“I’m sure your ego can handle worse.”

I smile at her again. “Seriously, what can I get you to drink?”

“I’ll take a beer,” she says, and I hand her my open one.

“I promise I haven’t even taken a sip yet.” She reaches for it, and our fingers brush. I can see her shiver, the misstep in her breath. I felt it too. I clear my throat and look around. “Where did the two of them go?”

Haisley shrugs. “Probably to get one off before the rest of the guests get here.”

“Want to head out back? I set up umbrellas near the lounges around the pool.”

“Let’s go,” she agrees as I motion to the deck doors. I let her go first, taking the time to appreciate the view of her ass in the tight jean shorts she’s got on. They mold to her body as if they were painted on. Her hair is tied up in a loose bun at the nape of her neck. Her bikini strings peek out from her tank top.

“Wow, it’s really pretty back here,” she gasps as I stop behind her.

“My view is pretty nice if I don’t say so myself,” I tease as I feel her body stiffen against mine. If she’s not careful, she’s going to feel exactly how much I appreciate the view. “Are you going to swim today?”

“I don’t know. The crew will be here...” she trails off as I run my finger up and down the length of her arm. She still hasn’t moved from the spot she’s standing. Her arm is slack against her side, and she tilts her head back against my chest as I continue to run my finger over her skin.

“You can borrow a t-shirt if you want. You make a very valid point about the rest of the crew seeing you in a bikini,” I whisper into her ear. She arches against my body, and my dick responds. Traitor. “You keep doing that and I might make a fool out of myself.”

Haisley moans as she arches back again. My hand wraps around her waist, and I pull her tight to me, my hardness against her ass. “Saint...” she moans barely above a whisper as I am pulled back to the reality that we are not alone.

Mac and Elle barrel onto the deck, and I quickly release Haisley and attempt to discretely adjust myself.

“Did we interrupt anything?” Mac asks chuckling.

I clear my throat and turn to face him. “Could say the same thing about you two.”

“Yeah, where did you run off to?” Haisley joins in the inquisition.

“Mac just gave me a tour of the house,” Elle replies.

“And his bedroom,” Haisley quips back without missing a beat.

“Whatever, Hais. We’re all adults here. And when you two admit there’s something going on, then we can all have fun,” Elle matches her snippiness.

“Piss off,” Haisley counters laughing.

“Come on, let’s get the food prepped,” I say to Mac. “Girls, the deck is yours. We’ll be right back.”

Mac follows me into the kitchen, and I grab another beer.

“Well, there was a lot of sexual tension going on out there,” Mac comments as I down half the beer in one gulp.

“Yes, yes there was. Thanks for interrupting,” I snap back.

“Sorry, man, how was I supposed to know?”

“You wouldn’t have, but your timing seems to show that you were pretty fast, no?” I taunt him.

“I’m not fast. Don’t you worry about Elle, she’s quite satisfied in that department,” he retorts as he tries to save face.

“I’m busting on you, Mac.”

“I know. So, seriously, what is going on with you and Haisley?”

I shrug. “Nothing yet, but I feel a lot of things for her. Protection, jealousy, arousal,” I lower my voice on the last one. “That night in Indy...I don’t know, I feel like we connected. Nothing happened except just hanging out and talking. She’s a great person,” I finish and take a sip of my beer.
