“You going to wait for me?” she screams. I nod.She better believe it.

I watch her get into a gymnast stance, she starts doing a walk-over, over and over until she walks off.Damn she’s bendy. She’s laughing when I pull her up to me. “You’re hot!”

“You’re not too bad yourself, Mr. Starks.” We’re treading water together as one. She’s perfect for me. We see Andy and Michael doing double flips. “Showoffs,” she yells.

She’s laughing when she sees Gerry and Marcus floating on a pink flamingo. “Gerry are you not going to get wet?” she asks.

“Y’all white folks are crazy. You’re asking to be a meal for a shark.” Gerry looks around the water for fins.

“The captain has a sonar,” she tells him. I laugh, that’s what she was asking him about.

“You want a drink? I see Toni bringing you one.” Andy helps her up, while I get a nice view of her ass.

She takes her cosmo and goes back to the sun lounge she started off on this morning. I follow her like a little puppy. Her hair is as dark as mine sleek and wet. She’s completely relaxed, drink in hand, tapping her foot to the music. Her sapphire eyes sparkling against my boat. I am lost.

“You having a good time so far?”

“Yes.” She looks at me, smiling. “My face actually hurts. I haven’t smiled this much in a long time.”

I relax back, bending one arm behind my head. “You wanna lay here and watch the sun set together?”

“Yes,” she purrs softly. I feel her hand reach for my forearm—strolling her fingers up and down. She has no idea how sexy she is. “Thank you,” she whispers.

“For what?” Our eyes meet.

“For waking me up … making me feel something again.” She softly smiles before she looks out at the horizon.

AMELIA

Itook a lukewarm shower this evening. I don’t want to replace his touch with heat. His confession make me grin—he wants more—he wants more with me! I slip a black mini strapless dress on.

Knock! Knock!

“It’s open.”

“Don’t you look ravishing!” His voice melts me.

“Oh my,” I whisper, “you’re very sexy.” I drool over his nautical printed navy button down short sleeve shirt and distressed khaki shorts. The shirt hangs loose around his six pack but is fitted around his biceps. He smells amazing.

“You ready for dinner? I hope you’re hungry. Chef is serving in the closed dining cabin. It can get a little chilly in the evening on the water.”

“Yes.”

“Looking good.” Andy grins as he kisses me on my cheek when we walk in. They really are all terrible flirts. Marcus and Gerry are standing by the bar talking. Tierra and Tina are lounging on the white L-shaped sofa, sipping their cocktails, wearing really skimpy dresses. Tierra has a beautiful body and knows it. Michael greets him with his gin and lime in hand as soon as we walked in. They know him so well.

I walk to the bar and Toni immediately slides me a cosmo. “Thank you!” He nods making quick eye contact before he returns to wiping the bar.

Gerry wraps his arm around my waist and kisses me on each cheek. “You really are a vision, Lioness.”

“I love your style,” I admit looking at him. “You’re one snappy dresser.”

“Yes, he likes to dress … expressively.” Marcus walks up running his fingers up and down Gerry’s back. Marcus is dressed more conservatively. “How are you doing Amelia?” he asks as he leans over kissing my cheeks; his tone reminds me of a shrink.

“I’m having a great time.” I sip my cosmo. I really am, I can’t believe this is real. I skim the room, seeing the table prepared for a sit-down meal. Quinton is across the room, smiling at me. He’s really handsome. His smile makes me tingle under my dress.

“I bet you didn’t think you would be partying with us on a yacht when we met.” Gerry grins as he wraps his arm around me. “I told you my boss was great. I just didn’t tell you what a fine-ass man he is.”

“He’s a good man,” Marcus confirms.
