Mariska buried her toes into the wet sand and squealed as the tepid waves rolled over her ankles. As the tide ebbed, it pulled at her feet. “I’m moving!” she cried.
“It only feels like you are.” Kai chuckled. He wore short, form-fitting pants provided by the resort and nothing else. He waded into the water up to his knees, showing no self-consciousness even though he bared more skin than she did in her thigh-skimming sarong. She did not intend to immerse herself. The way the waves crashed and churned into white froth looked dangerous. She could be swallowed by the ocean. From the safety of the cabana, the water had appeared much more placid. Kai’s boyish grin of delight, as much as his coaxing and cajoling, had convinced her to inch into the shallows.
Despite her nervousness, she appreciated his body, broad in shoulder and chest, narrow in waist and hips. The way his biceps bulged, his back, his thighs, caused her stomach to curl and her womanhood to grow damp. The brevity of his shorts accentuated rather than covered his masculine appeal.
Waves lapped at his thighs. He flashed a grin over his shoulder then dove head first and disappeared! She ventured several steps forward. “Kai!” Water swirled around her shins. With relief, she spotted him beneath the surface. He moved like a fish, using his feet as a tail fin, cutting a clean streak away from the shore. Not a fish, she adjusted her estimation. The man moved like an…underwater attack missile. His feet came up as he flip turned and streaked straight for her.
He’ll stand up.
But he didn’t.
He got closer and closer, like a predator stalking its prey, and though it was Kai, she fled, racing for the dubious safety of the cabana. He charged out of the surf and caught up with her before she reached dry sand.
He shook himself, flinging droplets. “Where are you headed, sweetheart?” He grinned wickedly.
“Back to the hut.” She sidled away, but he grabbed her hand, tugged her near, and swung her up into his arms. Water from his body soaked through her sarong. “You’re getting me wet!” She kicked her feet in protest.
“That’s the plan.” He strode toward the sea.
“Stop! What are you doing?”
“Taking you for a dip.”
“No! I can’t move like a fish like you.”
“You don’t need to swim. It’s not deep, and I won’t let anything happen to you,” he said. Up to his hips in the ocean, he plunked her onto her feet. Much shorter than he, Mariska found herself up to her waist, with swells lapping at her breasts. She shrieked, and clutched at his arms. He never broke his hold but steadied her with his hands around her midsection.
“You’ve observed life from sidelines long enough,” Kai said. “I’m not going to let you watch the ocean from the beach.”
Nervousness receded. The deeper water was actually calmer than it was at the shore. Feeling braver, she released her grip on his arms. He smiled. She licked her lips and got another surprise.
