He reached for my hand and walked me towards the rear side of the pizza place. You could tell the kitchen staff were used to it, and it seemed he was familiar with everyone. He yelled out someone’s name. A young man showed up in swim trunks, flip flops, and shades giving Colton a bro hug.

“Are you ready?” Colton asked him as I looked on with a puzzled face.

“I’m always ready.”

He glanced in my direction before Colton jumped in, “this is my friend Sophie; she will be joining us.”

His friend?Well, I guess that was a more suitable introduction than ‘my boss who hired me to date her.’

“Hi, I’m Zack, it’s nice to meet you.” He pulled off his shades and winked at me.

“He’s 17,” Colton added, ensuring I would not get entangled in Zack’s charm. I took Zack’s hand while being polite and shook it. He held onto it making me a bit uncomfortable but I could tell that he did it on purpose. Looking me up and down I shot him a look by raising my brow giving off the non-verbal body language that I knew what he was thinking.

He raised his eyebrow back at me, questioning, “What size suit are you?”

“Um, I’m not sure if I am understanding.” I replied.

He dropped my hand and headed towards a box in the back of the large kitchen. He came back holding something and held it out towards me. “You look the same size as my ex-girlfriend,” Zack replied. I twisted my lips and nervously thanked him, trying to muse on what exactly was happening.

Colton marched towards the back door of the restaurant, and I followed him. Walking out, my eyes adjusted to the bright sun, which reflected off the large dock. Zack followed in front of me talking to Colton about his last competition, and I trailed, taking in the afternoon view of the lake. I had never seen a place before that the back of a Pizza place landed back on the dock area. The water crashed underneath directly hitting the building. We moved along on a large floating dock that had at least fifty boat slips lined up tied to it. All of them packed with boats of all shapes and sizes.

Wandering onto the second row of slips, we headed to the end of the dock. Colton turned towards a beautiful Supra Wakeboard boat that was at least $150,000 and they both stepped on as if this was an everyday occurrence. Colton gazed above and checked the three boards mounted on the bar. Not stepping on the boat, I saw that it was top-notch. Colton grabbed some sunglasses out of the side cubby. He looked back towards me realizing I was not on the boat. Looking around at the other boats this was by far the most expensive. I didn’t want to come off as rude but also didn’t want to just make myself at home on some random person’s boat that I didn’t know.

“Is this your boat?”

My question failed to disguise my true thoughts because he looked down with a disappointed face before nodding, “yep, all 26 inches.”

Zack let out a howling laughter, “that’s the only time he will ever be able to say that and not lie.” Looking towards Zack I watched his composure on the boat as he started setting up to launch off. Gaping back at the Pizza place we just left, I felt a hand touch my arm softly. “Everything okay?” Colton was holding my forearm, and my eyes moved to his face and then to his now naked chest, which was straight out of a Muscle magazine.

“Are we going out on this thing?” Still uneasy I stood doubting my next move.

“Yeah, it might not be as nice as the boat sitting on your dock, but she’s my baby,” Colton replied, reaching his one hand upon the bar and the other sliding down my arm softly to grip my hand to help me on. Stepping onto the boat he let go and I felt that I needed to reach back for him as it rocked side to side from the waves. The boat was swaying with the movement of the water which made me worried that the boat was unstable. Trying to hide my fears I entered the middle of the boat.

“Yes, okay, where would you like me to sit?” I asked with fake confidence.

“The bow has the best view,” Zack chimed in, sitting on the right side of the bow. Colton gave me a soft joyful look and bent down to hand me a lifejacket. He started putting it on me almost like he could sense my fear. While he buckled my jacket, his gaze never left my eyes. His face gave off an unfamiliar look, a look of happiness and safety. This was a major turn-on, and my skin heated at his stare. Once that last buckle clicked, I made my way to the side in front of the captain’s chair and took a seat. Zack gave a pouty face setting himself on the bow “you’re missing all the action” he said getting comfortable. “Don’t tell me she’s breaking your heart already mate” Colton teased. The boat came to life as he got behind the wheel and started ramping up the gadgets. We pushed off the dock, and music started playing loudly from the speakers connected to the soundbar. We started off slowly as we pulled into the main waters. After passing an orange buoy, we picked up speed fast, the front of the boat lifted, and I held onto the handle strong, feeling nervous.

I was scared but excited at the same time. We went pretty far out, and Colton slowed the boat and turned the music down. We stopped in an area with no other boats around. “Zack’s going to get ready, and I’m going to help in the back. The bow will be private if you want to slip into the swimsuit.” Zack jumped up at Colton’s direction. Giving it a few minutes to ensure privacy, I slipped off my jeans first.

The black bikini bottom hugged my butt perfectly. I slipped off my bra and put the top underneath my shirt. Colton was facing sideways, his lips parted, and I could tell that through his sunglasses he was watching. Slowly taking off my shirt, I kept my eyes on him. My boobs filled out over the blacktop, and to be honest, the strings holding them up made my breast size look amazing. Once changed, I moved my old outfit into the storage area in the bow. Turning around Colton stood next to me. He paused checking me out as he went to take on the controls.

“Damn, I’m not sure if you heard me tell you but that’s my ex-girlfriends,” Zack’s expression was sinful, implying he was single. Colton pushed his arm as he fell off the back of the boat attached to a board now floating behind the boat.

“Keep it up, Zack, and I’ll tell your mom about the new girl they hired.” Colton grinned flashing off the warning for him.

A few hours passed as I watched Zack fly through the air and land flawless 360s, he was really talented. After each run, Colton would pull him, change the boat settings, and coach him periodically. He was so kind to Zack. Finally, a boat passed by with a group of high schoolers dancing, and a short-haired blonde girl screamed out Zack’s name. “I’m tapping out man, thank you for everything.”

He threw the board back in the rack, jumped off the side of our boat, and swam to the other boat. “Wow, he just ditched us like that,” my voice carried real disappointment as I watched Zack climb on the boat and wrap his arms around the blonde. “To be young again,” I whispered.

“We are young.” Colton’s voice was soft by the close. The sky was turning purple as the sun was starting to set. “Okay, let’s get you ready.”

My head whipped around quickly towards Colton. Before I could come up with an excuse, his hands slid down the back of my legs. His touch sent shivers down my body, but they didn’t terrify me. How have I never noticed Colton before at the gym? He was breathtaking. “This looks really awesome, but I should be getting back.” Time was my ultimate excuse.

“Are you sure? You’re missing out on such an amazing rush?” His accent seemed a little deeper.

“Well, how about next time?” He beamed, feeling my anxiety, and decided to respect that. As soon as he removed his hand, I immediately wanted to take back my words. My body wanted his touch to be on me in so many ways.

“So, Colton,”
