“Yeah.” She sighs, taking one last look around. “I never thought I would say this, but if you wake me up for views like this, you can wake me up early anytime.”

“I’ll keep that in mind.” I chuckle as I turn the board and start making our way to shore.

We gather up our things and make our way back to the car. As I tie the board back onto the top of the jeep, Aurora looks around with a small smile on her face. I can’t help but pull out my phone and take a quick picture of her before sliding it back into my pocket.

“What are you smiling about?”

“This place is a whole vibe.” She shakes her head. “It’s so fucking different than where I’m from.”

“Just wait until we go to Puerto Rico,” I say as I jump down. “You would think it would be similar, but it’s really not.”

“I can’t wait,” she says as we get into the jeep.

“Do you want to stop anywhere before we go back to the house?”

“I could go for some more coffee from that shop, and they had a pastry counter that looked to die for.” She blushes.

Reaching over, I run my thumb over the apple of her cheek. “Your wish is my command, my lady.”

“We should probably grab some for the guys too. We have a lot to do today.”

“If you insist.” I sigh dramatically.

“Liam,” she scolds, slapping my chest.

I grab her hand and bring it to my lips, kissing it before placing it in my lap. Driving five minutes down the road, I pull into the coffee shop for the second time today.

The barista looks at us like she’s seen us before as we come through the door and shakes her head. Between Aurora and I, we get four coffees, one tea, and two dozen pastries and head back to the house.

We walk back into the house to see that Ezra is already awake.

“How was your morning?” Ezra asks as he sets down the paper he is reading.

“That sunrise was totally worth getting out of bed for,” Aurora says as she hands him his drink.

“What’s this?” He looks at the cup warily as he takes it.

“We grabbed you some tea and the rest of us coffee.”

I bite back a smile as Ezra’s eyes flare in pleasure.

She fucking owns him.

“I’m going to wake up Drake.”

Walking over to Aurora, I kiss the side of her head before heading toward our room.

“Would you like to eat outside?” I hear Ezra ask as I step into the room.

“Morning,” Drake rasps, rubbing his eyes, already awake.

“Morning.” I sit on the edge of the bed and lean forward, kissing him. “How did you sleep?”

“Fucking hard.” He raises a brow. “I take it from waking up alone that you took Beauty to see the sunrise on the beach.”

“You know it.”

He squeezes my hand. “Did you stay up all night, or did you get some sleep?”
