My cheeks are redder than the cranberriesBuccaneer’s Distilleryputs in their gin by now.

“It’s Chloe’s fault. She stole moonshine shots from a mermaid.”

“And then she forced the liquor down your throat.”

“Yep. That’s exactly what happened.”

He chuckles. “I can’t believe I ever thought I needed to escape Smuggler’s Hideaway to find adventure.”

I roll my eyes. “Silly you. Smuggler’s Hideaway is the best. But don’t think you’re getting away with becoming a hermit on the island. I have places in the world I want to visit.”

Places I’ve waited to visit until I could go with him.

He nods to the fantasy section of my library. “You do realize those places don’t exist in the real world?”

“Really? Because they have maps and everything.”

He groans. “You’re going to force me to go on those trips where they recreate the book, aren’t you?”

Duh. I’ve always wanted to visit New Zealand. Visit New Zealand and tour where theLord of the Ringstrilogy was filmed? It’s a no brainer. It’s also happening.

“Don’t worry. You’ll have fun.”

He wraps his arms around me. “I’ll have fun because I’m with you. We could be in the remotest spot on the planet and I’d have fun with you.”

“Don’t get any ideas. I’m not going on some cruise in the Arctic Circle to observe polar bears.”

“You don’t want to observe polar bears?”

“If you want to observe wildlife, visit Sammy the seal.”

He chuckles and I enjoy the feel of his body moving against mine. This is where I belong. Not with my parents who don’t love me and do everything in their power to make me miserable. But with Caleb. In his arms. Forever.

“I love you, Caleb.”

“And I love you, Bunny.”

His gaze drops to my mouth and I bite my bottom lip. He moans before his lips meld to mine. I open on a sigh. He growls as he plunges his tongue into my mouth. I press closer to him and—

“Knock! Knock!” Sophia shouts as she pounds on the door.

Caleb wrenches his lips from mine with a snarl.

“Why is Sophia at the door?”

“Shit. I forgot.”

“Forgot what?”

“Your friends want to celebrate our relationship.”

“But I’ve never had make-up sex before,” I pout.

“You are not making this easy.”

“I’m not the one who planned a party at the most inconvenient time ever.”

“We better let them in before they barge inside.” Caleb retreats a step before adjusting his cock.
