As we take a seat on the sun loungers, I can’t help but feel like I might be okay to stay. I could enjoy the sun for another eleven days and just relax.

I just need to ignore the fact my sister is on the same boat.

I can do that.

I can.

CHAPTER NINE

Mark

The sun beats down on me, warming my flesh as I carry my niece to the bigger pool. I throw her up into the air, giving her what she’s been begging me to do since we parted with her parents. Hearing her laugh as she splashes into the pool is a welcome delight and so worth the bollocking I’m going to get from my mum. I jump in after her, chuckling when she brushes the water out of her face. Her smile is so wide it’s contagious, and I can’t help but smile with her.

Bailey and Aiden went back to their cabin for an hour over an hour ago. Whilst they never announced what they were doing, it was obvious. Before Mum and Dad could steal Sunday away, I offered to play in the pool with her since Lily and Jaxon were inside, keeping Rose out of the sun.

It’s very rare I get moments like this with Sunday lately and I miss her. It took ages for Aiden to let one of us hold her as a baby, and even longer for us to watch her whilst he was out. Then I got so busy with the extra work I took on, I barely had time to see her before it was her bedtime.

She’s freaking cute with her bright pink life jacket and florescent green swimming costume. The ship has a little splash pool for the younger kids inside, but once she got bored of being in there, she demanded to come to the big pool.

“Again!” she demands, smacking the water.

Feeling someone staring at me, I glance to the sun loungers and find Mum watching me. She shakes her head in warning, killing my fun.

“Maybe later, squirt,” I reply.

“Come on, Sunday, it’s time to get you dried off,” Mum orders.

“Can’t we have five more minutes?” I ask, clutching my niece to my chest. Maybe if my mum sees all the cuteness, she’ll take pity on me.

She glowers down at me with that mum stare, and I shudder, feeling like a teenager all over again. “She needs some more sunscreen on, and she didn’t have lunch,” Mum points out.

I lick my lips at the mention of food. It’s well after lunch time and I’ve not eaten anything since breakfast. “Did you get me something?”

She rolls her eyes. “Of course I did.”

“Come on, Squirt, we are going to grab some grub.”

Sunday pouts. “No swim?”

“We can swim later.”

“Wove you.”

My lips tug up into a smile. “Love you too, bug.”

I lift her out of the pool, where Mum immediately unclasps her life jacket and wraps her in a towel.

I heft myself up out of the water, when I hear a gasp. I glance over to see my neighbour drop her book, her gaze on me. I should look away, but for the life of me I can’t. She has on a white bikini, the cups on the top pushing her generous cleavage together, but it’s that fucking arse that has me wanting to jump back into the pool before I embarrass myself. It’s perfectly round. She’s just as gifted in the arse department as she is the tits.

Before I can get caught staring, I turn away, gulping. There is no way I’m going to imagine fucking her. But now the thought is in my head, I picture her on all fours, her arse bouncing as I drill into her.

“You okay?” Mum asks.

I shake myself out of it. “Um, yeah.”

I glance back over at my neighbour, and for a moment, I think about going over and asking if she’s okay after what we all witnessed this morning.

It’s so screwed up what’s been done to her. Only Liam and Aiden have fucked the same girl before, but even they were weirded out by it when it became known. I can’t imagine sleeping with anyone who has fucked a family member, let alone a sibling.
