to worry about that shit.
    The noise level drops a few decibels when the band finishes their last song and announces a short break.
    Laney plops my beer down in front of me and huffs. “Crowd’s slow tonight. Tips are gonna suck.”
    “Is that a hint?”
    My smirk grows to a grin as I hand her the money. Laney laughs and winks before walking away. I shake my head and leave extra cash on the bar. Damn vixen. She knows how to work it.
    “Come on, bro. Let’s go be Lihue’s personal tour guides.” Kamp runs his hands along his torso. “Let the exploration begin.”
    “Dude, seriously? Just‌…‌stop.”
    Kamp laughs and slaps my back. “Come on.”
    “You’re not leaving yet, are you?” a smooth voice says behind me.
    Internally, I cringe. I know that voice well. I know every pitch that voice makes‌—‌especially when it’s moaning underneath me.
    “Bethany,” I say.
    I sneak a quick glance at the blondes. The girl on the end crosses her legs. Her skirt rides higher, revealing her long, silky-smooth skin. I sigh. Different flavor is not an option tonight. Kamp groans and plops beside me when I turn to face Beth. He never hides his disdain for her, but Beth and I ignore him.
    “Nah, we’re not going anywhere.” My gaze drops to the deep V-cut shirt that’s not leaving much to the imagination. Of course, every inch of that body has been seared into memory. “I thought you were staying in?”
    I force myself to look at her face and then stop myself from wincing. Her lips are pressed into a tight thin line as she stares past me. She must’ve noticed the girls.
    “I can’t let you get into trouble…” Her gaze cuts back to mine. “Now can I?”
    Bethany sits at the neighboring barstool. She has no right to say anything about who I pursue. She knows the score. We’re just a hookup. Beth knows there will never be anything serious between us.
    “Now what fun would that be?” I run my hand along her thigh, just stopping short of the skirt’s hemline. “Or are we making our own trouble?”
    Bethany shivers under my touch, and I chuckle which earns a slap on my shoulder.
    “Ass,” she says with a laugh.
    “I’m going in,” Kamp says. “By myself, apparently.”
    I tilt my head to him and nod. Despite his dislike for Bethany, Kamp knows once she shows up; I’m out. He glides over to the two girls, and I force my attention back to Beth.
    “So, whatcha’ have in mind?” I ask.
    A slow grin crosses her mouth as her eyes darken. “I have a few ideas.”
    A low guttural growl escapes, and I rise, grabbing her hand. Full bottle of beer forgotten, I release my hand from hers and place it on her back to guide her toward the door. Yeah, not settling down yet.
    I walk past Kamp and shake my head at the girls’ giggles. Those cheesy lines always seem to work somehow. Maybe he’ll get lucky with one or even both tonight. Who knows?
    The sea breeze welcomes us as we step outside. Bethany turns toward me and smiles. “Your place or mine?”
    I stare at her for a moment. A twinge of guilt seeps into my conscience, and I contemplate going home alone. But this is the arrangement we devised a few years back‌—‌a friends with benefits sort of thing, even though we’re more like acquaintances. We never do anything together except have sex.
    Beth raises an eyebrow and gives me a look.
    “Yours,” I say.

    Today’s the day I break out my wicked kayak skills on the Wailua River. Ha. I’ve never been kayaking before, but this goal I’m so accomplishing.
    “Mom, today is going to be so incredible,” I say, beelining to the car.
    “I knew you were excited to do this, which is one reason I slated it for the first day.” Mom loads our towels, along with her camera, into the back seat of the rental as I jump in the passenger seat, holding our lunch sacks.
    “I’m so excited for the secret waterfall,” I say, slipping on my sunglasses. The waterfall is only accessible by
