Page 9 of It Starts With Summer

Not Ravi, though, obviously.

“What was that kick?”another of the kids asked.“That was awesome!”

“Just a butterfly kick,” Ravi said.“I guess if we have time, I could teach you a little?”

“How did you get so high in the air?”I asked.“Could you do it again, in slow motion?”

He planted his hands on his hips, his delicious pecs flexing.“Parker, I’m soaking wet and covered in shaving cream.Could we do the wushu demonstration another time?”

“Oh.Right.Well, I guess we can get the kids inside and set them up with unpacking and you can change?”

He exhaled loudly and turned towards the Raven cabin.I must have been too focused on his tapered waist and exquisitely defined shoulder muscles, because I forgot about my second prank, which was as explosive as the first one.

What can I say?No one can resist a glitter bomb.The food coloring might have been taking things a little too far, though.

The glitter exploded out across the cabin with more of a mess than I’d expected, and soon the kids were covered in glitter, laughing their asses off.Fortunately, the dye only hit Ravi, splattering across his chest and shoulders and making the glitter adhere to him all the more.The laughter was so raucous that I had to step in and give Collin his inhaler.And Ravi looked like he wanted to murder me.Which was fair.

He was a purple, glittery, sexy guy who wanted to murder me.How did I get so lucky?I started to think of more reasons to keep him shirtless all summer.Perhaps I could even orchestrate a prank that ended with Ravi covered in oil and shirtless?Right.It was clear my self-control had gone missing.

“The purple suits you,” I said.He made a strange, feral noise.

I could easily imagine some horny alien smut fantasies based on the scene in front of me.This time, his rage was silent and a lot more terrifying.He glared at me, but held it together with the kids as he helped the campers pick beds and lift their bags.His restraint was impressive.I wondered what he was going to do to me.

I wondered if it would be sexy, like a spanking.

No.Nope.Bad Parker.

Finally, the kids focused enough on unpacking and horsing around that they didn’t need our help.Ravi grabbed my hand and dragged me outside.

“I’m purple,” he said.

I reached out and brushed a bit of glitter off of his shoulder, ignoring the strange buzz I got from touching him.Probably because of his delicious half-naked body.

“I’m sure it’ll come off.It’s non-toxic,” I said.

“Non-toxic doesn’t mean it won’t dye me.And glitter?Seriously?”

“I love glitter.You look cute, all sparkly.”I picked another piece of glitter off of his eyebrow.He took a step back and shook out his hair, sending glitter raining down on the grass.

“They’re going to be finding glitter in the Raven cabin two decades from now.Glitter is insidious, it gets everywhere.It’s the root of all evil.”The way he focused on me as he talked made me just a little more horny for him.Yes, Daddy.

“Don’t you think that’s a little extreme?”I asked.

“I have three younger sisters, Parker.I know glitter,” he warned.“My hair will have glitter in it for the rest of my life.”

“So dramatic.”I reached up and brushed at his hair, which was thick and long enough to get a good handful when he… Nope, I needed to stop thinking these things.

“You don’t understand how invasive glitter is,” he said.

“It’s kind of a sexy look.”I swear, the comment wasn’t my fault.My mouth sometimes spoke without my permission.

“I’m going to go take a shower, and you’re going to go back in there and clean the glitter until there’s none left.Even if it takes all afternoon.”Ravi ordered.He stared at me for a moment, then sighed.“And stop picturing me naked.”

“I wasn’t!”I totally was, but come on, who wouldn’t?He was so unbelievably hot without his shirt on.It couldn’t be helped.

“You will make this up to me.”The stern voice did not help my crush one bit.

“Yes, Daddy.”I batted my eyelashes at him.
