his head was pounding from the persistent hangover, so emmett decided to go try to sneak in the hot tub when no one was around. when he rounded the corner, he was disappointed to see someone already lounging away in the warm water. shuffling up, emmett was invited into the hot tub with a flirty line that made him blush. “i don’t mind a little teeth, but give me a safe word first,” he teased, stepping into the warm water and sitting across from her. “i’m emmett, tell me what name you’re going to make me moan.” his laughter rang out, knowing that his weird humor probably wouldn’t track with yet another one of the women of the island. // @islandcrs
