“You choking on something? Do I need to do the Heimlich?”
He rolled his eyes. “You wish.” He grabbed a beer from one of the minifridges and walked away. Damned if it didn’t take everything inside of me not to follow him.
“You were saying?” I asked the woman with the great rack. Her swimming suit top was just two small, white triangles.
“Serenity.”
“Beautiful name for a beautiful woman,” I flirted. Whitt could pfft all he wanted, but I was fucking good at this shit.
“Thank you. Are you here with anyone?” Serenity asked.
I gave her my best grin, then looped my arm with hers. “I am now.”
Serenity was beautiful, funny, and smart as hell, yet I couldn’t stop my eyes from casing the backyard, looking for Whitt. I’d seen him two or three times in the last few hours. He was with a brunette woman who seemed to hang on his every word like he was the king or something. He wasn’t that fucking interesting…or sexy—okay, maybe on the sexy part.
When I saw Whitt and the woman in the pool, I nodded in that direction. “Want to go swimming?”
“Sure,” Serenity replied.
I noticed a bin full of balls and Frisbees, so I grabbed a football. “Hey! Patrick!”
He looked my way with a scowl just before I threw the perfect spiral at him. He easily caught it, and while he was distracted doing that, I jumped into the water like I was a kid, creating the perfect cannonball right beside him.
His brunette screeched.
“Are you fucking twelve?” he snipped, but I could see how he bit the inside of his cheeks, the corners of his mouth threatening to curve up into a smile.
“Shut up before I dunk you, Bougie.”
“Yeah, like you could do that.”
Serenity laughed from beside him. I quirked a brow at Whitt. “Do you know me? There’s not a challenge I can turn down.” I maneuvered myself so I was closer to him, speaking low for only us. “Unless you do know and it’s what you want. You wanna wrestle with me?”
“You’re a—”
I jumped on him before he could counter, trying to wrestle Whitt beneath the water. I was a bigger guy than he was, but Whitt was a strong motherfucker, so I couldn’t get control of him as easily as I could if I wasn’t fighting another football player.
“What the fuck are you doing?” Whitt asked, trying to work himself free of my hold.
“Oh, I forgot, you’re allergic to fun.”
He growled, but it was just the chance I needed to distract him. I swept my legs through the water, hooking his as I tugged with my upper body. I sank below the surface, dragging Whitt with me. He fought back, somehow working himself so he was in front of me, with his back to me, his ass against my cock. When he jerked himself around, instead of loosening my hold, it just made him rub his ass against my dick, where I was pretty sure all the blood in my body was pooling.
He tensed when he felt it. I thought for sure he would pull away, and this time, I would let him, but he didn’t, Whitt’s strong hand reaching back to grab my hip. He held on, fingers digging into me, which made me make slow circles with my hips so my cock rubbed up and down his crease.
My lungs started burning, and I figured his were, too, so as much as I wished I could shove a hand down his trunks and grab his dick, I pushed off the ground so we broke the surface.
“Jesus Christ. Get off me,” he said, but his pupils were so big I could hardly see the blue of his eyes.
I cocked a brow, silently asking, “Are you sure?” while Whitt’s gaze mapped out the landscape of my chest.
Fuck yeah, he wanted me just as much as I wanted him. What in the hell was it about this man?
“You guys are so silly.” Serenity wrapped her arms around me, reminding me she was there. Shit. I felt like an asshole. My intention wasn’t ever to lead anyone on, but I was pretty sure that regardless of what did or didn’t go down with me and Whitt tonight, I wouldn’t want anyone except him.
“I’m going to go dry off for a minute,” I said, nodding toward the stairs. Serenity went with me.
“For some reason, I don’t feel like I’m holding your attention tonight. If that’s the case, tell me now because I don’t want to waste my time.”
I barked out a laugh. Fuck, a confident woman was sexy, and if it wasn’t for Whitt, nothing would have taken me away from her tonight, but I couldn’t get that asshole out of my head. “I like a woman who knows what she wants and isn’t afraid of saying it.”
