“I’ve never seen you be affectionate with anyone who’s not your mom.”
“And she usually forces me.”
“Exactly my point.”
“Are you going to state the obvious all day?”
“It seems to be the only way to make you understand.”
“Is that right?”
I blinked and he was throwing me over his shoulder with my ass in his face.
“I think it’s time to go swimming!”
“Adrian! Don’t you dare! Oh my God! There’re dolphins!” I shouted, holding myself up on his back to look at the ocean.
“Let’s throw you in with them.”
“Wait! Let me put my bikini on first!” I tightened my arms around his neck. “If I go in! You’re coming with me!”
He chuckled, “You do realize I’m a hell of a lot bigger than you, don’t you?”
“And you realize I could—”
“You could what, Paige?” He knew he had the upper hand. With ease, he shifted my body, and my legs naturally wrapped around his waist. “Tell me what you could do?”
I opened my mouth, but his cellphone rang, ruining the moment. He slowly set me back down onto the ground before answering his call. I took the opportunity to compose myself and went to change into my bikini. A white bandeau top and matching cheeky bottoms.
While I was getting ready, the engine to the boat roared to life. Seconds later, it began moving. I was giddy with excitement, looking in the mirror to adjust my top. Once I was finished, I made us a jar of margaritas. I wasn’t a big drinker, but I could make a spicy margarita.
Adrian was driving the boat, looking so freaking sexy as the captain. When he saw me approach, he immediately eyed my body with his familiar predatory glare, and he wasn’t subtle about it.
“I think my bikini shrunk in the wash.” Slowly turning, I posed for him. “What do you think?”
“I think it’s going to stay in my drawer after today.”
“Oh, you want to wear it?” I sassed.
“You won’t be wearing it again without me. I’ll buy you a one piece you can wear out in public.”
“That sounds so attractive.”
“My thoughts exactly.”
I set the pitcher on the counter and leaned into the seat beside him.
With a serious expression, I argued, “I already have a daddy. Though he’s never around, but that doesn’t mean I have a daddy issues. So, this whole alpha, protector, you listen to me. Roar!” I clawed at him. “Type of control you’re stuck on, it’s not going to work for me.”
He said one word, and one word only.
In a deep, throaty tone, he warned, “Run.”
I didn’t have to be told twice, I turned and jumped into the ocean.
I had to.
By the sudden warning on his handsome face, I was in trouble. As I popped out of the water, I realized my top was gone.
