Chapter Ten

Sully awoke the next morning to the sound of a woodpecker rat-a-tat-tatting against the oil drum outside his bedroom window. Still half asleep but instantly wanting her, he shifted and stretched across the bed to snag his woman for some good loving. Except, she wasn’t his woman and she wasn’t there. Of course not. You’d have to be having a physical relationship for her to be in bed with you, you moron!

Breeana had slept in one of the other guest rooms last night. But he knew he had gotten to her when he’d caressed her thigh. Hell, he had given himself a major jones with that little maneuver. He had also set himself up for a late night dip in the lake before he could get his body settled down enough to sleep. So much for his promise to his captain. He’d tossed it overboard without so much as breaking a sweat.

Sully pulled on shorts and went in search of Breeana. Sounds of laughter floated up from the dock. He poured himself a coffee and sauntered barefoot outside to the deck. Sunshine reflected off clear water as he zeroed in on her, a flash of yellow bikini and tantalizing flesh skimming the waves. At the sight of her, instant arousal arced through him. Hell, I’ve got it bad. He glanced away from her in order to get his body under control, again wishing she had been in his bed when he’d opened his eyes this morning. But, life wasn’t always fair.

She swam with Bear and Bruiser, diving down when they got too close and bobbing to the surface in a different location. The killer dogs were into the game, yipping and tongue-lolling while they attacked the waves and charged after her through the water.

“Hey! Mermaid or not, you’d better not let those beasts catch you, or they’re going to drown you out there!”

“There’s slim chance of that happening, Sully. If I need help, I’ll holler.” Her laughter rippled across the bay as she dove deep to steer clear of the dogs.

Theo, clad in cut-offs and sunglasses, lounged on an Adirondack chair on the wharf with his Glock by his side as he scanned the horizon. “Sully, it’s about time you rolled your old carcass out of bed.”

“Old carcass? Right,” Sully snorted as he sank into a matching chair, rubbed a hand along his rock solid six-pack, and checked the time on his watch. “The fourteen month age difference between us doesn’t make me an old man. Besides, it’s only eight o’clock and I’m not a morning person, not when I don’t have to be anywhere.”

He sipped his coffee and rolled it back over his tongue. “Thanks for watching Breeana.”

“Well, she’s a damn pleasure to watch. If I’d known there would be days like today, I would have become a lifeguard.”

“Better get your own woman to fulfill those fantasies, little brother,” Sully growled. “The only guy doing any mouth-to-mouth resuscitation on Breeana is me.”

“Relax. She’s only got eyes for you, man.
