“That’s good, at least.”
She bought it!
“Yeah,” he agreed. Removing his glasses, Garrett bent over to tuck them under his towel. “You ready?” He stood and turned around in time to see her eyes flying back up to his.
“Yep.” Avery spun on her bare heels, facing the water while she waited.
Her stiffened spine and tight voice sent Garrett’s lips curving upward. She’d been checking out his ass, and from the tension in her body, he was confident she liked what she saw.
I’d be happy to show you the rest.
Garrett stepped closer to her. So close he could feel her body’s heat. Avery’s breathing picked up, and the pulse point on her neck thumped harder than before.
At first, he thought maybe he was scaring her. Needing to be sure, he lifted his eyes for a glimpse at her beautiful face.
Her lips were parted slightly. Her soft cheeks flushed. And when he glanced down at the pointed peaks of her hidden breasts, he knew she felt it, too.
“Garrett…” His name escaped with a low rasp.
Leaning inward, he was about to kiss the side of her neck when he remembered where they were.
Not wanting to embarrass or make Avery feel uncomfortable in any way, Garrett forced his raging need for this woman down and repositioned the angle of his head.
Letting his lips whisper across her ear, he told her, “Last one in’s a rotten egg.”
Then he smiled and ran toward the water.
“Wha…hey!” Avery took off after him. “That’s cheating!”
Reaching the water before her, he stopped when he was ankle deep.Jesus, that’s cold.With the slow, lazy waves caressing his feet, he turned and waited as Avery closed the distance between them.
Garrett’s cock twitched again when he saw her breasts bouncing with every step. If she wasn’t careful, she’d fall right out of the skimpy top.
If they were alone, he’d be all for it. But the idea of all theseotherpeople seeing his woman’s breasts made him want to grab the nearest towel and wrap her up like a fucking burrito.
She’s not yours, dickhead. Not even close.
No, Avery wasn’t his. Not yet. He still had a few more days to change that.
Garrett was standing there, thinking of all the ways he could achieve that goal when Avery ran straight past him in a blur.
“I win!” She wore a smug smile, splashing him as she moved deeper into the swimming area.
The cold water left his breath hitching. “No way. I got here first!”
Avery kept running. “You said last onein.”
“Iamin!” He hollered after her.
“Feet don’t count!”
Since when?
Garrett opened his mouth to ask the question, but he was too late. As if it were nothing, Avery had braved the frigid water, diving head-first beneath its clear blue surface.
“I’ll be damned.”
Not wanting to come off as a pussy, he did the same. Then he came back up, shivering and sucking in air.
