live this dream for two weeks. Some days he has to meet clients and suppliers, but the days he doesn’t? We ride. Sometimes Eddie joins us, sometimes he doesn’t, but Dave progresses steadily even on the days it’s just the two of us. It’s been years since I’ve enjoyed riding—or coaching—this much. And when we aren’t riding?

We frolic. God, he makes me shameless. The way I crave him isn’t about sex; it’s about him. It’s about how reading his blushes makes me smile, and how getting him to laugh puffs me up with pride. I spend the night more often than not, and on those nights, I end up stashing my riding gear in his boathouse and energy drinks in his fridge.

“This is the wakeboarder’s equivalent of a drawer in my dresser,” he observes one morning as we’re stashing my gear next to his after a ride.

“Does it bother you?” I meet his eyes warily. It does feel very domestic.

“Not at all. I like you all up in my space.” He leans in for a kiss, and I fall into it, loving the taste of him. He pulls back and adds, “And if you want a drawer in my dresser, or a key to my house, that’s cool too.”

“I’ll keep that in mind.” I bite my lip. “This is getting kind of serious, isn’t it?”

“I think so. I want it to be. Do you?”

I swallow hard. Do I? Yes. But I still haven’t told you …

“I … yes. I think I do.”

“You think; you aren’t sure?” He takes my hand and leads me out of the boathouse and up toward the house. He watches me curiously, raises an eyebrow, but he doesn’t say anything further. I love how patient he is. I don’t answer him until we’re inside, shedding our clothes on our way to the shower to rinse away the sunscreen and lake water.

“I like you a lot, Dave. I like being with you and spending time with you and having sex with you. I like all those things, and I don’t want to do them with anyone else.”

“So what’s the problem?” He walks ahead of me into the bathroom, but looks back to let me know he’s still listening.

God, this isn’t the time for a serious conversation, not while he’s turning on the shower.

“I don’t want to talk about it right now.” I hold up a hand and step under the spray. “I’m not saying I don’t want to talk about it at all, or even soon, but I don’t think this is a conversation we should have while we’re naked.”

“Okay.” He shrugs. “But there is a problem?”

“Not with you.” I frown. “But I need to tell you something kind of major, and it might change your mind. Maybe we can talk at dinner?” My gut churns. But I owe him honesty. I can do honesty, remember?

“That’s fine. But, baby, I don’t think anything you could tell me is going to change my mind.”

I hope he’s right. Because it might just break my heart if it does.
