Island Home Read online

  Her hand was warm against his chest and her head nuzzled between his shoulder and neck.

  “What are you thinking?” she asked.

  “That I want to stay right here forever. At least until the tourists start taking pictures of us.” He felt her laughter and realized he was smiling too. The locals were going to be in for a surprise in just a few hours since smiling wasn’t something he did often.

  “I was thinking I’m glad old Jesse decided to break his promise to you and left me his share. I wanted to come home and it gave me a reason.” The sigh against his chest was soft and warm. “Maybe he was trying to do something right. To make up for all the wrong.”

  “More likely he was just trying to piss me off and make things awkward for you, but I like that you try to see the best in everyone. I’m glad you’re the kind of person you are, despite what you had to live through. And I’m glad you came home.”

  She leaned up so she could look down at him and she kissed him softly on the lips, a slow melding that had the embers of a banked fire stirring inside him once more.

  “I’m glad you said that. Because I’ve got a lot of new ideas and changes for the bar.”

  They were both laughing as he rolled her to her back, but the laughter turned into moans as he slipped slowly inside of her. His lips touched gently to hers before he started to move.

  “Welcome home, Jess.”
