“Hey,” she called quietly, placing her hand on my arm. “Don’t worry about it. You don’t know Colt and sadly we know how things are in this business. Rarely are couples faithful with long distances keeping them apart, thinking they can get away with it, the egos that are involved, and in your and Colt’s case having women throwing themselves at you all the time. But I know that Colt’s one hundred percent faithful.” She drew in a breath and then a mischievous smile spread across her face. “If he wasn’t, he knows that I’d chop off his balls.”

Anna and her ex-husband Kevin’s divorce was very public. The media wouldn’t leave them alone, especially when the world found out that Kevin had been cheating on Anna on just about every film set he’d been on since they’d met. “Yeah, the ex and public.”

“Kevin made it hard for me to trust again, and after what Decker put Alex through and then Matt, she’s got baggage. It’s hard for her to trust anyone with her heart. We’ve all got baggage, but what I am certain of is that she trusts you not to be them. It would hurt for you not to trust her.”

Did Alex think that I didn’t trust her? I needed to make sure she knew that I trusted her implicitly.

“I trust her. I trust her with my life. With my heart. With my soul.”

A smile lit up her face. “You love her.”

“More than anything.”

“I’m sorry about Ruby.” Her change of subject so abruptly caught me off guard. “Normally there’s not this much drama. It’s all drinking and lying on the beach soaking up the sun.”

“How were you to know?”

Anna shrugged, shaking her head. “I don’t know, but I don’t think either one of you will want to come next year.” She gave a bitter laugh looking over at the other girls. “You should go be with Alex. Enjoy this beautiful place and each other.”

“I will. We will. I left her so that she could talk to Mason and not feel rushed. She won’t say anything, but she misses him and worries about him when he’s with his father.”

“Go be with her and tell her that you love her. Don’t worry about us. I promise that Colt and I won’t hold it against you.”

“How much do I owe you?” Humor laced my words.

“Oh you!” She swatted her hands at me. “Don’t be silly. Just go be happy.”

I stood towering over her thankful for her therapy sessions with both Alex and me.

“Can you rub this on my back? I don’t want to get burned.” Alex held out her sunblock. My gaze had been transfixed as she rubbed the lotion on her legs, and across her chest. I was hard as I moved behind her, nudging my erection in her back.

Squeezing a glob out, I rubbed my hands together to warm the cool lotion before I placed them on her sun kissed skin. Slowly I massaged her back making sure every inch was coated. She hadn’t done her arms, so I leisurely started at her shoulder and worked my way down to the tips of her fingers. She moaned making me harder. We needed to get into the water before someone caught a photo of me dry humping her from behind.

Wrapping my arms around her, my voice was rough at her ear. “Hey, beautiful, how about we get into the water?”

Looking back at me over her shoulder, she smiled softly. It struck me then how much I’d missed her smile and having her in my arms in the month we’d been apart. I didn’t want to think about how hard it was going to be the next couple of months with my busy schedule.

“Let’s go, handsome. Even in December it’s hot here.”

With her arms wrapped around my neck and her legs around my hips, Alex leaned her head back into the water. Her hair fanned out all around her like a blonde halo making her look like an angel. Her smile was radiant as she looked up at me with love in her eyes.

Closing her eyes, she spoke quietly as she came up out of the water. “I love the water and the sound of the waves. This is perfect. The best of both worlds. No sharks, but still the smell, the gorgeous water out in front of us, the sounds, and best of all, you.”

Kissing her forehead, I murmured against it. “I’m glad you think so.”

Placing her head on my shoulder, she spoke against my neck. With each word her warm breath tickled my skin causing my cock to ache. I desperately wanted to take her again even though it had only been a couple of hours since I last had her, but there were too many people around.

“Thank you for coming here with me. For giving up going somewhere cold so I could have this.”

“It’s not a hardship, Alex.” I let out a small chuckle. “I know I said I like the cold, but it’s not as if I’m going to melt.”

She laughed, squeezing me tighter.

Turning, I kissed the top of her head as I ran a hand down her back until it cupped her ass cheek. We both groaned as I pushed her into my aching erection.

I would never figure out what her fucking ex’s problem was because when I touched Alex, she lit up like a firework and was so responsive. I thought it would take me weeks or maybe even months for her to open up to me sexually after what she told me she’d been through with Decker. Instead she instantly blossomed at my touch. How could he ridicule her for the things he asked her to do? How could he not give her the same pleasure he expected from her?
