âThat kiss was like a freaking fairy tale,â Jennifer blurts out the second our lips part.
And I have to agree with her. Iâve kissed a lot of girls, but Iâve never experienced anything quite like this. Not this crazy, instant connection.
Iâve definitely experienced at first sightâbut at first kiss?
âIâll be honest,â she continues. âI was hoping to come out here for a quick roll in the sand âcause youâre hot and Iâm tipsy, but, fuck, what am I supposed to do with you now, Danny Diamond?â
I smirk. Lord help me, I can think of so many things Iâd like her to do to me. Except ⦠I canât.
âAs much as Iâm dying to know the answer to that, Iâm married,â I reply, holding up my left hand in response, the wedding ring on my finger feeling like itâs burning a mark into my skin. I donât know what I was thinking. I should not be on the beach with this girl. I shouldnât have even let it go this far.
But Jennifer Edwards is funny and blunt and adorable. Weâve been laughing our asses off since the moment we were introduced at the party.
I think about my daughterâspecifically, my wifeâs threats to take her away from me if I ever stray.
Jennifer must see the internal struggle in my eyes. She runs her hand down my arm and says coyly, âIf you canât promise forever, just promise tonight.â
I suck in a deep breath, trying to slow down the hormones raging in my body. âIâm sorry. I canât. I should probably get back to the party.â
âOh, fine,â she says, rolling her gorgeous eyes up toward the moon. âWeâll just talk. Hang out. I love talking to you. And I swear, I wonât even try to kiss you again.â She kicks water toward me and says with a laugh, âAt least, not tonight.â
