“Don’t be silly,” I say.“It’s a waterpark, right?So won’t most of the rides be on big rafts?”
“She’s right,” Lavender says.“This is no big deal.”
“I’m happy to be the odd man out,” Hawk says.
I grab his hand.“No way.You’re my partner on the rides.”
Jordan huffs.“Fine.It’ll all work out.We’ll take turns if we have to.”
His eyes tell a different story though.
A story that haunts me, because it reminds me of the look my father got whenever he found out I was pregnant again with one of his friends’ babies.

HAWK
Already I hatethis Jordan motherfucker.He’s clearly interested in Daniela, and that rubs me the wrong way.
But Daniela is clearly not into him, and she invited me today.Probably to act as a buffer between her and Jordan.
Besides, she grabbed my hand and said I’ll be her partner for all the rides.
“Let’s go change,” Daniela says.
“Follow us,” Gina says.“Hawk, you can go with Jordan into the male locker room.”
Great.
Alone with the guy who wants to get into my woman’s pants.
I watch my back as I change out of my jeans and shirt and into my trunks and flip-flops.I steal a glance over at Jordan.
Seriously?
He’s wearing a bright blue speedo that shows off his junk.
There are kids here, for God’s sake.We won’t be going near the kids’ area, but still…
Without saying a word to him, I leave to regroup with the ladies.And then?—
Fuck.
Daniela.
I mean, I’ve seen her naked, and she’s a freaking work of art, but this white string bikini?
Gina and Lavender have great bodies too, but they pale in comparison to Daniela.
“Let me put some sunscreen on you, Hawk,” Daniela says.
“Absolutely.”
Daniela and I both have naturally tan skin, but I grew up with sunscreen, working on a ranch every day.
Her touch sends tingles through me as she rubs the lotion over my back and shoulders.
“Next,” Jordan says, winking at Daniela.
