kissing him as her climax drove them both into long, shaking tremors that had them clutching tight to each other.
    “God, you make me sweat,” he murmured against her lips.
    She pulled back and smiled at him. “It’s good off-season exercise for you.”
    She climbed off and they dashed into the bathroom to clean up, then Liz got dressed.
    As Gavin zipped his jeans, he looked at her in the mirror. “Now how are you going to explain this one to everyone?”
    She grabbed a photo album from the bookshelf. “We were looking for old photos of you from your childhood and I needed your help to find a certain picture that I wanted to put up in the house.” She rifled through the album and selected one of him when he was about eight years old.
    “That one?” he asked.
    “Yes. It’s one of my favorites, when you switched to first base. I love this pose and that toothless grin on your face. I want to frame it.”
    He shook his head. “Okay.”
    His wife was one sexy mystery to him.
    One of the many reasons he loved her so much.

Chapter Five
    There was nothing like a hot weekend in Jamaica to take Liz’s mind off work, wedding and holiday pressure. And the pressure of making a baby. Being with the girls this weekend was going to be amazing.
    Jenna had originally thought about going to Las Vegas, but Ty had told her that was where he and the guys were going, and she didn’t want to accidentally run into him. She truly wanted a girls-only experience, so Liz suggested they head toward Jamaica. Sure, it was out of the country, but Liz had connections and booked them into an all-inclusive resort. They were going to do the beach, and the spa, and then party away at the clubs until their feet were so sore they couldn’t stand anymore.
    Liz was going to make sure Jenna had the time of her life while she was still single. Not that they planned to get Jenna laid or anything, but she knew from experience that once you got married, you got wrapped up in each other, and less involved with all things related to the single life. Why not let Jenna cut loose and have a little fun?
    Their rooms were beautiful and spacious, with a magnificent view of the ocean. She’d booked adjoining suites so they could all move back and forth and hang out together. She and Jenna were in one room, while Savannah, Tara, and Alicia were in the other.
    Jenna got as far as opening her suitcase before she wandered out onto the terrace. “Get out here, Liz.”
    Liz followed.
    “This is fucking fabulous. I’m never leaving. Ty’s going to have to come down here for the wedding.”
    Liz grinned. “So you like it?”
    Jenna looked at her. “What’s not to like? It’s warm, gorgeous, and there’s no work to do. Put a drink in my hand and I’m telling you, you’ll have to drag me kicking and screaming back on the plane.”
    “Let’s get unpacked, hit the beach, and get started on those drinks, then.”
    Liz unpacked and changed into her swimsuit. She put on a cover-up and slipped on her sandals. By then, everyone else was unpacked. Jenna was nearly vibrating with excitement, so they all headed downstairs to the pool area.
    Liz had called down to rent a cabana while everyone else was unpacking and changing.
    “This is sweetly decadent,” Savannah said as they were escorted to the sheltered, private space right on the beach. “I could definitely get used to this level of pampering.”
    Immediately, a waiter showed up to take their drink orders.
    “I want something with rum in it,” Jenna said. “I think just a rum and pineapple juice.”
    “Trying to keep it simple?” Alicia asked.
    “Yes. Nothing too fruity. Those complicated recipes will sneak up on you and kick your ass.”
    “I’ll have the same,” Alicia said.
    “I’ll have rum and coconut juice,” Savannah said.
    Tara debated. “Actually, the pineapple juice does sound good. I’ll have that one.”
    The waiter looked at Liz. “Just orange juice, plain, for me.”
    Jenna cocked a
