Once they had returned the jet skis and gotten their belongings from the lockers, Joanna checked her phone, finding a text from Giuliano. Nisrine had received a similar text from Kyle, telling them that they had rented a boat and they would love for Nisrine and Joanna to grab lunch with them. Preferring calls over texts, Joanna immediately dialled Giuliano's number to get more details.

'Hey, did you get my text,' Giuliano asked as he picked up the phone.

'Yes, are you still docked? We just returned the jet skis.'

'Yeah, we were waiting for you. You know where the boats are right?'

'I think so, I'll call you if we don't find it.'

'Okay, bisous.'

'Bisous.'

They found the boat with ease, it was the boat with the loudest music and the most ruckus. It was a midsized yacht, big enough that a substantial group could have their own space on the boat, but it still felt intimate. Nisrine and Joanna were greeted by a tall brunette who helped them onto the boat.

'I'm happy Kyle and Jules made us wait for you,' he said as he helped Joanna across the long swim platform. 'I'm Emile.'

'Joanna. We're you waiting for long,' Joanna asked, using her focus to not fall into the water.

'A bit more than an hour, but we had fun and you guys were more than worth the wait.'

'Did you ask other girls on the boat,' Nisrine asked in front of them, trying to find Kyle from where they were standing.

'No, just you two. They said you know each other.' Joanna laughed at her friend's noticeable relief, she was smitten with that boy.

Once they were on the boat, Nisrine and Joanna found the group on the couches on the deck. Giuliano pulled her down against him after she greeted the other guys, wrapping his leg around her hips to pin her down. His arms snaked around her torso as he dropped light kisses all over the left side of her face.

'I'm not letting you leave my side ever again,' Giuliano groaned against her ear before burying his nose in her hair.

'Those three hours without me were that bad,' Joanna asked, grinning from ear to ear as Giuliano pressed her tighter against him.

'They really were.' Joanna heard the smile in his voice. 'You smell fantastic. You look fantastic. I need to take a good look at you when you get up.'

'You like my cover-up?' Giuliano mumbled a little uhu in her ear, knowing that more than her cover-up, what he really liked was her body. Apart from covering her bikini bottom completely, her cover-up left the entire right side of her body bare, exposing the orange triangle that covered her lush boobs.

At her majestic six foot, Giuliano hadn't met many women with comparable measurements. Joanna appeared to be average height although she was very tall, she was slender but still had the lower body of a stallion. Watching her long leg peek from under the white fabric of her cover-up as she crossed the deck had made Giuliano realise his type was Joanna. She had always defined his type.

Any and all women he came across were measured against Joanna. The bronze, deep skin. The height. The pear-shaped body. The curls that always made their way out of her bun. The faint stretch marks on her boobs. From head to toe, she set his standard. Before Joanna's boobs grew in, Giuliano had preferred flatter chests. When she had short hair, the girls he dated too, had short hair.

'I love your cover-up. I love your tan lines. I like your bikini, can't wait to see the bottom,' he murmured against her ear. Giuliano heard the others get up to grab drinks, but he stayed put, nestling them deeper into the grey couch. 'I like your stomach, and those fucking waist beads,' he said, running his hand across the stack of beads around her stomach.

'I can show you now,' Joanna said softly, her hand grazing over the back of his thigh.

'I know, but I'm not ready to stop holding you.' Giuliano leaned his head back against the top of the couch, finally opening his eyes. 'Are you comfortable, we're going to stay like this for a while.'

'We can go cuddle in a bedroom, I think we might get water on us here, when the boat starts moving.'

'True,' Giuliano sighed, releasing her from his hold. Joanna got up, swaying as she got to her feet and the boat started moving. 'You really don't need to get me in a compromising position to shield us from the water, you know,' he said as his hand shot out to stabilise her.

'Jules,' Joanna moaned seeing his eyes linger on her hips. It was difficult enough for her to keep herself from kissing him when he didn't look like all he wanted to do was get her naked. Hearing her voice, Giuliano scraped his voice before meeting her eyes. Giuliano grabbed her hand as he stood, lifting it above her head to make her twirl for him.

'Stunning,' he actually breathed in awe, making Joanna giggle and blush as he lowered his arm to wrap it around her shoulders. He gave her a kiss on her temple before leading them down the stairs behind the couch to the lower deck.

Giuliano opened the glass door to a bedroom, moving the curtains and allowing her to walk in. Hearing him close the door behind her, Joanna turned around and wrapped her arms around his neck in an attempt to lessen the distance between their faces. His hands automatically found the small of her back, stroking her bare skin and sending shivers down her spine.

'Give me one good reason to not kiss you.' Joanna stood on her tiptoes, tilting her head back to have a better view of his face, not finding any aversion on his perfect features. Giuliano lowered his eyes to her lips and Joanna saw the wheels in his head starting to turn.
