Never Too Far(39)

"I want you to ride me," he said, kissing me again while his erection slipped between my legs and teased me.

I pushed him back and he easily rolled over for me so I could climb on top. Watching him as he slowly took in my body was more of a turn on than the naughty words he always whispered in my ears to make me come.

I could love this man and be happy with him the rest of my life. I just hoped I got the chance.

The next few days went by like a fairy tale. I went to work. Rush showed up and distracted me with his gorgeous presence; we ended up somewhere we shouldn't be having wild sex before actually going back to my condo or his house and making love in a bed. The second time was always sweet. The first time was always intense and needy on both our parts. I was pretty sure Woods had overheard us the day we'd ended up in the rental closet tearing at each other's clothes.

I was still trying to decide if this was the pregnancy hormones or if I was always going to want Rush like this. One touch from him and I was desperate. Today however we would be on a break. I was working all day at the annual golf tournament. I'd had to fight both Woods and Rush to let me work today. Neither of them had thought it was safe. I, of course, won.

Our cart girl outfits were special ordered for today. We would be wearing all white like the golfers.Our shorts were replaced with skirts to match ourpolos. Except, of course, for Jimmy. He'd be in shorts. He was the only male on the drink carts today. Apparently, he'd also been special ordered.

"There are fifteen teams. Blaire you get the first threeteams. Then Bethy you have the next three. Carmen you get the next three. Natalie you get the next three and Jimmy you get the last three. They're all women who have requested you specifically. This will be an all day event. Keep the golfers happy and don't run low on drinks. Come back here to restock before you run out of something. Your carts have been pre-stocked with the drinks of choice for the golfers you will be trailing today. You each have a walkie-talkie in your cart to contact me in case of any emergency. Does anyone have any questions?" Darla stood on the porch of the course offices with her hands on her hips staring down at the five of us.

"Good. Now get to your places. Blaire will be busy right off the bat. The rest of you need to wait on and check on your teams while they're waiting to tee off. If they want a drink get them one. If they want food, get them a server. Got it?"

We all nodded. Darla waved us off and went back into the offices.

"I hate tournaments. I just hope I don't have to deal with Nathan Ford. He is so damn annoying," Bethy grumbled as we went to get our carts and make sure we had everything before heading to the first hole.

"Maybe you'll get Jace," I said, hoping to cheer her up.

Bethy frowned. "Nope. Not a chance. Aunt Darla did the line up. She won't have given me Jace."

Ah. Well, in that case I wouldn't have Rush either. Probably a good thing. I needed to focus on work. Not how good Rush looked in a pair of shorts and a polo.

I parked the cart at the first hole and went to meet my first group. It was familiar faces and they were an older group. They would be easy enough and they were excellent tippers. After getting them all a bottle of water I went to my next group. Surprisingly it was Jace, Thad and Woods. I hadn't expected to have them in my group. "Hello boys. Aren't I the lucky one?" I teased.

"I was sure we'd get Bethy. Dayum, my day is just now getting better," Thad replied.

"Shut up," Jace grumbled and elbowed him in the side.

"I'm not stupid enough to let Bethy have Jace. She'd ignore everyone else," Woods explained.

I gave all three of them a bottle of water. "I'm happy to serve the three of you. Even if I'm not Bethy," I said, smiling at Jace.

"If I can't have Bethy you are definitely my runner-up," Jace said with a crooked grin. I couldn't help but like the guy. He'd more than proved himself with his feelings for Bethy.

"Good. Now, y'all make me proud," I cheered as I headed to the next group. This was my first female group. I recognized them but I wasn't sure exactly who they were. I thought the tall elegant blondemight be the Mayor's wife.

After I got them their sparkling waters and slices of lime I headed back to the front. It was almost time to start. I glanced back and looked for Rush but didn't see him. I wasn't sure whose team he was on but I knew he was playing. I assumed Grant would be with him but I didn't see him either.

Chapter 29

Rush

I was going to murder Grant in his sleep. Or maybe right here in public with witnesses. I slammed my clubs down and the caddie quickly grabbed them which was a good thing. I was getting ready to throw something.

"Meg? Really Grant? You asked Meg?" I growled, looking past Grant to see Meg checking in and pointing our way.

"We needed three. You pissed off Nan so we were short a person. Everyone else was taken. Meg wanted to play. What's the big deal?" Grant handed his bag to the caddie and shot me an annoyed look.

Blaire was the big deal. I hadn't told her that Meg would be on my team because I hadn't known. Now if she saw us she'd think I was trying to keep it from her. I needed to find her.

"Can I get you three a water?" a redheaded cart girl whose name I couldn't remember asked. Figured Woods wouldn't let me have Blaire. That would have helped. I could have explained this to her and she'd been able to see it was completely innocent.

"Yes, please, Carmen," Grant replied. He was flashing her a grin and she was batting her eyelashes. He'd probably slept with this one. If not, he would be tonight. "Give one to grumpy pants too. He needs to hydrate himself," Grant joked.

"Ready to kick some ass?" Meg asked, walking up to us.
