it?”
    Before Josh followed the couple out on to the beach, he took off his footwear, giving in to the urge he’d felt since he’d got his first glimpse of the island. The fine, dry sand slipped between his toes with every step, and he let out a long, satisfied sigh.
    Amber spread out the blanket, and sat down, beckoning the two men to join her. She pulled from the basket the cake provided by Tiago’s wife, Gracie, a bottle of overproof rum and three heavy-based shot glasses. Not quite the picnic Josh had envisaged, but he wasn’t complaining.
    Amber produced a knife, hacked off a slice of the cake and cut it into chunks, while Felix poured three shots of rum. He handed one each to Amber and Josh, and raised his own glass.
    “Down in one!” he declared, and promptly swallowed his drink.
    Josh followed suit, gasping as the alcohol burned a fiery trail down to his belly. When he’d taken on the task of interviewing Felix Meredith, he’d never expected this. The man had always given the impression of being so remote, so self-contained, Josh had never expected that the student and wannabe rock star Felix had once been still lurked so close to the surface, looking for an opportunity such as this to emerge and party.
    They sampled Gracie’s cake, finding it moist and delicious. The sun dipped lower, though its heat still lingered in the air. Already, the night drew in, enveloping the beach in satiny darkness. To Josh, it felt as though they might be the only three people in existence.
    He licked crumbs from his fingers. “How long has Tiago worked for you?” he asked Felix.
    “Pretty much since we bought the place.” Felix paused in the act of pouring more rum. “I really love this part of the world, and I can’t tell you how good it feels to have a little piece of the Caribbean all to myself. Though we nearly lost Tiago and Gracie a couple of years ago, when a hurricane hit the town where they live. Flattened their house—hell, flattened most of the island. I made sure they got all the money and resources they needed to rebuild. And I’ve donated to other disaster relief efforts, too.”
    Felix the philanthropist, helping out others less fortunate than himself. It was another strand to the man’s character Josh needed to weave into his article.
    As if sensing the conversation was growing too heavy, Amber said, “Hey, we can talk about this some other time. For now, why don’t we just enjoy this beautiful evening—and each other?” The erotic intent in her voice was unmistakable.
    “What did you have in mind?” Felix asked.
    She pushed first one, then the other strap of her swimsuit off her shoulders. As Josh watched, open-mouthed, she pulled the garment down to her waist, revealing her breasts. “Why don’t we do a couple of body shots?”
    You don’t have to be naked for that, the rational part of Josh’s mind wanted to point out, but that thought was subsumed by his sudden, overwhelming desire for Amber. He ached to take her rosebud nipples between his lips and suck till she cried out in ecstasy.
    Amber lay back on the blanket, and let Felix pull her swimsuit off the rest of the way. Josh noticed she only had a small tuft of hair on her mound, and wondered if she’d waxed in preparation for their trip. His mouth watered at the thought of licking and tasting her soft, hairless sex lips.
    When she pushed her breasts together with her hands, Felix balanced one of the refilled shot glasses in the narrow channel between them. She held herself still as he invited Josh to drink from it. “Without using your hands,” Felix cautioned.
    This was going to end messily, Josh was sure, but still he bent low over Amber’s body, dipping his head so he could drink from the glass. He could smell whatever body lotion she used, as fragrant as the island flowers that filled the house, and the undisguised musk of her excitement. He took the rim of the glass between his teeth and gulped the liquid down, spluttering and
