The sun was dipping toward the horizon when we rounded the point and sailed back toward the McMastersâ dock. Mark Peterson, the property manager, came out of the boatshed and helped secure the boat.
âHow was it? Did you guys enjoy your swim?â he asked.
âYep,â Rickie said, âand this boat goes like a dream. I canât thank you enough for keeping her in such great shape.â
Mark snorted, âHey, I canât take any credit. Iâm just the circus director around here who cracks the whip over all the guys who do the actual work.â
Rickie chuckled, âIâm sure itâs your ass on the line if anything isnât up to scratch.â
Mark winked, âI see you know how the world of the rich and powerful works.â
Then Rickie asked him, âCan you recommend a good restaurant?â He quickly added, âNot the kind where the rich and famous go. Just a nice, quiet place, with seafood or pizza.â He turned to me, âSorry, I havenât even asked. Is that okay with you, Tyler? Is there somewhere specific youâd like to go?â
I gazed at him for a beat. Were we back into pretend mode? But, for once, I was so thoroughly-fucked mellow that I quelled my insecurities and decided Rickie really meant it â he really wanted to spend an evening alone with me. I kissed his cheek, âAnywhere is fine with me, as long as youâre there.â
Mark grinned, âLeave it to me. Iâll make reservations and pick you up in an hour.â
âYou donât need to,â Rickie protested. âWe can get an Uber or a taxi.â
Mark retorted, âAll part of the service.â
Rickie took my arm and guided me back to our cottage. It was just as well because I was walking very gingerly, trying to minimize contact between my pants and my raw skin. I snorted with suppressed laughter and Rickie asked, âWhat?â
I whispered, âDo you think he noticed that Iâm walking like a cowboy whoâs been in the saddle too long?â
Rickie murmured, âIâve got some ointment. When we get to the cottage, I can rub some on forâ¦â
âOh no,â I said, âI know exactly where that will lead us. Your hands are not touching me again.â I smiled and leaned into him, âAt least not for a couple of hours.â
He nuzzled my neck and kissed my cheek.
