She tilted her head at me before she delivered sternly "If you want to leave then we will go. No questions asked. We will make up an excuse and ditch the two of them and get out of here."

I shook my head and mustered up a smile as I asked her "Do you know what would make me feel better?"

"Ice Cream?" She suggested while matching my smile.

"Well, yes." I laughed in agreement before I gave her the real reason "I want to see you have a good time with Brennan on your date."

One more reassuring smile her way and she put an arm around my shoulder while we made our way past the people sunbathing and swimming.

We stopped when we found the two men we were supposed to be meeting.

Lana stopped to admire Brennan.

Brennan was wearing royal blue shorts which stood out against his dark skin. His large chest and his six-pack were on display as he held his surfboard under his muscular arm.

"How does his six pack look wet?" Lana whispered to me with a reddened face "He has not been in the water yet."

My attention was captured by Stone and the heartbeat I had just gotten in control spiralled again.

Stone's bare chest was a sight to behold. He was ripped and every inch of his chest was covered in dark inked lines.

I found myself wanting to run my finger along the markings and wanting to know what they all meant.

I was finding it hard to look away as I let my gaze drop lower.

Everything about this man was huge. Every inch of him was oversized. It was like he had been engineered to be the best of the human species.

He did not look real. His body did not look real.

My study continued to his stomach. I tried counting his abs, but I kept losing my train of thought. It took me two minutes to realise that he had an eight-pack.

His weight in muscle mass had to be more than double my body weight. Maybe even three times.

Unlike Brennan's body inviting someone to look, Stone's was more of a warning to look away.

I forcefully made myself look away from Stone but that was short-lived.

A pair of eyes were on me. A dark pair of eyes roaming up and down every inch of me.

If my body was not warm before then it was certainly heated now. The black orbs left no inch of skin untouched by their gaze.

Stone clenched his jaw and his head quickly turned to the side as he grumbled out "Fucking hell."

I felt my face grow hot, so I looked down at the sand.

The black eyes rested on the ocean as his jaw ticked violently. The darkened irises turned back to me and then looked away and then they went back to me. The moment was rapid like he could not control himself.
