Chapter 618

• Daniel started rehashing another trip last year, another summer vacation a group of them had gone on. There had been sixteen of them that time, and of course, Marissa. She had tried to get into his bed on more than one occasion, and he had even woken up with her writhing on top of him naked, trying to get him hard. He had considered it for all of ten seconds before shoving her ungracefully to the floor and then proceeded to fuck every girl she’d brought with her over the next couple of days to piss her off.
• Marissa looked his way devilishly, obviously remembering his little backlash, and he felt smug for a moment. He maybe had no feelings for the girl anymore but getting some sick payback for what she had done to him always got a reaction. They seemed to keep doing this, going around in circles year after year until he had met Emma … Now it no longer interested him at all, and he had no intentions of trying to beat her at any more games of seduction ever again.
• The waitress came with a tray and laid another round of drinks on the canopied table. Jake handed Emma a fresh cocktail with his free hand, his mouth lingering close to her temple a little longer than necessary as he smelled her, weird and probably a tad obsessive, but she always smelled edible. Tropical fruits and slightly sexual in a way, and he liked to do it because he was fucking weird when it came to her. He had long ago stopped even questioning the shit he did around her.
