Fair Lakes Series Box Set - Kaylee Ryan Page 0,67

his trademark cocky grin back in place. “We ready to hit the water?” he asks, clapping his hands together and defusing the weird tension that settled over everyone.

Harrison steps behind the wheel as Chase releases the ropes from the dock. Within a few minutes, we’re settled in seats and heading out of the small marina on the lake. I can already see tons of boats littering the large lake, ensuring the waters will be busy today. We’ll spend our day putting around, enjoying the sun, and swimming by a few of the sandbars around the waterway. Some of the bigger, faster boats will spend the day tubing, but that’s never really been my thing.

When we reach our first stop, everyone gets ready for a dip in the warm lake. Gina lost her cover-up pretty much the moment we left the dock and Chase seems to be enjoying the view. She’s eating up the attention he’s throwing her way, flirting and touching each other from the opposite side of the boat. Gabby and Roman remain in the back, and the few times I glanced her way, she seemed to be throwing eye-daggers at her friend and not paying Roman an ounce of attention, even though his hands are all over her.

Interesting…

As Harrison drops anchor, I quickly grab the sunscreen that I didn’t get to put on earlier. I lather up my legs and feet, knowing my pale skin will burn if I don’t, and add a little to my arms and face. I remove my blue cover-up, exposing the black and gold swimsuit underneath. A hiss pulls my attention to my right.

“Jesus, Winnie, how am I not supposed to have a fucking hard-on all day with you in that?” Harrison growls, taking the empty seat beside me. His hands instantly fall to my stomach as his lips softly caress mine. “Let me help with the sunblock.”

I turn to give him my back as he squirts a large blob into his hands and starts to rub it on my skin. My body starts to heat as desire races through my veins. There’s something almost magical about having his hands on my body. Maybe it’s the fact that we’ve done nothing but cuddle over the last two weeks or perhaps the extra hormones in my body, but this dangerous and definite need I feel consumes me. Suddenly, it’s all I can think about. All I want.

And the cuddling? Well, we’ve both been so exhausted and by the time we snuggle on the couch, I’m falling asleep in his arms.

“Are you being naughty, Winnie?” he whispers in my ear, the warmth of his breath caressing my lobe. If he were to kiss me behind the ear right now, I’m sure to burst into flames.

His large hands continue to work their way down my back and eventually around my waist. He squats in front of me and grabs the bottle once more. With his eyes locked solely on mine, he applies sunscreen to my abdomen. His fingers tease the waistband of my bottoms and then dip under the cups of the tops. My entire body is an electric wire, alive and fully charged, and the worst part is, he knows it. His eyes burn with desire, much like mine, as he watches the way I respond to his touch.

Leaning forward, he whispers, “I’m going to let you rub down your chest, angel. If I touch you there, I’m going to end up taking you right here in the middle of the boat deck and I’m sure that’s not the memory you want to give our family and friends.” Harrison sweeps a gentle kiss across my lips, and then quickly backs away. Of course, there’s no mistaking the way he hides what’s happening in his pants from the rest of the boat.

“Hey, Harrison, need some ice, buddy?” Chase teases loudly, drawing everyone’s attention. He’s putting the stairs over the edge, wearing nothing but his trunks and a smile.

“Fuck off,” Harrison growls and continues to gaze out at the lake, willing his hard-on to subside.

Within the next few minutes, everyone is ready to jump in the water and enjoy the day of fun and relaxation. Though, I’m not sure how much relaxation will happen when you add in all the sexual tension that seems to be on the boat with us.

This trip just got very interesting.

“Are you fucking kidding me right now?” Harrison bellows into the phone. He’s been pacing back and forth across the living room
