Page 94 of Flirting with Trouble

“It sure doesn’t,” I say, referring to her.

She saunters toward me. “I was talking about the water.”

“It doesn’t compare to your ass in those shorts.”

“You have a one-track mind, Silver.” She eyes the desk and the leather couch. “How many women have you had your way with in here?”

“None.” I draw her into my arms and kiss her neck. “But I’ve thought about bending you over my desk many times.” Her breath hitches, and I brush my lips over hers. “And watching you ride my cock on that couch too many times to count.”

Her eyes flame. “Well, I am here all weekend.”

“I fucking love”—you—“the way you think.” I seal my mouth over hers, kissing her until she melts against me. It takes everything I have not to lock my door and take her right here and now, but we have other plans, so I whisper, “Soon.”

We drive down to the marina. Victory grabs her shopping bag, and I snag my backpack with our toiletries and my clothes since we’re spending the night on the boat. There’s a warm breeze coming off the water as we make our way down to the docks.

Roddy is talking with Grant, Fitz, Brant, and Archer outside the harbormaster’s office. The Remingtons have owned the marina for several generations, and Roddy runs it.

They glance over as we approach, and Roddy says, “You two look like you’re ready for a day on the water.”

“We’re going to boat around the island,” I say. “You all remember Victory.”

“We sure do,” Roddy says as Grant and Fitz say, “It’s nice to see you again.”

Archer lifts his chin. “How’s it going?”

“It’s great to see you again, Victory,” Brant says.

“Thanks. It’s nice to be here,” she says.

“Is something going on down here?” I ask. “I didn’t expect to run into everyone.”

“Nah,” Grant says. “We’re just shooting the shit. I’m helping Brant fix a boat today, and Roddy was giving us his two cents.”

“Which is worth about half that,” Roddy says with a chuckle.

“I came down to talk to Archer and found him giving these guys a hard time,” Fitz says.

Archer cocks a grin. “It’s the highlight of my day. Wells, are you going to the bonfire tonight? Sutton and Flynn should be in town by then.”

“Yeah, I think so,” I say.

“I’m looking forward to it, and it’ll be nice to see my brother,” Victory says. “Are all of you going to be there?”

“Not me. I have a hot date with my missus,” Roddy says.

Victory smiles. “Good for you. I look forward to seeing Gail again at Leni’s wedding.”

“She’s looking forward to seeing you, too,” Roddy says.

“The rest of us will be there tonight with our better halves,” Brant says.

“Except Fitz,” Archer says. “He’s still learning how to pick up women.”

The guys laugh.

Fitz scoffs. “I’m single by design.”

I slide my arm around Victory, earning a sweet smile, and say, “I highly suggest you think about changing that. We’ll see you later. I want to head out before it gets too late.”
