“I’m not a huge fan of clowns.” For the first time since she arrived, the easygoing relationship they had was once again in full force. “And you never specified what type of information you wanted.”
“Technicality. I’ll be more careful in the future.”
He watched a droplet of water slide down her neck toward where her exposed skin ended and the swimsuit top began. Leaning closer, he licked the salty droplet away, and he sensed her quick intake of breath. “You taste good.”
Since she didn’t push him away or ask him to stop, he pressed his lips against her skin and kissed her once before working his way toward her neck, leaving a trail of kisses behind him. The closer he got to her lips, the faster his own blood raced. When he reached her mouth, he captured it, using his lips to caress and communicate the love he felt.
It caught him by surprise when the tip of her tongue ran along his bottom lip, a clear invitation. He didn’t hesitate. He opened for her, their tongues mating tentatively for a moment or two. Then she touched his back and pressed her breasts into his chest, causing his blood to boil and his erection to demand a chance to join the fun. Their kiss changed, became a frantic meeting, and he fell back against the beach towel, taking her do
wn on top of him.
She stiffened, but then her body again became pliant against his and she straddled him. He groaned, grabbed her ass, holding her against his erection, and wondered how far she’d let him take things today.
Brooklyn moved against him and he tore his hands away from her ass and reached for the knot holding her swimsuit top up. It took some work, but finally he got the wet material undone. Pulling her top off meant ending their kiss. So instead, he reached between their bodies and tugged it down. The bathing suit had hidden the evidence, but with it out of the way, her pebbled nipples pressed into his chest.
“You’re killing me,” he ground out, reaching up and cupping one breast, letting his thumb rub against its nipple and loving the way it tightened more as he did.
“Am I too heavy?”
“Christ no. That’s not what I meant.” He reversed their position and pressed his hips into her as he took a nipple in his mouth.
Fingernails dug in to his shoulders, all the encouragement he needed. Slowly, he sucked on one nipple before circling it with his tongue. When she arched her hips into him, he switched his mouth to her other breast, taking his time and making sure it got the same amount of attention.
“You’re so beautiful,” he said against her skin. Her body stilled under his even though her chest continued to rise and fall rapidly. Evidently telling her the truth had been the wrong thing to do. Who would’ve guessed?
As if she only then realized her breasts were exposed, she yanked at her top with one hand. The wet material had its own ideas and stuck to her skin, forcing her to grab it with both hands and tug it into place. “Derek, I don’t think you’ve ever lied to me. Please don’t do it now.”
He’d had people call him a liar before. Just never when he’d told a woman she was beautiful. “You’re right, I never have and I’m not now.”
People on the other side of the bridge probably heard her sigh. “Come on. Let’s be honest. I’m not hideous or anything, but I’m not like my sisters. I’ll never win any beauty pageants.”
Derek ground his teeth together. “Then you haven’t looked in a mirror, because you’re beautiful, hot, sexy. Should I add more adjectives? I can. Right now, there’s nothing I want more than to strip you naked and make love to you. If this place was a little more secluded, I would too.” His condo was part of a small gated community that consisted of six condos, and everyone who lived in it had access to the beach. Although he hadn’t seen any of his neighbors this weekend, it was no guarantee they weren’t around.
Color that had nothing to do with the sun filled her face and exposed skin.
“Don’t tell me you doubt it. You can feel the state I’m in.” He pressed his hips into hers again. Before he changed his mind and risked a nosy neighbor catching them, he rolled off her. “Besides, when we make love, I plan on taking my time. Something else I can’t do out here.”
She took the opportunity to adjust her top and tie it back around her neck. When she finished, she opened her mouth as if about to say something, then snapped it shut again.
“What? Don’t tell me you still plan on disagreeing with me.”
Brooklyn patted his cheek but didn’t smile. “Wouldn’t dream of it.”
“Then what did you intend on saying?”
“Maybe now is a good time to eat lunch.”
Not a bad idea. If he had food in his mouth, he couldn’t tell her how angry her comment made him. “Sure, and afterward we’ll take the Affinity out.”
He stood and reached out a hand. “Too bad we don’t have more time this weekend. I’d take you into New York so we could go shopping.”
Brooklyn took his hand and allowed him to pull her up. “We don’t need to go so far for a simple swimsuit. I got this one at the mall.”
He eyed the suit she wore and arched an eyebrow. “All the more reason to visit New York.”
“Knock it off. There’s nothing wrong with this suit,” she said as they gathered up the things they’d brought down with them.
“Let’s agree to disagree on this one.” He took her hand and started up the beach toward his deck. “Since New York is out, the mall will do, I guess. How does a little shopping trip one night after work sound?”
