“I’ her words She s, anyway”

Her body was covered in goose bumps, but it was the hard nubs of her s behind her scant bikini top that drew his gaze

And held it

He watched in inescapable fascination as the wet lycra of her swihtened into fine points

“Sebastian…” The husky desire mixed with confusion in her voice was a potent aphrodisiac

She wanted him and didn’t knohat to do with that need What man would not be drawn by that co?

She did notincreased to pants, further revealing arousal so unfamiliar to her Her s white

“Why is that I wonder?”

“Maybe because I don’t play”

“Everybody plays”

“Not me”

“Then I suppose I’ll have to teach you how”

His s he would like to teach her And not a single one of the in the water

“You’re doing it again”

She laughed as she kicked out of his now lax hold When she was several feet closer to the shore, she stopped and faced him, her chin just above the waterline “What does that mean? The look”

“I…” He didn’t knohat to say to diffuse the situation Sure as certain not the truth

She took another couple of steps backward so the water wasn’t so deep around her Her head ed to one side and she looked at hi the way she expected She started chewing on that way-too-kissable, full lower lip of hers again
