Was it even okay to look, or would he call her out for gawking?
“You look amazing,” he said, his voice rough with emotion. “I don’t think it’s legal to leave the house like that.”
She looked down at the attired. “What? You don’t think so? It’s a swimsuit wrap, but I can go cover …”
He grabbed her by the waist and kissed her to quiet her. His hands traveled up her back and then back down to grip her ass. He pulled her into him so much that she could feel his erection beginning to harden.
“Don’t you dare say that you’re gonna go cover up. You look good enough to eat, and in fact, I might have to do just that before we leave. I don’t think I’ll be able to control myself all day with you looking as delicious as this.”
She blushed and rolled her eyes. “It’s a little much, Parker. No way I’m that distracting.” She wasn’t surprised at all. She knew this would happen.
His eyes burned in response. Before she could even catch up to what was going on, Parker picked her up off the floor and threw her over his shoulder. He kicked the front door closed behind him and made his way to her bedroom. He set her down with all of the gentleness he could muster. With the tips of his fingers, he pulled the wrap down the length of her arms until it pooled at her feet.
Then, he hooked his fingers in the waistband of her bikini briefs and slid them down her legs. He growled when he pushed her gently onto the edge of the bed.
“Spread your legs for me, Rosebud. I wanna see you.”
She complied with his request, but only because she was so curious to see what he would do. He knelt in front of her as he ran his hands up and down her thighs. His eyes were still on her, burning and devouring all at once.
“You ready for this?” he asked.
She shook her head. “I don’t know what you want to do.”
He grinned. “Yes, Rosebud. You know exactly what I want to do. But if you wanna be coy, that’s fine too. This is what I wanna do.” He leaned over and took a long slow lick of her core. He darted his tongue over her clit, lilting an immediate response in all of her body.
“Oh,” she gasped, letting her upper body fall onto the bed.
Parker took this for the permission that it was. He continued to deliver slow but purposeful licks to her slit, making sure to pass over her nub with every stroke. Jade couldn’t keep quiet. Every touch of his tongue on her made her cry out.
Her release built hard and fast. Parker’s mouth knew where to touch her, and his own groans of appreciation made it all that much better. Heenjoyeddoing this. Pleasuring her. Making her lose control. Helikedit. Because he likedher.
Jade closed her eyes, relishing each wet swipe against her heated core. Flames licked at her from the inside, and she felt her body shiver with need. She was off on a floating cloud made of licks and kisses when her release took hold.
She cried out his name and gripped his hair. He didn’t stop until she was a panting, shaking mess in his arms. He kissed up her leg before sitting back and looking at her right in the eyes.
“I couldn’t have focused the entire day if I didn’t do that. Been thinking of doing that all damn morning.” He kissed her knee. “You ready to go?”
She blinked at him. “Are you serious? Did you not just … Parker! I need a minute. My legs won’t work for a few minutes.”
He chuckled as he settled on the bed next to her. “That good, huh?”
She snorted. “Are you really fishing for compliments about your sexual prowess?” A giggle bubbled out of her when he nodded.
“Oh, yeah. Tell me how good it was. I want to see you blush again, Rosebud.” He trailed his fingers down her cheek.
As she moved closer to him to kiss him, Jade knew they were totally going to be late for their canoe reservations. Obviously, she didn’t care. Not when Parker started stripping out of his clothes.

It tookJade and Parker a little while to leave the house. Thankfully, Jack was a friend, and he would no doubt assume something had come up and would keep their rental free. Jade had known him for a long time, and because of her friendship with Nora Ledger, Jade knew a whole lot about Jack Hayes.
Nora had been in love with Jack for a long time, and everyone in town knew she had the biggest crush on him. Jade had spent a lot of time canoeing with Nora over the years so her friend could try to flirt with Jack. It never worked, though. Nora always chickened out.
Jack Hayes owned and operated the rental shop by the lake, having taken it over from an uncle. The Hayes family had owned the shop for as long as anyone … probably even Mrs. Francis … could remember. There were all kinds of watercraft for rent, but most of them didn’t have motors to keep the lake as clean as possible.
“Hey, Jack,” she called out to him.
The man lifted his head from the lifejacket he was mending and grinned. “Well, well. If it isn’t two of Half Moon Key’s favorite lovers.”
