“Damn, that’s right.” I hadn’t forgotten, but I didn’t want her to know that. “I might have to cancel my plans, then.”
She playfully narrowed her eyes. “You better.” Suddenly, she slid her phone out from between her breasts. She tapped on it after frowning for a moment.
“Boyfriend?”
She shook her head. “Just a pool party I’m missing out on.”
“You really like to party, don’t you?”
She shrugged. “No, and yes. I would ratherpartywith older people because I feel more comfortable, but I do have some close friends my age I like to have fun with.”
“What I saw at the beach.”
“Yeah.” Nodding, she exhaled, tucking her phone back away. “It was just innocent.”
“It was illegal. If I hadn’t been there to save you, you’d be bored out of your mind on house arrest or something.”
“Here isn’t much better.”
“Is that so?” I rolled the chair back, standing. Striding to the front of my desk, I perched on the edge near her, crossing my arms over my chest. “My goal isn’t to make you miserable.”
Sucking her bottom lip into her mouth, she peered outside at the back yard.
“You want to swim?”
Her eyes met mine. “Only if you swim with me.”
“I don’t have time but go ahead.” I peeked at my watch. “I have a meeting in about forty-five minutes.”
“Okay, so come talk to me while I swim until then.”
Nestling my hands in my pockets, I tightened my jaw. The image of her prancing around my back yard in a bikini drove me insane. I fought the urge to lay her across my desk and fuck her. The thought of her screaming my name as I held her by the throat made my dick twitch.
“Vinny?”
I swallowed hard. “Okay, I can do that, I guess.” Every alarm in my head sounded.
Grinning, she rested a hand on my tense forearm. “You need to relax some, geez,” she teased as she swayed out the back door of my office.
Thankful that Marissa was away today, I followed Elizabeth to the pool. I stopped next to a chaise lounge, watching as she dipped her already bare feet into the shallow end. Slowly, I took a seat, debating whether or not to push her in.
“It’s nice.” Smiling, she laid her phone on the table next to me, then turned away, crossing her arms over her shirt.
Before it registered what she was doing, I was faced with her bare back.Oh no. Her hands moved to the top of her upper-thigh length, dark blue denim shorts. She shimmied out of them, bending over while presenting me with her flawless, tanned backside.
“What are you doing?” Gritting my teeth, I shifted in the chair.
She stood, taking a step closer to the pool, then looked back over her shoulder. “I forgot to bring my swimsuit.”
“You fucking tricked me,” I muttered under my breath.
Turning back to the pool, she lunged forward, diving in. Her head popped up in the middle. She smiled, wiping the water from her eyes. “I forgot you had a saltwater pool. It’s been a while. Are you sure you don’t want to get in?”
I shook my head. “Lizz—Eliza,” I stood, “you’re infuriating me.”
Snickering, she pointed toward me. “It looks like I’m actually making you happy.”
“Natural reaction.” I defended the lie. “You’re naked and—”
