them would benefit from him pulling her pants down in front of everyone and beating her raw before he fucked her at this point. That’s the kind of punishment she had coming and it couldn’t be delivered in anger.  
    “Look Dex, I know you want to straighten things out with Bonnie, but I also recognize when two people need some time. What’s a few days going to hurt?”
    “Yeah, I guess it couldn’t hurt. My ink appointments can probably be rescheduled.”
    Gabe smiled. “Awesome. I really appreciate it man. I’m going to owe you one for this.”
    Dex fastened a hard glare onto his friend. “Yes, you will.”

Chapter Five

    Bonnie squinted against the sun reflecting off the water and took in her new surroundings. Except after two flights over many hours she could think of little else, other than a long soak in a really hot bath. The soreness she'd expected from her scene with Dex had already set in and everything ached. Which normally wasn't a bad thing, when she was at home nursing her body and reveling in the memories. However, jet-setting across several states and now out into the middle of the ocean was a completely different experience. The private jet had been pleasant enough and thankfully no one bothered her, so she didn't have to share the fact that she'd been scared half to death. Before last night, she'd never been on a plane before.
    The kind flight attendant had checked on her several times and even suggested she lay her seat back and try to get some sleep. But Bonnie couldn't sleep with thoughts of the plane plunging her to an early death constantly on her mind. She had however accepted several glasses of champagne and that had calmed her nerves, until she'd hopped aboard the puddle jumper that was to take her out to the island of Eden. Between her fear and the surreal fact she was headed to some fancy place, Bonnie's head was still spinning.
    Off in the distance, a mountain rose and she could make out the silhouette of a grand castle. She had no idea what else to call something so big. Lush trees and flowers dotted the horizon and a gorgeous white sand beach that made her rethink her position about not liking beaches to the point she wanted to go for a walk barefoot.  
    Instead, she grabbed the luggage she'd been surprised to find aboard the jet and started down the long, wooden dock.
    "You can leave your luggage here and someone will bring it to your room for you, ma'am." The extra chatty female pilot whom Bonnie had tuned out more than an hour ago smiled at her. "Here at Eden, there's pretty much someone to do anything for you that you can think of."
    Bonnie looked down at the matching dark purple cases and considered leaving them behind. She had no idea who'd packed them or what they contained. But she was desperate for a shower and clean clothes as soon as she hit her room. "That's okay. I'd prefer to take them myself."
    "No problem. Just follow the dock down to that golf cart over there and you'll be all set."
    "Thank you." Bonnie probably needed to offer her a tip at this point, but she had no cash in her purse at all. She wasn't good about using anything other than her debit card these days. "I'm sorry I don't have anything to offer you for a tip."
    The woman smiled larger. "That's okay. I would have refused it anyway. Here on Eden, none of the staff accepts tips. We don't work that way. You are our guest and as such everything is taken care of for you."
    Bonnie tried to hide her surprise. "Is there anything else I need to know about this Eden? This trip was kind of a surprise and I have no idea what I am supposed to be doing in a place like this."
    The pilot opened her door and started to climb in. "Don't worry. Eden is all about figuring out what you need and providing it. Just relax and go with whatever happens." With that, the woman disappeared into the plane and a moment later the engine started up and she pulled away from the dock.
    Bonnie was more confused than ever. What the hell did
