She nodded her head in acknowledgment. “I’m so glad you reached out today. I’ve missed taking this beauty out, and of course, I’ve missed you as well.”

“I missed you too.”

“Smart-looking fellow you have there.”

I blushed, kissed Sarah on the cheek, and headed to meet Parks on deck.

“I’m thoroughly impressed,” Parker said as he watched me cast my line.

“Yeah? With what?”

“Your fishing skills, that’s what. You didn’t tell me you’re a seasoned angler.”

“I’m not,” I said as I laughed. I couldn’t help it with the way he was looking at me. His eyes were big, and he was genuine about what he was talking about.

We laughed often as the day progressed, enjoying the afternoon of fishing; we stopped after we each caught two fish. We didn’t want to catch too many and waste them.

Parker reapplied sunscreen on my back; with every touch, my skin came to life and tingled under his hands. As he rubbed the lotion in, he leaned in and kissed my neck, moving from side to side. The fish had long been dropped off to Franklin to clean and filet and every nerve in my body screamed to be touched. I took Parks’ hand and led him to the primary cabin. Once inside, with the door securely locked, I pushed him against the door and devoured his mouth. I was hungry for him, soI led him into the bathroom and turned on the huge shower. His face was a mixture of shock and excitement as he predicted what would come next, but the shock came from the size of the shower. I laughed. “I told you, we could almost live on this vessel.”

“Yeah, no kidding.”

“Take your clothes off.”

It was his turn to laugh. “Anything you want,” he said, letting his trunks drop to the floor once he untied the front.

I led him into the shower, naked. He instantly became excited as he watched me get in and the water ran down my body. I moved him to where I stood, under the water, while I put liquid soap on a bath cloth. The water was cool and refreshing; as it ran down over his body, I started to wash it with the bath cloth, then did the same with shampoo in his hair. Standing on my tiptoes, I lathered and caressed while I kissed his sweet mouth feverishly. Not worrying about the water on our faces or the soap, he returned the favor once his hair was rinsed.

Washing my long hair proved to be more of a challenge for him. However, he was up for it as he softly did it with slow, circular motions and a growl escaped my throat. He kissed my breasts, licked them, and teased them with his tongue.

With urgency and desire, I lifted myself off the tile floor and wrapped my legs around him. Parker backed me into the tile wall, kissing me, his hands under my ass guiding me.

Panting heavily, trying to slow our breathing and heart rates down, we continued to wash each other’s bodies in silence, taking our time and appreciating the beauty of each other.

Now dry and dressed for our evening tooling around in the water, we went up a deck to the galley, hoping to start appetizers if the fish wasn’t ready yet.

Happy to see we were alone, and the fish had been cut, we started taking out the ingredients to fix the tacos.

The sun had yet to set. “Let’s hurry so we can go up on deck to watch the sunset,” I said as I handed him the breadcrumbs.

“Sounds perfect; it should only take a few minutes to bread these and make them up,” he offered as he went to work preparing the tacos. Lightly breading the Grouper, he handed them over to me, and I pan-seared them while he made slaw salad to toss on top of the fish in the taco shells.

Cleaning up as I went, there was little left to do but carry a bottle of wine and the tacos to the upper deck and watch the sunset.

After eating the fish tacos, I took our dishes and ran them back to the galley. I returned right before sunset with an open bottle of champagne, a dish of chocolate-covered strawberries, and a smile. Surprised, Liv got up to help me by grabbing the two champagne flutes. We set everything on the table, and I wrapped my arms around her while kissing her. “This has been the best day I can remember in a long time.”

I brushed a strand of hair from her face and tucked it behind her ear. “It has been for me, too. I have something for you; have a seat.”

Looking curious, Liv sat down; I handed her a glass of bubbly and fed her a strawberry. She loved the combination and said how delicious it was. I sat beside her and handed her a long, skinny box; she looked at it in surprise as she opened it. In the box lay the most delicate silver necklace. “Oh, Parker, I’ve never seen something so dainty and beautiful,” she said as she took it from the box and lightly held it in her hand. Looking up at me, her mouth hung slightly open; a single tear escaped and rolled down her cheek. I reached up to wipe the tear with my finger.

“Parks, it’s beautiful. You shouldn’t have.”

I cleared my throat; I was choked up that she was so humble. “These last few days have been the best days of my life. I think I’m falling in love with you. No, I don’t think; I know I love you.”
