PAUL...
"Please."
That's all he had to say. I was powerless to stop when that sweet word came rolling off his tongue. There was just something about Paul Lahote and that sexy voice of his that I just couldn't shake. I didn't know how to tell him...

"Quit!" I screeched at Paul as he cannonballed off the end of the dock and splashed me with a huge wave.
We'd been in the water for more than an hour and we were having the best time. Embry was being playful and fun as well and I hoped he hadn't noticed what Paul and I had been doing under the tree.
I couldn't stop thinking about it.
And I couldn't wipe the smile off my face every time I thought about it. I don't know what possessed me to take my bikini top down and show Paul my breasts. Well… I guess I do know. It was the way he asked. Hell, he didn't even ask me. He just demanded it. Take it off. Just thinking about it made me shiver.
For all the messing around we had done, that was the first time he had seen me topless. I wasn't lying when I said I was throbbing. I was just happy we got into the water shortly after so that no one could see how damp my bikini bottoms were. Paul did something to my body that I couldn't explain. And the only thing I knew was, I wanted more of that feeling.
I squealed when I felt something touch my leg. Paul surfaced near me, pushing the water off his face and through his inky black hair with both hands. "You are such a scaredy-cat!" he teased. As mad as I was, I couldn't deny how truly beautiful he was.
I splashed him before attempting to swim away, but he was too fast catching up to me just before I made it to the dock. "Where do you think you're going?" he murmured into my ear.
I squirmed in his arms, causing him to loosen his grip on me. "I'm getting out," I announced.
Paul swam up behind me as I gripped the dock edge. "Stay in and play with me," he growled lowly against the center of my back.
I gasped when he slid his hands up my thighs and encircled my waist. "I'm hungry," I whined as my body betrayed me and I leaned against his broad chest.
"Me too," he laughed as he attacked my neck with kisses.
"You're so bad," I sighed even as I tilted my head and allowed him better access to my neck.
"You love it," he whispered into my ear. I could feel him pressing into me from behind. My nipples hardened painfully from Paul's teasing and I couldn't help but smile when I thought how far we had come since that day on the beach when he first saw me in a bikini. Oh how times have changed.
When I was finally able to wriggle away from Paul, I made my way back to the blanket under the tree and began spreading out our picnic lunch. "This looks great!" Embry gushed as he collapsed next to me and grabbed a handful of apple slices.
"Are you having fun?"
Embry nodded and glanced out across the field to the SUV that had just pulled off. "I am. And I know you are too. You and Paul, huh?"
I shrugged and couldn't control my smile. "I guess so. I know he's an ass sometimes, but…"
