He laughs. “Just telling the truth.”

“I like the fact I turn you on.”

“Especially in a bathing suit,” he mutters into my neck. “Which you don’t need, by the way.”

“Or naked in the hotel robe.”

I pull at the strings on the back of my bikini top and at the neck where it falls down.

“You sure this isn’t going too fast for you?” He says, twirling his tongue around on my neck and then finding my lips again. His hands reach up from out of the water to take hold of my breasts, which seems to be his new favorite thing.

“It’s going just at the right pace,” I breathe as he dips his head and I lift my chest up out of the water so he can suckle me. His other hand slides down to my ass cheek to cup it. “I’m ready for more, Ty.”

“Babe?” He pulls back to look at me, his hand sliding down the back of my bikini bottoms.

I bite my lip and nod. “I want you so bad.”

“I want you too.”

“And we’ve got all night,” I sigh into his touch, melting under his expert strokes. I want to give him all of me and come what may with the consequences. “Whatever happens after this we can deal with, Ty. We’ve got each other.”

He looks up at me and smiles. “You make everything better,” he whispers.

CHAPTER 20

Tyler

Feeling her soft bare skin under my hands is like nothing else on earth. And I don’t even know if I deserve it. There's been a gray cloud hanging over me since I spoke to Stacey, and I know I need to tell Cindy. I just need the facts first.

I need to see my ex and work out what we’re going to do from here.

I feel like an ass not giving Cindy the details, but there’s no way I intend to keep this from her. I am going to need her input. What if Stacey is serious and does want to adopt the baby out? I don’t know much about the situation right now, other than what she told me, but I know I don’t want that to happen.

I can’t let it happen.

How in the hell I would care for a baby if it comes down to it is anyone’s guess.

But I’ll have to find a way to figure it out. Stacey hasn’t exactly left me with any choice.

And maybe it’s wrong being with Cindy right now, when my head is so full, but she chases away the dark clouds hanging over me. I meant it when I said she makes everything better. Her soothing words put me at ease, and I feel like I can tackle anything.

For the time we’re here I need to focus on her and deal with what’s waiting for me when I get back to Seattle.

“You’re an angel,” I say, smoothing her hair from her eyes. “I don’t know if I deserve it.”

“That’s where you’re wrong.”

She might not be saying that if she knew what was going on with me right now.

“I just know I’ve never felt this way, Cind. You know I’m happy to wait, and do whatever it takes.”

“I don’t want to wait,” she breathes, reaching forwards to kiss me softly. “I want you to touch me, Ty.”

“More than I’m doing now?” I whisper, clutching her bare ass cheek.

“Yes, I need you to touch me even more.”

I trail my spare hand up to her hip as she presses her tits into my chest, holding onto me for dear life. I need to make sure she’s ready for me to do that, so I remove my hand from her butt cheek and brush my palm over both of her perky nipples.
