Sullivan sighed and tilted his head back to stare up into the sun. Maybe it would burn out his retinas and spare him the torture of seeing Eddie in a bikini. “She has a boyfriend,” he said through gritted teeth.
If he had to explain that to one more person he was going to take out a billboard ad instead.
Without waiting for her to say anything else that would annoy him to the depths of his soul, he stalked off to the water’s edge. He didn’t bother to ease in. He just went out on the dock, right past Eddie tentatively dangling her legs over the side, and dove right in.
He heard her shriek from the splash before he went totally under.
When he resurfaced, tossing his head back and forth like a dog, she was leaning away from him, wearing an expression of distaste.
That was basically like handing him a challenge.
“You splashed me,” she said, brushing her thighs off.
“I thought you wanted to get wet.” He knew it sounded suggestive and he honestly didn’t care. Let her think whatever she wanted of him because it didn’t matter.
“On my terms.”
The fucking irony of that. This whole thing was on her terms. Whether she knew it or not. She could do whatever she wanted with him and he would agree because he had to.
He skimmed the water with his palm and splashed her intentionally.
“Sullivan!” She gaped at him.
“Come on, Ed, you came down here to get wet. It’s time to get wet.” He grabbed the edge of the dock and hauled himself out of the lake next to her.
She was scrambling to her feet in an attempt to get away, like he was some sort of lake creature. This was New York Edwina and he wasn’t as fond of her as Beaver Bend Eddie. But she was smiling as they wound up facing off, him dripping wet, her hunched over, her hands out to prevent him from getting any closer.
“Don’t you dare,” she said.
“What? I’m not doing anything.” He held his hands out even as he took a step closer to her.
She let out a little shriek.
He hadn’t been planning to throw her in the lake, but the idea was suddenly very appealing. If this were middle school, he wouldn’t have hesitated. It would have been payback for all the crap she gave him on the ice. Now it felt like paycheck for torturing him with her sexy ass covered in nothing but the tiniest of bikini bottoms.
“Sullivan,” she said.
It sounded like begging. Damn. This was most likely his one and only shot at hearing her plead with him. And while she was protesting, she was also smiling. Her eyes were bright with amusement. Her cheeks were flushed as if she were turned on.
He took two more steps, fighting the urge to grin as he moved to her side quickly and gripped both of her arms. Panicking, she reached out and tried to grab onto him to prevent herself from falling into the water.
He wrapped his arms around her and gave her a hug. Her skin was warm against his, his nipples brushing against his chest, just a thin layer of nylon between them. “Ed. I would never push you.”
“Really?” She relaxed a little.
“I would take you with me though.” He wrapped his arms tightly around her and stepped backward off of the dock, pulling her with him.
A fraction of a second too late, he realized the flaw in his plan. She was tall, with long arms and legs and she had a lengthy history of elbowing him. She got him right in the gut.
He lost his grip on her as he doubled over while falling.
Eddie screamed and grabbed, of all things, his swim trunks.
And a fistful of his cock.
It happened so fast, he could barely process what was happening. He groaned in shock, a mix of pleasure and pain as she gripped the life out of his dick, right before they landed hard in the water.
He’d meant the angle to be a little straighter, feet first in the lake. Instead he landed on his back with a reverberating smack that stung like a motherfucker.
