“You got your bra and panties.”

Well, technically, he was right, but he didn’t need to be talking about such things. We were just friends. Good friends. Best friends, but that didn’t mean I wanted him seeing my undies.

Walking over to me, he stated, “Shug, it’s hot as hell today. I’m melting. I am in my underwear. Take off that dress and get in the water before we evaporate.”

“Not gonna happen, Eugene.” I chuckled.

“Why not? We’ve seen each other a hundred times. Get your butt in the water.”

“But those times were different. We were babies.”

“And I can still act like one too,” Eugene huffed and then pouted. “Please, Shug. I barely get to spend any time alone with ya.”

“We spend all our free time together,” I replied, rolling my eyes as Eugene bent down and scooped me up into his arms. Shrieking loudly, I held onto his neck as I kicked my legs, trying to free myself.

“Eugene Michael James, you put me down this instant!”

“Can’t do that, Shug. I like holding you.”

“I’m gonna tell your mom!”

“Don’t forget to tell my dad, too. He’d love to hear about this one.” He laughed, walking into the cool waters. The second the water reached his waist, Eugene took a firm grip on me before hurling me into the water.

Coming up for air, I heard Eugene’s laughter as he wrapped his arms around me, holding me as he swam us out to the deep part of the lake.

Holding onto him tightly, I squealed. “Not too far, Eugene. I’m not a good swimmer like you.”

Turning me to face him, he held me close and whispered, “I’d never let anything happen to you, Shug.”

“Shug?”

Blinking a few times, I jumped back as Eugene’s face was very close to mine, smiling.

Gulping, I muttered, “What?”

“You’re looking mighty purty this morning.”

“Um…” I sputtered, looking everywhere but at him.

“So, what do you say?”

“Say?” I frowned, confused.

He was too close.

After what we did last night, he was making me nervous, which was new, considering I’d never felt that way with him.

“Gonna give me a kiss?”

“A kiss?”

“Can’t start my day without a kiss from the best girl in Rosewood.”

My eyes widened as I swallowed the lump in my throat. Eugene wasn’t giving up as he carefully climbed on the bed, hovering over me, forcing me to lie back down. My eyes focused on his lips as he slowly lowered his mouth to mine.

Over the last few days, Eugene has hugged, kissed, and made love to me more times than I could count. The man was insatiable. It seemed every time I walked into a room, he would scurry me off to some dark, enclosed room and rock my world.

And God help me, did he do that and more.
