I roll my eyes. “I’ve missed you.”

She breathes in, pressing her lips together, hiding her smile. “That’s sweet.”

I scowl playfully, gently kissing the corner of her mouth, breathing her goodness into me. “I don’t want to keep you a secret anymore.”

“Okay,” she mumbles, pushing her tongue into my mouth, swirling.

“Okay.” I feel down to her ass and squeeze. “I’m doing it now.”

She withdraws, stunned. “Now?”

“Yes, now.”

“In front of everyone?”

“Yes.” I laugh. One stone, a dozen birds. There will be no grand, romantic announcement. I’ll sit Danny and James down, tell them how it is, and leave them to process the news. I take a lock of her hair and twirl it. “Then I’ll take you for your first lesson.”

“Lesson in what?”

I hold her nape, loving her cheeky half-smile. “Oh, gorgeous, the things you will learn from me.”

“Can’t wait.”

“Me—”

The door to the ladies swings open, and Pearl sucks back air. I quickly cover her mouth with my palm, a finger to my lips. “Pearl?” Beau calls.

My face bunches. Fuck. I release Pearl’s mouth and nod for her to talk. “Yeah?” she calls out.

“Oh, you’re in here.” Beau’s voice gets closer, and I look down to see her shadow on the floor. “Have you seen Brad?”

Pearl’s green eyes are like saucers. “No, why?”

“James is looking for him.”

“Oh.” Pearl pouts, mischief invading her green eyes. “He’s probably bitching to someone about something somewhere.”

I raise my brows. Pearl raises hers.

Beau chuckles. “I thought he seemed perkier the past week.”

“I wouldn’t know. I avoid that miserable bastard at all costs.”

Is she for real? Slighted, I flick her nipple, giving her a warning glare.

“Check the workshop!” she practically yelps, rubbing her boob and scowling at me. “I thought I saw him heading that way.”

“Okay.” The restroom door opens and closes, and I take Pearl’s cheeks in my hands, squeezing.

“You got something to say?” I ask.

“Kiss me.”

That’ll do. I slam my mouth on hers and kiss her hard, and she’s all in, crawling up my body, clinging on, giving me all the sounds. I give her just enough to keep us going for a little while longer. Until I don’t have to hide this . . .

What is this?

Pulling away, I put my face in her neck and soak up the glorious smell of her. “Go get your wetsuit on,” I order, releasing her from the side of the stall. “The right way this time.”
