Jade laughs.

Sean laughs, too. “I need to go, but I’ll call you guys later.”

“Sounds good. See ya, Sean.” I put my phone away.

“What’s new with Sean?”

My eyes are fixed on the cleavage spilling out of Jade’s bikini top. Harper gave her that bikini last spring, along with a few others, but this one’s my favorite. It hugs her ass perfectly and the top pushes up her breasts.

“Garret? What did Sean say?”

“You need to cover up if you want to talk.”

“I came out here to get some sun. I’m not covering up.”

“Then we need to go have sex and then come out here and talk.” I take her feet off my lap and yank her chair toward me. “This suit drives me crazy. You know it does.”

She tries to play innocent. “Actually, no, I never knew that.”

I put my lips to her ear. “Bedroom. Now.”

“Tell me what Sean said first.”

“Jade.” I lick the skin just below her ear and her breath catches.

“What?” She closes her eyes as I kiss the area I just licked.

I talk low but forceful. “Get your hot little ass in that bedroom or I’ll do you right here.”

“No, you won’t. There are cameras out here.”

“Do you really think I give a shit?” I run my hand up her inner thigh and right before I slip my finger under her suit, her eyes pop open and she stands up.

I laugh. “Going somewhere?”

She grabs my hand and yanks me inside. I scoop her up and take her to the bed. She rips her suit off before I can do it. Yeah, she knew what she was doing wearing that thing. It works every time.

Right after we have sex, she says, “Now will you tell me what Sean said?”

I’m still on top of her. “Really, Jade? You can’t wait a few minutes?”

“Why? What’s the problem?”

“We just had sex. I’m trying to enjoy the moment here. I don’t want to talk about Sean.”

“Oh, sorry. Get off me and we’ll go back outside.”

I sigh as I get up. “Just use me for sex, then move on, huh?”

“The sex wasn’t my idea,” she insists, putting her bikini back on.

“Yeah, that wasn’t at all what you had in mind when you came outside wearing that.”

She just smiles as she walks away. “I’ll see you out there.”

I throw my shorts on and grab my sunglasses and meet Jade outside. “So if I tell you what Sean said you can’t tell Harper.” I set my chair next to Jade’s, facing the ocean.

She reaches over and holds my hand. She always links our hands when we’re next to each other. It’s so automatic I don’t even think she realizes she does it.
