“Whatever you want,” he purrs. He continues to strum his thumb back and forth over my hand as he looks out over the water. His touch resonates throughout my body, sending tingles everywhere. He is still looking toward shore when his hand moves so that his fingers are now running up and down my inner thigh. I shift in my seat. Goosebumps appear across my entire body.

I stand up and walk over toward the helm so I can see where we are. Chase comes up behind me, pulling me close so I am flush against him. I can feel his breath on the back of my neck. His hands begin to massage my shoulders. He runs his nose up the side of my neck to the back of my ear. His teeth clamp down on my earlobe.

“Do you know how beautiful you are?” he whispers seductively against my ear. I shake my head, stunned into silence. His voice is hypnotic, and I’m frozen where I stand.

He spins me around so I am facing him, his hands still on my shoulders. He closes his eyes and takes a deep breath. I can’t be affecting him the same way he is affecting me. A chill runs through my body. I need to have his lips on mine. Now. I lift my hands and cup his face, his stubble tickling my fingers. I can’t help but feel intoxicated when he’s near me. Staring up into his bewitching eyes, I lean into him.

Without hesitation, his mouth is on mine. I throw my hands around his neck, bringing him closer. He grabs my hips and pulls me tight to his chest. Our bodies so close they are almost one. My hands run down his sculpted back, feeling his muscles ripple under my touch. He moves to my neck, nipping as he moves to my shoulder. I have never wanted anyone as much as I want him right here, right now.

His hands move around to my ass, caressing my backside. I moan causing Chase to kiss me deeper, his tongue dancing with mine.

The boat starts to slow down as we approach the no-wake-zone buoys near Davis. Chase breaks our kiss, leaning his forehead against mine as we both attempt to catch our breath. His eyes are closed. I wish I knew what he was thinking. “I need to go help tie the boat up,” he whispers between breaths. I can tell he’s not happy we’re being interrupted. Well, neither am I!

Paul spins the boat around and backs it up between the giant poles that separate each boat slip. Reluctant, Chase lets go of me and heads toward the stern to tie up the boat to the dock. Paul turns off the engine and heads toward the bow to tie up the front end of the boat to the poles.

Chase finishes tying the ropes to the cleats and grabs my bag that was on the floor toward the back of the boat. I collect my things, his steady gaze on me.

“Thank you for an amazing afternoon,” I manage to say, still rather breathless. He gives me a sly smile.

“The pleasure was mine,” he purrs. He jumps onto the dock where he places my duffel bag then helps me onto the dock beside him. Leaning in toward my ear, he whispers, “I hope you’ve enjoyed the day as much as I have.” He gives me a quick peck on the cheek, jumps onto the back of the boat, and disappears down the stairs. Holy fuck. In a fog, I pick up my bag and head down the walk.

Back at the house, Brenda is nowhere to be seen, so I assume that she’s still down on the beach. Since I am in my suit, I grab a chair and head down the walk.

Just as I suspected, she’s in the same spot I left her hours before. The only difference is she is now shielded by an umbrella and is reading a book. I plop my chair down next to hers.

“You’re back early,” she greets.

“You will never guess where he took me.” I’m still in shock. She shrugs. “I’ll give you a hint. We were in Bridgehampton.”

“Bridgehampton?” she asks perplexed. “I thought you were going for a boat ride.”

“That’s what I thought too.” I say. “Give up?”

Impatient now, she says, “Will you tell me already?”

“Bobby Van’s.”

“As in the restaurant Bobby Van’s?” she asks stunned.

“The very same.”

She gapes at me. “Wow, he could have taken you anywhere and that’s where he chose?”

“Yup. Look how I’m dressed.” I give an exaggerated wave of my hand to make my point. “I had my bikini on underneath thinking we were going out for a ride. I had no idea we would stop there.” I take off my tank top and shorts and take a seat next to her.

“I’m not sure if he was trying to impress you or show off,” she says confounded.

“I don’t know. I guess he thinks money is important. You know me; I could give a rat’s ass.”

“If he was showing off, he’s an obnoxious prick,” she says with disdain. “If he was trying to impress you, that’s a different story.”

“I don’t know. I did feel a little weird. He pulled out a black card.” That catches her attention. She sits up and spins around so she is facing me.

“Shut up! Really!?” I nod. “I mean I figured he had money but a black card?”

“I know. I can’t even afford to have the regular blue one.” I don’t have any credit cards. If I can’t pay cash for something, I can’t afford it, and I will not put myself in debt.

“It’s about time that you got pampered. It’s not like the asshat ever took you anywhere nice,” she reminds me.
