She spun in the water, then asked, “Apologize for what?”

I didn’t say a word as I looked down at the bulge between my legs that could be seen as the water wasn’t high enough to hide my rock-hard cock where I stood.

She just looked back at me, quirked her brow, and then chuckled, and said, “Was my very first kiss not an apology from me?”

And with that, the little firecracker bent down, scooped up water, and then threw it at me.

Tilting my head to the side, I said low, “Oh, that’s how you want to play this?”

She laughed as I splashed water back at her.

And then I ran at her, grabbed her by her waist, her laughter ringing out wild and free with zero abandonment. Fuck, but I missed that.

I twirled us around in the water, then placed a soft kiss on her lips, and when I saw the goosebumps on her skin, I carried us out of the water.

Setting her down on her feet, I nodded my thanks at Lena who handed us two towels.

After we dried off, she got redressed.

“So, the two of you finally fucking together?” I looked over my shoulder and then grinned.

“Fucking right we are.” And then, not able to help myself, I slapped Raine on the ass.

A dozen, It’s about time.

Another dozen Hallelujahs rent the night air.

“I’m going to regret agreeing to be yours. Aren’t I?” She asked with her hand tucked into mine

“You might. But I’ll try my best to curb my tendencies. Because I never had something that was solely mine. I’m going to be jealous. Possessive. Obsessive. An alpha-hole. But I can promise you, no one in this world will ever love you like I will. You’re getting every part of me I’ve never given to a single soul.” I told her after I pulled her into my front.

She looked up at me, and winked, “You got a little problem there, soulja boi?”

Little imp.

I still had a fucking boner. And how could I not, first, seeing her in that bikini, and then feeling her body up against mine?

She’s been calling me soulja boi ever since the men on my team got drunk one night in country on one of our nights off and we all danced to that song. The video found its way to every single team member’s woman. And I fucking missed hearing her calling me that for the better part of a year.

She was walking back to the house with Lena, Cassidee, and Shea, she looked over her shoulder, and not giving a fuck, she called out, “Carter?”

“Yeah, Gray?” I called out as Porter slapped me on my back.

“I love you too.” Damn if I didn’t almost melt.

“That’s good. You’re the storm crashing into my waves. You’re the air I need to breathe. My life has always been black and white. But with you, it’s full of fucking color. Everything I thought I knew, changed the day I met you.”

She called out in a laugh, “Pervert.”

I couldn’t help but burst out laughing.

Chapter 13

Raine

The past four weeks had been a blast.

Tank’s phone hadn’t rung once. And I couldn’t believe it.
