She gets to the side of the bed and my hands find her hips. Before she knows it, I’m lifting her up and laying her next to me.

“We only have two days left,” she says, tracing some unknown design onto my abs with her fingertip. “What do you want to do?”

I swallow hard, hoping she doesn’t notice my chest suddenly rising and falling a little quicker. “I don’t know. Nothing in particular. You have anything in mind?”

“Not really. Just relax.”

I laugh, my voice bouncing a little more than usual.

She raises her eyebrows at me. “What?”

I gotta divert. Fast.

“You’re gorgeous.”

She snorts. “That wasn’t what you were just thinking.”

I grab her hand and place it on my cock. Her eyes grow wide as soon as she feels how hard I am for her already.

“Tell me that wasn’t what I was thinking.”

“Okay.” She giggles, stroking my length. “Maybe you were.”

“Maybe I was,” I say, bending forward and kissing her. “Maybe I always am.”

“Are you sure?”I look at Cane, still lying in bed. His chest and one leg are sticking out of the white sheets and all I want to do is climb back in with him. “I’d really like to just jump back in there with you.”

He grins his boyish smile.

“That’s not helping things.” I laugh.

He folds his arms behind his head, the muscles in his arms flexing.

“That’s not either.”

“I really want you to go with Kari. She made reservations last night for you two to have all that girly shit done.”

“But we do spa days all the time. I don’t need to do them here.”

His face grows serious. “I think she and Max are having problems. I’m not sure. I think they’re trying to get some time apart while we’re here. So just go and relax and enjoy your day and I’ll take Max golfing or some stupid shit.”

“I can’t see you golfing.” Images of him tossing his clubs across the lawn makes me giggle.

“Yeah, I wasn’t really built for it. We do a lot of business on thegolf course, but Max goes to a lot of that stuff. Golf pisses me off usually.”

“Imagine that.”

He shrugs.

I don’t really want to go. I want to climb back into bed and just spend the entire day in his arms. But if he’s right and Kari needs me, I can’t say no. I look at him again. His hair is tousled and he has a sleepy, sexy grin on his face.

It’s for Kari...

“Last chance to keep me here. In bed.Naked.”
