Paige POV
When I pivoted to head up toward the house,
Colton was standing in front of the water spigot with the hose in his hand,
spinning it, with a devilish look in his baby-blue eyes.
I came to an abrupt halt. With only twenty
feet between us, I gazed at him and apprehensively asked, “What are you doing?”
“I told you that you might want to wear
your swimsuit today. You should have taken my advice.” He advanced a step, and
I retreated one, causing him to pause. “It’s a hundred-foot hose, baby. And you
know I’ll catch you before you can make it to the house, so it’s best to come
quietly.”
I wasn’t going to make it easy on him. I
rapidly sidestepped to the right, and he followed, so I backed up.
“I doubt it.” I lifted my chin in the air
and kept my face impassive. “I can be quick on my feet.”
He shot me a dubious look and said, “Paige,
in our twelve years of school before college, you avoided gym class like the
plague, so you don’t fool me, sweet girl.”
I narrowed my eyes at the arrogant ass.
Now, I definitely wasn’t going to surrender to him. “You wouldn’t,” I seethed
in good humor.
His expression was full of challenge. “Baby”—he
stepped forward—“we both know I will
catch you.”
A hundred-foot hose had me at a serious
disadvantage. I had only one shot, so without another word, I whipped around on
my heels and ran for the backyard, straight toward the pear trees. My only
catch was hoping that I could weave between them, and he’d run out of hose.
Cold water hit my back as soon as I ducked
under the first tree. It was a shock to my system and definitely way colder
than I remembered as a kid.
“Colton!” I cried as
I darted to the left in between another row of trees. I was hoping to shield
myself with the leaves, but I had no such luck.
“You can’t outrun me, baby,” he said, right
on my tail.
I bobbed to the right, refusing to slow
down. The lower branches skimmed my shoulders as I continued to weave from side
to side. The air came and went from my lungs with deeper pants.
Damn,
I am so out of shape. When did that happen?
I pushed forward, but my short legs weren’t
quick enough. In no time, Colton’s arm banded around my waist, and we were
falling to the ground. A yelp of shock tore from my lungs as our feet tangled
with the hose. Colton managed to break my fall with his hands. I landed flat on
my back with his knees on either side of me, bracing his weight.
“Cold! Cold! Cold!” I squealed. I squirmed
beneath him as the tip of the hose soaked my stomach.
“Stay still.” Colton laughed. He stretched
one hand between us and grabbed the hose in an attempt to wiggle it free.
With no luck, he quickly flipped himself over
and tried to pull it off of us. It was still wrapped around both of our legs,
so he rolled us again. I felt dizzy.
“There.” He laughed and flung the hose off
to the side.
It was too late. I was soaked—my clothes,
my face, my hair. All of me was drenched in cold water. I peered up at Colton.
His hair was wet, sticking to his forehead. Water was dripping down his face,
from his cheeks to his full lips, making his skin glow in the light. Those baby-blue
eyes of his were beaming down at me with such love, making the drumming of my
heart erratically speed up.
My hands came to either side of his face
and caressed his cheeks, feeling his stubble beneath my palms. He was so
handsome that it made my chest ache.
“You’re in big trouble, mister,” I stated
breathlessly, fighting to keep my voice stern. “Big, big trouble,” I emphasized
each word.
He unleashed a boyish grin at me. “Nah, you
still love me.”
“Not today,” I lied, resisting his charms.
He leaned in, brushed his mouth along mine,
and alternated between placing short tender kisses and gentle nips along my
lower lip. It was difficult to remember why I was mad at him when he was
touching me.
I held my breath.
He whispered, “Surely, a little water couldn’t
diminish your love for me.”
“Cold
water,” I corrected him.
He glided his hand over my soaked jeans, up
the length of my sternum, and across to my breast to my taut nipple. I exhaled
sharply when he tweaked it in between his thumb and forefinger.
“Okay, maybe it was a little chilly,” he
surrendered. “Don’t worry. I have just the cure to warm you up.”
Butterflies took flight in my belly, yet I
couldn’t deny my urge to challenge him. I slid my hands into his hair and
pulled him closer. “I don’t believe you. I think you’re going to have to prove
me wrong.”
“I’m all too willing to oblige, sweet girl,”
Colton said.
And boy, did he ever.
