The Carter Family Screw Up [Carter Brothers - Book 2]

Twenty One - "Don't you dare."

2 hours later we were walking along the beach, looking for the perfect spot to sit. We found a place, dumped our bags onto the sand and I took out my towel and laid it down.

He already has swim shorts on, so he removed his shoes and tshirt as I removed my shoes, top and jeans, revealing my bikini. I looked to my side to see Daniels eyes roaming my body.

"Woah!"

"Something you like?" I said, innocently.

"Hell yeah." He took a step forward and pressed his lips against mine. "But there is one tiny thing I would change."

"What that?" I asked. He moved his mouth to my ear and gently whispered.

"This." In one movement, he hoisted me up, bridal style and began running towards the water.

"DONT YOU DARE!" I screamed. He laughed as he entered the water; both of us consumed by the freezing ocean. My feet found the ground beneath me and I threw myself at him.

"You're gonna pay for that Tattoo Boy!" I said, jumping on him and sending him underneath the water. He came back up laughing and grabbed me by the waist.

"You cant be mad at me, Sweetpea. I'm far too adorable." He said, smiling innocently and fluttering his eyelashes.

"Oh, now who's trying the give the cute face?" I asked.

"I bet it's working though." He said with a triumphant smirk. Who am I kidding? I couldn't resist him.

"Maybe." I said, wrapping my arms around his neck. I kissed him and his hands made their way to my ass, squeezing lightly.

"Hey! We're in public." I said, moving his hands back up to my waist.

"Oh, so if we were in private, you wouldn't have a problem with it?" He cocked an eyebrow.

"You'll have to wait and see, won't you." I teased.

"You are killing me, Sweetpea." He said and I winked back at him.

We spend the next few hours just relaxing, playing in the water and talking. It was really nice to spend time with him without having to clean up wounds or anything else.

Eventually it came time to leave and we packed up our stuff and made our way home.

"I think my parents arnt home - you wanna come in, watch a movie?" He asked.

"Oh you mean like last night?" I said with a smirk.

"Maybe." He said, throwing my own words back at me.

"So long as I can use your shower - I have sand in places it really shouldn't be." I said making him laugh.

"Come on Sweetpea." He said, grabbing our bags and we made our way into his house.

"I'm gonna head up and shower." I said.

"Okay. I'll make us a coffee and I'll meet you up there," He said.

I ran upstairs and straight to his bathroom to shower. Once I was done, i tied my hair up onto a top knot and changed into my jeans and wife beater. I bent down to grab my bag and I heard his footsteps behind me.

"If you were going to ask to join me in the shower, I'm sorry but you're too late." I said, standing back up and turning around. 

It wasn't Daniel's face i turned to see.

"Jake? What the hell are you doing in-"

And everything went black.
