like you.” Knox whispers.
    I close my eyes and bite down hard on my bottom lip. I slowly open my eyes, hoping to ignore that comment. He can try and woo me all he wants, I’m not caving. I refuse.
    Before Knox can say anything further I can see someone approaching, I look back out at the ocean, feeling a little shy. Knox is oblivious until the person comes over and rests his elbows on both of our shoulders.
    I snap my head in the direction of the laughter that is now filling the silence.
    “Sorry about that. I didn’t realize you guys were coming so early.”
    I shrug this guy’s elbow off my shoulder.
    Knox chuckles, “Cade this is Jasmine Jennings, Jasmine this is Cade Stevens.”
    I manage to muster up a small smile.
    He smiles happily, oblivious to my distaste of what we walked in on and says, “What’s up JJ?”
    I glare, hard. “Jasmine,” I correct him. I hate when people call me that when they don’t even know me.
    He throws his head back and laughs. I peek over at Knox who shakes his head and walks away. I figure now it’s safe and turn around to find out where the hell Summer went, but I don’t see her anywhere so I follow Knox into the kitchen. Same color walls with stainless steel appliances and dark gray cabinets. That’s something you don’t see a lot of and it gives the kitchen a more modern look.
    “You hungry?” Knox asks me. He walks over to the fridge and starts shuffling things around.
    “No but I’ll take a bottle of water if you have one please.”
    He hands me the bottle but doesn’t let go. I look up, waiting for him to say something, but he doesn’t. He’s just staring intently at me like he wants to devour me. I pull the bottle a little harder but he still doesn’t let go. Instead he jerks the bottle towards him and I collide right into him. Chest to chest, stomach to stomach, legs to legs, the only thing separating us is the water bottle that’s between our bodies.
    I hear Cade bark a laugh, “Alright, alright, I got it man. No need to piss on your territory.”
    I immediately let go of the bottle and take a step back from Knox who’s still staring at me. I feel my cheeks start to burn and I turn to walk away but he grabs my wrist.
    I turn towards him, “Go up the steps we passed when we walked in, second bedroom on the right.”
    I have no idea where he is sending me but I don’t give it another thought. I start to walk back down the hallway when I hear Cade say something about a nice ass.
    Pig.
    I follow Knox’s directions and I run into a couple walking down the steps. I slide to the side so they can pass. I wonder who that was and if they know Cade was down here just a few minutes ago screwing some girl on the couch. They seem nice enough as they both said hi when passing me. The girl was cute, a tiny little thing. She’s burnt to a crisp, skin glowing red. Her blue eyes popping out against the reddened skin, her long poker straight hair has brown and blonde highlights throughout. The guy is similar to Knox’s height. Jet black hair, green eyes and a scruffy looking face that just made him hotter. His skin is bronzed and he is very muscular, maybe even more so than Knox.
    I walk up to the second door and peek my head into the open door, not really knowing what to expect. I sigh in relief when I notice Summer and Rex sitting on the bed talking. I walk in and take a seat next to Summer. Rex nods at me.
    “Okay look, you’re going to get pissed but I don’t know what else to do.” Summer starts whining.
    “What’s going on?” I truly don’t know what it could be. The vacation so far is going well.
    “You have to sleep in Knox’s room.” Summer rushes out.
    Knox walks in before I can even decipher what she just spit out.
    I glance up and he holds the water bottle out to me that I never got downstairs, I take it and smile at him.
    I squint at Summer and ask, “What did you say?”
    “You have to sleep in Knox’s room. With everyone else here there isn’t
