.I still can’t believe this is actually happening—that we’re here together, half naked in each other’s arms."C’mon.Let me help you back to shore," Brooks says in that low, sexy tone I can’t get enough of."We can do it again—together this time."He turns his head and starts paddling toward the beach, pulling me with him.I so thought he was going to kiss me then, but he didn’t.I slouch against his chest, his one arm slung around my waist, the other strong enough to take us where we need to go.I feel how hard his heart is beating as he exerts himself, his breath coming out in controlled puffs.It’s only when my backside presses up against him that I’m in no doubt of what state he’s in, baggy swim trunks or not.I smile to myself, glad that he’s in as much torture as I am.BONUS Chapter ThreeSashaOkay, I can’t take much more of this.Brooks carried me up the aisle when I couldn’t walk in my stupid bridesmaid dress.He held me close when we were slow-dancing during the reception.But so far, his hands have stayed right where they should be, never straying to areas that might get us in trouble.But I want to be bad—as long as it’s with him.I take a swig from my third bottle of beer and watch as the moonlight turns his blond hair silver.His jacket is off, and his tie is loosened.He looks so good standing there on the sand in his bare feet.I could stay up all night looking at him.But I want to do so much more than look.I sidle up to him, hiking up my skirt, the hem already torn and dangling behind me.He’s not as far gone as I am.He’s still in control of himself.I need him to let loose and just be with me.I can tell he wants to, but he’s holding back.This is our last night together, and I want to make it count.He tosses the baseball he was holding on top of my purse, rolling his sleeves back down."Okay, you’ve made your point.You’re the best bunter I’ve ever seen, bar none."I scuff the lines of the makeshift batter’s box I drew with my toe."Don’t you want to see more?""No.You’ve laid down over twenty in a row.I believe you now." He grins at me.Yeah, he knows I’m buzzed."Why don’t you sit down next to me and relax? It’s a perfect night for star gazin’."All right.He wants to get cozy.Let’s get cozy.I’m all for snuggling on the beach.I stride over to him, shoving him onto his butt.He laughs at my eagerness, trying to brush the sand off his tuxedo pants, but I’m having none of it as I straddle his waist, lowering myself onto his lap."Hello there," he chuckles, gulping when I run my hands up his chest."Hello," I respond, grabbing fistfuls of his shirt to pull him closer."What’s that?" he asks, trying to slow things down as his fingers trace the path along my collarbone, playing with my pendant."Nothing," I mutter, not falling for one of his numerous attempts to waylay me.He tilts up my chin."Tell me," he beseeches, his eyes full of the same desire that’s bursting out of my every pore."I want to know.""It’s a charm I got after Matt collapsed.I had it engraved with all three of my brothers’ names after they were diagnosed with the same heart defect." I meet his gaze while relaying the significance behind it."You’re something special, Sasha Roberts.You know that?" His hand finds its way into my hair, loosening the jeweled clip holding it in place.I shake my head, letting my curls tumble down my back.I lower my head onto his lap and close my eyes.I gasp when his lips find my outstretched neck, savoring the sensation I’ve been yearning to feel.His kisses are featherlight as he works his way to my jawline.I’m so ready for him that I can’t help but groan at what he’s doing to me."I’ve never met anyone like you," he whispers."You’re unique and beautiful, like one of these seashells.There will never be another Sasha Roberts.Seeing you again has changed me.All I know is from this point forward my heart will forever beat in time with yours."After listening to him, the need to feel his heartbeat beneath my fingertips is overwhelming.He shifts above me as I start to unbutton his shirt, granting myself access to the perfection that lies beneath.My thumbs graze his nipples, and he groans in response just as his lips meet mine.His breath is warm, and I open my mouth more fully to him, giving our tongues room to explore.I never thought a kiss could be like this as every cell in my body comes alive.I slide his shirt off his shoulders.He hastily removes it from his wrists before his hands quickly return to my face.I skim my fingernails down his back before pulling him against my heaving breasts.He moans again, guiding himself on top of me, never breaking our kiss.I dig my toes into the sand and move against him.I feel a cloud drift across the moon through my semi-closed eyelids.The crash of the waves fills my ears, interspersed with our rhythmic panting.Brooks’s hand fondles my breast through the embroidered satin of my dress, and I feel like I’m about to be transported out of my body into a realm of pleasure I’ve only ever dreamed of before.Wow—I never knew anything could feel this good.He’s working on lowering the zipper when an angry cry rends the night sky."What the hell is going on here? Get the fuck off my sister!"I hear Kyle’s voice before I see him.I feel him yank Brooks off of me and shove him away.I open my eyes and see Kyle’s bright-red face as he takes in the number of beer bottles littering the beach and my bleary-eyed expression."Dude, it’s not what you think." Brooks holds up his hands, staggering backward."Yeah, she’s drunk.You’re half dressed.What the hell is wrong with you, man? She’s my sister!" Kyle is livid.I’ve never seen him get this mad before."Did you think she was just going to be some easy lay? Well, think again! C’mon, Sasha.I’m getting you out of here."Kyle extends his hand, but I don’t take it."C’mon!" Kyle growls, losing all patience with me as he grabs ahold of my arm, pulling me to my feet."Kyle, don’t," I beg, trying to free my arm."I came to check on you when you didn’t come back.Boy, am I glad I did." Kyle runs his hands through his hair as it’s getting strewn about by the ocean breeze."I can’t believe you would do this to me, man.On my wedding night, no less.""Ky, I like her, okay?" Brooks protests as Kyle starts dragging me up the beach."Yeah, sure you do," Kyle grumbles, and I struggle against his iron grip."C’mon, man.Stop!" Brooks grabs him by the shoulder, and Kyle takes a swing at him."Don’t you fucking touch me right now," Kyle glowers, and Brooks takes two steps back."Get the hell away from me, or I swear I’ll beat you to within an inch of your life, so help me God.You crossed a line tonight, one you should never have crossed.""Ky, please don’t!" I wail, urging him to stop."Not another word." Kyle silences me with a look."Let’s go." He points a finger at Brooks."We’ll talk about this in the morning.For now, stay the fuck away from her."Kyle charges up the wooden boardwalk leading to the resort, the train of my dress trailing behind us.I try to turn around and look at Brooks, but Kyle’s hold on my arm is like a vise.I’ll have to find him tomorrow before we leave.It can’t end like this.It can’t.BONUS Chapter FourBrooksI wait, ready to plead my case.Kyle texted me ten minutes ago with the message: POOL NOW.But he’s still not here yet.I can’t believe he’d want to leave Casey alone in bed on their first morning as man and wife.He must really intend to ream me out.I had a feeling he’d flip his lid if he caught me with Sasha, but he knows me better than that.He was out of line with the things he accused me of.Like I’d ever force myself on Sasha, take her against her will
