She tried to answer him between the panting. “I - can’t - fight it - much longer.” Then she felt him pull out and flip her as quick as he did the first time. Before she could look up at his eyes, he entered her again almost as if he was teasing her. “Oh God - ” She reached her arms around him as she pulled him down on top of her looking at his face. She needed to know how she made him feel and she hoped he saw how much she wanted him.
He looked at her face and in her sea blue eyes. At that moment he knew she wanted him as much as he wanted her. He leaned down devouring her mouth with his, plunging his tongue deep before he eased it out and laid his head against hers. They held onto each other as he rocked into her, feeling her body meet every rhythm of his.
Mindy couldn’t hold off any more. His last deep push sent her into orgasm heaven as her body tingled from head to toe over and over and over before she arched her back into him bringing him the same pleasure that he brought her. She held onto him as he rocked through every bit of it. She slowly laid back tipping her head while she enjoyed the sensations still shooting through her when he collapsed on top of her as she went limp.
He laid still a minute then rolled off of her so she could breath and cool off. He went to the bathroom to discard the condom before climbing next to her. They both laid there catching their breath. He needed to be close to Mindy so he slid his left arm under her neck grabbing her left shoulder and pulling her against his side. As she rolled into him, she laid her left leg over his and put her left arm and hand on his damp chest looking up towards his face. He looked at her and leaned down to give her a soft kiss before laying back just enough so his head was able to lay against hers. Brandon felt so complete holding her. He wasn’t ready to break the closeness they were feeling so they both laid there in a state of bliss.
Chapter 10
Mindy jumped in the shower for a quick wash before leaving. Her and Brandon showered together last night after a few hours of the greatest, most passionate sex she’s ever had. She used to think Chase was the best lover but she was so wrong. Brandon brought everyone of her senses to a whole new level she didn’t realize existed. Heavenly . . . was all she could think. There were no other words.
Brandon tried to help Mindy wash some of the sweat from her body but the contact made them both want each other again. After making love twice in the shower, she soaped her hands and rubbed them over every part of his perfectly fit body before they laid in his bed and snuggled.
Mindy was awakened sometime in the wee hours of the morning to lips and a tongue making it’s way down her side to her hip then across her abdomen. He kissed her delicate skin at the base of her abdomen. She heard him unwrapping a condom and before she knew it, he was making love to her again. She was fully awake at that point and fighting the orgasm that was inevitable. She tried to hold back but was so sensitive from hours of lovemaking that she lost control way too easy.
She had a hard time moving since her body still quivered from the after-shocks as he kissed her on the lips and got up. She pulled his pillow next to her and cuddled to it as her heat throbbed from the excitement. She heard him in the bathroom but drifted off to sleep before he crawled back in bed. When she woke up just before dawn, his body had replaced the pillow she was holding onto and he was fast asleep.
She tried to ease out of his arms so he could sleep. Gently climbing out of bed, she headed to the bathroom with her clothes and small purse in her hands. She freshened up a bit, put her clothes on, gargled with her mouthwash and walked out of his bathroom into a brick wall.
A gorgeous hunk of a man stood blocking her from walking any further. Swooping his arms around her waist, Brandon pulled her into his naked body. “I was afraid you left without saying goodbye.”
Mindy smiled up at him feeling a blush coming on as she felt his arousal building. She put her arms around him enjoying the smile on his face. “I wouldn’t do that to you. - I was just about to crawl on the bed, give you a nice warm kiss and tell you I’d see you at breakfast.”
Giving her that cheshire cat smile, he leaned down to give her a quick kiss on the lips. “I was hoping for breakfast in bed - if you know what I mean.” He let out a soft, sexy laugh as his hands slid down her dress lifting it up to expose her cheeks while his hands started massaging them wantingly.
She wanted nothing more than to climb back in bed with Brandon but knew they had the day planned out with two other people. “Sweetheart - if it was just me and you involved in the plans for the day, I’d race you over to the bed for a day of passion.”
Brandon pulled his head back slightly and his mouth straightened as he looked behind him at the clock next to the bed. “Oh shit! I didn’t realize the time. We’re supposed to meet Stephen and Faith for breakfast at 8:30 for our last day of fun together. - The week has gone by much too fast. I can’t believe you girls have to leave tomorrow.” He released his hold on her as they walked into the bedroom. She could tell he felt some sadness at the thought of her leaving, as did she. “Hey . . . “ He grabbed his boxer briefs and put them on before looking at her. Reaching out to grab both of his hands and holding onto them, she continued. “We still have all day and all night - and even breakfast tomorrow before we leave. We’ll make every minute count, OK?”
He put that sexy smile back on and pulled her into him. “We definitely will Babe. We’ll all have another memorable day on the island together. I’m looking forward to it.” He leaned down and kissed her deep and with meaning. This will never get old he thought, at least if he has anything to say about it.
Relaxing his hold on her, Brandon dropped his arms as she did the same. He held her hands looking at her eyes. “I’ll shower again, get dressed and get ready for our fun filled day. We’ll meet in the restaurant at 8:30 then.” He walked her to the door to let her go do the same.
He opened the door and she started to walk into the hallway. “Hey Mindy - last night was one of the best parts of this vacation. I loved every second of it. - Thanks for staying with me.”
Mindy stood in front of him and put her hands on his chest, looking deep in his soul. “It couldn’t have been a more perfect evening.” She leaned into him reaching up as he leaned down to claim her lips once again before pulling back. “See you in a bit.” And she walked down the hall to the exit as he watched.

Faith tried to wake up from her late night at the sports bar with Stephen. She heard Mindy cut off the shower and knew she better get moving or they’d be late for breakfast and their busy, fun filled day with the guys. She couldn’t believe it was their last day in Maui. They’ve had so much fun making a lifetime of memories in one week.
She showered and dried her hair last night because she was afraid she’d be a bit tired this morning. Now she was glad she did as her energy was slow to come while she looked through her clothes to find a nice sun dress to wear shopping and site seeing in Lahaina.
When she was getting dressed, Mindy came out of the bathroom with her robe on and her hair wrapped in a towel. Her best friend obviously had a great night with Brandon because the smile wasn’t leaving her face. “Does your face hurt Min?”
Looking at Faith with a puzzled look. “Excuse me?” Mindy wrinkled her eyebrows.
“Holding onto that smile for so long must hurt your facial muscles.” Faith winked at her and laughed grabbing a brush from the counter as Mindy shook her head.
“Ha-ha. - Heavenly is the only word that describes my evening with Brandon. He is definitely the perfect package. Gorgeous from head to toe and inside as well, all the way to his soul.” She continued smiling as she put on a floral print knee length flowy skirt with a white crepe off the shoulder top tucked in the waistband.
“So he’s great in the sack too, huh? You never know if a guys looks are just to make you think they’ve got it all going on, only to let you down when it comes to sex.” She laughed at the smile that returned to Mindy’s face.
“Oh honey - I used to think Chase was so good in
bed but Brandon blew that theory completely out of this world! This man drove me to the stars and beyond in ways you can’t even imagine.” She laughed remembering every orgasm that rocked her to the core.
“Hey, hey - TMI my friend! “ Faith wagged her finger at her. “But I’m thrilled he out-did that loser, Chase. But we don’t want to ruin your mood by mentioning him.” She leaned down to buckle her sandals.
Mindy picked up the hair dryer to get some of the moisture out of her hair but before she turned it on, she had to tell Faith the truth. “Oh - so I spoke to Chase last night before I went to Brandon’s room.” She turned on the dryer to drown out any yelling Faith was about to embark on her.
Her eyes popped wide open as she stood up heading to the vanity where Mindy was drying her hair. She looked in the mirror at her before grabbing the dryer out of her hand and shutting it off. “What the heck Mindy?!!”
Mindy turned to look at her. “It was only on the phone. Not in person. - Though he tried to get me to meet him for coffee or dinner but I told him no.” She put her hand out for the hair dryer.
“Why did you even call him? And - and how did you get his number?!” Her voice was elevating with each sentence.
Mindy walked over to the desk and grabbed the white piece of folded up paper with Chase’s number written on it handing it to Faith. He gave this to me that day on the boat when I was about to walk off after Brandon.”
Faith shook her head and plopped down on the edge of the bed before looking at Mindy. She wanted to see how she seemed after talking to him again. Any thoughts of him usually brought back some of the pain he’d left her with, even after two years of him disappearing from her life.
She stared deep in her eyes looking for that look she’s seen on Mindy’s face too many times. But - it wasn’t there. There was no sign of any more pain in her soul. Faith thought she even saw a sparkle in her eyes. Something she hasn’t seen in a very long time.
“I called him because I had to close that chapter of my life before I could try to have any kind of relationship with another man. - Brandon asked me at dinner who he was. He knew there was something more between us so I told him the truth. I wasn’t going to hide behind Chase any longer. I couldn’t let him have that power over me.”
She walked over to the bed and sat next to Faith. “Thankfully Brandon understood what I needed to do and encouraged me. He said he’d be there if I needed him and he went back to his room. - I gathered my thoughts on how I wanted to handle the conversation then called Chase. He was happy but surprised I called, which made me laugh inside. He didn’t think I would call him. I asked what I needed to know - what happened and why he emotionally checked out that night.” Faith turned more towards Mindy waiting to hear the rest. “And basically a woman he had dated a few years before moving to Florida had been in touch with him off and on that last week we dated. She told him he was a father and he was freaking out between that and his unresolved feelings for this woman. - He knew he didn’t handle things good at all and apologized. And once I realized that he wasn’t the man I thought he was when I fell in love with him, a weight was lifted from my heart.”
She held her friend’s hand when she continued. “After I told him I had to go, I sat there for a minute trying to deal with how I was feeling about what happened and his answers to my questions. But I only felt relief - and it felt so freeing! I no longer hurt when I thought of him. I started smiling and it was a really good feeling. So I got off the couch, freshened up and text Brandon that I’d be there in a bit. And it was the best decision of my life.”
They both stood up and Faith hugged her so tight. “I’m so happy for you Mindy. And I’m sorry for yelling at you because you obviously made the right move. - Brandon is a great guy. I’m glad you’ve opened yourself up to dating again.”

Mindy had text Brandon to let him know they’d be a few minutes late so him and Stephen got a table on the lanai before it got too busy. When they arrived, Mindy told the hostess their party had already been seated but she knew and showed them where the men were sitting.
Faith walked around the right side to sit by Stephen as a smile brightened her face. He stood and pulled her chair out for her as he whispered ‘good morning’ in her ear. They noticed how Mindy and Brandon’s eyes lit up and the huge grin that took over their faces when they saw each other. He stood and pulled her chair out. She smiled up at him giving him a coy look. Taking advantage of her head tilting upward, he put a firm kiss on her luscious lips. He’d been wanting to do that again since she left his room that morning.
After witnessing the PDA between them, Stephen looked at both with a happy grin. He knew this was good for his friend. It would definitely keep his mind off work. “Good morning Mindy.”
“Hi Stephen.” She smiled back at him just as the waitress poured her coffee then Faith’s.
They all decided to do the buffet so they went and got their food before sitting down to enjoy breakfast and each others company. They talked about the game Stephen and Faith watched last night and how the staff at the sports bar were getting to know their names since they’d been there a few times already. Mindy and Brandon told them about the awesome views from the restaurant they ate at and how good the food was.
Stephen insisted on paying for breakfast so Brandon said he’d get the rental car and meet everyone in the roundabout in front of the hotel in fifteen minutes. Jacques was using his car so Brandon rented one. Luckily the hotel kept a small fleet of cars so he didn’t have far to go. Mindy and Faith made a quick trip to the ladies room in the restaurant before they all went to meet Brandon.
Brandon pulled in front of the hotel in a royal blue Lexus convertible with the top down. They all walked over to the car with a big smile as he got out, walked around to the other side and opened the passenger door. “Will this do?” He smiled back at them.
Stephen reached out to shake hands with Brandon pulling him in for a bro-hug patting his back. “Way to go man! Cool car.” He let go of his hand and waved his arm across in front of him for Faith to climb in first as he followed and pulled the seat back for Mindy to sit in the front.
Mindy climbed in putting her purse on the floor and fastening her seat belt. Brandon walked to the driver’s side, got in and buckled up as well. “Hold onto your hats and hair ladies and gentlemen, her we go!” And he pushed the gas pedal almost to the floor as the car sped out of the driveway towards the main road.
They enjoyed the scenery on the way to Lahaina. Brandon and Stephen brought their attention to points of interest and some Hawaiian history along the way. He also told them some facts about Maui and how it’s the second largest Hawaiian island nicknamed the ‘Valley Isle’ with a population around 150,000, last he knew.
Driving down the main road into town, the ocean was on the left and both sides of the road were lined with restaurants, pubs, clothing stores and local pop up stores. There was even a camera store on one corner and a local museum. The entire area was rich with tropical vegetation native to Hawaii bringing natural charm to the town. Brandon parked behind the museum to help them remember where the car was at when they got ready to leave.
When Brandon got out, he pulled his seat forward for Faith to get out then walked to the other side as Stephen was getting out after Mindy did. He put the top up, pushed the alarm button locking the car then reached out and grabbed Mindy’s hand as they began walking to the sidewalk out front. It felt so natural to him, walking hand in hand with her.
Walking in and out of most of the shops for several blocks, they looked at the local crafts and wares admiring the talent of some of the creators. Mindy and Faith looked at different stores for a dress to wear for the luau tonight at the resort. The last store they went in, before finding a place for lunch, had the perfect dress for both of them. They were so excited with their choice and looked forward to wearing it to dinner.
They stopped at a restaurant near the Wharf along the water to have lunch. After looki
ng over the menu, Mindy ordered Seared Cajun Ahi Caesar Salad while Brandon ordered Pork Ribs. Faith and Stephen both decided on the Shoyu Chicken. Enjoying the view of the water, they chatted about the island and their favorite things so far until their food came.
Faith told the waitress on a trip to the bathroom to give her the bill. Of course the guys objected when she used her credit card but her and Mindy wouldn’t have it any other way.
On the way back to the car down the opposite side of the road, they popped in some of the stores to see if they had anything unique. Mindy found the sweetest looking Hawaiian porcelain doll of a young girl. She was about ten inches tall with a blue floral print off the shoulder dress, a pink lei around her neck and beautiful long black hair that came down to her hips with bangs hitting just above her eyebrows. She was held up by a white stand with her bare toes just touching the ground. Mindy wanted a souvenir and thought she was too cute to pass up.
Before heading back to the hotel, they decided to tour the local museum. The staff was so nice and very knowledgeable of local history. After an hour of viewing artifacts, listening to a few speakers and walking through the gift shop, they headed to the car for their trip back to the resort.

“Faith, what do you think? Do I look alright?” Mindy was wearing a white maxi dress with spaghetti straps, fitted at the waist, with a red, yellow and green floral print with a ruffle around the top and a slit ending just above the knee. She had on beige colored wedge sandals and several Alex and Ani bracelets lining her left wrist.
“Seriously Min, when don’t you look good?! If your job as an interior designer doesn’t work out, you could be a personal stylist. - How do I look?”
Mindy brought her attention to Faith, looking over her hair, makeup, dress and shoes. Faith was wearing a navy blue floral print maxi dress with cream and rose colored flowers covering a drawstring, halter bodice with an elastic waist and a slit down each side. She had on rose colored sandals with a medium heel. “Perfectly put together and very pretty!” She smiled at her friend.
