“I was thinking,” I said. “We should buy a house in South Florida or something. Whatever place resembles this the most—where we can ride Jet-Skis all day long.”
“Yes!” he cried out. “I vote yes!” He swung his legs over the armrest and draped an arm around my shoulders. “We could talk to Ty, maybe? He has a house way down south. Lane says it’s heaven on earth.”
We could definitely do that.
A few minutes later, we passed a wooded area that soon revealed a more secluded beach—and our friends. And I didn’t know if a permit was needed and Macklin had worked his magic or what…well, actually, there were two permanent cement fire pits, so it had to be allowed.
We’d been promised grilled fish and cocktails, so I was looking forward to that. And when Macklin announced a menu, there was always more.
Noa jumped off and detached my cane from the chair, and he helped me up.
“Daddy!” I heard Cam holler.
“Yeah?” I squinted for the sun, reaching for my shades that were usually tucked into my tee, only to remember I had them in my side pocket. I wasn’t wearing a shirt, for chrissakes.
Cam jogged over, out of breath. “You gotta talk to Master,” he said. “He’s found his next hobby.”
Oh dear.
“What is it this time?” I almost didn’t want the answer.
He huffed a breath and planted his hands on his hips. So cute. “He wants to buy a boat.”
“Ha!” Noa snorted a laugh and jerked a thumb over his shoulder—at me. “Daddy just said we should buy a house in Florida.”
Well, now. A boat was an intriguing idea; we wouldn’t have to stick to one place. The problem was, we knew absolutely nothing about boating.
“Oh my God, you’re considering it,” Cam accused.
I chuckled and positioned Noa next to me. I needed both him and the cane if I was going to walk in the softest beach sand.
“Before we get ahead of ourselves, let’s see if this isn’t another one of his five-minute projects,” I reasoned. “He may very well have forgotten it by the time we get home.”
Cam seemed skeptical. “He’s already talking to Master Walker, and he has a boat.”
That didn’t mean anything.
With assistance from Noa, we made our way over to the barbecue area, and Macklin asked if I needed help. It was okay. I was okay. Meanwhile, Cam ran ahead because he said he’d prepared a seat for me under an umbrella.
They’d brought out the works. Umbrellas, coolers, all of it.
Kingsley, Ash, Shay, Greer, Sloan, and River were out in the water, and Reese was on his way out.
Naked as the day he was born, of course.
“Dong alert!” Noa yelled.
Reese smirked and picked up a towel from a beach chair. “There’s a honey dipper with your name on it, pet.”
“No, thanks!”
I chuckled under my breath.
Soon enough, we arrived at our little spot. Cam had fanned out a few towels, and Lucian was resting comfortably under the umbrella, while Walker was catching some sun right next to him. And yes, they were discussing boats.
Noa assisted me so I didn’t fall on my ass. “Here’s your fiancé number two, Sir Proposal Whore—I mean, I love you!”
I coughed around a laugh and slumped back.
