“Sure.” She clears her throat. “Thanks for your help with the groceries.”
“Anytime.” I walk to the back door and open it, then turn back to her. “Sleep well, Sarah.”
I walk to my house, resigned to another long night of thinking about the sexy woman sleeping less than a hundred feet from me, and how much I want her.
It’s going to be a long night.
“Proud Mary keep on burning…”
I glance over at the stage, where Sarah, June, and Luna are singing karaoke, including dance moves, and grin over the rim of my beer glass.
The six of us are at Lighthouse Pizza. The girls have been singing, dancing, and doing shots.
“Corner pocket,” Wolfe says, pointing to the pocket in question and takes a shot.
He misses.
“Shit,” he mutters in disgust as Apollo circles the table for his turn.
“If he makes this shot, he wins,” I remind him.
“Are youtryingto piss me off?” Wolfe asks, and I grin.
“I don’t have to try. You’re playing like shit tonight. What’s on your mind, man?”
Wolfe glances at the girls, takes a pull from the neck of the bottle of beer, and then sighs. “I’ve been asked to drive in a charity race.”
I shake my head. “What did Luna say? Did she throw a fit?”
“I haven’t told her.”
My head whips around, and I stare at the man in horror. Wolfe had averysuccessful career as an F1 driver, but he had a career-ending crash last year. He moved home to Huckleberry Bay to heal and start a new life, and he fell in love with Luna.
Hell, they’re engaged to be married.
“That’s not going to go over well.” I watch as Apollo lines up his shot. “She might throw you off the cliff next to the lighthouse.”
“I’m pretty sure I’m stronger than her,” he says and rubs the back of his neck. “Maybe. Look, I don’t know for sure that I’ll do it. I probably won’t be given the medical clearance for it, but the thought is damn tempting.”
“You miss racing.”
“Like I would a limb,” he confirms. “But I love her more.”
“You’ll do what’s best for both of you.”
The girls come bouncing over to us just as Apollo sinks the shot, and they retrieve their drinks.
“It’s handy having you guys around to guard our liquor,” June says and sips her gin and tonic. “We don’t have to worry about any roofies from strangers.”
“We’re the only ones here,” I remind her with a wink. “But, you’re welcome.”
“Looks like it’s our game now,” Apollo says to me. “You go ahead and break.”
I arrange the balls in the triangle and feel eyes on me. When I glance up, it’s Sarah who’s watching me with a hungry gaze that I recognize from many years ago.
She grins at me and slowly sips her drink.
She’s wearing a short dress with a low neckline that shows off her tits spectacularly.
