We hadn’t spoken in ages and I wanted to keep it that way. To find out he was making dealings with someone under my wing was not only disrespectful but showed how much he still didn’t understand about his son.

I didn’t play games. I didn’t allow foolery. There was no way he could assume I wouldn’t handle missing products immediately and not find the source before they left the island. He was an ignorant, pompous asshole that I now had to deal with. That alone had my body tense as hell. I wanted nothing more than to relax this weekend like planned and doing yoga on the beach would help that tremendously.

I carried my duffel bag and yoga mat to the secluded beach area and was surprised to see my late-night beauty bent over stretching with a headset on. She must be leading the class. Surprisingly there were only a couple of ladies here so far. I must’ve been early. Once she stood and saw me standing a little bit away from her, she froze in place and gulped hard like I was going to harm her. That was the last thing on my mind and it looked like I needed to do some convincing to make her believe so.

“Hello, beautiful,” I said as I approached her.

“Brandy,” she replied.

“Good morning, Brandy.”

She blushed but tried to downplay how I made her feel. Her switching from foot to foot let me know she was aroused by my presence and she was giving me the same lustful and intrigued eyes as last night. Her deep-set brown eyes had me stuck on stupid and I had to gather my wits quickly before she lost all interest.

“What are you doing here, Armond?” she asked after a few seconds of our stare down.She remembered my name.That was fascinating, after what she witnessed last night. Whereas I should be alarmed, I simply wasn’t. Not when it came to her and I needed to know why. I smirked and she blushed again as she pushed her hair behind her ear.

“I’m here for yoga on the beach,” I replied.

“Well, I can see that with that yoga mat in your arms.”

“Then why ask?”

“To see if you had any other motives.”

I chuckled. “The only other motive I have is to take you out to dinner, Brandy.”

“Dinner?”

“Would that be a problem?”

“No…not a problem, just unexpected.”

“Why so?”

“Why me?”

I couldn’t help but laugh. She couldn’t be serious right now. She was the most beautiful woman I’d ever set my eyes on. Why not her? Those thick, kissable lips and big round eyes were enough to have me rethinking life.

“If you felt any bit of what I felt when we locked eyes last night then you already know that answer,” I replied.

“Well, you were quite taken with me.” She smiled.

She bent over to stretch more, giving me a full view of her plump ass. I couldn’t help but zone right in on it and beg my man below to behave. She was a smart ass and I liked it. I had to focus on that instead of the heat rising in my body. I wanted every bit of her.

“I could say the same,” I finally responded.

“You’re alright.” She giggled.

I stretched my mat out and joined her in the bent over position. That shit hurt like high hell, but I had to play it properly. I wanted to impress her and I still couldn’t figure out why. I should very well be telling her to forget what she saw last night instead of trying to get to know her. More so, she should be dead. I didn’t leave witnesses.

I grimaced as I stretched to my left and she snickered beside me.

“Looks like you need me after all,” she said as she stood.

She walked behind me and I instantly shot up.

“No, no. Get back down there, Armond. I’m going to help you fix your position so you can get a better stretch. No funny business, I promise,” she explained.

“You can’t stand beside me and show me what to do?”
