“Not me.I plan to spend a relaxing morning in bed with my girl,” Hunter said.

Ryker cleared his throat.“I might.Text me in the morning.”

“What?You got better plans?”Jacob asked.“We’re talking sunshine, sand, and women in bikinis.”

“There’s something I might have to do,” he said.

“That’s vague as hell.Whatever, we’ll have the ladies to ourselves,” Noah said.

“Speaking of ladies, I see the one I was with heading back my way.Gentlemen,” Jacob said, rising from his seat with a smirk.He pulled out his wallet and tossed some cash down on the table.

“Gentlemen?”Ryker asked in disbelief.

“He was talking about me,” Hunter quipped.“Just ask Emma.”

Jacob said hello to the woman and then wrapped his arm around her shoulder, pulling her close as they walked to the front door.Noah shook his head, turning back to his buddies.“And then there were three.”

“I’ll drink to that,” Hunter said, tipping his bottle at Noah and Ryker.

Noah chuckled, taking a swig of his beer.His gaze drifted across Anchors, and he thought again about Bailey.He wondered what she was doing and if his buddy Owen and those other guys were still there.

Probably not given they were out on a Bachelor’s party bar crawl.And he had no reason to go back there to see her again.He rejoined the conversation with his friends, trying to relax and forget about standing there on the beach with her.

This town was full of single, beautiful women.There was no need for him to get hung up on her.

BAILEY WALKED DOWNthe Virginia Beach boardwalk Saturday morning, her flip-flops slapping against the wood.The ocean breeze blew through her hair, and her lightweight sundress ruffled in the breeze.

She grinned at the group of guys jogging toward her who were appreciatively checking her out.Each shirtless, showing off enviable ripped abdomens, with tanned skin and muscles upon muscles, they were a sight to behold.

The three guys looked like they could’ve been SEALs from Little Creek or sailors stationed over in Norfolk, except they didn’t have their hair cropped in the standard military fashion.That, and the military guys around here usually trained together on base.

Still, she didn’t mind a little eye candy on her way to meet her bestie for brunch.With the long strand of restaurants and hotels on one side of the boardwalk, and the wide stretch of beach on the other, it was already filling up on this gorgeous day.
