Without even thinking, I grabbed her hand. “Thank you,” I spoke as I stared into her eyes.

“You’re welcome. It’s the least I could do since you’re letting me stay here and letting me cook for you. That right there is an honor.”

That smart, sarcastic mouth of hers would get her in trouble with me. I let go of her hand, and she jumped in the pool.

“Would you like to race?” she asked with a smile.

Staring at her as the water glistened on her tan skin, I stood up and jumped in.

“You’re on, James.”

“First one to make it back here has to cook breakfast in the morning,” she said whimsically.

“I don’t cook.”

“You will tomorrow if I win. Ready...set...go!”

We did a full lap to the other side of the pool, turned around, and headed back. She was fast and ahead of me. She made it to the other side first. When I came up, she was grinning from ear to ear.

“Are you some kind of fucking swimming champion I don’t know about?”

She bit down on her bottom lip, and my cock twitched.

“Maybe just a national champion for my school.”

“Jesus, Emerson. You couldn’t have told me that?”

“Then it wouldn’t have been fun. Looks like you’re cooking breakfast tomorrow!” she exclaimed.

As she started climbing out of the pool, I grabbed her waist and pulled her into my arms.What the fuck was I doing?She wrapped her arms around my neck and stared at me.

“I already told you that I don’t cook.”

“A bet is a bet.”

“You made the bet. I didn’t agree to it.” I stared at her lips. She wasn’t pulling away from me. Control yourself, Alex. She’s not your type, and you’ll end up hurting her and making things awkward between you and Adam.

I let go of her. “I’m going to head to bed. I’ll see you in the morning.” I climbed out of the pool, grabbed my towel, and went inside the house.

Emerson

I sighed as I watched him walk away. He wanted to kiss me. I could tell by the way he was staring at my mouth. Not to mention that I noticed he was hard as I massaged his head. If he would have kissed me, I wouldn’t have minded. There was a part of me that would have welcomed it. He was unlike anyone I’d ever met before, and for some dumb reason, I was attracted to him in a weird sort of way.

I dried myself off, and as I headed to my bedroom, Alex was walking up the stairs.

“Goodnight, Alex,” I spoke.

Chapter Ten

Alex

I stopped on the stairs and clenched my fists.

“Emerson,” I called out to her.

“Yes.” She stood in front of the stairs, looking up at me.

I slowly walked down until I approached her.
