leaving me in a bikini and flip-flops. I take the hair tie
from my wrist and start gathering my hair into a ponytail when I
catch a quick glimpse of James in the reflection from one of the
many mirrored surfaces. He’s totally naked, chiseled to absolute
perfection, and he’s looking up and down my body as I attempt to
tame my hair. He’s just so … sexy. It gives me a little shiver to
think that such a beautiful guy is checking me out, but I shrug
inwardly when I remember that the beautiful guy in question is my
best friend, not some hottie boyfriend.
    James and I emerge from the bedroom to find
Chad and Alejandro on the back deck, Chad soaking up the sun at the
patio table and Alejandro preparing the grill.
    “Damn, girl!” Alejandro grins when he sees
me. “You’ve got a body by Gucci!”
    I laugh loudly and curve forward a little in
an attempt to hide my huge boobs, which must be what he’s referring
to. They’re way too big for my body and I’ve been self-conscious
about them for years, but Alejandro’s being playful and it’s
cute.
    “Come over here, Hottie Boombalottie,” Chad
says, patting the chair beside him. “Come sit next to me.”
    I happily oblige, squeezing out a dab of
sunscreen from the bottle on the floor and lathering it on.
    Captain Scott fires up the motor and we start
heading out into the water. Once we’re sufficiently far from the
shore we park—probably not a boat term, but still. Alejandro tells
us to leave the grilling to him and go enjoy the sun on the main
deck, so the three of us head up to the big deck on the front,
which Chad says is actually called a foredeck. I’m so not a boat
girl and James laughs whenever I joke about starboard sides and
going aft.
    “Here, I have towels if you want to lay out
and tan,” Chad says, handing me a towel.
    I unroll it on the deck and recline back,
letting the sun soak into me. James grabs one and lies next to me
so I’m between him and Chad like the focal point for our
conversation.
    “So,” Chad asks, “how did you like the party?
Did you meet any sex-crazed porn stars?”
    I laugh and shake my head. “Only some
regular, boring ones. I was half expecting orgies and a giant fuck
fest to break out, but everybody was so sweet and nice.”
    “Well, orgy night was last week,” James
smirks.
    “Yeah, that’s right,” Chad laughs. “I took a
raincheck on that one, but I’ll have to remember next month’s Orgy
Friday.”
    I giggle and I notice James giving me a big,
pearly white smile. He doesn’t think he’s being obvious, but his
eyes are making quick little darting movements over my body like
he’s trying to be as discrete as possible, but not exactly pulling
it off. He’s checking me out. James is checking me out. It’s so
funny and flattering. He’s seen me in underwear and stuff—hell,
he’s seen my boobs before—but he seems so captivated today.
    “Everybody there was nice, except for those
two girls,” I add.
    “Who?!” Chad excitedly asks. “I have to
know!”
    I laugh loudly and bite my bottom lip before
revealing, “Lexi and Tara. They were sort of catty, just that girl
tone where they talk down to you. It was weird because I don’t know
them, I’ve never met them, and they were acting a bit bitchy to me.
It felt like high school bullshit.”
    “They’re jealous,” Chad says without even
pausing to think about it. “Porn’s most eligible bachelor walks
into a party with a really pretty girl on his arm and they go
apeshit. They have a crush on him, you know,” he points to
James.
    “They do not,” James chuckles and shakes his
head.
    “They do and you know it!” Chad teases.
    “Very interesting,” I smirk at James. “So not
one but two porn stars are into you, eh?”
    “Shut up, the both of you,” he laughs, his
smile sweet and embarrassed.
    “Lexi’s been in love with him ever since
their first scene together,” Chad mercilessly continues, much to my
delight. “Word on the street is that
