But this was her vacation, too, so I sat back and watched. Until he reached out to correct her footing and let his hand linger longer than he needed to.
“There you are.”
They both jumped and turned to me.
“Savior,” she said, a hint of surprise, and then heat as her gaze slid to my chest.
“Kip, this is Savior. A family friend.”
I quirked a brow at her and she gave me one right back.
“Don’t let me interrupt your lesson.”
I kept my voice even and my face blank. Kip backed
up a little.
“Actually we’re done,” he stammered. “I was just, ah, giving Mandy some pointers.”
He scraped one hand through his hair while the other began cutting through the water.
“Just remember to tighten your core. I, uhm, see my next client. Enjoy your vacation,” he called out, already paddling fast with his back to us.
“Was that necessary?”
I shrugged. “Don’t know what you mean.”
“No. I won’t do this Neanderthal thing, Savior. It’s not my jam. It’s my least favorite jam, in fact.”
“What?”
“I’ll make it simple for you. Knock it off.”
She was cute when she was trying to be tough.
“I can’t help it, not when you look like you do in that.”
I pointed at the bathing suit, or the perfect likeness of one, anyway. Calling it ‘barely there’ would be generous. Not that I was complaining. The blue fabric looked like one long ribbon molded strategically to drive me out of my fucking mind.
“You’ve seen me in much less than this.”
“Yeah, but when I look at you in that, all I can see is myself unraveling it, kissing and nibbling every inch of skin as I uncover it.”
I waded into the water, catching up with her so I could reach over and tug on the bow at her hip but she smacked my hand away.
“You didn’t think I’d make it easy for drunken frat boys and frisky bikers, did you?”
“A man can hope, can’t he?”
“I never would have pegged you for an optimist.”
She squeaked when I pulled her up against me, treading water and unable to resist the urge to run my hands up and down the smooth skin of her thighs.
“I’m surprising even myself these days.”
I pressed a kiss to her neck that made her shiver. “But nothing was as surprising as you. Last night.”
“Must be the sea air,” she said in a muffled voice against my chest.
