Page 95 of Creed

“Why?” I made out that one word through his full mouth. I was also admiring his toned body in that pair of board shorts with a white t-shirt. He was also wearing flip flops.

“Why what?”

He chewed and tried to swallow. “She’s six. Why on earth would a six year old wear a bikini?”

Addie giggled and I put my hand on my hip. “It’s a two piece, not a bikini. This is a bikini.” I pointed at my bikini top, and a smile rose on his face.

“Fair enough.” He looked at Addie. “You’re too cute.”

She blushed and hid her face behind my leg. I looked at Creed and he was smiling as he looked down at her then shook his head. “Adorable.” He muttered.

Before long, we were on the boat. I smothered her in sunscreen and Creed took forever making sure Addie was snug in her life jacket. At one point she said she couldn’t breathe and that was the only reason he loosened it just a little. He finally took off and I was sitting on the side as Creed held Addie on his lap as he drove the boat. I took in my surroundings. The water was beautiful the way the sun shined off it. The trees along the shore were green and the wind from our little bit of speed felt amazing. It was a gorgeous day, and we couldn’t have asked for better weather.

Creed gave me a disapproving look when I took my shorts off. I was about to put a life jacket on so I could takeAddie in the tube and Creed leaned into my ear. “There are other people on the lake today.”

I looked up at him. “So?”

“So? Morgan, just the sight of you will cause a boat crash.” He warned me.

“That’s their problem.” I turned my nose up at his remark.

“No, it’s my problem. You do remember who owns this lake?”

I laughed. “Okay then, it’s your problem, not mine. I just happen to like my body.”

He pulled me into him and kissed my neck. “You’re giving me a problem right now.”

I pushed him back gently. “Not in front of Addie.”

“Fine.” He smacked my ass, and I yelped, making Addie laugh.

After tubing, which Addie loved by the way, Creed stopped the boat, and we sat down for sandwiches and chips. It was when I stood and bent over for a napkin when everything changed. A boat stopped and I heard cat calls and whistles. “Hey baby, you can bend over for me anytime.”

“Look at that fucking ass!”

“I bet she tastes as sweet as pie.”

I froze, knowing it was not good by the look on Creed’s face. He jumped up and pushed me behind him as he looked at the men on the boat. I peeked around him and when I saw the looks on those men’s faces, I cringed. I didn’t know if I should have been offended by them or worried for them.

I knew by the way Creed was so tense he was about to explode. “There is a child on this boat!” He growled. “Not to mention you just disrespected my girlfriend. The one you’ve all been warned about for weeks!”

“Sorry Prez, we didn’t know it was you guys!”

“That doesn’t matter!” His chest was heaving with anger. “There are families on this lake, and you know the rules about other men’s women! I will see all three of you in my office at 0930! Do you understand me?”

“Yes, sir!”

“You’re off the lake for the day, in fact, you’ve lost your privileges for the day. Go to your cabins until I see you all in the morning for disciplinary action!”

I looked up and saw the artery on his neck popping out. It was a side of Creed I never saw before. “You’re lucky were on boats and I can’t reach you f…” He paused and looked at Addie whose eyes were huge. “I will see you in the morning. Get out of my sight!”

Addie giggled. “Da big guy scary, I like it. He make da boys cry.”

Creed and I both looked down at her. She giggled again. “Dat was fun.” She pushed her glasses up the bridge of her nose.

I looked at Creed as he looked at her like she was a unicorn or something. “She’s every man’s dream daughter. I didn’t know she existed.”

I busted out laughing.
