“I hear Bora Bora is nice this time of year.” She grins.

I chuckle. “Noted.”

“And if we’re being technical, I actually didn’t get to have a bachelorette party or a bridal shower, so if you could arrange for Lucy and me to go on a vacation too, to make up for it, that would be great.”

“Are you single-handedly trying to bankrupt me?”

“That was my plan all along, Sullivan.”

I bark a laugh. “I think you would be worth it.”

Riley’s breath catches, and I take the opportunity to slide a little closer to her.

Her cheeks are flushed pink, and her green eyes are sparkling with mischief.

“What else am I worth?”

“Hmm…that depends.” I purposefully let my eyes linger on her lips before trailing lower, taking a moment to admire the swell of her breasts that are barely covered by the water.

“On what?” she asks a little breathlessly.

“On how obedient a wife you are.”

Riley’s throat bobs, and I have to fight a smile.

She can try as hard as she wants to pretend she doesn’t want me, but her body gives her away every time.

I shouldn’t move closer to the point where if she took a deep breath, her breasts would brush against my chest. But I do. I want to see just how far I can push the boundary.

Come on, Riley. Tell me you need me.

Her lips part, and I brace myself for the rejection, for the wall to go up around her once more, but nothing happens.

Instead, the next words out of her mouth have me completely coming undone.

“Why don’t I show you how obedient I can be?”

Chapter Seventeen

KIERAN

I’m completely frozen as Riley slowly leans in as if she’s about to kiss me. But at the very last second, she snatches my glass out of my hand and begins to swim back toward the edge of the pool.

What the hell?

I’m about to protest when she glances over her shoulder and grins at me.

“You’re going to need both hands.” She sets our empty glasses down on the side of the pool.

“Jesus Christ,” I hiss as my cock thickens. “You better come back here right now.”

“Or what?”

“Believe me, princess. You don’t want to find out.”

“I thought I told you not to call me that.”

“Would you rather I called you cock tease?”
