CHAPTER TWENTY-FIVE

I ignored his comment, falling silent as I once again turned my attention to the ocean life.

Brady didn’t speak again, and after a long drawn out moment, I found the bravery needed to chance a glance in his direction.

His gaze lingered on me, trailing head and looking unconcerned with the beautiful surroundings. A lazy smile curved his lips when our eyes met.

“What are you doing?” I asked, fidgeting slightly under his scrutiny.

He scratched his chin, then returned his hand to the mock bench, closer to mine than it had been before. “Looking at you.”

“Why?” My skin tingled. Did he have to? My nerves awakened, fizzling to life, acutely aware of how close he was, how easy it would be to…I didn’t want that. That would be the perfect way to find myself magically life married. Despite my thoughts, it was becoming harder to remember why that was a bad thing. Just looking around. It seemed there was nothing Brady couldn’t accomplish, and I wasn’t unaware of how scary that should have been.

For some reason, however, I felt no fear.

“I like looking at you,” he answered.

In that moment, with him lounged back the way he was and completely exposed from the waist up, I couldn’t say looking back wasn’t just as nice. Probably better. Right then, Brady looked like a giant slab of cheesecake, and I was more than happy to let my eyes outweigh my stomach.

Then, said stomach growled and ruined everything.

Brady grabbed my hand. “C’mon, Sweetheart. Let’s get something to eat.”

I let him pull me closer, back into the circle of his arms, and I told myself I did it because I was hungry. I didn’t like it. Those tingles were from the water pressure. It was hot in the bubble. Stifling.

A burst of blue, and we were back at the hut. I couldn’t believe I’d failed to notice, but behind the bed was a doorway, and through that door was everything else. A living room with another full sized bed, a little dining area, equipped with table and chairs to the left of it. The open door straight ahead revealed a bathroom, and past the table was another door leading to a kitchen.

I looked over at Brady as he pulled a chair out and motioned for me to sit. “Are you going to cook?”

He grunted. “I don’t have to cook, Sweetheart.” He took a seat, his hands working through the air until steak and lobster materialized onto the table. Not just two settings, but literally, a plate full of steak, and a plate full of lobster. The meal would cost a fortune at a restaurant.

Brady stabbed a steak and plopped it down onto the plate in front of me, then added a lobster tail before doing the same for himself. “You like this, right?” he asked as he looked up at me.

“I think I’ll manage.” My mouth was salivating just at the smell of it all.

Brady focused on his meal, and I followed his lead. It was terrific like everything else.
