Chapter 15

Lucy

Day one was a long but fun day. Mom had woken us all up for a huge breakfast and then we’d gone down for a few hours of fun on the beach before the heat became too unbearable. The twins had buried Dad in the sand while Mom had soaked up some sun as she read a book, and Harris had chased me in the surf, threatening to tickle me.

After that we’d gone on the Sea Dragon, which was a pirate adventure for kids. The twins always loved the two-hour-long ride and I enjoyed looking for dolphins while Mom and Dad relaxed inside with cool drinks and snacked on the biggest pickles I’d ever seen. Harris stayed with me during the entire boat ride, except for when Luca and Lyric soaked him with the water guns the pirates provided. I couldn’t stop laughing as he chased them around the deck.

After the pirate adventure we went back to the condo and ordered enough pizza to feed three families, but turned out to barely feed all the guys. All the fun had worked up a huge appetite in us all. Luca and Lyric crashed in front of the TV in the living room and Mom and Dad decided to go for a walk on the beach after carrying the boys to bed. That left Harris and I alone for the first time all day.

I wasn’t sure why, but I felt a little shy as he took my hand and pulled me down the hall to my room. He didn’t stop at my bed, though, which left me disappointed. I wanted to finish what we’d started the night before, but that wasn’t his plan and he stepped out onto the balcony before half closing the door behind us.

Still holding my hand, he stretched out on one of the loungers and tugged me down beside him. My head went instantly to his chest and a happy little sound escaped me when I felt him kiss the top of my head. It was insane. A week before I had been so miserable I’d cried myself to sleep every night. Now, I felt like I could float I was so content. Just a few days with Harris Cutter and everything seemed to be falling into place where it belonged.

“How about tomorrow we spend the day at one of the sandbars? Just the two of us.”

A smile lifted my lips and I pressed them into his chest. “Mm, I like that plan.”

“Can we get you a once-piece swimsuit before we go, though?” he asked in a slightly strangled voice, and my head snapped up, frowning at him. “That damn bikini you were wearing today nearly drove me mad, sweetness.”

I smirked. “Too bad. I’ve got plenty of bikinis. I’m not buying another swimsuit. Daddy didn’t complain, so you shouldn’t either.”

He blew out a long breath through his nose. “I’m not complaining. Not even a little. I’m thinking about my sanity, Lu. My sanity and us not getting arrested for public indecency for having sex on the beach.
