Down by the water, I find Cozy and Ripley, their laughter filling the air as they playfully dip their toes in. Cozy’s red curls cascade down her back, catching the sunlight and creating a fiery glow. Her slender figure is delicately wrapped in a pretty green sundress, the fabric falling gracefully just below her knees. The cream cardigan draped across her shoulders shields her fair skin from the sun—and my eyes—but gods, she’s still beyond enchanting. I find myself unable to do anything but stand there—completely mesmerized—and gaze in awe.

Rip’s eyes lock onto me before I can say anything, a mischievous smirk forming on her lips as she spots the weighty basket in my grasp.

“Zeke, what brings you all the way down here?” she teases, her eyes sparkling with mirth.

I clear my throat and smile awkwardly when Cozy turns to see who Ripley is talking to. Her eyes light up when she sees me, her cheeks taking on a pink tinge. I walk closer, that invisible rope pulling me to her until I’m at the water’s edge directly in front of her.

“I, uh, wis wonderin’ if ye’d like tae have a picnic wi’ me?”

Her clear blue eyes on mine ensnare me, causing my heart to race uncontrollably. She’s the most breathtaking sight I’ve ever laid eyes on, and I can’t help but feel undeserving of her presence and completely inadequate.

She glances over at Ripley, who smiles encouragingly at her. When she turns back to me, her beaming smile lights up her face, and her eyes shimmer with joy as she gazes up at me.

“I’d love to,” she murmurs, biting her lip and tucking her hair behind her right ear.

The corners of my mouth turn up into a smile that I can’t suppress, and my heart skips a beat in response. In an instant, a wave of elation washes over me, electrifying every nerve in my body.

“Aww. Young love. So stinkin’ cute!”

Ripley sighs dreamily, and when I glance at her, she’s batting her lashes at us. Cozy’s cheeks burn the brightest shade of pink, and I have to bite back the groan that tries to crawl its way out at the sight.

Fucking phenomenal.

“Well, I’ll just get out of your way. Have fun, you two!”

Ripley winks at me and smacks me on the arse when she passes me. I turn to glare at her, which only makes her laugh as she takes off back up to the house. I huff out an exasperated sigh and roll my eyes, then turn back to the woman of my dreams to give her a lopsided smile.

“Little sisters are the worst,” I joke, and she laughs softly.

“I wouldn’t know,” she shrugs with a light laugh as I hold the crook of my arm out for her to take.

The instant her tiny hand touches my skin, a surge of tingles shoots through my arm, causing a shiver to ripple down my back. With her so close to me, her mouthwatering lemon tart scent tickles my nose, and I can’t help but inhale discreetly.
