[Bonus chapter]

Nicholas's POV:

I found Talia by the pool, lounging with a book under one of the umbrellas. Her slim legs were crossed at the ankles, and she was wearing a strapless white bikini, her golden skin gleaming with droplets of water.

She must've been swimming recently.

Hearing my footsteps, she sat up and placed her book on a side table. "Hi," she said softly when I approached her lounge chair. Her sunglasses were too big for her small face, making her look a bit like a dragonfly, and I made a mental note to buy her more accessories before we get back to the Island. 

"Hello, my love," I murmured, sitting down on her chair. Raising my hand, I pulled the sunglasses off her nose and leaned forward to take her mouth in a short, deep kiss. She tasted like sunlight, her lips soft and yielding, and my cock instantly stiffened, reacting to the proximity of her almost-naked body. Tonight, I promised myself as I reluctantly lift my head. I will have her again tonight.
