Chapter Thirty-One

Sebastian

After an entire day of Darcy taking control and trying to get me to see how things roll on the other side of the tracks—her words, not mine—I had to admit, the day rivaled some of the best times I’d ever had.

I loved her energy, her presence, and most of all, I loved her laugh and how her eyes ignited like gemstones when she smiled. We’d pulled back on the booze before and during snorkeling for obvious reasons, but the joyous energy from our Fear Factor lunch delicacies had remained.

I was now on a mission to keep this newfound sense of happiness and freedom I’d surprisingly found. It felt like I’d jumped off the ledge of where life had a stronghold tightened around my neck, and now, I was no longer merely surviving. I was full-on thriving. It was the best feeling in the world, and I would do everything in my power to keep this rush of good emotions charged up.

“How am I supposed to enjoy swimming in the pool if I have to see your gorgeous ass over there lounging in a bathing suit?” I questioned Darcy as soon as I completed a couple dozen laps in the pool. I’d been trying to work out the sensations I knew could not come into play, which were all the sexually related things that’d been crossing my mind about the gorgeous woman.

She pulled down her turquoise-rimmed sunglasses and grinned. “I’m in a one-piece, and I’m hardly showing any skin, so get your mind out of the gutter,” she said after I swam up to the side of the pool to chat with her.

“What are you reading?” I asked, nodding my head toward the e-reading device she held.

“Why does it matter?”

“Because it’s hot out, and the pool feels amazing. After snorkeling in the ocean, I figured you’d want to take a dip in the pool?”

“I planned on going for a swim, but you beat me to it with your record-breaking Olympic trial laps.”

“Well, I would have waited until later to get my laps in if I knew your sexy ass wanted to use the pool, too.”

“Very cute,” she said with a hint of annoyance. “You’re using all these flirty words on me, but you’d better keep swimming to keep any sexual ideas out of your head because it’s not going to happen, bud.”

“How could you tell I was sexually frustrated after having to watch you smack on dead grasshoppers all afternoon?” I teased.

“Well, it’s tough for me, too,” she tried to act annoyed. “I was so turned on watching you snorkel, stopping every three seconds to check above the water for a dorsal fin because you were terrified Jaws was coming after you.”

I could tell she was trying to put up a front with me and continue our charade of acting like we weren’t remotely attracted to each other or bonded from our afternoon together today. I could see through the imaginary barrier she was putting up and knew she was at least a little more comfortable in my presence.
