Jamaican Temptation - Can you resist!
Shopaholic Kyra Mays decides to shop for a rich man on
her Jamaican vacation. Instead, she meets Justin Lance, a white reggae singer
who’s nearly as poor as the orphans he devotes his life to helping. Overwhelmed
by his magnetism, she decides to have a fling with him.
All that matters to Justin is being a perfect
Rastafarian. He vows to avoid succumbing to temptation with the dark beauty at
all costs. Unable to keep their hands off each other, they forge a bond that is
just as emotional as physical as they explore their differences on the lush
island of Jamaica. But Justin’s secret will put their ability to compromise
through an impossible test.
Kyra sipped her
yellow, frosty drink when it arrived, tasting pineapple, rum, and sugar. “Just
what I thought. Lame. I told you we should have gone to Grand Cayman instead.”
“But Jamaica has
more beauty,” Latasha insisted. “Did you see those mountains as we flew in? I
already have ideas for at least ten paintings.”
“You’re such an
artist. Grand Cayman has a zillion banks. That’s my kind of art.”
“Maybe we can
tour a coffee plantation tomorrow,” Latasha suggested. “I want to see the
island from up high, and you could meet a rich plantation owner.”
Kyra grinned for
the first time since she’d strolled into this boring bar. “Me and a white
plantation owner? I’m not so sure I like the sound of that.”
So why did her
thighs clench under her black-and-gold striped sundress? She’d fantasized about
getting intimate with a white man, but could she actually do it for real? As
long as his money was green, she wasn’t too particular about her dream man’s
skin color. It paid to have an open mind.
Both women
focused on the stage when the band launched into the next song. The reggae beat
drifted through Kyra’s body, washing away the frantic rhythm of her life and
replacing it with something slower, sexier…. She found herself swaying in her
seat as if rocked by an invisible tide.
In addition to
the male lead singer, the band included a guy each on drums, keyboard, and bass
guitar. A teenaged male swished a flag around. No white men there. Each had
dreadlocks or braids of varying lengths.
Wait a minute.
The lead singer had paler skin than the others. He was either mixed race or a
white guy with a tan. He was so slim and lithe as he swayed to the music he
appeared pretty young. Condensation dripped over Kyra’s fingers as she clutched
her glass.
When the lights
rotated and swept the stage, she caught a glimpse of blue. The lead singer had
blue eyes. Come to think of it, his dreadlocks were brown instead of black and
not quite as puffy as the others’ hair.
“I’ll be damned,”
she muttered to herself. “He is
white.”
“Huh?” Latasha
asked.
“The lead singer
is white.”
“So?” Her friend
shrugged. “I don’t think there’s any rule against white people playing reggae.”
That’s not the point. The point is…he’s hot. Damn
hot.
He wore a worn,
light blue shirt with the sleeves rolled up. His faded jeans had holes in them
and were one step away from the rag bag. Her gaze continued to his feet,
finding a pair of biblical-style sandals.
Hardly the rich
man she was looking for.
