Em’sboys are ready to hit the water, so I put Kenny’s water wings on. I’m surprised to find Lachlan seems quite relaxed at the beach, even though there’s quite a crowd. Emma said he enjoys the beach—the sand and water calms him.

Holding Kenny’s hand, we wait for Em to take off her coverup wrap. As she loosens the tie on the side, I catch a glimpse of a red halter strap. Herhair’stied up in some sort of knot all women seem to be able to do, making her neck appear longer. I just want to nuzzle my face in the crook of it and mark her with my beard. She pulls the rest of the fabric away from her body, revealing the sexiest damn bikini I’ve ever seen. I almost pass out as all of the blood in my body rushes to my dick.Shit!I don’t need a raging boner in front of her family.

“Have you got a t-shirt or something you can put on?” I snap as I gesture to her body. I don’t want every asshole here to see what’s mine.

She looks down at herself, adjusting the top, making her boobs jiggle—and my cock pulse.Fuck!“Uh, no.” She twists so she can check out her ass and adjusts the top of her high-waisted navy and white polka-dot bottoms so they almost meet her red halter top, which cups her tits in spectacular fashion. I grasp my t-shirt at the back of my collar and pull it off, holding it out to Emma.

“Here, put this on.”

Sarah looks at me with fire in her eyes. Then turns to her sister. “You look gorgeous in that bikini, Sis.” She looks back to me. “She doesn’tneedto cover herself.” Stepping closer to me, she whispers, “Asshole.”

Her entire family’s looking at me like I’m a piece of shit, while Mona stands a little taller, pushing out her boobs as far as she possibly can in my direction. I detest sleazy women like her. It’s then I realize how my words came out and how it must look that I offered her my t-shirt.

Fuck!

I’ve done it again … and in front of my future in-laws to boot. Putting my hands up in the sign of surrender, I apologize. “I’m sorry. I didn’t mean it like that.Em’sgot a fu— … spectacular body that she should most definitely be proud of because … damn!” I gesture toward her. Her face is turning the color of a tomato and she’s trying to do something weird with her eyes. “I just don’t want every other as— … man on the beach to see—”

“Theo!” Emma snaps. Her family looks between the two of us like they’re at a tennis match. “Please. Stop. I don’t have another coverup and I don’t want to get his one wet.” She gestures at the wrap she just removed. “I’m not wearing your t-shirt either. You’ll just have to deal with it. There are women on this beach wearing a lot less than me.” Her eyes slide toward Mona. “Come on boys, let’s go.” Taking each boys’ hand in hers, she marches her fine ass down to the water’s edge.

“Oh, this is wonderful.” Emma’s mom sings, holding her hands together in front of her chest, a wide smile gracing her face which is similar to both of her daughters.

“Sally.” Her husband admonishes, giving her a hard look. “Don’t start.”

Sarah giggles and Max looks me up and down as though he’s sizing me up.Come at me man, I’m not impressed by you. Then I remember that I’d decided I was being a hypocrite in my dislike for him when he left Emma to cut her own grass. At least he was there to help her out. Emma probably reamed him out just like she did me this morning. This family seems close. I’m sure if Emma really needed something, they’d be there for her, unlike me with my sister. Sometimes I question whether or not I deserve to find happiness after what I did.

I grab Kenny’s hand, gesturing over my shoulder. “I’m justgonnatake Kenny for a swim.” Turning, I head toward the water with my niece. Moving into the cool water until it’s up to my knees still holding Kenny’s hand, I stand beside my future. “Munchkin, you can play in the water in the space between me and the beach. Okay?”

“Okay, Uncle Theo.” She giggles as the wave splashes against her tummy, water droplets landing on her chubby cheeks.

Emma’s got her back to me, watching her boys who are out a little deeper. I move closer to her, still keeping my eyes on my munchkin. “I’m sorry, Em. I didn’t mean it like that. You look so fucking sexy in that bikini, I got hard the instant you took off your coverup.” Her head snaps to me, as her mouth drops open. She looks down at my groin. “Don’t look at me like that, I’ve just got myself back under control.” I wrap one arm around the front of her and step in closer, so our bodies are touching. Kissing the top of her head, with my eyes fixed on Kenny, I whisper, “I need to have you under me again, Peaches.”

“Uncle Theo, look at me!” Kenny calls out, interrupting our moment. Emma looks down, taking her chameleon eyes away from me.

“I’m watching, Munchkin. Show me your stuff.”

She pushes off into the water, her hands out in front of her, kicking her feet. She holds her face under the water as she moves through the water a short distance. I hold my body still, trusting her to come up for air as she needs, but I’m ready to pounce if she takes too long. She pops back up, standing up in the shallow water, brushing her hair and excess water away from her face—a huge smile raising her cheeks.

“Did you see me? Didya?” She points back to where she started. “Iswimmedall that way.”

“I saw you. Your kicks were nice and strong. Have you had lessons?”

“Nuh-uh.” She stands tall, hands on her hips.

I widen my eyes in shocked surprise. “No kidding. Are you a mermaid?”

“Oh, Uncle Theo. You’re so funny. Of course not.” She gives me a look that telegraphs what an idiot I am, causing Emma to chuckle at my side. The boys come around in front of me, so they can play with Kenny in the water, allowing Emma and me to face the same direction back toward the beach.

The kids play as Emma and I stand side by side holding hands. Being with her like this reinforces for me this is what I want. I need to have her and the boys with Kenny and me; living as one family.

“Why aren’t there any sexybras for women with a fuller bust like us?”

Sarah sighs. “I know, right? It’s so unfair.” She holds out a gorgeous filmy lace bra with no underwires. “How cute is this one?”
