"Can I ask you a question?"
His voice is low and raspy.
"What is it?"
"Does Daniel give you goosebumps like this when he touches you?"
I cross my arms over my chest to pull them from his view, but it's too late, he's already seen them.
And asking a question like that isn't fair. It's normal for those butterflies and goosebumps to disappear after eight years, right? You can't expect those for a lifetime.
Seven takes a step even closer, his chest brushing against my back.
"Do you get as wet for him as you do for me?"
I shake my head. "No," I whisper.
His hands slide over my hips as the bulge in his boardshorts presses up against my ass when he steps closer.
I can't remember ever being as turned on as I am whenever I'm with Seven. He's unlike anyone I've ever been with before, and he and Daniel couldn't be any more different.
"I already know he doesn't make you come. But I do… don't I, Brynn?" He asks against the shell of my ear and then lays a kiss against my neck.
My head falls back against his shoulder as he continues a line of soft kisses down my throat, each one better than the last.
"Why are you saying all of this?" I ask.
"Because I changed my mind."
"About what?"
"When Rita locked us out of her house the first time and we sat around the firepit alone, you told me that your agent sent you here to finish your book and to find someone to have a fling with. I told you I wasn't interested in being that man."
"And now?"
"Now, I want your last days here. Do you want that, too?"
I spin around in his arms to face him.
"Yes, I do!" I say quickly.
I didn't intend to seem too eager, but it can't be helped. I'm not ready for whatever this is between us to be over. Soon enough I'll have to face reality and head back to Seattle. I can only hope that by the time I board the aircraft in a few days, I'll feel more ready for it.
Right now, I just want to live in this alternative universe, with all these incredible people in this gorgeous place, and forget I have a life waiting for me back in Seattle.
Seven dips down and scoops his arms under my ass, lifting me up and then turning with me in his arms, heading down the hall.
"Oh my God, Seven," I gasped, unprepared for him to pick me up and take off with me. "Where are we going?"
"I'm taking you to my room to see if we can break our personal best record. What was it again? Five?"
Chapter Twenty-Three
Brynn
I wake to the feeling of a warm hand sliding off my belly and the feeling of the bed moving as Seven flips over onto his back.
My eyes flicker open to find that I'm still in Seven's bed. The alarm clock on the side table next to me says it's just before six am and the sun is just barely up for the morning.
