Page 6 of Waiting Forever
I turn to face her. She looks like an angry bathing beauty. I have to fight to keep my gaze on her sunglass-covered eyes and not her body. Sweat drips down my back. “Come on, Kensi. It’s hot.”
She stares at me, her expression unreadable.
“What?”
Her mouth twists with a thoughtful grin and then she flings herself at me and hugs my neck. “I’m so happy you’re here. I’ve missed you. When I heard you weren’t going to make it, I almost called to tell you off. But you came. Best surprise ever.”
Her hot body melds with mine and my dick decides to greet the beauty in my arms.
She hops back and tilts her head, her gaze on my groin. “Hello to you, too.”
What the hell? When did she grow up and get an adult sense of humor?Wait.Sixteen isn’t grown up. Is this that whole girls-mature-faster-than-boys thing? No girl has ever thrown me like this. But then, Kensi is no ordinary girl. She’s like family. A lifelong friend. And now she’s stunning.
I turn sideways, angling my lower half from her view. “It’s not—”
She raises her hands, silencing me. “Relax. I’m not judging. I’m just surprised you brought a date to this. Or did you pick up a girl after you got here?” She glances around the beach as if looking for her.
“What? No. Why would you think that?”
She raises her brows and gestures to my erection. “I know that’s not because of me.”
What the hell is happening? Kensi talking like this is messing with my head and other parts of me, unfortunately. “I didn’t pick up on anyone,” I make clear. “I’m here for you.”
Though now I wish I hadn’t come. Maybe I can bail before the company dinner tonight.
She smiles widely and takes off her glasses, treating me to her vibrant Caribbean eyes. “Good. I have a surprise for you later.”
“A surprise?”
She nods. “But you have to keep it a secret.”
“Why? Is it illegal?”
“Look at you, jumping to worst-case conclusions. Let me guess. My dad gave you the ‘she’s naïve’ talk?”
I keep my features blank, giving nothing away.
“He did. He says it to everyone. To him, I am and always will be daddy’s little girl.” She rolls her eyes. “In case you haven’t noticed, I’m not so little anymore.”
Oh, I’ve noticed, but I’m not about to admit it. It’d be wrong and her dad would kill me if he thought I was attracted to Kensi. Hell, my dad would kill me, too.
Kensi squeezes my hand. “I have to go. I’m meeting my mom for a mani and pedi at the spa, but I’m so happy you came. You have no idea how happy. But maybe you will later.” A glint shows in her eyes and her voice has a huskier tone.
Is she insinuating what I think she is? Sexual thoughts flood my mind.
“See you later, Nathan.” She waves and skips off, her tits bouncing.
Emotions course through me, the most prevalent one being fear. My brain struggles to comprehend what just happened. I lusted after my cousin—not my cousin. Still, I put the moves on her, and she may have put the moves on me, too.
I shake my head again. This is bad. Very bad.
I need to get the hell out of here before I do something stupid.

THE AIRPORT IS bustling with people, most of them tourists, here for Disney vacations no doubt.
