shallower water, her body still cradled in his arms. “You’re crazy,” she teased. Jason set her down on the steps that descended into the pool and moved to kneel on a lower step, facing her.
“That’s what they tell me.” He splashed her playfully.
“So that was one thing. What’s the second?” she asked flirtatiously.
“Oh, well, the second thing,” he said with mock seriousness, “is very important. It’s something that you really can’t go without.” He placed his hands on Dani’s legs and pulled himself closer. “Or maybe it’s just something I can’t go without. I guess we’ll see.”
“And that is…?”
“Something I’ve been wanting to do from the moment I saw you,”
Dani forced herself to breath as Jason slid one hand slowly up her back until it rested on the back of her neck. He leaned in, brushed his lips against her cheek, and whispered in her ear. “This.” He moved his mouth along her jaw line, kissing her softly. Dani turned her head to meet his mouth, but he was working his way down to her neck. Dani rested her hands on his biceps and tilted her head back, momentarily delirious while she enjoyed the feel of his kisses. He kissed her neck confidently and firmly and just when she thought she might fall into a permanent state of bliss, Jason’s mouth found hers.
Dani might not have kissed that many boys before, but she knew enough to appreciate that Jason was good. Gentle yet firm, light kisses interspersed with stronger, deeper ones. She had to will herself to keep kissing him and not break out into a giddy smile. She was making out with the dreamiest, hunkiest, yummiest, most kissable…
“I should probably go,” he whispered in her ear.
“Huh?” Dani opened her eyes and shook herself out of her kissing stupor. “Yes. Absolutely. I was just about to say that. You should probably go.”
“You were not going to say that,” he said, calling her on her lie.
“Okay, fine, you’re right.” This time Dani splashed him. “But I have to get ready for tonight anyway.”
Jason took her hand and helped her up from the steps of the pool. “I wish you were going to be here longer.”
“Yeah, I know.” She unconsciously raised her fingers to her lips. “But I’m glad we had today together.”
“Bye, Dani.” Jason gave her one last quick kiss and then walked past the pool toward the path that would lead him to the side of Mark’s house and out of her life. She quickly grabbed her phone off of a small table and flipped it open, aiming at Jason. This must be the reason they built cameras into cell phones, she thought as she admired Jason’s backside.
Without warning, Jason turned around and caught her with the phone raised out in front of her. “Are you taking a picture of my ass?” He flashed her his sexy grin.
“No.” Dani held his look with her eyes. “Yes.”
Jason laughed. “You want me to hold still for a second?”
“Yes.” Dani aimed and snapped the perfect shot. Sam would flip out when Dani sent this to her. “Got it. You can go now.”
When Dani was sure he was out of hearing distance, she let out a yell and cannonballed into the pool. She swam the length of the pool underwater and emerged at the far end. She leaned her head against the edge of the pool, closed her eyes, and replayed her steamy interlude with Jason for the first of what she knew would be a thousand times. God, was he adorable! And the way he’d been kissing her neck had been so eager and sensuous. Dani wasn’t in the habit of making out with guys she barely knew, but she’d only had one shot with Jason, she reasoned, so she had to make the most of it. And she didn’t regret it one bit.
Her phone beeped , and Dani got out of the water to check it. There was one text message.
Nice cannonball.
