CHAPTER TWENTY-FIVE
FINALLY, KIP RELEASED her. âI thought you said there was no kissing on this boat,â Jeannie murmured. Kip looped his arm around her while he kept the other on the wheel. His heart pounded harder than hers.
âYeah, well, I guess thereâs an exception to every rule. But no more. If we keep this up, Iâll want to make love to you, and I donât want to do it on this boat.â
Caught by surprise, she stared up at him with a soft smile forming.
âChrist, Jeannie, youâve got to quit looking at me like that. Those green eyes of yours are killing me. Donât you have some sunglasses you can put on?â
She laughed. âActually, I do.â
âCan you put them on at least until my William Tell cools off? We need to get to that cove.â
âYour William Tell? Is that what you call your...â She deliberately looked down toward his crotch and grinned.
âIn polite conversations, yes.â
âWhy do men do that?â
âDo what?â
âName their...â
âCocks? I donât know but we do.â
âWell, we sure donât want a hot William Tell on our hands, now do we. Iâll hunt up those sunglasses of mine, and you can get us back on track.â
âThanks.â
She started to walk away and stopped. She hated it when those damn, stupid insecurities of hers raised their heads.
âKip?â He turned around. âDid you really mean what you just said, about...well, making love to me?â
His mouth dropped open and he stared for just a moment. Obviously, sheâd been wrong. His eyes went dark, unreadable, and his mouth quirked in a funny way. And then she realized he was working overtime at trying not to laugh. Jeannie crossed her arms and looked a little embarrassed.
âYouâre laughing at me, arenât you?â
âIâm trying not to, but itâs hard, and Iâll add, like everything else on my body. Jesus, Jeannie, I donât know how much more obvious I must make it!â
Kip sensed her embarrassment. âCome here.â He reached out and pulled her back into the crook of his arm.
âSweetheart, you drive me nutty in more ways than I can say,â he whispered in her ear. âI want to make love to you, but I want it to be someplace special, not here on this boat just because, well you know, neither one of us can think straight. I want to wake up in the morning and find you next to me. Just you and meâno work, no schedules, nothing but us.â He held her tight and let their bodies sway with the boat movement.
âBesides,â he added, âI want to hear you utter those famous words, âman youâre good!â.â
Relieved, she laughed. âThanks.â
âFor what?â
âFor making me laugh. I think Iâll go find those sunglasses and visit the toilet. Does it work?â
âI hope so. Yell up if it doesnât.â
After visiting the head, Jeannie snooped around to see what the rest of the main cabin looked like. In its heyday, the yacht had been luxurious, but over time, the owner had allowed her to fall into disrepair. It saddened her to see a beautiful old gal needing a makeover.
