to the villa.”
    She pressed a finger to his lips. They were softer than she’d expected and slightly damp. “I changed my mind.”
    He wrapped his warm fingers around her wrist and kissed her finger, then brought her hand down to his chest. She pressed against the bare skin where his undone buttons exposed a few wisps of the sparse chest hair that defined his muscles so beautifully.
    She opened both eyes and stared at her hand there, her sugar-plum manicure too innocent for the scene painting in her mind. She wanted to roll on top of him and kiss him until he forgot all his stories. Which would never happen, even if she tried.
    “I’ll stop, but this is the part my brother likes best. I’m thinking the water sobered them up a bit and things are going to go my way. I let them into the house and drop their clothes in the dining room. I go back in the living room and they’re at it again. So I watch as they explore, touching and tasting and rubbing until one kneels down and starts licking and she looks up and says, ‘Tell me what to do.’ I almost came right there.”
    “Did you tell her?” Her tummy tensed, preparing for the punch in the gut. But she needed this, after hearing about his escapade she wouldn’t be tempted to be another of his stories.
    “She wasn’t talking to me.” He rested his hand on the curve of her hip, making her breath hitch. “One lay down and the other three pulled her legs back and went at her pussy. That’s when I moved closer because I had to see it. Flicking and licking and humming.”
    He leaned close and vibrated his lips against her cheek. Holly clenched her inner muscles as her core gave a spasm of want.
    Harm shifted away and continued. “I had no idea. They were directing each other and trying techniques I’d never imagined. Eventually it became a circle of them all down on another with me in the middle. I don’t know how they managed to fall asleep all pussy-faced. But I didn’t want to leave in case it started up again.”
    “So you’re saying your orgy was a graduate course in cunnilingus and you didn’t even get your cock out?”
    He laughed, his chest vibrating beneath her hand. “See? You judged it all wrong.”
    “Or maybe you’re making it up. You could tell that story so women want you to show them what you learned.”
    He pinned her with a sexy, smoldering stare. “If you want me to prove it to you…”
    “I know you seduce women for sport, but not me, okay? Be a good friend here, Harm.” She closed her eyes and took a breath to calm herself and rise above the tide of lust threatening to carry her away. Harm’s musky scent pushed through her instead, tempting her to dive in. Everyone fantasized about sex on the beach. This could be her shot at it.
    “And if I want to be more than friends?”
    “You don’t though.” She stared into his eyes, surprised by the earnestness there. Either she was a sucker, or he was one hell of an actor. “Whether you see it or not, this whole routine is just your way of getting back at Saskia for telling you not to screw the models. Do her one better and sleep with her best friend. But I’m a person, and beneath the hard-candy shell I’m a big marshmallow. We’ll be tangled in each other’s lives forever, and I don’t want it to be awkward.”
    “You don’t think we’ve already crossed that line?” He shifted closer, the heat of his body seeping into hers.
    “We’ll be fine if we walk away now.”

Chapter Nine
    Harm stared into the depths of Holly’s brown gaze and saw the lie glistening there as surely as the gold flecks in her eyes. They weren’t going to get past this, neither of them. Whatever it was, it wouldn’t be ignored.
    He wished he could let it go. He’d had enough reticence in his early life, he didn’t need more. No matter what he accomplished, a part of him would forever remain the little boy who lost his mother too soon, who’d been forced to realize his hero was human, who’d done
