leery of trying a thong, thinking it might be uncomfortable, but it wasn’t bad at all. She’d sort of forgotten it was there, and the reaction Adam had had to discovering it had made it so worth all the time she’d spent trying on lingerie and looking at her forty-something body in the mirror of the extremely well-lit dressing room.
At least the working out she’d been doing had started to pay off in the end… her end. She giggled at the double entendre.
“Now that’s what I like to hear.” Adam grinned at her, stood and held his hands down to her. She clasped them and he levered her to her feet then pulled her into a hug. Tori was beginning to cool down now and feel a bit sticky. She couldn’t help a grimace as their bare torsos separated.
“Yeah, I agree.” He nodded. “I’m thinking we go for that dip in the complex pool before dinner. I’m planning to grill anyway, and it’s warm enough that we could just stay in our suits while we cook and eat. Kind of like being in Hawaii.”
“Hawaii. I’ve always wanted to go there,” Tori confessed. She’d never been, but a lot of her co-workers took annual trips there.
Adam stared at her with an odd expression. “You’ve never been to Hawaii? It’s only a five-hour flight from here.”
She squirmed a bit. “Yes, I know. I told you I don’t get out much.” She was irritated, but more with herself than him. She shrugged, trying not to get defensive. “I’ve just never taken many vacations, and I’m not sure who I’d go with anyway.”
Adam put a soothing hand on her shoulder and walked with her towards where they’d dropped her bags earlier. “I didn’t mean that, necessarily. I just thought that since you’d grown up in California you might have gone with your family at some point.”
She snickered at the image of her parents in Hawaii. “That’s just funny. I’m sorry. No, they’re not the tropical holiday types. My mom is way more of a redhead than I am and she’s terrified of the sun…and of anything out of the ordinary routine, for that matter. And when Dad’s not at work, he’s glued to his laptop, tinkering with his experiments. They’re pretty much homebodies.” She shrugged again, knowing that she’d probably inherited the worst possible combination of traits from both parents. The non-adventurous part of her mom and the workaholic part of her dad.
Adam handed her shirt, purse and bag with her suit in it to her. “No siblings?”
“No, just me.” She looked at him curiously. “You?”
“God, yes. Two of each, but we’re all over the country. We all try to get together—as many of us as possible, anyway—at least once or twice a year, usually in the summer somewhere fun, then at Dad’s or my oldest sister Becky’s for one of the holidays.”
“That sounds like fun,” she said wistfully. She had no idea what it would be like having that many people around while growing up. She thought about her quiet upbringing, and guessed that Adam’s would have been completely different.
“It was, but look at how well you turned out. I’m sure yours was good too.”
She turned to him, grateful for his attempts to set her at ease. “Thank you.” She rose on tiptoe to peck him on the cheek. “Okay, I’m going to get changed, and we can go pretend like we’re in the islands.”
Adam smiled at her then indicated the hallway off the living room. “You can change in the bedroom or the bathroom, up to you.” He snorted self-deprecatingly. “I’d give you the grand tour, but it’s hard to get lost in an apartment this small.”
“It’s very nice, even if it’s not big,” she said truthfully. “Sometimes I wish I was in one more this size again, especially on cleaning days. But I bought it mostly for the proximity to the beach, that and the fact my co-worker had the inside scoop on how low the seller would go. Ex-boyfriend,” she explained.
“That was nice of her.”
“Him, actually.” Tori laughed at
