Chapter Fifty
"I had my moments. And for your information, I wasn’t trying to be “mean” or anything like that. To be honest, I just wanted you to come with me.... Because I wanted us to spend some time together.
Her shoulders grew a little stiffer and she turned to look at him. Her steady gaze suggested that she wasn’t convinced.
Savannah decided not to dwell on that statement he had just made.
"So this island—" she began. The thought of this brief adventure cheered her up slightly, so she would just focus on enjoying it. "Where is it? And why did you decide to come there of all places?"
"It’s a tropical island off the coast of South America. And the reason I decided that we should go there is because it's peaceful, and we’ll be the only two people on the island."
"Just us?" Her voice was a horrified squeak. "You expect me

Thank goodness, she thought.At least they could give each other some space now. How come he always knew what to say and she never did? How come he never seemed to feel awkward?He unbuckled his seat belt and leaned across to do hers. "Let’s move." he said. "The helicopter is waiting."The first thing that hit her when she stepped out onto the island was the intense heat and the colours. Deep green palm trees shaded milky white sand, and a parrot added a flash of exotic red as it took refuge in the trees clustered in the centre of the island. The hot sun was a ball of orange and the sea was a magic carpet of glittering jewelled blue."It's so beautiful" she said. Matt nodded and took her arm and drew her away from the helicopter. "Here we are. Home sweet home...well, not really home home, but you get it. Otherwise known as Paradise Villa. All the bedrooms open onto the terrace and o

He glanced up from his phone. "You don't wanna swim?" he asked her.She nodded. "Yeah. I don’t want to.""Why not? Swimming is the only way to stay cool. You said you were hot"Savannah slid off her sandals. "Actually, I’m not that hot." she lied.A sardonic smile touched the corners of his mouth. "You look hot to me." he said. Leaving that ambiguous comment floating in the air, he leaned across and passed her a glass of chilled lemonade. "What was wrong with the selection of bikinis Rosa bought you?""Nothing was wrong with them.""Then why aren’t you wearing one of them?" he askedAbandoning subtlety in favour of honesty, Savannah glared at him. "Because there is no way I’m wearing a bikini in front of you!" she said.He frowned. "Why not?"

Drawing up her shoulders, she turned around again and stared coolly at him. “If you think because we were once lovers that you can take up where we left off, you’re sadly mistaken.”He blinked in surprise and then anger replaced the surprise. “God, Savvie. Do you think so little of me that I would try to force you into a sexual relationship?” he asked. "What exactly do you take me for?"“You don’t want to know the answer to that.” She replied. "What do you expect me to think? You are the one who has been.... I don't know... Flirting"He swore long and hard. He knew she was right though. He had been flirting, because he still wanted her, but he never planned on making her do anything she didn't want to. But her statements annoyed him so much. “What makes you think I would ever want to sample my brother’s secondhand goods anyway?” he said without thinking.She balled her hands into fists and forced a carel

Now he had brought Savannah to the island and now they’d all be forced to face the inevitable confrontation. A part of him dreaded it, but the other part of him knew he’d never be able to move forward unless this was fully resolved. But it would be done when he decided and not before. He and Savannah had too much to work out between them before they tackled the issue of Enzo and her infidelity.“This isn’t a good time, man,” he said in a low voice when he reached his brother.Unease flickered across Enzo's face, and he glanced nervously over Matt's shoulder toward Savannah. “I can see that.” he said. "I didn't know you would be here honestly."Matt turned and saw Savannah tremble and then her fingers flexed and curled into fists. She was as pale as death, her eyes large and haunted. “It's okay” he prompted when Enzo made no move to leave. "The island is bi

Matt closed his eyes, pinching the bridge of his nose between two fingers.There was no easy way to say this and his mom would know soon enough now that Savannah was with him. Best she know now so she could get used to it.“Mom, you should know… I'm at the island already.... And I'm not alone... Savannah is with me.” he said.There was a sharp intake of breath on the other end followed by thick silence. “I see,” she finally said.“I guess inviting Leila is out of the question then.” She said.Matt blew out his breath at his mother’s snippy tone. Leila Donavan was a woman his mom had been shoving at him ever since Savannah had disappeared.Though his mother had never come out and said I told you so, she didn’t have to. It was there as plain as if she’d hung a banner.She&rsqu
SILENT DESIRES Chapter Fifty Six
Stefan was silent for a moment. “Look man, I’m sorry. I get that this has you tied in knots. Personally, I think you ought to go out, have a few drinks and get laid. Come off that self-imposed celibacy stint you’ve been on since you threw her out. I know you so I won’t go there.”Matt laughed and shook his head.“Dash wants to talk to you a minute so hang on. Both of you have women in your lives now and I don't understand you guys anymore. Dash has been God knows where for how long now.”“See ya,” Matt muttered to empty air.A second later, Dash came on the phone.“I won’t repeat all Stefan has said other than to ditto everything. What I wanted to tell you is that I won't be around for a while either.”“Oh? Eloping with Tess?” Matt asked playfully.Dash muttered a

“Let me take care of you, Savvie. Let’s forget for the time being all the problems in the past and just concentrate on the present.” Matt said.“You can’t be serious.” She replied.“I’m very serious. I’ve never been more serious in my life. We have a lot to work out. We can’t do that if we aren’t willing to spend the time together and talk.”She’d never wanted to break down and cry more in her entire life. If only he’d been willing to listen before. If only he’d been willing to talk, to understand then. The one person she should have been able to count on above all others had coldly looked through her and called her a liar. And now he wanted to kiss and make up?He touched her face with his fingers, and she was surprised that they trembled against her skin. His eyes were imploring her and she wavered

His eyes took her in for a few seconds before he said. "Good morning""Good morning" Savannah replied.“I'm sorry I won't be able to have breakfast with you. I have to run out to go see that investor for a few hours.” he paused then added. "Would you like to come with me?"Savannah shook her head. "Aren't you kind of in a hurry?" she asked."Yes" he said, "Will you be all right alone?"She nodded, relieved that she wouldn’t immediately have to face him. She needed time to regain her composure. Time to mentally reconstruct her defenses.“Yes, of course. When will you be back?” she asked.He checked his watch. “It’s almost eight now. I shouldn’t be later than noon. We can go to the mainland together and have lunch in a restaurant there and then maybe go for a walk later if you like.”There wasn’t much she could say
