The Kiss (Playboy Pact #1)(8)
Author: M. Robinson

I gazed around. “You mean the boat? You want to own a catamaran?”

“Something like that. I want to open a business that caters to selling the dream.”

“Selling the dream? What do you mean? What dream?”

“Love.”

“Come again?”

“I mean take a look around, Mila. What do you see?”

“Ummm, people?”

“No. You see people hooking up, you see couples reconnecting, you see the dream of love. It’s been on this island the entire time we’ve been here. Why? Because everyone is on vacation and they’re here to escape from one thing or another.”

“Okay… so what does that have to do with you?”

“I want to sell the dream, have couples who need to reconnect on my catamaran. I can do this. I can cater to a couple for a week or two. Take them offshore to go fishing while the wives do exactly what you are right now, drinking like a fish and laying out in the sun as their big strong husbands catch their dinner. Then they can have moonlight dinners, they can dance under the stars. You know, sell the dream.”

“Wow, you’ve really given this a lot of thought.”

“I’m a psych major like you. I know a lot about the human mind.”

It was true, over the last four years Cain and I had a couple of classes together. He was smart, perceptive, involved in class discussions, and from what I could tell he received good grades.

Suddenly, he stared straight into my eyes and said, “I don’t believe in love, but I want to sell what my parents never had. A relationship, a connection, a desire to please one another. I’m going to sell the dream, even though I don’t believe in it.”

 

This whole conversation almost knocked me on my ass.

 

 

Chapter 6

 

 

—Leo—

 


We were sitting on the couch in my cabin. We’d been back in Tennessee for a couple of days now and reality was starting to kick in with finals right around the corner.

“Let’s watch a movie.” Mila grabbed the remote out of my hand.

“As long as it’s not another chick flick.”

“Oh, come on… how many man movies have you made me watch?”

“Not nearly as many as you’ve made me watch.”

She smiled. “What can I say? I’m a sucker for a hot guy with abs.”

“That explains your horrible taste in men.”

“Seriously? Pot meet Kettle. You’re the king of shitty women.”

“Did you mean slutty women?”

“Yeah, that too.”

“Listen.” I shook my head. “I’m not the one that’s looking for love in all the wrong places.”

“Because you’re such an expert on the subject?”

“I don’t have to be an expert to know that you date fucking douchebags.”

“At least I put myself out there.”

I grinned. “I put parts of myself out there.”

“Oh, that’s big of you.”

“Did you just call my dick big?”

“Of course your big head would think that.”

“Again, with the big innuendos of my cock. I know it’s been a long time for you, Mila, but if you need me to be a good friend, I mean… I guess I could throw you a bone.” I winked at her. “A huge one.”

“How noble of you.”

“What can I say? You bring out the best in me.”

“You don’t want to have sex with me.”

“Yeah, you’re right. I’m good right now, thanks.”

“I did not mean that as a question and you know it. Besides, I just had sex in Cancun so I’m freshly fuc—”

“I didn’t know you had sex in Cancun.”

“What? You introduced us.”

I arched an eyebrow, confused.

“John…”

“John?” I scoffed out. “The fucking douche from the party?”

“He wasn’t a douche. He’s in medical school.”

“How many times do I have to tell you that men lie to get into chick’s panties?”

“He wasn’t lying.”

“And you know this how?”

“He knew a lot about the human body.”

“The female body is my specialty too, Mila, but Grey’s Anatomy can teach a motherfucker about that as well, not to mention porn.”

“Oh my God! I’m not even referring to my body. Although, he was good in bed.”

“He was so good in bed I’m just now hearing about it? And you woke up in your own bed the next morning?”

“So?”

“Trust me, Lala, if he were that good in bed, you would have stayed the night. I would know, I wake up with my dick in chick’s mouths more often than not, just because they want me to fuck them again.”

“You know sleeping around doesn’t have to be your only personality trait.”

“But it’s my best one.”

She eyed me skeptically. “I know he was in medical school, you want to know how I know?”

“Please, enlighten me.”

“He knew all the things, just like Sawyer.”

“Huh, so your bar is set to what Sawyer sounds like? Interesting, considering he’s in pre-med just to get laid. The whole ‘I’m going to be a doctor’ thing, is a really big turn on for women.”

“Or maybe he actually wants to do something for himself. Like Cain does. Like maybe you should want too.”

“Oh, so now you know what Cain wants out of life too?”

“You’re missing the point, Leo. Women usually like men with ambition. It’s hot.”

“Women always like men who make them come. It’s hotter.”

“Fine.” She put her hands up in the air. “I give up. You win.”

“Now those are my favorite words.”

“You’re horrible. You know that, right?”

“It’s why you love me.”

“It’s why I shouldn’t.”

“Lala, we both know you would be devastated if you didn’t have me in your life.”

Before the last word left my mouth, she knocked me in the face with a pillow.

Starting a war, she wouldn’t win.

 

 

—Mila—

 


His eyes went wide.

“Oh, Lala, it’s on.”

I shrieked, about to jump off the couch, but I was too slow. He tackled me onto the cushion, going straight for my inner thigh.

“Leo, don’t you dare,” I warned as his finger dug into my skin. “You can’t do this! You can’t—”

“Try and stop me, Mila.”

I tried to shove his hand away. “You always do this. You always tickle me, it’s not fair!”

“What’s not fair? That you love it? Is that what’s not fair?”

“No!”

He grinned, squeezed, and I lost my shit. Kicking my legs, flailing everywhere, my body shook uncontrollably from his assault.

I would not laugh. I could not laugh.

This only made him squeeze harder, twitching his fingers right on the muscle to the point of pain. It was like when you hit your damn funny bone, it hurt like a son of a bitch, but it made you laugh from the sting. I couldn’t take it anymore and I squealed, laughing hysterically and screaming all at the same time. His body firmly locked on top of mine, giving him the advantage to torture me unmercifully and with no remorse.
