I guess I need to know as a man.
“Tell me you want this,” I rasp. “Tell me I’m not losing my mind, imagining this thing between us.”
She tries to speak, but her eyes are shining with arousal. Her mouth moves in the shape of a kiss instead of words.
And taking the hint, I lean down, forgetting all about Abby even. All about the fact that this is her best friend.
Because right now, we’re just two people who are being drawn together after rediscovering one another.
It doesn’t just feel right, it feels like the only thing either of us can do to follow our feelings.
I don’t know how close I get, but I can feel the warmth of Jen’s sweet mouth so close to mine.
Her hand finds as much as she can grip of me under the water. And my hands hook around her curvy hips.
Her chest is pressing into me, and my hardness with her soft, perfectly formed body.
But it looks and sounds like nature, destiny, or whatever you want to call it has other plans.
Namely, menu choices when Abby calls out loudly as she comes back outside.
Making both Jen and I slip away from each other.
“I’m thinking seafood from that place we used last summer, unless you want something else?” Abby asks, scanning the pool in the semi-darkness.
“Dad? Jen?” she asks, and I stand up fully in the pool, letting her know seafood sounds great. My voice cracking.
I sound like a teenage boy who’s been caught trying to kiss his girl on the front porch after a first date.
The voice in my mind is screaming I just need Jen.
Not for one kiss or even a million.
I know before I’ve even tasted her or touched her sweet lips that I want all of her forever.
CHAPTERSEVEN
Jen
“If you want something, you gotta reach out and grab it.”
Right, Abby?
Her advice rings in my ears as I feel myself about to totally unravel.
My hand reaches for Kane as if it’s something that already belongs to me.
Do I fall onto him on purpose, or do I just take a step out into the deep end of the pool?
I guess either way I look at it, I’m taking more than a step into some pretty deep water.
And as I watch Kane’s face moving closer to mine, I know I’m falling. Drowning even, and it has nothing to do with the damned pool.
Falling forhim, wanting to take him in until he fills every cell of my body.
Wanting to give all of me to him, begging him to do whatever he wants to me. Knowing it’s all going to be exactly what I need.
But Abby coming back outside puts an end to everything before it can happen.
