We'll have to have you over for dinner sometime."
    "That would be nice."
    Drew parked the golf cart to the side of a pier that jutted out over the water. It had several branches on either side that led to private villas. The end of the pier had a magnificent view of the green mountains and an even more amazing woman.
    Her long dark hair waved in the breeze, hypnotizing Griffin. Her shoulders were bare, revealing her sun-kissed skin.  Slowly, she spread her arms wide as she leaned forward against the railing.
    The wind blew, wrapping her skirt around her, making it cling to her curves. Griffin thought her hips were just the right size for his hands to grip.
    Griffin couldn't take his eyes off her. From just what he could see of her from behind, she was exactly his type, but it wasn't like him to be so drawn to a woman. Especially when he couldn’t even see her face. Yesterday he said that Nilsson needed to get laid, but Griffin was beginning to think it had been too long for him too. That was the only explanation for why he couldn't tear his eyes away from her.
    "I put you in the Royal Villa," Drew said as he walked towards the last villa on the pier.
    Pull yourself together, Griffin thought to himself.
    "Thank you," Griffin said as Drew handed him the room key. "It's stunning."
    Griffin wasn't talking about the villa.
    Drew looked at his watch and said his goodbyes. Griffin couldn't be bothered with looking at the room amenities. His mind was still on the pier with the beautiful woman. There was no way she could be at an exotic resort by herself, but he could dream, couldn't he?
    If he hadn't made that promise to his father, he would have introduced himself by now. But he needed his father's help. The last thing he wanted was to have to deal with the lawsuit and the deposition on his own. He didn't have time for that nonsense.
    Griffin walked out onto the terrace where he saw the woman was still standing. She was in deep conversation with a friend, leading him to believe there was no husband.
    Fate had to put her there to drive him crazy and to tempt him to break his promise to his dad. Griffin's impulsive tendencies were pushing him to make his move, but he didn't want to let his father down.
    The wind whipped her hair around, revealing her long neck and sending him over the edge. He was four thousand miles from Seattle, and what his father didn't know wouldn't hurt him. Besides, if he was here, he would understand. Griffin didn't have a choice, he had to meet her.

    "Get over here!" Keira said between clenched teeth.
    Monica pulled the villa's door closed behind her as she joined her friend at the end of the pier.
    "What? You look like you've seen a ghost."
    Keira grabbed her friend by her shoulders and positioned her so she was facing the last villa.
    "Well hellllooo," Monica said as she noticed the man on the terrace. "Did you see how his butt fills out those jeans? This trip just keeps getting better."
    "No, it doesn't. You have no idea who that is. That is Griffin Goodrich."
    "Walt's son? What a coincidence. Did Walt tell you he was coming here?"
    "No, he didn't, but why would he?" Keira took a quick glance over her shoulder and looked at Griffin through the curtain of her hair.
    "How did you know him?" Monica asked.
    "My parents used to tutor him. That's how I met Walt. They'd bring me along with them and I loved it because I always had such a crush on Griffin, but of course he didn't give me the time of day."
    "What a jerk."
    Keira laughed. "He really wasn't, but I was so much younger. I was four years younger than him so he probably didn't think of me as anything but some stupid kid who stared at him nonstop. I was so ridiculous I'm ashamed just thinking about it. But seriously, and I don't know if it's the air out here or what, because I've never admitted this to anyone before, but he is that one guy." Keira sighed dreamily. "Do you know what I mean?"
    "No, I'm still waiting to meet that
