Chapter 12

Trip looked at Zoe. Hard was right.

He’d been hard since she’d opened the door earlier and he’d seen her in the soft sundress, with fabric so thin it would take nothing to rip it off her. Then she’d returned in short shorts and a mesh top that showed off the deep red of her bikini top. He couldn’t help but remember the red halter he’d stripped her of that fateful night when he’d lost control of his senses.

It seemed each time he was around Zoe his ability to think, to reason, was as effective as grasping at gossamer spiderwebs in the hope of turning them into nylon rope.

They paddled their kayaks toward shore, having traversed the circumference of the lake.

“You know this conversation has gotten too serious for kayaking.” She took her paddle and slapped the water, splashing him. She laughed at his wet, shocked face.

“You think that’s funny?” He cocked a challenging brow.

“Sure do.” She raised her paddle to splash him again and he grabbed it and gave it a yank. She squealed and went into the drink. Now it was his turn to laugh when she broke the surface bouncing like a buoy since the life jacket shot her straight up.

She wiped water from her face and slicked back her hair, looking even sexier wet.

This wasn’t a good idea.

“You’re going to pay for that.” The glint in her eye should have had him back paddling as fast as he could. She reached him before his mind engaged the warning. She reached up and flipped his kayak.

Instead of popping to the surface like she did, he swam deeper, his muscles straining against the objecting life jacket. He came up under her, grabbing her legs and dunking her under again.

He waited for her as she surfaced, sputtering. “You forgot who the water fight champion is,” he said.

“That was underhanded.” She slapped him with water. He returned spray until they were acting like kids in an all-out water war.

Swimming toward her, he reached out and hauled her into his arms. The life jackets kept them buoyant so neither had to fight to stay afloat. A smile lighted her face, her eyes shining like emeralds in the evening sun.

“God, you’re beautiful,” he said, right before his mouth took hers.

On a moan she returned the kiss, her legs coming up and locking around his hips. He answered her action with a guttural groan. What he wouldn’t give to slip inside her, right here, right now.

Before the kiss got away from him—and all the blood in his brain reported to his second in command—he broke away. He held her but put some space between them.

“You sure have a way about you,” she said, her legs still locked around him and her eyes dazed with passion. “You make me stupid.”

He gave a low chuckle. “Right back at you. I do believe we’ve proved that there is no rational thinking to be had when our lips engage.”

“Hmm, but boy, it feels sooo good,” she hummed and arched against him.
