Page 43 of You Kissed Me First

I growl, glaring over my shoulder at Barrett. His girlfriend giggles at his antics.

“Asshole,” I grumble.

Katie pulls my head back, pressing a chaste kiss to my lips. “Leave it. What are our plans for the day, anyway?”

I continue walking, pulling her with me. “I didn’t plan a big excursion. I figured today we could either rent some jet skis or chill on the beach. It’s up to you.”

Her eyes shine. “I’m still a little wary of the sea, but if you would be willing to share, I would be game to try the jet skis.”

I pull her into my side, sliding my arm around her shoulders. “Of course. Let’s go get them then.”

It’s not a quick process. Before we can even get the equipment, we have to sit and watch a safety video, then take a test to ensure we are paying attention. Then the attendants make sure we put on our life vests correctly before leading us to the jet skis. Unfortunately for us, the rest of our group had the same idea. I guess when I told Grant my plans, he shared them with Nessa, who in turn shared them with everyone else.

So as a group, we head out. I let everyone else get on theirs and leave before I get on mine. Once seated, I turn to Katie.

“Get on and hold on tight. You can squeeze me as hard as you need to.”

She rolls her eyes. “Is this some ploy to get my breasts pressed against your back? You won’t be able to feel them. This vest covers me pretty well.”

I snort. “Get on the damn ski, Katie.”

I will my dick to stop twitching as I feel her slide behind me. Her body is molded to mine. When she wraps her arms around me, I reach down and squeeze her arm, loving the feel of her against me.

“Here we go.”

I turn the jet ski on, easing away from the shore. At first, I keep it slow, not wanting to freak Katie out. Once she seems to relax a little, I amp up the speed. Before long, we are cruising along the shoreline of beautiful San Juan.

I can still see the others up ahead, but I choose to remain pretty far behind. I prefer it just the two of us.

As the others slow to a stop to congregate, I do the same, but leave us a bit away.

“Having fun?” I look at Katie over my shoulder.

Her smile is blinding. She looks like she’s having the time of her life.

“This is the best. I can’t believe I’ve never been on one.”

“Do you want to drive? I wouldn’t mind being wrapped around you.”

She shakes her head. “I’m not that adventurous yet. I think I enjoy riding. All the responsibility falls on you. All I have to do is hold on.”

“Well then, just consider me your chauffeur. Where to, madam?”

“Well, Jeeves, I would like to see the best of the island,” she says in a hoity tone.

I chuckle. “Your wish is my command. Would you like to see what the other peasants are doing?”

She bites her lip as if she’s contemplating. I know she doesn’t want to see Barrett, but the others are her friends. They are our friends.

“Let’s go see,” she says after a moment.

I carefully bring us up to the group. Nessa moves her jet ski closer to us.

“I can’t believe he got you out here, Kit Kat,” she calls to Katie.

Katie giggles. “He’s persuasive. Besides, I know he will keep me safe.”

My chest fills with pride at her words. She trusts me to keep her safe, and I will.
