Excerpt
Garret swims over and stands up right behind me, placing his hands on
the edge of the pool around my head. He’s so close I can feel his warm breath
on my neck and it sends a shiver down me.
“When are you gonna admit I’m a better swimmer than you?”
“Never.” I flip around and let go of the pool, quickly grabbing his
shoulders so I don’t sink since I’m too short to touch the bottom. But now my
legs are dangling awkwardly and I’m having a hard time holding myself up. Garret
notices and casually puts his arms around me, pulling our bodies
together.
My heart is beating wildly but I try to keep my breath steady to hide
it. “When are you gonna admit I’m a better runner than you?”
“I’ve already admitted that. I’ve told you that several times. I’ll
say it again. You’re a better runner than me. Now do you have anything to say
to me?”
“Hmm.” I pretend to think. “Nope. Nothing.”
He smiles. “You just can’t give me a compliment, can you?”
“I give you compliments all the time!” I wrap my legs around his
waist. He doesn’t even react.
“Like what? Because if you gave me one, I totally missed it.”
“I don’t know, but I’m sure I’ve given you one.”
“I’m sure you haven’t.” He keeps his eyes on mine, barely blinking.
“I told you how much I liked those lights you gave me for my birthday.
That was kind of a compliment.”
“Not really.” He slides his hands down under my thighs, supporting my
weight. It allows me to loosen my grip on his shoulders but it also makes me
completely breathless. “Jade, is there anything I do that you like? Anything
you think I’m good at?”
I know what he’s implying and yes, there are many things he does that
I like. And he’s definitely good at them. Like the way he’s holding me right
now? Definitely good.
Before I can speak, he slowly licks the water from my lips until they
part, then slips his tongue in my mouth. I wrap my hands behind his neck as his
tongue explores my mouth in a way that gets my body so scorching hot that even
the water can’t cool me down.
After a few incredible, mind-blowing minutes, he slowly pulls
away.
“Do you like it when I do that?” There’s that cocky smile I know and
love.
I smile back. “I’ll admit you’re pretty good at that.”
“Finally! A compliment.” He lets me go, forcing me to grab the edge of
the pool. He sets himself up in the lane next to me like he’s preparing to swim
laps.
“Hey, where are you going?”
“I have to practice.”
“So we’re just done here?”
“We haven’t even been on a date. I was only kissing you because I was
trying to find something you thought I was good at. And I did. So we’re done.”
He takes off swimming, leaving me wanting more. Much, much more.
