Suddenly the girl gasped and her hands went behind her to cover her ass.

“I just know if it was me, I’d want someone to tell me.We girls have to stick together,” Maddie said.

The girl nodded.“Ireallyappreciate it.Oh, wow, how embarrassing.”She glanced over at Josh.“Do you think he saw?”

Maddie looked sorry.“Yeah.He was definitely checking you out.”

The girl groaned.“Oh, God.Well, now I just need to get out of here.”

“If you go that way, the dock wraps around and will take you right up to the sidewalk that will take you back to the bus.”

“Thank you.”The girl looked genuinely embarrassed but grateful.

“Like I said, I’d want someone to tell me.”

The girl started in the direction Maddie had pointed, but strangely moved around Owen keeping her front facing him.Once she was around the edge of the building, she took off running and Owen turned back to Maddie.

“What was that?”he asked, advancing on her.

Josh had already gone into the office.

“I was getting her away from Josh.Did you see her?”Maddie asked.

“I did.”

Maddie narrowed her eyes.

“Not like that.I saw her leaning in and Josh looking super uncomfortable.”

Maddie nodded.“So I fixed it.”

“I thought you were going to shove her in the bayou.”

“I considered it.”

Owen grinned.“What did you do instead?”

“Told her that her butt had a huge brown streak across it.Said she probably sat in something on the boat but that it looked pretty bad.”

“Wow.Nice.”

“She’s the type who loves to have guys checking out her ass.I knew that would do it.”

“What about when she gets back to her hotel and realizes you lied?”

“What’s she going to do?Come down here and yell at me for breaking up her chance to get laid?”

“Well…”

“Why doesn’t Josh just tell them that he’s got a girlfriend, anyway?”Maddie asked, clearly irritated.“Why can’t you guys turn these girls down?”

“It’s just a part of the job,” he said, lifting a shoulder.“It can be fun for us, too, you know.”

She narrowed her eyes further.“Got it.”

“I just think…it’s kind of part of our reputation, if you want to really know.Hot guys who are a ton of fun to flirt with…and more,” he said, quoting a review he’d read recently.“It’s on a few of the travel review sites.”

“Travel review sites?”
