He rose from his lounger and stepped over to the fence as the other man scooped up the young girl and carried her inside.
“Wow, I can’t believe you’re here, on this planet, at the same time as me.” He smiled like we were old friends.
I pointed my thumb over my shoulder, finally gaining control over my body. “Yeah, I was out for a jog, and I thought I recognized you, but I slowed to be sure.”
“Yeah, it’s me.” He quickly waved his hand, making the interaction feel awkward. “Have you had any luck finding a fuck buddy for your stay?”
I choked on the little spit in my mouth. No, that made things even worse. I thumped on my chest in an attempt to stop coughing.
A glass of water appeared in front of me. I took a drink, thankful for the relief.
“So, have you?” Vawn held his hand out for the glass.
I gave it back to him, unsure why he’d want to know. “I arrived here earlier today. Honestly, right before my jog.”
“Ah, I see.” He set the glass on a table before returning to the fence. “We just arrived this morning, too.”
We.Did that mean this was his family now? Though, why would any family travel to Rennir for a vacation? There was some piece of information I was missing.
“Then, would you like to have some fun with me tonight? You know, since we’re already familiar with each other?” Might as well take my shot, since I couldn’t get him out of my head anyway.
“Can’t.” His response was quick and simple yet still felt like a jab to the gut.
“Okay, I get it.” I backed away, ready to turn around and return to the hotel.
“No, that’s not what I meant.” He pushed the gate open and grabbed my arm. “I can’ttonight. My friend is going out, and I have to stay here—”
“Ah, the girl. I get it.” Turns out he was not only fantastic in bed but also a great friend, taking care of the other guy’s daughter so he could spend a night getting dicked down.
“But if you really want to have some fun with me again, we can get together tomorrow night. I had a good time when we hooked up on Eurebly.”
“Oh. I didn’t think so with how quickly you left after and didn’t leave me your information.” Shit, why was I spewing my insecurities all of a sudden? I had the date. I should accept it and go.
Vawn dug his toes into the sand. “Um, yeah, I had an emergency at home and had to leave right away. I really wasn’t thinking clearly.”
I didn’t know if he was making an excuse or telling the truth. His brothers wouldn’t have told me either way. “Okay, let’s meet up tomorrow. Can I get your info this time so we can figure out where to meet, then?”
“Sure.” He dashed into the yard to fetch his communicator.
After he handed it to me, I entered my info then scanned my wrist over it to upload his code. “Okay, I’ll give you a call tomorrow to set something up. Enjoy the rest of your day.” With the awkwardness still hanging around, I was ready to leave. I hoped we could get past that when we met up tomorrow, and, instead, have another round of mind-blowing sex.
He waved with a cute smile as I headed back down the beach. Stars, he really was sexy as sin. I couldn’t wait to get my hands on him again, fuck him, and then hold him in my arms.No!No holding. Just sex. And, this time, without his brothers around to get in the way.
Chapter Seven
Vawn
“Vawn.”
I opened my eyes to the sound of sobbing. It took me a few moments to remember where I was and figure out who was calling me. I shuffled out of bed and through the beach house, trying to locate my best friend.
He was slumped against the front door, his clothes askew and tears streaming down his face.
“Stars, what happened?” I rushed over to Utahn and wiped his cheeks. “Why are you crying? Did someone hurt you?” Coming here had been a bad idea. I never should have let him go out. Not alone.
He sobbed as he sucked in a breath. “Why can’t I get fucked without any feelings? Why do I still want a m-mate when all guys do is hurt me?”
I sat on the floor beside him, wrapped my arm around him, and pulled him into my side. “I get it. Feelings suck.”
