also feels a little disappointed at the lack of chemistry between us in person. Then again, I wonder if maybe I only feel that way since we left the shoot a few hours ago. It’s difficult trying to remember how I felt before stepping into the studio.
Was I smitten? Was I convinced that it’s just as good in person as it had hinted at being over the phone?
“I can’t wait to see the photos,” Tomy says. “They’re going to be so hot.”
He’s a gorgeous man. He has classic good looks with perfect hair and the kind of smile that renders all genders stupid. He also has the kind of looks that transform with his personality and anything you put him in.
Then there’s his voice. It’s sweet and innocent, but he can also turn it deep and sexy. But when he sings, it fucking breaks your heart. I’ve been hypnotized by his voice when he’s sent me recordings. There was one that I must have listened to on repeat for an hour. Considering it was an eighty-second recording, that’s a lot.
“Yeah,” I agree.
“They were super nice there,” he says.
“Everyone has been.”
Tomy nods.
Just hours. It’s been only a few fucking hours, and I’m still thinking about Dylan Spruce. He was tiny, sexy in a one-piece and heels with just a touch of black around his eyes, making them loud.
I’veneverbeen so… captivated by a single person so instantly in my entire life. I’m not even sure what it is about him that made me stare like I did. If I’m being mean and maybe judgmental, I think Tomy is probably hotter than he is.
I glance at Tomy, ready to convince myself that’s the truth. That’s the problem with attraction, though. It’s entirely subjective. All my life, I’ve heard that there’s someone out there for everyone and that person, the one who’s made for me, will be my absolute everything. No one will ever compare.
Once, I might have thought Tomy was divine. Now I’m less sure. I see flaws where I once hadn’t, which is fucking stupid. He’s beautiful.
He feels me looking at him and meets my eyes with a smile. I sigh. “I’m sorry. I’ve been kind of quiet.”
Tomy shrugs. “That guy got under your skin.”
“I hid it well, I see.”
He laughs. “Neither of you hid it. You’re very obviously attracted to each other.”
I’m not sure it has much to do with attraction, if I’m honest. Yes, he took my breath away once I actually looked at him, but it goes deeper than that. There aren’t words to explain it because I don’t understand. So yeah, I’ll agree that we were attracted to each other.
I suppose that’s a comfort, right? It was clear we both felt it. Dylan Spruce was just as struck dumb as I was. Hell, I’m not known for being quiet, but I think I might have spoken no more than three words the entire time we were there. I’ve barely spoken more than that since we left.
I’m being a jerk. Tomy deserves better.
“What’s up now? Did we have plans?” I ask.
Tomy points. “You were going to check out the sports shop, and I was going to stop inside the old-timey movie rental place and look around. I want to see how the dinosaurs lived.”
I laugh. “We were both alive when movie rentals were common.”
“We were kids.”
“Wasn’t working in a movie rental store your first job?”
“For three months before they closed.”
We were both surprised and had a good laugh when we found out they had a movie rental store on the resort, specifically for the guests. There are televisions in all the rooms, but streaming is limited because technology is choked to protect their guests’ privacy and anonymity as promised.
And thus, there’s a rental store so we can load up on movies if we choose. It’s pretty funny, actually. I told him to check it out, and I’ll stop in the sports shop to see what they have. I imagine their hockey collection is limited, but maybe they’ll be open to expanding.
