“I can do that.”
Greer leaned over and placed a kiss on my shoulder, then walked into the bathroom. I tossed my clothes onto the bed and stepped out onto the balcony overlooking the illuminated pool below. The sound of the ocean waves was rhythmic and soothing.
Could this be what our life would be like? We’d only scratched the surface of the things we needed to discuss, but for the first time that I could remember, my brain was not running a mile a minute. I wasn’t irritable, but instead felt calm.
Within minutes, warm hands found the skin under my shirt and wrapped around me from behind. Greer rested his chin on my shoulder as he held me close.
“It’s all yours.” He placed a single kiss on my neck, sending chills over my body when his beard rubbed against my exposed skin. I closed my eyes and breathed in the moment with him.
“I never thought this would happen.”
He kissed my neck again. “I didn’t either. You’ve been a permanent fixture in my head for a long time.”
I turned in his arms and kissed him chastely. “I’ll be back in a few minutes.”
But before I could walk away, he spoke. “Just so you know, I’m all in, even though I don’t deserve you.” He smiled at me, but I could see a hint of sadness in his eyes.
“I want that too.” More than he knew.
When I returned ten minutes later, he was already in bed, facing away from me. By the even steady breathing, I knew he was already asleep. As I stood beside the bed, taking in the sight of the man I’d loved my entire adult life, I was reminded of all the years we could have been together.
He’d pulled back the comforter and sheet on the side closest to the bathroom, leaving me a clear message he wanted me in his bed.
The moment my body sunk into the plush mattress, exhaustion hit me. Now I knew why he’d passed out so quickly.
Rolling over, I moved directly behind him and slipped my arm over his waist. He smelled like the same coconut body wash I’d used.
Greer settled back to get comfortable. He placed his left hand over mine, then laced our fingers together. I didn’t think he was awake, but when he tugged me closer and pulled our clasped hands up to his chest, I wasn’t so sure anymore. Either way, it was more than I ever thought I’d have with him.
“I’m all in too, Greer,” I whispered. “Just please don’t break my heart again.”
When he didn’t reply, I closed my eyes and drifted to sleep.
CHAPTER 15
GREER
The chilly water cooled my heated skin as I swam lap after lap in my pool. Waking up after sharing a bed, albeit platonically, with Austin, had my morning wood more insistent on attention than before. Unfortunately for my dick, I stayed perpetually aroused when he was near, and I had no idea how long it would be before we went there.
The regular Speedo I’d chosen had a difficult time containing me with the boat oar tucked in the front. Even though the water was cold, I wasn’t deflating.
As I surfaced after my last torturous lap, I tore off my goggles and looked up at the balcony. It made me ridiculously happy to know he was in my bed. Maybe I should have stayed and woken him up, but I was experiencing a little stage fright for him to see me like that.
When I pulled myself from the pool to dry off, it suddenly occurred to me I might need to do some maintenance work. While I was generously endowed, I was equally sure his dick was perfect. Neatly trimmed and... young. Did I have gray pubic hair?
I sat down on the chair and tossed my towel aside. With one quick glance up at the balcony to make sure he was still asleep, I tugged the stretchy lycra out to see if I could get a look at what was going on down there.
“Goddamn flagpole,” I muttered as I took hold of my cock and pushed it aside. “Don’t you start weeping at me. You’ll just have to deal with waiting until, until...just until.”
As I tugged the red-headed fucker out of the way, I was suddenly aware I was talking to my penis. Recently, he’d developed the need to be put in his place and told what was what.
“Get out of the damn way so I can check my ball sack.” All the touching and tugging to move the fucker out of the way almost sent me over the edge. I breathed out a sigh and decided on another way to check. I stood and yanked down the tight as fuck material under my balls.
“Now, I can fucking see,” I told my dick. But I was wrong. I couldn’t see a damn thing up close without my reading glasses. Bending over while my boat oar pointed toward the house, I tried to get a good look. I’d never paid this much attention to my balls before, but I couldn’t let Austin see wild gray hairs growing out of my wrinkly ball sack skin.
“Fucking hell,” I groaned, finding one particularly offending strand. Gripping it between my fingers, I yanked. The asshole hair was probably rooted to China and refused to give up its place on my testicles. “Sorry buddy, but you’ve got to go.”
“Whatcha doing down there?”
