“I don’t see how,” she replied cooly.

“Yes, you do.”

“You’re the man whose intent on being involved with four women,” Victoria said. “If you want to keep the wrinkles smoothed out, you’ll need to be good at time management.”

He glared at her, which allowed him to confirm it. Yes, she was amused by how he was rushing about. She hadn’t chastised him, not really. Her words rang true, anyway. He wanted them all. So, he’d need to ensure his time was evenly distributed.

That didn’t mean he had to admit Victoria was right, however.

“I’m still saying you’re partially at fault. You distracted me.”

“I am distracting,” Victoria said, unapologetic.

And then she dropped the towel around her body.

Mostly dressed, just needing to throw on a shirt, which he had in his hands, Liam gawked. How couldn’t he? When a woman as stunning as Victoria bared herself in front of him, everything else melted away.

Would she have done this if he’d been heading to dinner with Tess? Maybe. With Anna? Probably not. But Victoria and Avril had a more… unique relationship going on. They’d nearly become in-laws. Even though that was a decade in the past, they stayed close. Like sisters, almost.

But not like sisters,Liam thought, beginning to salivate about a possible future opportunity. He wondered if Victoria would allow it. He didn’t wonder about Avril. If given the chance, he knew she’d happily begin swirling her tongue over whichever of Victoria’s nipples he didn’t claim.

Liam instinctively began drifting towards Victoria. It was what she clearly wanted. A little more attention before he went off to dinner. She’d gone so long without it, and now—

A finger went up, stopping him in his tracks. Victoria smiled softly, speaking such cruel words afterward.

“Time management, Liam. Stay focused.”

He glared at her. “That’s evil.”

“A necessary one,” Victoria said. “I’ll be here when you return. Waiting.”

She imbued that final word with a sultry note, and Liam swallowed. Anticipation nearly ripped him apart, but he just barely reined in his lust. Breathing in, then exhaling, he moved in and kissed Victoria. She allowed that.

“You better be,” he said, then was off.

But he had one more delay ahead of him, as he was soon to discover. Avril was going to be pissed.

Leaving behind one gorgeous professor, Liam soon came across the other one. Leaning on the railing surrounding her deck, Tess smiled and waved him over as he trotted by. He could see the resort from where he was, and he imagined Avril sitting inside, tapping her fingers impatiently while waiting for her easily distracted date to arrive.

Making a promise to make it up to her, Liam deviated toward the beautiful brunette calling for him.

Her smile was as radiant as ever, and she also appeared to have showered. At the same time as he’d been getting the best titfuck of his life from her colleague.Anotherhopeful opportunity involving two gorgeous women made his heart race. Before the day was up, he’d probably have envisioned every combination possible.

“Hi, Tess. I don’t know if it’ll be safe for me to stay and chat too long.”

Tess chuckled. “Avril’s only just headed off, so you’re only a minute or two behind. I was surprised when she didn’t throw on her nice dress, but I see you’re also in the know about her change of plans.”

Liam nodded, having thrown his shirt on while jogging on the sand. “She’s decreed that ournicedinner will be on the trip's final day. She said it was only fair for her to have the last one.”

“I suppose it is, especially after how she helped us out yesterday,” Tess said, glancing amusedly toward the resort.

Liam nodded again.

“You’re probably wondering why I flagged you down,” Tess said.

“Sure am,” he admitted.

“Well, it’s to play a role that I know Avril has played many times,” Tess explained. “After you two finish your dinner, this bure will be waiting for you both. That’s Avril’s intention, obviously.”
