Lost in Paradise (Paradise Club #2)(35)

“You’re a fucking dick, you know that?” I curse at him.

“I’m your brother, I’m looking out for you.”

“So, this little trip down memory lane is purely for my welfare, is it? Your way of saying that Ivy is no good for me?” I question him.

“No, I’m not saying that. I’m only looking out for you, that’s all.”

“I get that. And what about you? Do you think Camryn is here for the right reasons? Should I be concerned about you? Because you’ve always been so strict on never mixing business and pleasure, and yet here you are, doing just that.”

“She’s different. Camryn’s not looking for anything more than fun,” he states, glaring at me.

“She’s a woman … are you sure?” I say, poking him.

He turns his head and rolls his eyes not looking impressed.

“Camryn’s different, okay?” is all he says to me.

I can see it on his face as he looks over at her talking to Ivy in the kitchen that he likes her. Really likes her. And his head and heart are fighting against each other.

“Come on, I think we’ve gossiped enough. Let’s join these beautiful women and have a great night,” I say, slapping my brother on the back.

IVY





“What the fuck! They know Pierre?” Camryn hisses out as she drags me into the kitchen under the guise of getting a drink.

“I know … small world, hey?” I chuckle because it damn well is. How crazy is it that our stepfather, and my mentor, created this fantasyland we are staying in? I knew there was a reason why I loved everything here—it’s because they hired the best of the best. “Why are you freaking out?” I ask as I frown at my sister’s reaction.

“Oh, I don’t know,” she says angrily.

“You like Nate, don’t you?” I question.

“No,” she answers quickly, which makes me laugh. “We’re having fun. Hello, we’re on a sex island.”

“You can still like someone and have fun on a sex island,” I reply.

“Is that so?” she questions.

“I know that tone, Cam,” I warn her, but my sister gives me a smirk while grabbing drinks from the beverage refrigerator.

“What? It’s not my fault I want all the goss.” She turns and places a bottle of champagne on the kitchen counter before turning again and grabbing some glasses from the cabinet and placing them on the stone countertop.

“What do you want to know?” I ask.

There’s no point in messing about with her. She’s going to push and push until I eventually tell her everything anyway.

“Well, that was a lot easier than I thought it was going to be.” Camryn smiles as she removes the cork of the champagne bottle, the loud pop echoing through the villa as she pours the delicious bubbly liquid. Camryn hands me a glass, and we clink them together before taking a sip. Then she looks at me expectantly waiting for me to spill all my news.

“Well, as you know, I’ve been having fun with my host, Granger, and this morning I had my first threesome.”

My sister does a silly dance in excitement over my news before asking, “Does Alex know?”

“Yes, I’ve been honest with him from the first night. He’s been encouraging me to explore everything the island has to offer. He keeps telling me he’s not going anywhere.”

“Aw, that’s cute,” Camryn says.

“Isn’t it weird?”

“His brother owns a sex resort. He has to be open-minded,” Camryn explains.

Maybe she’s right. He’s been exposed to this way of life and is a little more open sexually.

“Alex said while on the island to explore everything it has to offer and that he would be waiting for me afterward. So, I am. I’m enjoying it all. Little weird pushing myself out of my comfort zone, but I’m glad I have because I’m having so much fun,” I confess to my sister.

“This makes me so happy, Ivy,” Camryn says, pulling me in for a hug. “I’m so proud of you. I know it’s a weird thing to say, but after everything you’ve been through, I’m relieved that fuck face hasn’t destroyed you.” My eyes well up upon hearing my sister’s words. “You deserve the world, babe. You deserve a man to love you for you, not for the image they think you should be.” She leans in and hugs me tightly.

I let out a heavy sigh as I hug her back. “I can feel myself changing just from being here.”

“Is that good or bad?” Camryn asks with a frown on her face.

“Good,” I declare with a smile. “I’m starting to feel confident in my own skin for the first time in … well, my entire life.”

“Good dick will do that,” my sister jokes. The comment makes me roll my eyes as I take a sip of my drink. “Alex has a good dick, doesn’t he? I mean, Nate has a glorious one, and as Alex is his brother, I’m assuming they’re made the same.”

I choke and splutter on my drink at my sister’s comment. “Cam,” I hiss at her.

“Come on, you know I’m right?” She chuckles. “I know the hosts here have great dicks, so I’m assuming as you are sleeping with him and Alex that it’s just as good.”
