11. One Drink To Many

They arrived at the grocery store to shop. “I notice you like a lot of sweets.”“Uh.....yes! Just sometimes.” Shyly smiling.Denver knew the young lady; he no doubt thought he acted so childlike to be a grown man. But that was okay, in his opinion; what she didn't know wouldn't hurt. All he knew was that he was going to enjoy himself. As they approached the cashier, he took out his wallet to pay for the groceries.“You don't have to buy groceries.”Placing her hand on his wallet as she stood there looking at him as if he had some screws loose in his head. Denver could tell she didn't understand why he was keeping his distance.“I want to contribute my share to this arrangement.”“Okay, I guess it’s your honeymoon too.”Whenever she mentions the word honeymoon, it was weird since he only knew her as a friend, but it was true, she was a bit more than that, now she was an intimate stranger. He wanted to remain friends. Since they were going to live together for six months and then split

12. Time to Get Things cooking

At 10 am, the clock showed when Denver opened his sleepy eyes, feeling a little chilly as he lay there in bed with just a white sheet over his bare chest. “What? Where did the blanket go that was on this bed?” He had forgotten that he had a guest. His senses, still dull from just waking up, had not fully returned to him as he slid out of the side of the bed to head to the bathroom.Denver told himself to snap out of it. Your 53 seconds of thinking about sex are over, even if she was barely clothed last night. What could I do about that? I don't even know her like that. Not At all!'He goes back to the bathroom and freshens up, brushing his teeth, washing his face, and then combing his hair. Quietly, he came out and went to the kitchen. There were still some breakfast items in the refrigerator. So he got to work preparing breakfast.Denver made omelets, toast, and a hot pot of tea, making sure the food was properly seasoned. India began to stir to the smell of food that captured her no

13. Sparks & Flames

While getting undressed, Denver kept telling himself. “The word power means to be strong. Willpower, on the other hand, means to be determined, to control your inner desires and cravings. And I have willpower; I know I do. We are just going to have fun.”Meanwhile, India found her bathing suit, a one-piece she had purposely packed. She'd vowed to herself that she would start making smart decisions, and she thought it was wise not to wear anything too flirtatious. She had made a point of becoming an ice sculpture on this fake honeymoon. She had to adopt a new outlook, since she’s in a six-month contract marriage. “It will only take a little willpower not to give in to my attraction.” She would be lying if she stated that Denver Kincaid wasn’t attractive. All of Marcus’s friends looked like they stepped out of a men’s fashion magazine.But it was something about being around Denver Kincaid. That bright smile was centered around dark features, and high cheekbones, and his dark brown eyes

14. Opening Her Heart, to His

India had to admit, it wasn't that Denver made it terribly uncomfortable for her. She realized that the kiss, with that glass of wine, made it feel like more than just being friends was happening between them. But she kept in mind that drinking always made her relax, but she wondered if she was letting her guard down too fast. She didn’t feel down and depressed, or low in spirits, anymore. So, she didn’t want to think too deeply about it all and ruin the mood.She got dressed, fixed her hair, and put on a little makeup. His response to her when she entered the hot tub made her feel good. And she wanted to keep that feeling going, so she made herself look pretty for their excursion on the beach.' Here they are walking out on the beach. She just looked at him as if her pulse was doing a little tap dance. He stared at her back with one brow raised.India began to give a small smile; dreamy eyes fixed on his unruly hair moving in the breeze. The strands that were blowing about wildl

15. Being Close To You

Her voice startled Denver, “I asked you a question. Why aren’t you responding to me?” He was so enraptured by the soft movement of her body in that white thigh-length, sleeveless dress. His deep thoughts about her possibly being the girl for him made Denver look at her differently. His eyes focused on her as he listened to India speak.“I’m sorry, what did you say?” “This place is perfect for a honeymoon. The night air is so pure, unadulterated bliss.” India said as she took another swig of the wine, and sank into the sand sitting in front of him, folding her legs, as his eyes followed her intoxicated ones.“How did I know to come to this great place? How did I know to come to Oceanblue cottage?"She asked with a wide smile. "It all seems strange how I got here.” India said, sighing dreamily as she looked at him, “Don't you think this place has the most amazing view?”Denver just listened, smiling, thinking she is amazing. He let her voice tickle his ears with pleasure as India wen

16. I'm Sprung Over You

Denver had risen early, thinking about the way she kissed him. His thoughts seemed clearer than ever before. “I’m a married man. This isn’t a joke. Maybe it's temporary, but at this moment, I’m someone’s husband in real life. And that someone is India.” As their honeymoon days came and went, Denver slowly began to face reality, but had India accepted the reality?” He wasn’t going to pressure her too. After last night, he could see she’s still dealing with a broken heart over Marcus’s action. ‘So, I’m not looking to pressure her; I’m going to relax and just be my authentic self.’The sun poured in strongly the next morning, beaming in on India's face, causing her to pull the sheet completely over her head. But the sun was relentless, to the point of even penetrating its blaring light through the sheets. "Oh my God, please...turn that light off." She groaned in her sleep.But she didn't get her wish. The bright light continued to shine directly on her face until she had no choice but t

17. She's Appealing

India glanced at his smooth skin and masculine face, and how he was peering at her sensually. The thought of waking up to a man like Denver every morning would be a treat. Ever since they've been here, India has found herself in her bedroom, dreaming of him lying next to her at night. But now that he's standing here in reality, she doesn't want him ever to leave her room. India moved the tray to the nightstand. “Well, I didn't have any particular plans. Why?” India tries to ignore his lascivious peering, she smiled back warmly and replied.“No plans? You mean you came all the way to a place like the Bahamas, and you didn't have any intentions of having fun?” Denver stood there, liking the thought of waking up, having a conversation, and making plans with someone special. It was far better than being in an empty house, in bed, with no one to bounce your ideas or plans off. This vacation/honeymoon feels like a dream. He thought to himself, as he sat there watching a different kind of

18. Competition

Trying to keep his hands from trembling while reaching for her lotion bottle. India had reservations; she saw that look in his eyes that she had seen earlier that morning at breakfast. But once again, she refuses to acknowledge it. As she began to rub it into his shoulders tenderly, he felt the softness of her touch, which set that fire inside him aflame again. He held his arms out so she could put it on them. Then, turning to face her, peering into her eyes, he said.“Please put it on my chest.” He said in an indicative tone.“Denver! Can't you do that yourself?”Mischievously smiling, he said. “Yes.... but I don't want to.”Denver made her smile. How could she resist? He's so good-looking and sexy! India turned her face away from him while she was rubbing his chest. Only glancing into his face, she realized he had closed his eyes with a smile of gratification on his face. As her hand slid over his deep collarbones across his strong, muscular chest, India felt her temperature instant

19. Heart To Heart

After Jet skiing, they lay out on the beach to relax and take in the last of the sun as evening was approaching.With his hands propped behind his head, he says. “India........do you feel what I'm feeling?”Glancing at him, she says. “I don't know what this is I'm feeling. But we can't let it happen. All of this is temporary.”He sits up next to her, his shoulder and arm touching hers, his eyes peering into her lovely face. “Why?”As India glanced at his lips, they looked full and scrumptious, and all she could think at that moment was, “Oh my goodness, Denver, don't consume me with your intense eyes.” She could barely speak at this moment, but India found strength.“This is just a vacation for you. I can't let this go any further than friendship..........I don’t want to ruin our relationship.”Just as India spoke the word friendship, Denver couldn't control his desire to kiss her soft lips. Leaning in to her, he let his lips softly touch hers. The very softness of the touch set off t

20. The Confession

They arrived at the beach cottage at 5 pm. Denver waited on the sofa while India took her shower. The thoughts he possessed were only amorous! His desires had him thinking of ways to be near her, like busting in the bathroom and joining her in the shower. But he thought that might scare her half to death. He plotted in his head to pretend he had to use the bathroom extremely badly, and then just get undressed and get in the shower with her. Thinking to himself. “I'm going insane!” He chuckled.All he knew was that he wanted to be desperately close to her. Grabbing his head in anguish, he asked himself a thousand times what he could do? He liked her more than he could stand right now, and Denver didn't want to go back home without her knowing for sure what she meant to him. India's bath was longer than usual, so he thought it would be wise to go to his room to get his clothes together for dinner. He made reservations at this very nice beachside restaurant and club; downstairs, there is
