RHINO: A Bad Boy Sports Romance (With FREE Bonus Novel OFFSIDE!) by Abbey Foxx Page B

though that was as tricky as hell, I am almost a hundred percent sure it will be worth it.
    I’m back on the boat before Alex opens his eyes again, my pussy tingling and my pulse racing. He smiles, complicit in the game, happy I’ve pushed it that far to tease him.
    “ You’ll regret that.”
    “ Oh?”
    I lean over the edge to watch him swim towards the boat, his board shorts in my hands, ready to drop into the water for him.
    “ When you really can’t resist me, I might have to refuse”, he says.
    “ You, refuse? I don’t think so.”
    “ You might be surprised.”
    “ I’m willing to risk it.”
    “ Carry on, I might begin to think you’re flirting with me.”
    “ Nobody’s died from flirting, I think you’ll be alright.”
    I drop the board shorts into the water and turn away from him, heart still racing like crazy. Pretend I’m not interested and he’ll want me more. Even though this is the hardest thing I’ve ever done it’s definitely worth it. Even if only for that cock. I mean, I know it was under cold water but still, fuck me.
    Alex climbs aboard, much more gracefully than I managed, and I used the steps. He sits opposite from me, a strawberry placed between his lips, his eyes fixed on me intensely while water pools at his feet.
    “ What?” I say.
    “ Just thinking about how I can get you back.”
    “ Let’s just keep this professional shall we, we’re two days in and I’ve hardly got any material yet.”
    “ Professional?”
    “ Exactly.”
    Alex nods. “Like diving underwater to look at my cock?”
    I’m as red as a beetroot in seconds, like someone’s just pushed a button on the back of my neck.
    “ I can’t help it if it’s so big I can hardly see anything else.”
    He’s trying to hold that intense gaze without smiling, but is clearly struggling.
    “ I told you the water was cold.”
    “ Then you’d better not do anything to exert yourself.”
    “ One day.”
    “ One day, what?”
    “ I give you one day”, he says.
    “ Are you changing your wager?”
    “ I’m impressed you’ve managed to resist for so long. It must be hard for you.”
    “ Like you wouldn’t believe.”
    “ You’ll enjoy the relief then.”
    “ And you’ll enjoy retirement.”
    “ I will with you by my side.”
    “ Maybe I’ll even swim naked with you then.”
    “ We can only dream.”
    Several intense moments pass us by, while I refuse to admit to doing what is obvious already we both want. I could have kissed him in the water, and we could be fucking now and whatever, sliding doors, but it would have been what he wanted to happen, or expected to happen, and I’m not going to let him get it that way, nor for it to happen that way. It’ll happen how I want, when I want, and certainly not right now, here, on this boat no matter how hard he’s glaring at me.
    “ Storm’s coming.”
    “ You already said that.”
    Alex gets urgently to his feet.
    “ No, look, look out towards the horizon. It’s coming in faster than I thought.”
    There isn’t anything out on the horizon other than a hint of gray cloud that could just be where the sea merges with the sky.
    “ We might have to head back”, he says.
    “ You’re just upset I didn’t kiss you.”
    “ No, seriously, we don’t want to get caught in this. And I’m upset you didn’t kiss me.”
    That last comment makes me smile. It means that he’s mine whenever I want him, or, at least, he’s mine as long as he’s happy to wait for me to get myself ready.
    “ Maybe I need a bit longer to see if I want to”, I say.
    “ Or a bit longer to admit it.”
    Alex tries to start the engine, but nothing happens. I know nothing about boats and storms and whatever, but I get the impression that now his plan hasn’t worked, he’d much rather be back home than out here. Not much has changed, but he seems awfully eager to get away all of a sudden. Again he tries the engine, but it doesn’t respond.
    “ It’s not working”, he
