“Get your mind out of the gutter,” Brooke snapped.

A denial sprung to my lips but I swallowed it back. “You look beautiful.”

“You don’t think it’s too sexy for the wedding?” she asked, looking down at herself.

I cleared my throat. Was it me or had the room suddenly become stifling hot? “No, it’s perfect.”

She grinned. “Thanks. I’ll try on one more. I think I might have gone overboard with this one.” She giggled. “This trip is bringing out my wild side. I want to be wild for a week. Does that make sense?”

I nodded, unable to speak. If Brooke wanted to be wild, I’d definitely be there to witness it. Then a thought crossed my mind. Just what kind of wildness was she talking about? Did it involve guys, because if it did…

A few minutes later, Brooke’s footsteps sounded and I looked up expectantly towards the door.

When she emerged, I lost all my powers of speech. The only movement came from the lower half of me. My cock ‒ acknowledging never having witnessed such sexiness ‒ pulsed to life.

She wore what was technically a bikini but in reality, was a scrap of cloth barely covering anything. I saw skin everywhere I looked. She had thick mouthwatering hips and I couldn’t help but stare at the swell of her pussy and imagine licking it, tasting it, inhaling it.

I must have groaned out aloud, because Brooke asked me in a concerned voice if I was okay.

I cleared my voice. “I’m good. You look amazing.” I sounded how I felt. Lust filled. Out of my mind desperate to touch, to see if her skin felt as soft as it looked. To plant kisses on her belly. To cup her pussy in my big hand and claim it as mine with my cock.

She entered the room and walked the length as if she were on a catwalk.

I kept ogling her but I didn’t care. The scrap of cloth disappeared somewhere in her ass crack, leaving her ass bare. All the blood left my body and dropped to my cock.

I had never wanted a woman as much as I wanted my best friend in this moment. I needed a cold shower desperately. Anything to take my mind off her hot body and fantasies of claiming her. Making her mine. My decision was made.

I had a new mission for Hawaii.

Chapter Three

Brooke

I grinned like a fool in the Uber on the way to our apartment. The skies were blue and the sun was wonderfully hot. I had already fallen deep into a vacation mood. I couldn’t believe Blaze had to coax me into going with him. I’d been an idiot.

“I’m waiting for your undying gratitude,” Blaze said, his gaze burning the side of my face.

“You have it,” I said looking out the window at the passing views. “This is so beautiful.” I inhaled salt tinged air and twirled my fingers around the lei that a beautiful girl ‒ who looked like a belly dancer ‒ had draped around my neck.

I was headed to a condo where I would spend a week with Blaze in vacation mode, a voice in my head reminded me. I was well aware of this but I refused to let my attraction for my best friend ruin the vacation for me. I wasn’t a teenager and could control myself.

We would probably be busy with other people, I reminded myself. Maybe I would even meet someone. Weren’t vacations all about short exciting flings? I for one was ready for anything. I felt free, as if in leaving the mainland, I had left behind my inhibitions.

The condo complex looked just as pretty as I had imagined it to be.

As soon as the Uber came to a stop, a lady clad in a white sleeveless shirt and a skirt stepped out the front glass doors. She came towards us smiling and struck out her hand. “Hi, welcome to Oahu! I’m Nadine and I’m your host for your entire vacation.”

We introduced ourselves.

A young man joined us and easily grabbed our suitcases.

We made our way into the building as Nadine rattled off all the amenities for our convenience. Restaurants, swimming pools, beach, food, gorgeous views, it all sounded perfect.

Our condo was on the third floor and when we entered, I felt as if I had stepped into paradise. Everywhere I looked, I saw glass views of the blue ocean and the mountains. I immediately made for the French doors and stepped out onto the balcony, leaving Blaze and Nadine to conclude our check in.

I rested my hands on the rail and gazed out at the beach. It wasn’t overcrowded and I couldn’t wait to join the people relaxing on the sand.

After a moment, I heard the French doors open and Blaze stepped out.

He came to stand behind me and slipped his hands around my waist.

I stiffened. A weird reaction as it was a totally Blaze thing to do. Except things had changed. The tropical setting, the perfect view of the beach and the almost naked people on the sand. All this worked to hike up my attraction for Blaze. Heat swamped me as he continued to hold me. Heat sizzled over my back as his body fit snugly behind mine. I closed my eyes and inhaled his masculine scent. Sparks of desire shot through my body, pooling at my core.

“I bet you can’t wait to be out there lying in the sun,” Blaze said and chuckled.

I knew he was remembering the bikini. I gave off a nervous laugh. I’d been so brave buying the G string bikini and modeling it for Blaze. Seeing his reaction had been worth it. It had been silly but a part of me had wanted to prove I could attract Blaze. I hadn’t missed the hard on he’d been trying to hide in my bedroom. The thought of him seeing me again in my
