I’ve never seen Echo look ht now, she’s beautiful

“Wow, you look great” I’ve complimented her appearance a hundred times and meant it…except when I tried to be nice because she was sick and looked like hell This is the first ti Does she know I mean it more than I should?

“You clean up nice, too Xavian just texted He’ll be a few et into his room”

More likely he hung around the lobby with Miss Hawaiian Ta-tas Does Echo suspect that? Would it upset her?

We head down to the restaurant, and the eous views of the property and the beach Five lasses and order appetizers, then look up to see Xavian rushing to the table in his collared shirt and khaki shorts

Moments later, the waiter delivers appetizers X scans theolderhim some mahi-mahi and a mule

A glance tells hts, too

Fuck, maybe it was a mistake to think I could sleep in the sa tellsnext to hers as I believed

Finally, she finishes the last bite of her dessert with another wrenching moan, eyes closed as she licks her spoon like a lover
