16. Austin

CHAPTER 16

AUSTIN

Fishing Greer's swim briefs out of the pool wasn't how I expected to start the day, but it was definitely enlightening. Seeing him handling himself was not what I expected to find when I looked down at the pool. But it was funny as hell.

Greer Rowan had once again turned my life upside down. Much to my cock's disappointment, I'd showered alone and had to relieve some tension with my hand. But there was no way I could meet his family in that state, so I did what I had to do. I jerked off with a handful of his shower gel and came all over the wall. Mission accomplished.

I was inspecting the briefs when Greer came down the stairs to the pool deck. When he stopped beside me, the wind lifted the sensual notes of his cologne into the air, making me plump up again.

"I'll take those," he said, leaning across me. But he wasn't getting off that easily. I wouldn't be me if I didn't tease him a bit.

"Not so fast," I replied, holding them up out of his reach. "This little thing holds the answers to something I need to know about."

He stepped back and folded his arms across his chest. His eyes sparkled in the light as the sun hit his silver hair. And that smile had me returning it. "No, they don't. They're just swim briefs. Nothing special about them."

I grinned. "Oh, but they do. This dick strangler knows why I had to jump in the water and rescue you from them."

His laughter lit up his face and widened his smile. Just looking at him, relaxed and happy, had me returning the grin.

"Dick strangler? It wasn't my dick that was the problem."

"Really? Because when I looked down here and you were manhandling yourself, I wasn't sure what to think."

He nodded and curled his lips in. "I was having a personal moment."

I grinned and started mimicking what I saw. "It looked more like you were driving a car and changing gears with that thing. And I have to say, from what I saw of your gearshift, it was impressive."

A beautiful red flush rose from his neck as he tried not to look so enamored with me. When he still refused to fess up, I twirled them around my index finger like a hoola-hoop and flung them back into the middle of the pool.

His eyes went wide as he watched them sail through the air, only to land with a wet slap against the surface of the water.

"Oops," I said. Now I had his attention.

"Austin, what the fuck?"

"Look at that," I mused, pointing at them floating on top of the water. "You wouldn't have drowned. They're a flotation device."

Greer sighed. "I really want to push you into the pool, just to shut you up."

I wrapped him in my arms, there on the pool deck in the mid-morning sun. Widening my stance to make that impossible, he wrapped his arms around me.

"You wouldn't be the first to threaten that, but I know a better way for you to shut me up."

I leaned in and met him with a kiss. My right hand threaded through his silky hair to hold him against me.

Greer moaned into my mouth as our tongues met once again. The cinnamon taste of his toothpaste had me groaning.

When he ended the kiss, I glanced over at the offending briefs floating on top of the water.

"Guess we'll have to retrieve them later. Or add another pair to them."

"I suppose we could skinny dip after everyone goes to bed," he sighed, as I trailed kisses down the side of his neck as he grabbed my ass for the first time.

I chuckled as the more he got turned on, the more he squeezed my ass like he was juicing an orange.

"I'm gonna hold you to that," I murmured in his ear as I sucked on the lobe. "I'm going to take that gorgeous cock of yours into my mouth and do dirty things to you."

Greer shivered in my arms and ground his hips into mine. My cock rubbed against his. "Promise?"

I leaned back and looked into his eyes. The apprehension was there, and it would have been easy to bring up the past, even though we hadn't had time to settle any of that. In the end, I loved him. No matter what. "I'm going to show you pleasure like you've never known."

Greer swallowed and nodded. "I don't know how to love you like that. But I want to."

Before I could say anything further, the doorbell rang, stopping our heart-to-heart.

Greer pushed out of my arms but took my hand. "That will be the grocery delivery service," he said, pulling me along. "I ordered a massive amount of food. You can help put it away."

I scoffed, playfully, changing the mood back to playful. "I am not a servant. I am a sexy pool boy, here to take care of all your needs."

Greer turned and looked at me over his shoulder as we walked to the door. "Who are you, and what did you do with your grumpy asshole alter ego?"

"He's in here, baby. Don't you worry; I'll be showing you my asshole side later." I winked at him as he opened the door, making him laugh.

"Good morning, Rodrigo!" Greer greeted the handsome man as he extended his hand to shake.

"Good morning, Se?or Greer. It's good to have you back. We have your order."

I glanced at the delivery truck as Greer gave the man a breathtaking smile. A bolt of pure, possessive jealousy filled my brain. Time to stake my claim.

I rose to my full height and wrapped my arm around his shoulders before I extended my hand. "Hello. I'm Austin Wentworth."

Rodrigo smiled as he shook my hand. "It's nice to meet you. If I may say so, it's nice to see Mr. Greer with a companion."

Greer smirked up at me, so I pulled him closer, making my point. "I'm actually his fiancé."

The man's eyes widened before a grin split his face. "Congratulations! Another wedding to celebrate."

Greer held up his hand. "Thank you, but we're not getting married anytime soon," he chuckled. "Just my niece."

Rodrigo waved his hand. "What better place to bind yourself to the one you love?"

It was clear Greer was rattled, but there was nothing I loved more than keeping him guessing what I was going to do or say next.

"We should get out of the way so they can unload," Greer suggested, pulling me by the hand.

When we were out of earshot, I pulled him in for a loud, obnoxious kiss. My boyfriend looked down at his Rolex, then back into my eyes, smiling as he shook his head at me.

He leaned against the refrigerator and tapped his index finger against my lips. "If I didn't know better, I would say you are jealous."

I pointed at my chest.

"Me? Jealous?" I scoffed. "Wasn't that the plan?" I tilted my head to speak in his ear. He really seemed to like it when I did that. "If you want to keep the cougars off your tail, your sexy ass needs to be off the market."

"That's just it, Austin. I was never on the market."

I smiled. "Yeah, well, it's time we make sure your sister knows that."

Greer laughed, and it reached his eyes. He was relaxed and nothing I said seemed to bother him. "Is that so?"

"Yes. And don't be alarmed if I tell some wild stories about us." I kissed him on the cheek and went to unload the boxes.

His laugh was the best thing I'd ever heard. "I can't wait."
