You’re Mine by Penny Brooks novel Chapter 104

Chapter 104

Harper

Fun is exactly what we need, Easton was right, and I realize that the second I'm on the back of his jet ski, going at least a million miles per hour toward the upcoming wave.

I wrap my arms around his waist, burying my face in his neck, squeezing my eyes together as we slam into the wave, sending us shooting into the air.

“Abhh! '

I scream, holding onto him for dear life.

“Fuck, yeah! 'he shouts.

I don’t know how high we get, but I lose my stomach on the descent, the jet ski slapping the water as we land.

I can't stop screaming, I can't stop laughing.

And I only get a second to recover before he's driving toward another wave.

“Hold on, 'he warns, "this is going to be a big one. '

I don’t know how it can be taller than the last one, but it is and we hit air again, my lungs emptying on the way up.

“Watch out, it's going to be a hell of a splash, 'he says.

My mouth fills with freezing water, my body feels like it's on a roller—coaster, I can't see anything, I'm as cold as ice, and I'm positive I'm not breathing.

But I don't want him to stop.

I don't even want him to slow down.

I want to be on this ride forever.

As I glance behind me, Sadie is weaving her and Ryan around the water, following us into the crests, and I can hear them laughing from behind me.

"Are you all right? '

Easton asks as I look forward again.

I squeeze him, smiling even though he can't see me.

"More than all right. '

“Just making sure I haven't scared you to death. '

"Impossible. '

"Oh, yeah? Is that a dare? '

I know I shouldn't say this, but I can't help myself.

"I'm surprised this is all you've got ...

I thought you could do better. '

“Oh, fuck, 'he laughs.

"Your ass better hold on. 'He shows me his grinning lips.

“An ass I'm not going to be gentle with.At all. '

Tingles spread through me as he gives me a kiss, and then we're suddenly charging through the water, heading straight for a ridiculously large wave.

One that promises to take us out.

But navigates it perfectly, blasting us upward and tilting the nose of the jet ski forward so we don't capsize.

Water splashes around us as we land, more of it entering my mouth, stinging my eyes, burning my lungs.

I still can't stop giggling.

I can't stop urging him to do, "More! Higher! '

He rubs his hand over my bare thigh.

"Man, you're fucking perfect for me. '

I hold those words in my heart and clench him with all my strength as we follow another path of waves, zig zagging across, Easton revving the gas sO we're speeding over the top of the water.

I don't know how long we chase the waves, but at the first crack of thunder, followed by a massive bolt of lightning, we know it's time to head back.

Easton ties the jet skis to his dock, and we all hurry up the lawn toward the house, grabbing towels on our way in.

"Shower? 'I say to Easton.

He smiles.

“Let me grab a drink and I'll meet you in there. '

I know exactly what's going to happen once he joins me, and he reconfirms that when he slaps my ass.

"I'm freezing, 'Sadie says, shivering, as she walks with me through the living room.

“Go warm up—shower, whatever—then we'll make some lunch and head out.Sound good? '

"Perfect, 'she replies.

When I get to our room, I quickly check my phone, seeing if I missed any notifications, like Aisha posting something on Instagram about her time here.

The first thing I see is several missed calls from my mom.

She knows I'm here, I’m not sure what she could be calling about.

I call her back, holding the phone to my ear.

“Thank God, you're all right, '
