Yep, it sure is.
“Mila!”
“Oh shit!” There was no holding in my laughter, I laughed so hard my stomach was instantly cramping.
“Mila!”
“Dude! Don’t move!” I hysterically laughed. “You’re only egging it on!”
“Mila! I’m getting fish fucked!”
“I know, and it’s fucking hilarious! But technically, it’s a mammal!”
“Mila! Fuck the biology lesson! Come over here and help me!”
“Okay! Okay!” I splashed water at them. “Shoo! Shoo! He won’t come off, he really likes you!”
“Stop fucking splashing me and go get the flare gun!”
“The flare gun?”
“Yes! Aim toward the air and fire!”
“Isn’t that only used for distress?”
“What the fuck do you think is happening to me right now! Do I not look distressed enough for you? What part of me isn’t distressed while this dolphin is humping my leg?”
“I hope you don’t get pregnant!”
“Mila!”
“Okay, okay! I’m going. I’m going. Where is it?”
“Under the steering wheel in the cabinet box.”
By the time I got back to the boat, the dolphins suddenly swam off.
“Oh look! He let you go!”
Cain quickly made his way toward the boat. I’d never seen anyone swim so fast before. Once he was pulling himself back onto the platform, I started laughing again.
“Oh, it’s so fucking funny, I just got molested by a dolphin.”
I shrugged, chuckling, “It could have been worse. They could have wanted a threesome.”
Chapter 31
—Mila—
I wrapped my sarong around my waist and Cain grabbed my hand to step off his catamaran. We were back at the marina. We left shortly after his attack. At least that was what he was calling it. I thought it was more like love at first sight.
“Are you still traumatized?”
“What do you think?”
“I think we’re going to go back to my place and I’m going to make you some delicious dinner.”
“Hey, at least you offer me dinner before taking advantage of me.”
I hid back a giggle. “Of course, let me wine and dine you.”
While Cain showered, I cooked the grouper we caught from trolling a line in the back of his boat.
We ate in somewhat silence, listening to soft jazz music. After dinner was done, I excused myself to go take a shower.
Tonight’s the night.
Those three words wouldn’t let up. I thought about them the entire time I was washing my hair.
Was tonight the night? Could I go through with this when I couldn’t even handle his kisses?
She misses me so much she’s never tried to reach out to me the entire time she’s been gone?
Of course I didn’t! I wanted you to fight for me! Why are men so stupid?
Mila was right. We shouldn’t have had sex.
Was I right? Why did making love with him feel so fucking right then?
“Ugh!” I huffed my frustration.
It felt like we were making love to me too. It was the first time I’d ever felt that connection to someone. Usually, it was just sex. Sometimes it was good, sometimes it wasn’t.
With Leo…
It felt so fucking amazing.
He was the best sex of my life.
“Enough, Mila!” I said to my reflection in the bathroom mirror. “Enough thinking about Leo. You’re with Cain. He likes you. You just have to get over Leo and the only way you can do that is to get under someone else.”
I liked Cain. I could sleep with him.
I mean, why not?
I could totally do this. Peeking my head out the door, Cain was standing on the balcony and I rushed toward my dresser. Quickly, I pulled out that little baby blue panty and bra set he was requesting. I decided it was time. If I was going to get over this speed bump that was my former best friend, then I needed to sleep with someone else. It didn’t matter if it was Cain or a random stranger. I needed to be under a new man, so I’d forget about the last one.
Leo.
After slipping it on, I walked out onto the balcony that Cain was still on. He was looking up at the moon, nodding toward it.
“It’s a full moon tonight.”
“It’s beautiful.”
He turned to me, instantly caught off guard with what I was wearing.
“You like?”
“Wow. You’re beautiful, Mi.” Grabbing onto my hand, he pulled my body into his chest.
We danced for a little while. Time just seemed to fly by. At that moment, all of it seemed perfect. Believe it or not, Cain turned out to be everything I ever wanted, and no one could have been more shocked than me. My mind should have been right there with him, but it wouldn’t stop thinking about the conversation I read earlier between him and Leo.
Do whatever you want. I don’t control her life.
You’re right. You don’t control my life and I’m going to prove it to you.
I shut my eyes and allowed the music to take over. Slipping out of Cain’s embrace, I slowly spun around until my back was to his front. Swaying my hips side to side, I slid my hands slowly up my waist to my head, running my fingers seductively through my hair as I lifted it up off my neck.
