I was thinking about her as I walked down the dock at the Marina, headed to my brother's yacht for a party I didn't feel like attending. Rachael had been on my mind since the minute I returned from Mexico, and a torturous birthday party for my sister in law was not my idea of a good time.
My idea of a good time was a tall, sexy brunette banker that knew how to work me, how to manipulate me to get what she wanted like no one else had ever been able to do.
And three weeks was too long to go without a fix, too long in between stolen moments and it only made the need for her more intense when I was near her.
I stopped to answer my cell smiling at the sight of her name, through the wind and waves bumping against the boat hulls the tone in her voice said one thing.
" Don't turn around, when I walk past you wait a few minutes and follow me. " that sultry tone of hers, it sent shivers up my spine.
I continued to hold the phone against my ear as she walked out of the darkness, away from the noisy birthday party, the cranberry sundress she wore flowed softly in the warm evening breeze, clinging to her gorgeous body as she casually strolled past me without even a second glance.
I turned slowly, watching as she walked only a few slips away and climbed aboard a forty foot sailboat and disappear down into the main cabin.
I followed just like she had commanded, my body reacting to just those few simple words, and my brain not registering any consequence when it came to her.
It didn't matter that half of my family and her fiancΓ© the district attorney were just a few hundred yards from us partying the night away.
All that mattered was the moment.
It was dark as I stepped down into the cabin, the only light coming in from the lamps that lined the dock, soft rays illuminated the roof of the cabin bathing it with shimmers of light that reflected off the water.
Stopping she pulled me into a languid kiss as she walked me backwards until my knees touched the edge of the bench seat that ran the length of the cabin wall.
Breaking the kiss, she pushed me down onto it and straddled my thighs.
" Who's boat is this?" I asked, as I slid my hands up her toned thighs to her hips and pulled her closer to me.
