“Wonder what your Sarah would think about your opinion about my ass.”
He kept his gaze and smile on her. “I don’t wonder at all.”
“Well, Idamnsure wouldn’t put up with that.”
“Noted.”
She nodded, putting her elbows on her knees. “Noted,” she muttered.
“Thank you for being so sweet to Becky by the way. Are you trying to win points with me?”
She snapped her head at him. “Why are you baiting me? I’m not nice to people for points.”
“You’re fun to bait. You bite so hard on each one I throw at you.”
“Maybe I’ll bite for real if you keep it up.”
“Okay,” he said, pulling into a covered cove.
The motor shut off and she looked around. “This it?”
“No. This is a place I wanted to show you. And I would bite you back.”
Her heart pounded at the sudden serious look on his face.
“Turn and look behind you.”
She did and gasped then turned more. The trees all around them flashed with hundreds of green lights.
“Some call them fireflies, some call them green-light fairies.”
“It’s so…pretty.”
“Yeah,” he said.
Lord he was right at her shoulder, voice all soft at her ear while the swamp insects screamed all around them. Her pulse hammered. If she turned her head, his face would be right there. Oh God he smelled amazing.
“What would you say if I asked to add you to my list?”
She turned a little and he didn’t move from where he was, putting their faces inches apart. “What…list?”
“My dating list.”
His gaze lowered to her mouth now sputtering out sounds. “What does that mean?”
“It means I want to date you.”
“I’m…when?”
“After I fulfill my first three date obligations. I promised my Grand Pier I would do that.”
She stared at him and he stared at her. “You want me to wait to date you while you finish dating three other women?”
He reached up and slid his fingers along her hair. “Yes.”
“And… exactly how long will I be… pining away?”
“I just need one date with them.”
