“Well, you know he always travels with his pig friends.” She looks at Amelia. “Trek can’t get a girl interested in him; he’s a man slut. So be prepared to be gawked at. He knows we’re married and off the market.”

“She’s off the market,” I confirm. “Let’s not mention marital status as a reason, either.” I look at them all. “He’ll have a blast spreading the news of Quinton Starks being with a married woman.” I watch Amelia drop her eyes as she walks to the upper deck. “Shit.”

“Smooth Quinton,” Tina barks as she follows her.

“I didn’t mean it like that,” I hiss as I follow the ladies. Michael and Andy laugh. “I didn’t want him running his mouth,” I growl at them.

“We know, it’s funny; you’re finally going to see how it feels when our women get mad at us.” Michael laughs. “You’ve never been on this end with us.”

I walk up, looking for her. She’s nibbling on finger foods the chef prepared on the sideboard. Tina is with her. The pesky steward is standing in the corner. He sees me and stiffens. I must have a broody look about me.

“Finding anything you like?” I tease as I walk up behind her. Tina cuts me a dirty look. “Don’t look at me like that Tina, I meant I wanted him to know Amelia’s with me and that’s why she’s off the market.”

Amelia looks at me. “I’m with you Mr. Starks.” She kisses me on the cheek as she continues filling her plate. Good she’s not mad. “I’m not married. I am very much off the market. We got it.”Shit,she’s mad. Tina smirks.

I sigh, shaking my head. “Amelia you’re being harsh.”

“I like her,” Tierra chimes cutting me a smart look. “She’s teasing you,” she whispers as she walks by.

“Fine, fine if he comes on to you, tell him you’re married.” I mosey around the table getting a plate. “I won’t interfere with his flirtatious ways. He’ll just think you’re tagging along with girls.”

“Do as you wish Mr. Starks,” Amelia teases, “I’m not intending to converse with him. If you don’t want him to know we’re together, that’s your choice.” She blows a kiss at me as she sits down. Toni grins, bringing her a fresh cosmo and me a gin.

I fix my plate and sit down on the sofa. Trek and his two goons are grinning when they hit the upper deck. “Quinton, thanks for inviting us aboard.” He’s looking at Amelia as he talks to me. “Tierra and Tina.” They give him the typical ‘fuck off we’re not interested in you’ girl look.

I’m not going to play … he comes on to her, I’ll fix it. “Help yourselves, Toni will make you a drink.” I look at Amelia and she smiles. I don’t like her being curt with me.

I scoot beside her. “I don’t play games,” I whisper to her. “I’m madly into you.”

“I don’t want to play either Mr. Starks,” she whispers kissing my cheek. She looks like a damn goddess, sitting on her hip, relaxing into me, her fingers toying with my hair. “Tina said you shouldn’t be so cold.”

I wrap my arm around her. “I wasn’t trying to sound cold.” I look down her body. “I didn’t want that kind of news to get out—believe me it would.” I know she doesn’t appreciate the comment in its entirety, but once she discovers my status, she’ll get it.

She looks at my eyes. “I didn’t think anything of your comment, other than I hate having that title. It’s just a legal document. It’s not where my heart is.” Damn she’s beautiful. I know I look like a lovesick dog grinning at her.

I look up as Trek is taking a seat. “You remember Todd and Sean.”

“Yep.” I nod at them as I take a sip of gin. “You heading back to the Hamptons?”

“Yeah, got some dealings in New York next week.” I watch him studying the situation on the couch in front of him. “Have you been to your place in the Hamptons lately?”

“No! My sister and her husband visited a few weeks ago.” I smile at Amelia as I rub her knee. She’s looking at me, smiling, but I can see she’s surprised about my place in the Hamptons.

“I didn’t realize you were dating anyone, that kind of news you would expect to hear about.” And here it begins. I look at him. He’s grinning as he’s watching me stroke her leg.

“Yes, we’ve been keeping it on the down low, so if you don’t mind helping us out that would be great!” Amelia interjects. She leans over sucking my bottom lip. “I’m going to tan, lover.” Oh, hell my cock is about to burst.

“She’s hot,” Trek barks craning his neck checking her out as she walks by the bar grabbing her cosmo. “You serious about this one?”

“You have no idea,” Andy chimes, taking his seat.

“I see your boy Gerry is laying with the ladies.” Todd laughs. I glare at him—I will beat his ass if he smarts about Gerry’s status.

“Yes, our ladies love Gerry and Marcus,” Michael barks back. I feel like I’m about to get into a pissing contest.

AMELIA

Oh my god I can’t believe I pulled sultry off like that. I guess Quinton Starks makes the sexy come out in me. I look up as Gerry is panting. “I wish I could have seen that dick dweeb’s face.”
