"You wreck me, too," I whisper

The Caldwell and Burnham clans make quite the entrance to Parrot's, the outdoor beach bar that sits just off theSteel drum music beats low and the sun is dipped halfway into the water, throwing orange and pink sparkles everywhere

Flynn holds my hand the entire time, and introduces htly rubbing through the cotton material of my dress My mind

keeps flitting back to the carnality we just enjoyed in our roo ure out what other dirty things Flynn can do to me

But we must socialize first

First up is E with their six- they had heard all about me from Emily I'm not sure what to s

Danny is interesting She's one of those people that you just have an instant connection with While both Ryan and Danny giveupon introduction, when Danny wraps her arms around me, I feel an instant trust with her It's freakin' weird and I' to know her to find out why that is About the only other person I've ever felt that way before ith Flynn, and even then, I was distrustful I supposethat not everyone is out to hurtme up to other people

I' Emily and Ryan's parents Flynn has filledan honest to God US Congressressht--is thinking about running for President, and that thought alone hasout into a slimy sweat Which is completely ahen he holds his hand out to h and then I watch as Celia Burnhahter away froives her up, only to step into her husband's embrace and lay her head on his massive chest

Yup Ryan Burnham is a hottie

Next up is Flynn's cousin, Linc, and his girlfriend, Ever Again, no doubt that Linc and Flynn are related, and they could easily pass as brothers which puts hiory Ever is ethereally beautiful with the loveliest and widest blue eyes I've ever seen on a hu about you

Linc and Flynn are the closest in age of the Caldwell clan and are very close Flynn talks to Linc by phone or text ale at the apartaers and Ryan, but he pulls for the Coyotes now that Linc is playing there I' to change

As we're talking to Linc and Ever, we hear a screahting up in a smile A red-haired woman across the bar has her eyes locked with Flynn's, and then she's running to him She jumps up and he catches her soundly as she wraps her arht and it only took the flame hair for me to know this was Renner

Walking up behind her with a suess is Cillian He's the only one thu his nose at the tropics as he wears a pair of black jeans, a black t-shirt with his band's logo, and a chain hanging from his back pocket, extended over to clip to a front belt loop He has two shiny, silver hoops stuck in his bottom lip and yeah he's a panty dropper

So this is the lead singer of Over The Edge? Flynn introducedafter I moved in, and we play it quite frequently around the aparth I doubt Flynn would ever adreatest of starts

Flynn releases Renner and I watch as Cillian extends his hand to Flynn, who doesn't hesitate and shakes it But they quickly release and then Flynn pulls Renner in for another hug While he does so, Cillian turns to me

"You must be Rowan I'm Cillian" He holds his hand out and I shake it

"Nice to ain a bit overwhel today Hress unusual about this day

Flynn releases Renner again and pulls me to his side "Ren this is Rowan"

Renner grabs et whiplash She babbles in lad to meet you Flynn talks about you all the ti irl that hasbro all worked up"

I blush over those words but I' to know that Flynn has feelings for me, because I see it in his eyes the way he talks to me, and now the way he touchesfor s about me with others It humblesto understand that Flynn one off the deep end where I'm concerned

Me? I feel like I've stepped over the edge, but lashed out and grabbed ahold of a rocky ledge, with o and take the plunge I wonder if I'll ever really trust and just do it just let go?

Pulling back, I s irlfriend Let's drink so coconutty and bond"

I glance back at Flynn and he's laughing atso powerful, it htens me, and I have to wonder which emotion I'll ultimately let overtake me
