His eyes rake over me for a moment before he takes a step away and sips his water.

“You’re a shit liar, you know that? Your nostrils flare when you lie. Happened in the game too. My guess, that story you told was a bunch of shit. I mean, you definitely don’t look the type to have men clambering to get in bed with you.”

Hurt stings inside me at his words, but I try not to show it.

“Well, you’re the one that was just talking about bending me over,” I point out.

His lips twitch into a smirk as his eyes bore into mine. “That was called acting, Court. Maybe you need a few lessons.”

With that, he’s gone, sauntering off towards a group of girls who immediately abandon the guys they were chatting with to shower him with attention.

What the actual fuck?

I’m raging. Who the fuck does that guy think he is? He can’t just talk to me like that. It’s not like his opinion means shit to me, but to be so brazen, so harsh? Fuck him. Not literally. I don’t want to fuck him.

Right.

Yeah, no. Absolutely not.

Shit, I need to get laid. By literally anyone.

As long as it’s not Landon.

My gaze roams around the area, and though it’s only day one, I can categorize almost every person into a friend or enemy. Not that I came here to make either, but it’s very apparent that some are destined to be on one side or another, and Mr. Fuckboy Landon gets to claim the top spot on the enemy list.

Chapter Six

Noah

Ididn’t know what to expect when coming here, but whatever I was expecting, it’s been blown out of the water. This place is a dream. The guys are chill, and the women? Fuck. The challenges are going to be easy compared to trying to not have a boner all day. I can’t deny I’m already locked on to one woman in particular, though.Courtney… my God, I don’t think I’ve ever seen an ass move like that before. I have to actively try to not get hypnotized when I walk behind her. And the best part? Her personality is even better than her ass. Well, they’re tied.

“How was your night?” Landon asks as he climbs up into the top bunk and flops down.

When I woke up on the beach, he was in the chair next to me, shaking the brain fog away himself. He’s definitely surly, and I don’t see him lasting long here if the goal is to fall in love, but as bunkmates, I can’t complain.

“Great. I can’t believe this place is real. You have a good night?”

“Mhmm,” he mutters, almost like he’d rather be anywhere but here.

Don’t get me wrong, I’ve been to some gorgeous resorts, hotels and villas in my life. My family owns several vacation homes around the world. Those are so different, though. Those places ooze class and elegance. A sort of refinement. This place… it’s like a playground for adults. Somewhere we can party, live it up and have hot sex in fifty-seven different spots. Oh, and find love of course.

“Got your eye on anyone special?” I ask casually, though I’ll admit, I’m absolutely fishing.

I was pulled in about a hundred directions after my chat with Courtney. I was flattered. I mean, what man wouldn’t want half a dozen women vying for his attention? Still, all the batting eyelashes and risqué outfits couldn’t fully pull my attention away from her. Then when I saw her and Landon talking by the bar… it definitely sparked something inside me that I’m pretty sure I didn’t like.

“Nah,” Landon responds.

Okay…

“I’m not interested in Courtney if that’s what you’re getting at,” he tacks on.

I try to play it cool and shrug him off, but he beats me to it before facing the ceiling once more.

“You don’t need to bullshit me. If you want to claim her, just do it. If she’s what you’re into.”

“Why do you say it like that?” I ask curiously.

He opens his mouth like he’s going to speak before he shakes his head and closes his eyes. Can’t lie, I’m curious why he feels that way, but I’ll take it. It’s clear that Courtney is a lot different to the other women. The rest of them are all gorgeous, manicured to perfection, no doubt about it. Courtney, though, she’s that natural beauty. The girl next door but with something… else. She’s the kind of beautiful that takes you by surprise, and keeps you entranced from the moment your eyes meet and on your knees in the next moment.
