“Never.”
Bastian took his board as Logan gently tackled me onto the towel, which made me shriek. “You’re all wet.”
“That’s the point. I’m all wet, and I want to getyouall wet.”
“Clever.” I rolled my eyes.
“You forget that I was there this morning when you got dressed. I know you have a bathing suit on under there.”
The way he was over me blocked the sun. “What, you’re going to drag me into the ocean?”
He thought about it. “It would be the easiest way to fuck you in public.”
“You’re in the middle of a competition.” I gently smacked his arm. “Don’t think about that.”
“I’m always thinking about it.”
“Okay, butsand.”
Logan ducked his head to speak in my ear. “You know what’s fun about having a dynamic like ours?”
“If you need me to tell you, I might question some things.”
He laughed against my ear, giving me chills even though the day was warm and so was he. “Careful, I’ll hand you over to Brooks to spank your bratty ass.”
“Promises, promises.”
“What I was actually going to say,” he nipped the skin beneath my ear, “is that it’s not always about dragging you off to fuck you. It’s about the fact that wecould.” He paused, letting the words sink in. “It’s the knowledge that something’s happening between us that no one else can see. We’re being kinky in public just by existing, and no one knows.
“So yeah, I’m going to think about how I could keep you covered with my body while I fucked you with my fingers.” He had that right. Would I safe word? Exhibitionism wasn’t high on my list of kinks, but I’d loved what Aiden did at The Grotto. “I’m not going to, because I’m not going to risk someone like that asshole I saw seeing any part of you.”
“That’s why you came over?”
“Partly. And I wanted to kiss my Omega.”
Loud, vague words came from the loudspeaker system. I didn’t know how anyone understood what it was saying, but Logan did. “Okay. Gotta go win this so we can get to the rest of our plans.”
“The rest of our plans? This isn’tallof our plans?”
Logan scoffed. “It’s barely afternoon. We havelotsof plans.” He kissed me one more time before taking his board and jogging back to the water.
I looked over at Brooks. “What kind of plans?”
“It’s a surprise, baby.”
“What’s even down here, other than this?”
Aiden moved and sat behind me, letting me lean back against his body. He had sunblock in his hand and slowly began to rub it down my arms. “I can do that.”
“You will not.”
We watched Logan surf while Aiden reapplied the sunscreen to the top half of my body. He tossed the tube to Bastian, and he worked on my legs. “A girl could get used to this.”
“Please do,” Aiden said. “It’s part of the exchange.”
Logan’s bright orange appeared on ahugewave. They’d been getting bigger for the last hour, and now they were big enough that I would say hell no. I pulled Aiden’s arms around my waist. “How so?”
“You give us a lot of power. You love it, and we love it. That doesn’t make it easy, and as far as I’m concerned, it’s enough. You’re alreadyhanding yourself over to us. Body, mind, hopefully heart. So anything I can take off your plate, I will.” He kissed my bare shoulder. “But don’t think I’m totally selfless. It feeds my kink too. You’re mine. I take care of what’s mine.” He paused for a moment. “I know the dynamic is sexual, but I don’t mind if it’s more. I love that. And I think you want more too. We’ll find the happy place between your independence and submission. It will just take time.”
