His whole upper torso was covered in tattoos. When he wore his three piece suits, it was easy to forget he was a Mafia. He almost looked like a clean-cut businessman. Almost.
My eyes roamed down his abs and I swore, I felt drool drip down my chin. That bronze skin and ink tempted me. If only he’d take off his shorts. My toes sunk into the soft sand, relishing in the feel of it and my body relaxing with each minute spent on the beach.
After removing my sundress, revealing the bikini I wore beneath it, I waded into the water, the cool blue water lapping at me while the sun warmed my skin. I needed to cool off. Like right the fuck now. I took a deep breath of the humid air, while a breeze swept through my hair.
The water sparkled around me, coming to my thighs and leaving my tiny two piece bathing suit out of the water.
It was when Jungkook put his phone away and lifted his head that I thought I’d combust. His eyes landed on me and the temperature shot up another hundred degrees. And it wasn’t cold to start with.
Sweat glistened on my skin, tickling like drops of oil as it ran between my breasts.
I swallowed a loud gulp and my heart thundered a hundred miles per hour. In this heat, it was bound to give me a heart attack. Thankfully, Nevio and the puppy played about ten feet away in the shallow water, enjoying the shade.
And I finally got my wish. Never shifting his eyes from me, he kicked off his shoes and then took off his shorts.
Finally!
In his powerful stride, he powered through the sand and reached the crystal blue waters in a matter of seconds. He flicked a gaze to check on Nevio and the puppy, then returned his attention to me.
I glanced around, but nobody apart from us was here.
After all, it was a private island.
He stopped two feet from me. My breathing shallowed.
My skin burned and it had nothing to do with the heat of the sun and everything to do with the look in his eyes.
Devouring me.
My stomach flipped, and my heart rate sped up as I imagined his mouth on me.
And I held my breath. Waiting.
He leaned closer. I could feel his warm, minty breath tickling my flesh. His fingers cradled my face and his mouth brushed against mine. His tongue swept across my bottom lip. Feather soft. Then his nose nudged against mine.
I inhaled the scent of him deep into my lungs. A mixture of ocean and Aguardiente.
Safety.
A loud giggle traveled through the air, mixing with the waves crashing against the shore. Both of us turned our heads in its direction to find Nevio rolling in the shallow water while Bruno licked his face, his little nub wagging a hundred miles an hour.
Jungkook’s booming laughter followed and I could feel the vibration of it deep in my soul. It was a loud and contagious laugh, and I found myself smiling too.
The two of us made our way through the crystal blue waters toward them and the moment we got closer, Nevio sat up. The happy expression on his face warmed my heart more than the heat of the southern sun. His blue eyes shone mischievously and the moment we took another step towards him, he shot to his feet and splashed us.
I squealed at the feel of the cold water against my warm skin. Without thinking, I took cover behind Jungkook’s big body. He went to move but I put my hands on both of his biceps.
“Don’t you dare move,” I giggled. “You’re hot. You can cool off.”
Another splash of water followed and I laughed so hard, tears pricked my eyes.
“Come on, big bad devil,” I teased him, nudging him forward. “You’re not scared of a little boy and a puppy, are you?”
Woof. Woof.
I peeked around Jungkook’s big body. Bruno was soaked by now. Barking at the waves, then biting the white caps. Nevio was wet too, his hair sticking to his forehead and a big grin on his face.
In one swift move, before I realized what was even happening, Jungkook swept me up into his arms and the next splash landed on me.
“Brrrr.” I folded over and curled up further into Jungkook, stealing his heat. “The water is too cold,” I complained, my fists pounding on his chest. “Put me down. Now!”
“No chance,” Jungkook answered, grinning. “This devil quite enjoys a water fight. As long as an angel is in my arms.”
