I squeezed my eyes shut and convinced myself not to punch him in the nuts.
"Why did you tell Aideen to bring Storm out on two walks a day, he is not your dog-"
"Did we not discuss us being a we until this favour is fulfilled?"
I pinched the bridge of my nose. "We or no we, he is my baby and-"
"He is a dog, Keela, a dog."
I growled, "I've more respect for that dog than I do you, you piece of shite."
Alec laughed. "Nobody has ever shown me that many ounces of dumb fuck before."
What?
"Excuse me?"
Alec got up from the bed, stood in front of me and looked down. "I'm looking out for your baby. If you want him to live a long life take my advice and get him healthy."
I held my tongue.
As much as I didn't want Storm to be uncomfortable by testing his limits, I did want him to be healthy.
I slumped my shoulders and blew out a breath. "Yeah, okay, fine."
I looked down and closed my eyes. I smiled a little when I felt Alec's arms wrap around me. He snuggled me close to him and I was aware that I was pressed against his shirtless torso and I didn't mind it in the slightest.
"You give nice hugs," I murmured as I wrapped my arms around his waist.
"I know," Alec replied.
"You're so damn cocky."
"Say 'cock' again."
I laughed and pushed away from him. I moved to the window, squealed as I gazed out it then I twirled around which made Alec laugh. "You cannot be this excited over a view."
I stopped and gave him a look. "No disrespect to me country but it's nice to see somethin' other than the mountains. It's sunny here and the sea is two minutes from where we're stayin'. I'm surprised I'm not explodin' right now, this is me first holiday!"
Alec shook his head as he moved his suitcase against the wall next to the wardrobe. "That is wrong on so many levels. How did your parents not bring you on vacation when you were younger?"
I instantly frowned. "Me ma went away a lot, but I stayed home with Micah and her stepma and da because me ma said I wasn't allowed to flaunt around in a bikini unless I looked the part and-" I cut myself off, and blushed fiercely.
I cannot believe I almost told him how tight of a leash my mother had me on when I was younger.
"Where is your dad?" Alec asked me, overlooking the fact that I cut myself off mid-sentence.
"Me da? I don't know, I never met him."
Alec nodded his head but didn't say anything further.
Silence stretched for a few moments until I spoke.
"Do you want to come to the beach or just hang out here until the dinner tonight?" I asked, avoiding looking at Alec.
He didn't say anything other than, "Sure."
"Sure to the beach or to hangin' out in here?"
"The beach, obviously," he said glancing around the room like it was a joke to be asked to stay here.
I rolled my eyes; I loved the room, I thought it was great.
"Okay, well, you go get changed in the bathroom, and I'll get changed in here."
Alec nodded as he opened his suitcase and grabbed the first item on the top then headed into the bathroom. I opened the wardrobe and got what I wanted to wear then turned back to the bed only to stub my toe on Alec's suitcase in the process.
I let out a loud pitched scream.
"What's wrong?" Alec shouted, bursting from the bathroom with a tube of toothpaste in his right hand raised in the air like a weapon.
I fell back onto the bed gripping my foot. "I hurt me toe."
"We haven't being here five minutes, how did you hurt yourself already?" Alec snapped in annoyance.
I sat upright ready to give him a piece of my mind, but stopped dead in my tracks when I noticed a sculpted torso in front of me. I wasn't joking - a six pack of abs stared me directly in the face.
I swear one of them moved as well.
"Up here, sweetheart," Alec's voice said in an amused tone.
I snapped out of my trance and looked upwards pretty quickly. "I wasn't perving on you. Your body was practically in me face, and it still is so back up off me and give me some personal space."
Alec did as asked with a grin on his face.
I involuntary dropped my eyes then and read the words Calvin Klein. He was in just his boxer briefs!
"Oh my God!" I gasped as I flung my hands over my eyes and dropped backwards onto the bed. "Cover yourself!"
Alec burst into belly rumbling laughter. "That brought back a flashback of my sixteen year old self stripping in front of a girl I was trying to seduce. She reacted just like you."
I glared into my hands. "She didn't want your half naked arse near her either?" I guessed.
Alec snorted. "No, she did. She was just shy and virginy about it."
"Virginy isn't a word and I'm not shy, I just don't want to see you half naked."
Lie.
Huge, big, fat, fucking lie.
Alec chuckled again as he moved away. "I'm moving back into the bathroom now, kitten. You can uncover your eyes and stop blushing."
I sat up when the bathroom door clicked shut.
I felt my cheeks and they were indeed hot.
Damn him!
"I'm not blushin', you just made me mad that's all!" I shouted.
He replied with a laugh that made me curse him.
I angrily bent to pick up my items off the floor. I picked up a black bikini and black cover up, some flip flops, sunscreen, and sunglasses.
"Do not step into this room until I tell you to!" I shouted to Alec.
"Yes, ma'am."
I glared at the bathroom door and didn't take my eyes off it as I quickly changed. I was in the middle of putting my bikini knickers on and screamed when the handle of the bathroom door twisted.
"Not yet!" I yelled as I dove onto the bed, hiding myself with pillows.
