Alexia Chase   Who has Christmas
all year round? In the Florida Keys? These people need their heads examined.
God, it’s hot. I fan the neckline of my top to let in some much-needed
coolness, except nothing but sweltering air is swooshing around. From inside my
black handbag clutch, my cell phone rings. I let go of the handle for my
luggage. Portia. My teeth grind together as I answer, “Yes?” “Did you make it
okay?” “Yes. If you call
standing in the middle of a machine shed, miles from civilization with my hair
frizzing, a mosquito trying to drain me of all my blood, and no way to get to
the Lansing Estates, okay.” “About that….”
Portia trails off as my armpits break into a sweat, making the silk fabric hug
my skin. “What?” “The estate isn’t
exactly an estate. The relatives who inherited the land that Jax wants to buy
haven’t had anyone living in the house since their father went into a nursing
home four years ago.” “Great.” I turn
my attention to the grinning receptionist, who’s now alone as the pilot readies
the plane to return to the mainland. Go now. Get back on the plane. Stop. It’s just a
few days. A week at the most, and you’ll be back in civilization. Robert marches
across the cement floor and engulfs the hand of another man. Is that blood? I
wrinkle my nose and watch their exchange. The man is tall and tan with dark
hair, and while I can’t see his eyes, I’m guessing they’re a startling shade of
blue. Because why wouldn’t they be? He might be
good-looking, but his clothes are disheveled and filthy. They’re either coated
in blood or something worse. I shift away from them. I don’t want to know what
that something else is. I spin on my heel
as I listen to my sister ramble about the land. The view. The ocean. The
wildlife. And every other disgusting thing about the outside. Give me a 5-star
restaurant and some upscale shopping, please. “You’re just
going to love this town. It’s amazing. I wish I wasn’t bedridden. I’d love to
go back there again.” My sister and her husband came to Candy Cane Keys for
Christmas, and she apparently came home with a little present, all of her own.
My future niece or nephew. “Who has a town
with Christmas decorations all year? What’s wrong with these people?” “Excuse me?” A
deep baritone voice growls behind me. I twirl around, smacking the good-looking
guy in the knee with my luggage. “Shit,” he grunts
and jerks backward. “Watch what you’re doing?” His eyes narrow into slits as he
eyes me up and down. “Don’t sneak up
on people; you won’t get hit.” “Ava, what’s
going on?” “Some local
bumpkin is yelling at me for hurting him with my luggage when he was the one
that smacked into me.” “Say, excuse me.”
The man crosses his arms over his chest. And lord, there’s a lot of it. His
eyes are a stark blue like the ocean. Just as I expected. I sniff. And he
smells like the ocean – salt, beach wood, and rotting fish. I hate the ocean.   About Alexia Chase Alexia Chase is a
