Charlie gazes at me.
“What?” I ask, weirded out by the way he’s looking at me.
“That’s the best thing you ever said to me.”
I punch his shoulder. “Because you earned it.”
We smile at each other. I feel Vincent’s eyes on me. I look across the pit, and he’s smiling at me. He tilts his head toward a more private strip of the beach. I nod. We both leap to our feet.
“Hey, where the hell are you taking my virginal cousin?” Charlie jokes.
I flip him the bird. Vincent sweeps me off my feet.
“Just dump the porn star and get your ass back to L.A.” I wink at him.
Charlie hops to his feet and cups his hands around his mouth. “Andy or Anne or Amy! Whatever the hell your name is, let’s go!”
I wave as Vincent carries me off. Charlie and Monroe sitting in a tree… I have a feeling I’m going to be stuck in the middle of a very, very wild ride.
However, I can’t give them any more thought. Vincent’s lips ask to be kissed. Once we’re out of sight, he spreads me on the sandy beach, strips me out of my cutoff shorts, and…
Well, you know the rest.
