“I remember that. You looked annoyed before you gave the camera to Reid. I just thought you were being broody like always.” Needing him to get to the point, I questioned, “Why is that a favorite memory of yours?”
My stomach dropped when he declared, “It was the first time I stopped seeing you as Haven’s best friend and saw you as a woman.”
I lightly gasped, trying to keep my emotions in check.
“That’s why I gave the camera over to Reid. I couldn’t hide behind it, which is kind of ironic, considering it feels like I’ve been hiding from everyone for the past twenty years. No one knows who I am, Cove. Nobody knows the things I’ve done or what I’m capable of.”
“That’s not true,” I stated. “I know you.”
“You don’t know everything about me.”
“So then tell me. What are you hiding from?”
He looked away, breaking our connection. “Let’s just enjoy your birthday.”
I reluctantly let it go because he grabbed my hand and led me to the hammock. In one swift movement, he laid me on his chest to play with my hair and back.
It was perfect.
He was perfect.
We stayed there with me in his arms for a while. No words were needed.
About an hour later, he stated, “I have one last surprise for you.”
I looked up at her, nuzzling his face. “Can I have a hint?” When I felt his breath on my neck, I tingled all over.
In one quick breath, he rasped, “I’m going to make you wet.”
My breathing hitched, and my thighs clenched. Of course, he noticed. He grinned against my skin with my heart suddenly beating a mile a minute in the anticipation of what was to come from him.
Especially after what I requested earlier that day.
Was he going to give me what I wanted?
He pulled me off the hammock, leading us to a dock that had a Jet Ski by it.
“You didn’t?”
He wickedly grinned, and it was becoming my favorite expression of his. This man was frustrating and charming all at once.
“You want to go for a ride?”
I fervently nodded as excitement took hold of my entire body. This wasn’t the wet I wanted, but it was a start.

I was doing this for her, but I was also doing it for myself. For the first time since Hope, I was happy. Given our circumstances, it didn’t make any sense, but I was beginning to understand that maybe we needed one another more than I cared to admit. The look on her face was worth everything I did for her that day.
The crazy thing about it was that I’d willingly give her whatever she wanted to see that expression for the rest of my life.
What was happening to me?
To her?
To us?
I shook away the emotions, focusing on driving the Jet Ski instead. We drove around for hours, laughing.
Smiling.
Truly living in the moment.
Once we were near the bridge, I drove up onto the sand.
“I want to drive.”
Before I could tell her no, she straddled my lap.
“I thought you wanted to drive.”
“I do.”
The minx began rocking her pussy against my cock, and I didn’t falter. Gripping the back of her neck, I kissed her as she continued to dry fuck me on the Jet Ski.
Never in a million years did I expect what happened next.
She pushed me back, quickly jumping off my lap to run under the bridge giggling.
“What are you doing?”
“Taking what I want like you should.”
Before I could contemplate what she meant, she turned with her back facing me and started untying her top.
Nice and slow.
At first, I thought she was toying with me. Readily showing me how wrong I was. Little by little, I crumpled to the ground while she revealed more of her creamy bare skin. I devoured every inch of her flesh as she exposed herself to me. Giving her control was my first mistake.
I tried not to gawk, but fuck me… I couldn’t help it.
From the back of her thighs, I drank her in as she dropped her top into the sandy water under the bridge. Her narrow, slender waist was just as arousing, rendering me fucking speechless. I was consumed by the fact that I was the first man ever to see her this way.
Only making me want her that much more.
She shook out her long blond hair, and it cascaded all the way down her back. I licked my lips, my mouth suddenly becoming dry. The minute she cupped her tits, I knew I was done for.
There would be no coming back from this.
From her.
From us.
Her tantalizing bright-blue eyes glanced back at me over her shoulder, and I couldn’t gather a fucking thought. She was stunning, with her hair flowing loosely around her gorgeous face. Although it was her eyes that captured my attention the most. I’d seen Cove in all forms.
