“It’s so good to seeyou.”
“You too. Thought I’d come check on you.Youokay?”
Today makes nearly two weeks since I last saw her, and nearly two months since she’s been in Wilmington.The time sure is going fast. That six months will be here before we canblink.
“Yeah. I’m good. Just working out some stuff for the school.” She glances over at the nearly completedstudio.The whole thing has practically beenrebuilt.There’s not an awful lot left todo.“Lilly has all these instructions for how she wants thingsdone.I’m looking forward to it. It will be good to see that studio donetoo.”
“Sure will. What are you actually doing?” If Lilly left instructions and all she has to do is look over those said instructions and put it all together to make it happen, there shouldn’t be much todo.
“Oh, just reading everythingagain.Forthe umpteenthtime.”
I chuckle seeing through what she’s saying.Umpteenth is the right way to phrase it because I’m sure she told me a while back she’d already gone through the instructions withBree.
“So you’rebored.”
She bites the inside of her lip and nods.“God, is it thatobvious?”
“Yes. Well, it’s a good thing I figured you’d be doing something as boring as fuck and came to save you.” What am I thinking of doing?If I came to save her, then I have to dosomething.But not in the house. The bed isupstairs.
Fuck, we don’t need a bed. The house is justenclosed.
“Save me? From boredom?” Shegiggles.“That suggests you have something in mind forme.”
I glance across the way, down the length of the lake, and off in thedistance.Years ago, there’s only one thing Quinn and I would be doing on a day liketoday.The only thing that didn’t involve any bedroom relatedactivities.
“Come to the beach with me,” I reply, returning my gaze tohers.
She draws in a breath and excitement dances across her beautifulface.“Really?”
“Yeah, let’s do it. I have some shorts in the back of my truck I can change into.If you go grab your swimsuit, I’ll pack us somesandwiches.We can spendthe day there.”
“Oh my gosh. That would be great.” She bounces lightly on her feet, smiling ear to ear.“I haven’t been to the beachyet.”
“No?”
“No, I guess not everyone likes heading out there as much as we did.And it’s not the same going bymyself.”
“Well, let’s make this funthen.”
“Thanks, I’ll go get mystuff.”
Half an hour later, I have everything ready to go and she’s readytoo.When Quinn bounces down those stairs in a turquoise blue bikini and a silky black sarong wrapped around her hips, I wonder if she’s trying to torture the fuck out of me onpurpose.When I see those perky tits bouncing up and down as she makes her way to me I have to do my best to exercise ironclad control over mydick.
It’s then I remember twenty-eight-year-old Quinn Cambray has a different body to eighteen-year-old Quinn Cambray and I really have no idea how the fuck I’m supposed to keep my hands offher.
From the twinkle in her eyes that appears when she sees me outrightly ogling her body, I’m not so sure that might be aproblem.
She looks like she doesn’t want me to keep my hands tomyself.
She looks like she wants me to touchher.
She looks like she wantsme.
