"How many women have you brought here like this? To your island?"

"One." Is that jealousy I hear in her voice?

"One other than me. Is that how you know so much about swimming naked at night?"

I can't fight the smile that does take over now. It is definitely jealousy. "No, just one -you." I move around the chairs and closer to her. "I've never been in a relationship before and I couldn't tell you the last time I had sex."

Her chin comes up and she shoots me a haughty look, "Guys say they can never remember the last time all the time. For all I know it could've been last Friday and you just happen to have a bad memory."

I reach for her and have her in my arms in seconds. "There hasn't been anyone in at least six or seven years except my own hand and even it doesn't see a lot of action anymore. There never will be another for me now that there's you." She tries to pull away from me but I don't let her. "I was lost the moment I saw you. I understand why you need to be cautious and I'm fuck all glad that you are but I don't lie and I never will to you."

I finally let her go making sure she's steady on her feet before I do. She stares at me for a long time, searching my eyes for some sign that I might not be telling her the truth. I give her all the time she needs. Hell, I would stand here for eternity if she wanted me to.

"So," she finally breaks our eye contact by looking down at the cushion she's picking at, "are you going to show me around?"

Hell yes I will. I will show her so much, things she doesn't even know she's asking me to show her. I let her see my smile of victory before I make a grab for her hand and entwine our fingers. "I would love to show you everything."
