I let out a half laugh and shook my head. “You’re not the first person that’s said that.”
When I was done, I got up and stood next to her. “Well, you did good today. You might just be getting the hang of this, after all.”
She ran a hand through her long blonde hair before pulling it to the front and squeezing it out on the sand. “Really?” She laughed. “This is my second lesson and I think I spent more of my time in the water than on the board.”
I waved a hand in the air before crossing my arms. “I wouldn’t be so hard on yourself. Everyone falls off their board. You have to learn how to balance, that’s all.”
“Maybe we should go back to the basics,” she said, lifting her hand and bringing it to my bicep.
I looked down at where her painted fingers were scratching my skin now and chuckled. I knew where this was going and couldn’t help but laugh. “All right, well,” I let my words fall off as I waited for her to take her hand off. She did not. “Our lesson is officially over. So we’ll have to go back to the surf basics next time.”
She pouted and even made her bottom lip quiver. “What a bummer,” she exclaimed. “You know,” she whispered, eyeing me up and down, before raking her teeth across her bottom lip. “You look just like one of those sexy men from that show, Baywatch.”
I tilted my head. “Flattering,” I lied. “But I’ll have to take your word for it because I’ve never seen it.”
Her mouth fell open in shock. “You’ve never watched Baywatch?”
I shook my head and shrugged my shoulders. “Not once.”
She put a finger in front of my face and urged me to come closer, only I didn’t, so she did instead and whispered in my ear, “Why don’t we go back to your place and watch it together?” That last word she added more breath to and I actually got annoyed by the sensation it gave me on my ear. I itched my ear before running a hand through my dirty blond hair.
Frustrated by her inability to take a hint, I asked, “Should I have my son join us, too?” I knew I shouldn’t have used my son to get out of these things, but in a way it was a reminder that none of these women that eyed me like I was their favorite candy wanted anything more from me than a quick roll in the hay. Not that I minded bringing a woman to ecstasy and then leaving her when the deed was done, but I had to be interested in the woman and desperation was not a turn on for me. This woman reeked of desperation. And she was like all the others that came for lessons with me—flirtatious and seductive.
Sure, most of them were beautiful, but they knew it. They batted their long lashes, pushed out their well-endowed chests, and even swayed their hips for my benefit. But they were clients. And this one was no different than the rest of them. She wanted to use me to live out some fantasy she had of having sex with a surf instructor.
She put a hand on her hip and gasped over my words. “I didn’t know you had a son.”
How could she know? It wasn’t like we talked about our personal lives. I met her three days ago for our first surf lesson. She acted like I was keeping my son a secret from her or something. “Yeah, he’s eight and I’m sure he’d love to join us.”
“Never mind.”
“Never mind?”
She nodded and gave me a lopsided smile. “Maybe some other time. My husband is back at our hotel waiting for me anyway.”
“Oh, you’re married?”
She gave me a nervous laugh, like she’d been caught with her hand in the cookie jar or something. “I am.”
I raised my own ring finger and inquired, “No ring?”
She looked around as though searching for the answer and then smacked her forehead. “What an idiot,” she remarked, “I must’ve left it back at the hotel.”
“You take it off frequently?” I leaned in and winked. “Or was that just for my benefit?”
She laughed nervously again and pointed back to the resort, clearly having no intention of answering my question. “I should get going. Don’t want to keep you from your next appointment.”
I bent down again to pick up the surfboard and bring it back to the rental station when she waved at me and walked away. I didn’t have another appointment right now, so it suited me just fine to return the board. It was actually my lunch break, but there was no way I was sharing that tidbit of information with her.
As I was walking, I heard noise coming from a lifeguard vehicle approaching and moved out of their way so they could get wherever they needed to go. Then it suddenly stopped. “Hey, you ready for lunch?”
I looked up and peered over, Hunter’s head popping out of the window, a hand swung over the side as he tapped his hand on the outside.
“I’m starved.”
I narrowed my eyes and shook my head. “You had the siren on again.”
He brushed off my comment and I walked to the back and put my surfboard in before getting in the passenger seat.
