“What happened?” she asked him, in a scratchy voice and then winced. He was sure her throat was pretty sore. His guilt over hitting her, at least took his mind off of his inappropriate thoughts.
“I ran into you with my surfboard, I didn’t see you out there. We’re going to the first aid station, to make sure everything is okay,” he answered her, as he entered the air conditioned building. She immediately began to shiver and his eyes were drawn to her beaded ni**les, making his breath come out in short pants. What the hell was wrong with him? He’d knocked the poor girl out, almost drowned her and to top it off he was lusting after her. He seriously needed to take some time for a date, one that ended with them in his bed.
He reached the first aid station, laid her down and quickly found a blanket to cover her up. It was both for her benefit and his. The doctor was there within minutes, as people tended to come running, when it was the owner of the place who needed service. She couldn’t seem to keep her eyes open though and fell asleep before he could begin his examination.
“What happened, Mr. Titan?” the doctor asked with concern, as he headed toward the girl.
“I was paddling out and ran into her in the water. I hit her pretty hard in the head and had to perform CPR. There wasn’t much water in her lungs, thankfully. She was only under the water for a few seconds,” he explained.
The doctor examined her thoroughly, before turning back to Drew. “She will be just fine. Her head is going to hurt pretty badly but other than that, there’s no permanent damage. She shouldn’t be alone tonight though, so if no one is with her, I strongly recommend she stay here overnight,” the doctor said. “She also needs to rub this aloe lotion on her skin, or she’s going to be hurting pretty badly,” he finished.
The resort’s biggest medical issue was always sunburned clients. They weren’t used to the intense heat of the island and never protected themselves enough, even though there were signs all over the place and the resort provided free sunblock in every room.
“I’ll make sure she’s taken care of,” Drew said and shook her awake. She partially opened her eyes, as if it took real effort.
“What’s your full name?” Drew asked her.
“Trinity Mathews,” she squeaked at him. “I’m on vacation,” she added with a smile. Her small smile lit up her face, making his breathing shallow once again. He was trying to shake off the dizzying effect she was having on him.
“Are you here with someone?” he asked and found himself holding his breath. He’d noticed she wasn’t wearing a ring but that didn’t necessarily mean anything.
“No I’m here on my own,” she answered. “My head really hurts,” she added with another wince of pain.
“The doctor gave you a shot for that. It will work much faster than pills. It should kick in soon,” he told her. She lay back down and drifted off to sleep once more. Drew sent a staff member out to get him the information he needed on Trinity. She came back quickly and confirmed Trinity was there alone and staying in one of the smaller rooms in the hotel. Well, he thought, Ms. Mathews just earned herself an upgrade to his nicest suite in the building.
He called in a bellhop, “move Ms. Mathew’s possessions to the executive suite,” he said. He then had to wake her back up again.
“Trinity, the resort is going to move you to a suite,” Drew said to her. She smiled at him, as if she was only half listening to what he said. Drew picked her back up in his arms, leaving the blanket on her and trudged through the hotel. A few employees tried to approach him but quickly backed off, after one look.
He made it to the elevator and rode it to the top floor. There were only a few rooms on that level and you had to have a special room key to even get up there. The doorman was waiting when he approached the door and held it open for him. He carried her inside and laid her down on one of the huge beds.
She snuggled down into the feather mattress and sighed. The doorman left and he found himself all alone with the gorgeous female. He shook her awake again and she glared at him. He had to suppress the smile that wanted to break out on his face. It was obvious she was getting tired of his interruptions.
“Trinity, I’m sorry to wake you but the doctor said you need to get this lotion on, or you’ll burn badly and hate life even worse, come morning,” he said to her. The drug the doctor had given her must have also been a sleep aid because her eyes closed again and she was out cold.
Drew groaned, as he realized he was going to have to apply the lotion himself. He looked skyward and wondered how much he could take of touching her supple body. He sang out loud, as he poured the lotion into his hands and began rubbing them together. He didn’t want to shock her, with cold lotion, on top of everything else. Once he rubbed it around his hands for a while, he began applying it to her legs.
He figured if he started with her legs, it would be easier on his libido. He was wrong, so very wrong. By the time he got the lotion all over her incredibly beautiful body, he had a throbbing erection and was breathing like he’d just run a marathon. On top of that, he had sweat dripping off his brow.
He walked out of the room and quickly jumped into a very cold shower. He stayed there until his skin started turning blue and his goose bumps had their own goose bumps. He got dressed and took out his laptop to start working on some business. If he was stuck indoors, he may as well get back to work.
Trinity woke up and her first thought was how famished she felt. She smelled something delicious drifting towards her and laughed as her stomach growled very loudly. She noticed she was in the softest bed she’d ever slept in and then looked around her. This wasn’t her room. She began to panic as she looked around. She vaguely remembered everything that had happened.
She’d been swimming and the next thing she remembered was the sexiest guy she’d ever seen in her life, leaning over her, with panicked eyes. Those eyes had been the same color as the gorgeous sea behind him and his uncovered chest had been dark and muscled. She tried to keep her eyes open and listen to what he was saying. She hadn’t known men that gorgeous really existed, beyond a Hollywood movie or one of her romance novels. She was thinking it must have all been part of her delusions because men that hot certainly didn’t exist in real life.
The next thing she remembered was the throbbing headache. She had been really irritated when someone kept waking her up because then she had to endure the pain. She reached her hand up to her head and felt around. There was a large lump on the side but the headache was gone. She could vaguely remember a doctor giving her something. Whatever it was had worked magic because she felt really good.
