His warm breath fans over my ear as he speaks and a shiver runs down my spine. My heart beats faster as his fingers skim my bare back while he takes the strings from my grasp.

“What does a girl have to do to get some alone time in the sun?” I sigh.

Pyro rumbles with laughter, whispering in my ear. “Can’t blame us, you look good enough to eat.”

The suit coughs as my cheeks redden. “My brother and I came to assure you that the couple with no manners has been asked to leave the hotel. We apologize for their behavior and hope that the rest of your stay at the 4 Horses is enjoyable.”

Pyro steps back in place beside his brother. “If there is anything you need, as I said before, I am Pyro, and this is my brother, Warrick. I run the pool area, and he oversees the hotel.”

My throat is dry, so all I can do is nod. Heat bubbles deep inside of me, threatening to surface. These two brothers are testing the limits of my self-control with a conversation.

“Enjoy your stay at the 4 Horses,” Warrick concludes, giving me a nod and one last look at his gorgeous eyes.

Pyro doesn’t say anything as he follows his brother.

I think it is time for a drink, so I gather up my belongings and stow them in my purse. The summer dress is pulled on over my suit and I make my way to the bar, which I am grateful is in the opposite direction than where the brothers headed.

It’s definitely been an interesting start to my vacation, but if I get to stare at those two, then it makes the run in with the rude couple worth it.

I lick my lips as I stare after them.

What I need is a plan and a whole lot of luck.

She caught my eye the moment she stepped into the pool area. I should be working, but I can’t pull my gaze from her. Every movement is full of a magnetism that makes sure I am focused only on her.

The focus of my lust is a beautiful blonde with blue streaks, wearing a simple black dress that made it seem like her legs went on for days.

I watch as she scans the area until she finds the chair most of the guests hate—full sun and no shade in sight.

She makes a beeline for the chair and tugs off the cover-up. What she hides underneath takes my breath away. I’ve never wanted anyone more in my life.

Fuck, she has me in a chokehold.

With a smile on her face, she sits to relax when some spoiled rich bitch starts to complain loudly that her chair was taken. I think to step in, but I hold off and decide to wait it out and see what the beauty has up her sleeve. Not my most professional move but neither was gapingat a guest.

The gentleman walks away from the scene leaving the two women. No doubt he’s heading to find me.

Lucky for me, my brother Warrick is walking by and the gentleman catches his attention. My eyes wander back to the women. The one standing is still talking angrily and she steps closer to the pool.

I watch as the beauty waves her hand and a gust of wind knocks the other into the pool.

Is that a coincidence?

Stifling a laugh, I get back to work, stocking the bar. The hotel is at full capacity since summer is our busiest time of year. I was grateful that when we divided the sections of the business that I took the pool and grounds.

Being stuck inside in a suit is not my style.

Once the bar is stocked, I ensure the staff have smiles on their faces and I move on to the towel hut. With one more glance at the woman that calls me, I disappear into the little building.

With the sunbathing woman on my mind, humming a love song, I count towels.

Thank fuck I’m working alone. The one drawback to swim shorts as my office clothes is they do nothing to control the bulge not so hidden underneath.

In all my years I’ve spent working around barely clothed women, I haveneverhad a reaction like this to someone.

Sure, my brothers and I had our fair share of fun, but this is the first time I had to cage myself from running to her and taking her right there on the lounger.

I would never live it down, nor would my brothers let me.
