Page 95 of Faking it For Summer

“Yeah, it is quite pleasing.” He smiles a wide smile and runs his fingers through his blond hair. His eyes are twinkling. “Very comfortable and relaxing.”

“The bed’s that good, huh?”

“Yeah, something like that.”

He offers me a wink, and I nod knowingly. These women have gotten their hooks into all of us.

“Well, I’m out of here. Got to go and meet Mia. Enjoy the afternoon. It’s a beautiful day.”

I head out of Cocktails & Chaos and down to the beach. I see Mia standing at the shoreline, the waves lapping at her feet. Her bikini is small and tight, and I try not to stare at her beautiful ass encased in the thong bottom, but I’m finding it hard not to. She looks up and sees me and waves, her bangles shaking from side to side as she offers me a small smile. Her long hair is wavy as it hangs down her back, still wet from the water.

“Finally finished with work?” she asks, offering me a wry smile.

“Yeah, for now. Are you still mad at me?”

“Could I stay mad at you for long, Luke?”

“I guess not. Look at my handsome face,” I tease as I look at her feet and notice that she’s painted her toenails an aqua-blue color. “When did you do that?” I ask. “I didn’t notice before.”

“Yeah, I did them earlier today when we had some downtime. Juniper did a hot pink.”

“It looks nice.”

“Thank you.”

“Your bikini also looks very nice.”

“Oh, yeah? I was wondering if you were going to say something.”

“Showing a lot of skin, I see.”

“I don’t want to have tan lines.”

“Then shouldn’t you go to a nude beach?”

“Is that an offer, Luke?”

She winks at me, and I shake my head.

“You wouldn’t dare go to a nude beach with me.”

“You think?” She grins and presses her finger against my lips. “You think you know me so well, Luke Haverbrook, but you don’t know me at all. I would one hundred percent go to a nude beach.”

“Then it’s a pity that we don’t have any nudes on the island, isn’t it?”

“We could always go up to Hidden Cove,” she says, and her expression changes. “Or we just wait until nighttime, and we go skinny-dipping in the ocean, like you and Talia did.”

“It wasn’t just me and Talia,” I say. “It was me, Talia, and some other people, and it’s not like anything happened.”

“So, you did, or you didn’t see her naked?”

“I might have seen her naked.”

“And she did or didn’t see you naked?”

“Well, I was nude. She obviously?—”

“Exactly. So, you guys went skinny-dipping together.”
