Johnson.”
She pasted a smile upon her lips and focused her gaze on the bachelors. But it was Guy LeBreque’s magnetic blue eyes that held her. She recalled his kiss, and for a second, she forgot there were nineteen other men staring at her.
The sound of Henry’s voice brought her back to reality. “And our first bachelor is Mark Ritter from Wilmington, Delaware.”
Bachelor number one stepped forward and shook her hand. “Nice to meet you, Melody.” He smelled of Old Spice—her father’s favorite cologne—and the scent made him appear too old for her.
“Bachelor number two,” Henry continued, “hails from California. Johnny Evans.”
A strikingly handsome man took Melody’s hands in his own, causing her pulse to thrum.
“You look beautiful,” he said in a soft, sexy voice.
This one was a keeper! She barely heard Henry announce the rest of the men, Johnny had made such an impression on her. It wasn’t until Guy’s hand encircled her waist and his mouth brushed the side of her cheek that she came back down to earth.
He raised an ebony brow at her, as if he’d known she was in a fog, and whispered in her ear. “It’s wonderful to see you, Melody.” His breath tickled her neck, and spikes of electricity shot through her. “Again.”
Her cheeks grew hot. She hoped her blush wasn’t visible to the camera. “Nice to meet you too,” she grumbled, shaking free of his grasp. Guy was going to be trouble. He was much too overconfident for his own good.
The rest of the men were introduced; then Henry announced the five bachelors who’d be going on the first group date. Melody was pleased when she heard Johnny’s name called and a bit apprehensive at Guy’s, but her excitement returned when she learned she was going snorkeling at the local reefs.
Snorkeling was something she’d always dreamed of doing, but she never imagined she’d actually be given the opportunity to experience it, especially with a group of handsome men.
Perhaps it had worked out for the best that Johnny and Guy had been selected. She was attracted to them both, even if Guy did make her a bit edgy. Having the two bachelors together for the first date would give her the perfect opportunity to get to know them and compare their personalities.
After all, the reason she was there was to pretend to find her soul mate. And she couldn’t think of a better way to start things off than to spend the day out on the ocean with those two hot guys.
With a positive attitude, she headed to her bure to change her clothes, then meet the men back at the beach for an afternoon adventure.

It wasn’t long after Guystof had dressed that the lali drum sounded, calling a meeting at the beach for the group date with Melody. When he arrived there, he spotted the professor leaning up against a tree talking with the other bachelors. Guystof was glad that Johnny was in the group, so that he could keep an eye on the man he believed to be his stiffest competition.
A few minutes later, Melody arrived and the men fell silent. In a pair of cut-offs that hugged her shapely hips to perfection and a low cut tee that did little to conceal her perfectly shaped breasts, it was no wonder the golden-haired goddess knocked the breath out of them.
“Hello, gentlemen. Are you ready to explore the sea with me?” she asked.
The group let out a resounding whoop and followed her through the sand to where a large motorboat awaited them. Guystof hung back from the group and watched Melody climb aboard with the professor right behind, listening raptly to her every word. Guystof boarded last, content to stay in the background, at least for now. When the opportunity was right, he would make his move. Right now, he was content to just enjoy the lovely day.
He leaned against the boat’s rail and tipped his head back to let the sun’s rays warm his face. He’d never imagined it would feel so glorious, making all the years he’d roamed the dark even more
