I chuckle as Colton jumps off his surfboard and into the water. “Shut up, Ivy.”
“I’m just saying, with the way you look at him, I’m surprised Maverick hasn’t caught on yet.”
“How do you know he hasn’t?”
“Because Colton’s still in one piece.”
My eyes roll instinctively. “Oh, please. He wouldn’t hurt his best friend.”
“No, he wouldn’t hurt him. He would kill him.” She looks around to make sure the coast is clear before turning back to me. “You’re his baby sister. His best friend is boinking his baby sister.”
“Okay one, don’t ever use the word ‘boinking’ again. And two, I’m not anyone’s baby anything.” Glancing back at the water, I see Colton and Maverick coming toward us. “Now zip it before you accidentally let something slip.”
The guys drop their boards onto the sand and grab towels to dry their faces. Colton smirks when he notices me staring at him. He reaches back and pulls the zipper on his wetsuit down, peeling the top half from his wet body. I need to stop myself from moaning at the sight of his perfectly sculpted abs.
“I’m going to rinse off. You coming?” Maverick asks him.
“Nah, I think I’ll stay here.”
Not thinking anything of it, my brother nods and heads for the showers. Once he’s out of sight, Colton plops himself down next to me. He puts one hand on my cheek and pulls me in, pressing our lips together. It’s not long, but enough to make my knees weak and my body tingle. Ivy mocks disgust but the two of us ignore her. When he breaks the kiss, he rests his forehead on mine.
“I have wanted to do that all morning.” He whispers.
I don’t stand a chance in fighting the smile that comes from his words. “Me too.”
Ivy grabs a bottle of water from the small cooler and hands it to him. He thanks her, then pours the liquid into his mouth. I watch his Adam’s apple bob as he swallows. When he’s done, he flings it toward me. I gasp as the cold water splashes against my heated skin. He smiles guiltily and winks at me.
“Seriously?”
His grin widens. “Seriously.”
Knowing how much he hates when the sand clings to his body, I grab a handful and press it against his chest. He bites his lip and closes his eyes. When he reopens them, my breath hitches.
“You really just did that?”
“Yup.” I reply, popping the p.
He hums and then nods. “I’ll give you five seconds to run.” At first I think he’s kidding, but then he raises his eyebrows and starts to count. “One, two…”
“Shit.”
I get up to run but within half a second, he catches me - wrapping his arms around my waist and digging his fingers into my sides. A squeal leaves my mouth as he tickles me and no matter how much I beg, he doesn’t let go. Ivy laughs until a voice makes us all freeze.
“What are you doing?”
Colton releases me instantly and the two of us turn to see Maverick looking at us like he’s trying to solve the worlds hardest puzzle. He glances from his best friend, to me, and back again - waiting for an answer. Thankfully, Colton snickers and runs his fingers through his hair.
“Just messing around. She threw sand on me.”
My jaw drops as I turn to him. “You splashed me with cold water!”
“I would’ve thrown you into the ocean if big brother hadn’t come to your rescue.”
I roll my eyes, but nothing can stop me from giggling. Maverick’s eyes narrow at my reaction and he turns his attention back to Colton.
“Is there something going on between you two?”
“Between me and Mac?” He asks, as if the idea is absurd. “Dude, are you really asking me that?”
