"Hero?" I attempt to swat at him again but soon regret it as I nearly fall, leaving me with no option but to cling onto him even more.
He throws his head back and laughs which only annoys me more.
"Jo, honestly, if you could see your face.." He chuckles.
"Coming from the half naked guy who's standing in the middle of the ocean!?" I counter.
"Not quite the middle, Jo. Not yet." He smirks.
"Ugh, Hero! Enough already. Take me back! Now." I demand.
"What's the magic word?"
I sigh and say "Please."
"Please.. What."
"I don't know, please now?"
He shakes his head and smiles. "Wrong." And begins to lower me.
"No! Wait, wait, wait. Uhmm.."
"Better be quick Jo, I can't hold you forever." He smirks.
"Uh, um.. Please.. Hero?!"
"There. Wasn't so hard was it?" He lifts me higher, his warm hands cupping my cheeks; half through the denim and half skin to skin.
Smirking, he positions me over his shoulder again before returning to the beach.
At one point, he nearly fell causing us both to yell which is how I could tell it wasn't deliberate.
"Come on, we need to go and get the car!" I say jumping down and dusting myself off.
"Jo, in case you haven't noticed.. It's practically pitch black." He sounds taken aback.
"So?" I shrug.
"So.. The car will have to wait." He says, sliding into his jeans and pulling them up.
For a moment I'm distracted again, unable to stop myself from looking.
Guys always look so good when you can see the tops of their boxers over their jeans.. Well, I think so anyway.
It's only when his hands buckle the belt and pull up his zip that I realise I really need to look away.
"What? No, but Anna?!" I shake my head out of my previous trance.
"I'm sure she would understand." He instantly dismisses my concerns.
"But we can't just leave it there!" I tell him.
"And we can't go back either. Well, I can but not with you. Not like this. I need to get you back first." He says shaking his top off and pulling it over him.
"Hero.." I say, my tone evidently annoyed.
"Jo.." He mocks me as his head pops through the top of his top.
