The Woman He Married

24. At The Beach

"Don't get hard," Zane told her while he was applying suncreen on her chest, stealing chances to grope her in the split second.

"You don't even let me take off my top, what's the point of applying it on my boobs?" Mae scoffed. She gathered her hair up and lied on her stomach so Zane could lather her back side with the sunscreen.

"I'm a thorough person," his hands lingered on her ass a little longer. Mae swatted his hand and he chuckled softly.

"You're a pervert," Mae called him out. She hummed softly, recalling how their morning went as he rubbed the sunscreen over her back, then he squeezed her shoulders where his hands were.

It was the perfect temperature outside, so they decided to spend some time at the beach. Although Zane made it clear that it wasn't a nude beach and she was lying about wanting to sunbathe in nude, it was apparent that the beach allows people to get naked if they want to. There were no children in sight, too. Just adults as far as the eyes can go.

Mae exhaled as she looked around while Zane untied her top. She saw a woman lying topless a few feet away and then sighed, "It's unfair."

"What is?" Zane asked, putting the sunscreen aside before tying her top again.

"You get to see other girls' boobs but I don't get to take off my top."

"I will only look at yours," he said, glancing at her chest as he passed the sunscreen to her.

"Sure, I'll believe that," Mae scoffed, shaking the bottle a little. She reached for her back and touched the knot to realize that Zane had tied her top bikini with a dead knot instead of a loop. "Zane."

"Let me know if you want to take it off," he hummed, "I'll help you, but not in public."

"But I can take it off like thi--" Mae giggled as he covered her chest when she pretended to take her top off through her head.

"Mae," he clicked his tongue.

"I'm just kidding," she chuckled. Mae opened the cap of the sunscreen bottle and it splashed over her face.

"Oops," Zane muttered, staring at her as the squirts looked quite familiar. "That reminds me of my babies on your face."

"Stop, not right now," Mae rolled her eyes as she wiped it off and smeared it across his chest.

"We should do a rain check," he said suggestively as she lathered the sunscreen all over his body. His breath caught when she made eye contact while making sure she lathered it well down his v-line. He caught her wrist and they shared a laughter.

"Now you know how frustrating that felt," she scoffed, moving on to his back. Right after she was done, Mae reached for the string of his shorts and tied a dead knot out of it. "In this household, we play fair."

"Fair enough," Zane shrugged.

"If I see you flashing your V-cut abs on your way back, someone will be seeing my underboobs."

"And that someone will be me," Zane pointed out. He stole a kiss from her before leaving to go for a swim in the waters.

Mae took out her ringing phone from their bag and answered the call from Alaia, "Yes, babes."

"I need update: is Zane with you now? If not, I'll be on my way to raid his place."

"He's with me now," Mae scoffed, glancing at the watch, "Did you just wake up?"

"Good. Yes, I just woke up. So who was that woman at the hospital?"

"His client."

"Damn, he's still married to his work, huh?" Alaia scoffed, "But if he's with you now, then we don't have to worry about it."
