Mason
Mason lugged the second board from the back of his truck. “Aspen, grab the paddles and the life jackets.”
His daughter kept her back to him, peering towards the beach.
“Aspen?”
“Huh?” She flicked her gaze to him quickly before focusing back on the sand.
“The quicker you help me out, the faster we can get over there.”
Aspen climbed into the back of the truck, saving his older knees from the extra strain. She grabbed the oars and life jackets.
“Why’d you grab three life jackets from the garage?” he questioned.
Aspen’s cheeks flushed pink. “Oh, uh. Just in case, I guess.”
“I’ll bring this one and be back for the other board. Follow me with the accessories.” She was thirteen, but he still didn’t like the idea of leaving her without supervision. He’d seen firsthand the depravity of the world.
He tossed her a hat. “You got sunscreen on?”
“Yes.” She rolled her eyes.
Damn, when had that started?
“Don’t want to arrive with my beautiful daughter and leave with a cranky lobster,” he teased, flicking the bill of her cap.
She looked away as if to hide her smile and deadpanned, “Really, Dad?”
He hefted the board over his head and led the way to the sand. There was a rock wall to the right of the beach which was usually covered halfway when the tide was in. Beyond that was more sandy beach and then the woods which led up to Black Cliffs, where some of the teenagers went to jump into the deep sea below—something his daughter would never do if he had anything to say about it.
Mason set the board on the sand and Aspen dropped the paddles and the life jackets.
“You grabbed an adult jacket. Don’t you think it’s gonna be too big on you?”
Aspen was scanning the beach again. “No, I’ll be fine.”
He didn’t worry about it too much. She was a strong swimmer, and he’d be by her side. “Come with me back to the truck to get the other board.”
“Dad, I’ll be fine. You can see me the whole time and I won’t move,” Aspen argued.
He scanned the area around them. Families with young kids digging in the sand littered the beach. A few older teens tossed a Frisbee farther down the shoreline.
“Fine.” He jogged back to the truck and retrieved the last paddleboard, checking on her as he returned.
As soon as he set it down, Aspen took off, waving. His gaze snapped to where she was headed—toward a woman with the most heavenly curvy body. And boy was she showing a lot of it. Gone were the cotton-candy braids. Her hair was twisted into a dark bun on the top of her head, exposing her sun-kissed neck. She had a white swimsuit top with beaded straps tied around her neck. They were so thin, with one pull of the flimsy strands her large breasts would be freed. Her white see-through cover-up danced in the salty sea breeze.
A few inches of her tan tummy were exposed before the high-waisted emerald-green bottoms started. Thick, juicy thighs jiggled with her movements and his cock jerked in his board shorts. It was good to know the thing still worked. It had been so long since he’d been with a woman. But the last thing he needed to do was get a hard-on right now. He averted his gaze back to her face.
Her eyes widened in surprise as Aspen bounded up to her. He couldn’t hear what she was saying from so far away, but Aspen pointed animatedly towards him before she grasped Pippa’s hand. Aspen’s eyes lit up and her smile widened. He hadn’t seen her this excited in . . . a long time.
“Dad! Look who I found,” Aspen said, practically dragging Pippa behind her.
Pippa’s gaze met his before she turned back to his daughter, the golden retriever at her side.
“Hello.” Pippa’s voice was shy, but she held her head high with confidence.
It took every last bit of his self-control to not let his eyes drop down her figure and drink in every inch of her luscious curves. He gritted his teeth and nodded.
