Chapter Forty-Three

Austin

When she kissed my cheek I was tempted to turn and kiss her lips, but I held back, knowing that if I wanted to win her affection, I'd have to let her come to me not chase her all over the beach and make her feel like I was only using her for her body. I smiled and nodded as I squeezed her hand tightly. She returned my smile and then popped up off the sand and headed for the water.

"Let's swim!" she called as she untied the sarong from around her waist and raced across the sand toward the water's edge. It was a beautiful sunny day and the water was crystal clear as she ran straight in and splashed around. "C'mon, Morning! Come swim!"

"Fine," I laughed as I took a leisurely stroll to the water’s edge and waded in. She laughed and splashed me with the cold water, so I dove under and upended her in a wave. She laughed loudly and splashed me again.

"Nice, really nice," she laughed. "Is that any way to treat your guest? Seriously, tossing me in the water not even twenty minutes after we ate? I could get a cramp and drown."

"I'd never let you drown," I said seriously. "I'd do everything in my power to make sure you're never hurt or in danger or even sad."

Emily looked up at me with a surprised look on her face and then smiled as she turned and flipped herself into an oncoming wave. I knew I'd probably made her a little uncomfortable, but I wasn't even kidding. I wanted to make sure she was always happy and smiling and never felt scared, worried, or sad. When she emerged from under the water, she looked even lovelier than she had before she'd dived in. Her hair was dripping water and her tan skin looked extraordinary in the string bikini she'd picked out. I wanted to touch her, but I didn't dare.

"What's going on, Austin?" she called as she frolicked in the waves. "Come play with me! Let's be dolphins!"

"You're crazy. You know that, don't you?" I called as I laughed and dove under the water joining in her game. Over and over again, I dove underwater and swam between her legs before standing up with her on my shoulders. Then, I'd bend slightly at the waist and toss her forward into the deeper water as the waves rolled in. She'd pop up calling, "Again! Again!" like a small child and I'd laugh and do it again.

It was difficult for me to stay calm and cool when I could feel her warm wet skin slippery beneath my hands and her legs wrapped around my shoulders. I wanted to grab her and hold her against me and kiss her, but I'd promised to stay neutral and so I played the dolphin game as we laughed and splashed in the clear blue water. We lay on the beach for a long time talking about where we went to school and who had been the “it kids” when we were growing up.
