Gia followed me as I set the box in the kitchen galley and turned on the air. “Does someone drive it for you?”
“Sometimes, but I wanted to be alone today. You can help me drive to the cove, and then we’ll anchor for a bit.” It was the only destination I had in mind. I wanted her focus on me.
Gia relaxed even more, and I liked to think that she enjoyed spending time with me. She moved around the room, touching the wood. “I bet you impress women with this baby.”
It was large and comfortable, with several levels to enjoy. There was a large master bedroom that I hoped we’d get to experience today, but I didn’t want her to think this was a regular occurrence for me. “You’re the first.”
Her wide gaze met mine. “Are you serious?”
“The yacht is my baby, and it’s my time to relax. I don’t bring dates here.” I moved closer, her chin lifting so her gaze could remain connected with mine. “Until you.”
“Does that mean I’m special?”
“It’s whatever you want it to mean. I like spending time with you, and I wanted to share my favorite thing with you.”
“Wow. You sure know how to smooth-talk a woman.”
“Everything with you is natural. I never could control my reaction to you.”
She finally nodded as I leaned down to steal a kiss. I loved having her near, kissing and touching her whenever I felt like it. I had a feeling she wouldn’t be so free with affection when we were around others, so I wanted to take advantage of her relative comfort when we were alone.
“Let me get things ready so we can get out on the water.”
“I can’t wait.”
Hope bloomed in my chest that I’d finally found someone who was not only a match for me but could be that soft place for me to land too. I never thought I wanted a relationship, but Gia was making me rethink everything.
“Relax while I get everything ready.”
She pulled her book out of her bag. “I can read?”
“There’s a hammock on the front end of the boat.”
Her eyes lit up as she went on deck to search for it, and I enjoyed the view of her ass cheeks peeking out of those cutoffs. I adjusted myself before focusing on the task of preparing the boat for the day. When I was finished, I called one of the staff members from the marina to untie the lines from the dock.
When we were sailing out of the marina, Gia moved out of the hammock and into the cockpit.
I slung an arm over her shoulder. “You enjoy the hammock?”
She cradled her paperback against her chest. “It was amazing. I could lie there all day.”
I tucked her into my side and kissed her temple. “Feel free.”
She rested her head on my chest and didn’t move away from me. I took the opportunity to explain the various things we saw as we traveled toward the cove.
“I love hearing about the history of the area.”
“I always wonder what the story is for every family that lives inside.” There were large homes lining the shore.
She rested a palm on my chest and looked up at me. “Are they rich? Do they live here all the time, or is it a vacation home?”
I loved being close to her, breathing in her flowery scent and wondering if this could be an everyday thing. “I’d love to know.”
She smiled mischievously. “You can make it up. That could be fun too.”
I pointed at a particularly sizeable house with a large deck and patio. To get to the dock, you needed to move down a big hill. “What about that one?”
She tapped her chin with her finger. “Mmm. The dad is an attorney at one of the big firms in Baltimore. The family summers here, and he comes for a week when he can.”
