in park and I was the first to climb out. I didn’t wait for anyone else. Instead, I made my way to the edge of the dock. I needed to clear my head and thoughts of everything Dax, before I came face to face with him. I leaned forward against the railing and just stared out over the water. The entire lake was deserted and completely serene. You couldn’t hear a single bird, insect or person for miles. This was the place I felt the safest. I leaned my head back a little bit, and slowly closed my eyes as I took in the calming feeling of being here. I could hear footsteps far off on the dock, but paid no mind to them as I took in a deep cleansing breath.
    “It’s beautiful out here at night. I see why you guys come here.”
    His voice broke through my fleeting thoughts, making me almost open my eyes with a bit of irritation. “It is, and it never disappoints, unlike people.” Dax had leaned next to me, mirroring the way I was standing there looking out over the water.
    “You don’t like me much, do you?” He asked playfully.
    “Just the opposite, but you frighten me.” I smiled as I leaned into him, and then stood straight up.
    “You know, you have a way of intimidating me that I’m not used to.”
    “I can see that.” I replied.
    “I have to say, I’m a little jealous of how you act towards Wilton. If I didn’t know any better, I would think it was him you were into.”
    “If you didn’t know any better, huh?”
    “Well at least that’s what your best friend tells me.”
    “Oh is that so? Let’s just say that Wilton, isn’t really my type.” I looked straight into his deep blue eyes as I said the last part, hoping he would realize that my type, was staring me right in the face.
    “Interesting.” He started to walk away and I looked at him with a confused look. “I’m just grabbing a beer, you want one?”
    I nodded my head in his direction, and then turned my attention back to the water. Once again, my thoughts went to hoping and praying that before we left tonight, he would make a move to kiss me.
     

Chapter Eleven
    Dax
    I didn’t want to leave her to go get a beer, but if I stayed any longer, I would’ve tried to kiss her and then that would’ve led to more. I could barely keep myself in control around her, and I didn’t want to lay all my cards out on the table so soon. I couldn’t stop staring at her, as I made my way back out on the dock where she stood. Something about her in this place, well let’s just say, it was a completely different side of her. A slight breeze passed and caught her hair, blowing it across her lower back. Of course, this had my eyes lowering their gaze to other parts of her body. I stopped mid stride and quickly adjusted my pants, before I walked up to her.
    “Here you go.”
    “Thanks.”
    She turned and I handed her the beer I had just gotten her. I watched her as she meticulously took a pull from the cold bottle. As her lips sealed around the lip of the bottle, I could feel my pants getting tighter than they already were. I let out a low growl, but luckily she didn’t hear me, or at least pretended not to if she did. I reluctantly made my way over to her, grabbing her bottle from her hand. When she gave me a weird look, I set my bottle down right next to hers. As much as I wanted to put off the inevitable, it was time to seal the deal and make sure this girl know, just how much I wanted her.
    I let one hand slide down her side, coming to rest on her hip as I pushed my other hand back through her hair, gently clutching the back of her neck. I looked into her wondering eyes for a brief second, before I pulled her lips into mine. My hand slid around to rest on the top of her backside, as my lips began to move against hers. I knew I didn’t want it to be a long drawn out kiss. Hell, I wanted to leave her yearning for more, so I quickly pulled back and then pressed my lips against hers one more time, before pulling back fully.
    “Sorry.” I whispered.
