CHAPTER FIVE

~Bailey~

“THAT WAS DELICIOUS.” GRAY SITS back in his seat on the patio and pats his flat belly. “You weren’t kidding when you said you love to cook.”

I smile proudly and sip my wine. “Thank you, but all I did was throw a few steaks on the grill and toss a salad.”

“That’s heaven to us, princess,” Kevin says with a wink. These guys are so . . . amazing. What’s the catch here? They’re sweet. All day on the boat they made sure my sunscreen was fresh. They brought me diet sodas. Gray pulled my feet in his lap and rubbed them while Kevin drove us back to shore. They’re the most affectionate, attentive men I’ve ever met.

A girl could get used to this, and that’s something that scares me. This is a weekend fling. I’ll go home tomorrow and back to my normal life. I guess we could continue a sexual relationship now and then, but their work is demanding, and so is mine. I have no idea how our schedules would mesh.

“You’re thinking awfully hard over there,” Gray murmurs and sips his water.

“What’s on your mind?” Kevin asks.

I’m not going to tell them that I’m not sure how our schedules are going to mesh for casual fucking. Not in this lifetime.

“I was just thinking about the strawberry shortcake I’m about to whip together,” I lie easily and smile at the men. Gray narrows his eyes on me and he looks like he’s about to say something when his cell phone rings on the table at his elbow.

Saved by the bell.

“McDermitt.” He doesn’t take his eyes off me as he listens to the voice on the other end of the line. “Give me ten.” He ends the call and stands, rounds the table to me and pulls me out of my chair. He covers my mouth with his and kisses me firmly before pulling back and cradling my face in his hands. “This conversation isn’t over, sweetheart. I have to go to work for a while.”

“What’s up?” Kevin asks.

“Multiple car accident,” Gray responds with a sigh.

“How bad is it?” I ask.

“I have no idea,” Gray replies. “Won’t know until I get there.”

“Be safe.” I wrap my arms around him and hug him close.

“I’ll be fine.” He kisses my forehead, waves at Kevin and takes off through the house.

“It’s already pretty late,” I comment. We didn’t come off the water until dusk, and now it’s dark. “Does this happen very often?”

“Sometimes, yeah. We get called in at a moment’s notice, even on our days off.”

I nod and begin clearing dishes, carrying them to the kitchen. Kevin joins in and before long the patio table is cleared off and cleaned and we have the dishwasher loaded and the kitchen clean, too.

I’ve just finished wiping down the countertops when I feel Kevin move up behind me and wrap his arms around my middle and bury his face in my neck.

“Hey you,” I whisper.

“Hey beautiful,” he responds. “I think you’ve done enough work for the day.
