It was what they had both feared would happen.
She had mentioned to him before they left. The people in her homeland were different than in America. They were very sexual. Very aggressive, yet very seductive. When Mari became separated from Craig neither of them were too surprised. Just recently they had declared their relationship to be sexually open. But despite their willingness, the situation threw them both into a flurry of confusion, leaving Craig stuck at the bar while Mari was pulled into the crowd. Her heart rushed and her blood pumped as she was forced past the many bodies of partying islanders.
Before long, she had broken free of the crowd, and she saw the face that belonged to the hand that had pulled her away. She smiled when she saw that it was Palo. Before leaving the island, Palo and she had been best friends. Of course, they were only 10, but upon Craig and her arrival, she immediately reconnected with the very handsome young man. He was a wealthy, well-respected bachelor β the entire island viewed him as a role model. Her local family members considered him to be her soul mate. Although she was trying to keep her commitment with Craig serious, she couldn't help but entertain her family's thoughts. Her relationship had been dwindling for weeks, hence their agreement. Though in her heart she considered herself true to her boyfriend, the heat between her legs was strong enough to put their relationship to the test. To make herself feel better, she pictured Craig with some of the beautiful island girls.
