KELTIE

“Come on,” Dylan called from the door. I took an extra minute in front of the mirror in my room to check my hair and then thought what was the point. I was going to get hot and messy within the hour anyway. My mind directly wandered to Diego, but no, not that type of thought. We had work to do now on our sculpture.

Running out the door, I walked next to Dylan. “So I thought we could work on one large turtle and then put smaller animals on his shell and around him? What do you think?” I always valued Dylan’s opinion for this kind of thing.

“We want to make sure they can tell what it is right away. Do you think a turtle has enough detail for that?”

I tapped my hand on my chin. “That’s true. Okay, so what about a 3-D view as if you were really scuba diving underwater: flora and fauna, seaweed, fish. We can build it up and have a few layers. That will really give the best visual effect.”

He clapped his hands together. “Genius. That’s why they call you ‘The King.’”

“I wouldn’t go that far.” My competitive spirit was kicking in as I envisioned the idea. “But we should try to win this one.”

He pushed his hand in the air in a fist pump. “Yes, beat that Diego Vega after he won last time.”

“Ah … yeah, about him.” I could feel a blush creep up as my cheeks heated.

“You didn’t? Oh, you dog. Was it good? Tell me, where did it happen, how—” I shoved my hand over his mouth. “No, even better, did you find out what they’re doing for the competition?”

I laughed heartily. “Funny, that never even came up. We just click or something. I can’t even explain it. But we are ‘something,’ I guess. I did tell him what happened last year, so I’m just going to take it as it comes. Okay, enough with the third degree.”

He held his hands up. “Of course. I’m just teasing you.”

“But I promise you, nothing will get in the way of the competition. We just do our thing as usual.”

“Oh, totally. No, I never would have thought that. I’m happy if you’re happy. You deserve it.”

We walked the rest of the way to the sculpting area, both in our own thoughts. Once we arrived, the heat was overwhelming and we hadn’t even started digging or creating anything.

I put my bag down and went to the small shaded change area to put on sunscreen, then pulled out my Tilley hat. It was hideous but needed in these circumstances. Someone popped in their head and I turned. My face went from stunned to smiling when I saw Diego there. “Oh, hello stranger.”

“Want me to get your back,” he murmured. As he rubbed the sunscreen on me, I tried not to moan too much or let my erection show.

“Okay, thank you.” I turned to him. “If you keep going like this, I’ll be walking out to my spot with a huge hard-on.
