 The afternoon sun hung heavy over the resort as the group gathered near the private beach lounge area. Marcus Hale had inserted himself seamlessly into their vacation, claiming he needed Alexander’s signature on some urgent documents. What should have been a quick meeting had stretched into hours, and now Marcus lounged in a shaded cabana like he owned the place, sipping a glass of aged whiskey while his sharp gray eyes scanned everything around him. Mia could feel those eyes on her constantly. She was lying on a lounger in her emerald bikini, pretending to read a book, but her attention was locked on the two men sitting a few feet away. Alexander looked tense, his broad shoulders rigid as he reviewed papers Marcus had brought with him. Every few seconds, Marcus’s gaze would drift from the documents to Mia — lingering on the curve of her waist, the swell of her breasts, the way her skin glistened with sunscree

Lily went for a spa treatment with some new friends she’d met at the party, while Alexander was locked in a meeting with Marcus in the villa’s private study.

Smiling, she reached over and unlocked the screen.
