“Yeah.” He grins, kissing the tip of my nose. “Wanna go for a swim?”
That has me perking up. “Yeah.”
We head out into the backyard and into the pool house. We used to spend so much time here, even after Collin left, that I had my own swimsuit tucked away in a drawer.
As I hold it in my hand, knowing there's no way this is going to fit me. It’s been a few years since I’ve been here and I’ve grown. Mostly in breast size and this top is not going to cover anything. I’m sure Collin would love that.
“Sadie.” I look up in time to catch the bag Collin throws at me.
“What’s this?” I ask, then open the bag to find a black bikini. I grin, looking up at Collin with a raised brow. “For me?”
He chuckles, stalking toward me as he pulls off his shirt. Swallowing hard, my eyes trail over his body, taking in every inch of his delicious skin. “Keep looking at me like that, Sunshine, and we’re not going to get much swimming done.”
“You’re making it hard.” I blink a few times and look up at his eyes. “You know how hot you are.”
“Maybe.” He grins, his hands going for his belt. “But why don’t you remind me.”
My eyes drop again, heat forming in my belly as he takes his pants off so he’s standing there naked.
“Fucking hell,” I mutter under my breath. He laughs, the fucker laughs, as I pout when he pulls on swim trunks.
“Don’t worry, baby, I still plan on being inside you at some point tonight, but how about we actually hang out and do couple things. Or am I only good for sex?”
My eyes widen. “What?” I rush out. “No, no, of course not. I love you, Collin. I don’t want you just for sex. I don’t even care if we have sex. I just want you.”
“Hey, hey.” He chuckles as he walks towards me. “I was only teasing.” He cups my face, thumbs brushing my cheekbones ashe leans down and kisses me deeply. I sigh, leaning into his touch. I can’t get enough of this man.
“I love you too, Sunshine,” he murmurs against my lips. “I’ve missed you so damn much.”
“I’ve missed you too. Knowing you’re in the school, and I can’t see you sucks.”
“I know. But it won’t be forever.” He kisses me again. “How are things going with Declan?”
I smile as I think about my kind, sweet man. “Good. There’s been whispers around the school, of course. You know, something like being one of the most powerful families and breaking off an arranged marriage would be the hot gossip around the school.”
His eyes search mine. “No one’s been giving you a hard time about it, have they?” Collin asks, voice low and dangerous like he would be ready to attack anyone who has.
So I shake my head. “No. Just whispers. That's about it.” I don’t tell him about Tina. I’ve been staying away from her. There’s no point in worrying the guys. Sure, I’m on guard everywhere I’m on campus, but that’s something I should be doing anyway. You never know who might want to start something with me.
Yes, Sadie, because living in fear is so normal.
“Get this on. I wanna swim. Then we can order in some greasy pizza, watch a movie, and snuggle.”
“You know what?” I smile, biting my lip. “That actually sounds pretty perfect to me.”
I’m not the kind of girl who needs lavish dates or to be wined and dined. And I don’t need to be spoiled with expensive gifts. All I need is to be around them, to spend time with my man... or men. What I do doesn’t matter, it’s who I do it with that does.
Collin watches me as I change into the bikini. Honestly, it’s not that much more coverage than the one I had here already. I feel like that's the point for him, though. My perv.
Not that I don’t enjoy his eyes on my body or the way his fingers trail along my skin as he slowly ties everything up for me.
“All done,” Collin’s voice is thick and husky, making me shiver. My nipples are hard peaks, my breathing labored. I’m only able to breathe when he takes a step back from me.
When I turn to face him, he has this cocky-ass smirk on his devilishly handsome face.
“What’s that look for?” I ask.
“I just love how much I affect you, Sunshine,” he chuckles, closing the distance between us again. “It’s a major boost to my ego.”
