CHAPTER SEVEN

Turned out that having every thing stolen didn’t make it straightforward to get dwelling.

Not with a darkish and harmful, closely tattooed man, following on my heels—on foot, at the least he’d ditched the motorbike, as a result of having him comply with me on that might’ve been subsequent stage.

A minimum of he stored his distance—which I appreciated.

After a second of panic, I got here to understand the black SUV that lower me off, as properly. Particularly when the motive force advised me he was tasked to drive me again to the lodge.

Ought to’ve recognized Alex wouldn’t simply let me wander away alone or fend for myself.

Too overprotective to try this.

And likewise, too rattling overbearing.

After I arrived in my room, I undressed on the spot and instantly took a heavenly sizzling and luxuriously lengthy bathe.

I unfastened the towel and opened the closet.

My eyes fell on the emerald-green gown—the one he’d stated he hated—which already hung in my closet, together with all the opposite garments I’d tried on and—all the garments and toiletries I might ever want.

I regarded round. I hadn’t paid consideration to the room, however on the small desk lay a bank card and a pill. I walked over and studied the be aware connected saying:

So you possibly can google me till you’ve your telephone again, or do some on-line procuring.

How did Alex handle to get all of this to my room within the time it took me to get again?

And why would he even care?

I walked again to the closet and let the cool silk of the gown run by means of my fingers. Why would he get the gown if he hated it?

I shook my head. I actually had no concept what was going by means of his head. And I used to be higher off not caring.

I selected a plain, white sundress as an alternative. Adequate for a solo meal, since Gabe and Sophie had been off to a romantic dinner on the outskirts of Valetta.

Good for them…okay, for me. However why did they need to take me with them on their honeymoon?

It was such an idiotic transfer.

I sighed, then straightened.

Cease wallowing in self-pity, silly. Sophie is the happiest she’s ever been. She deserves all of the romantic dinners together with her hubby she will get.

I simply hoped Alex’s energy on this island was nice sufficient to get me again my purse. So I might escape this darn island ASAP.

I pulled on the gown and regarded myself over within the mirror. My pores and skin was slightly greater than sunkissed, although Alex purchased me sunscreen and watched me making use of it with dangerously darkening eyes.

I shook my head at myself.

I wanted to shake it off. This chemistry between us, this unnerving push-pull that I used to be feeling—not taking place. Right now was an exception.

Alex Falcone was not for me.

I left my room and walked to the principle constructing that housed the restaurant.

I hated consuming alone—although I’d achieved so more often than not every time I used to be dwelling.

A great previous household dinner?
