Free Falling for the Wingman (The Kelly Brothers, Book 3) by Crista McHugh Page B

“Alex, if we’re not careful…”
    She pressed her finger to his lips. “Shh!” she hissed before kissing him again.
    The knot tying the bottom of her shirt came loose, and the fabric billowed around her chest, giving him the perfect opportunity to explore the silky flesh underneath. As he worked his way up along her ribs, he became painfully aware of her lack of a bra. He cupped one of her small breasts, and the ache in his cock intensified. But that was nothing compared to what the moan that rose from her throat when he rolled her nipple between his fingers did to him. That almost sent him over the edge.
    Alex clawed at his T-shirt, bunching it around his shoulders until he was forced to end the kiss long enough for her to yank it over his head. Then she was on him again, her lips hungrily devouring his and leaving no doubt in his mind that this wasn’t an act. She wanted him as much as he wanted her, and if they continued, a simple wade in the lake would turn into some X-rated skinny dipping.
    She tilted her head back, exposing the lovely lines of her neck for him. As he tasted her sweet skin with a series of alternating nips and licks, he began fumbling with the tiny buttons of her shirt, determined to get her naked as quickly as possible.
    He was working on the third one when a voice called out from the shore, “Hey, there’s a law in this town against public indecency.”
    Alex jerked against him and snatched her shirt closed. A slew of whispered four-letter words spilled from her mouth before she shouted back, “We still have our clothes on, J.T.”
    “At the rate you two were going, I doubt they would’ve stayed on for long,” he answered.
    “Crap,” Alex muttered and buried her head against Caleb’s shoulder. “I’m not sure if I should thank him for interrupting us or slap him into next week.”
    “Me, too.” Alex was still in his arms, her legs wrapped around him, but her movements had stilled to the point where he could finally get control of himself. A few more seconds ticked by before he felt like it was safe enough to emerge from the water without a tent pole in his pants. “Should we get out and join the others?”
    She unwound her legs, but didn’t move away from him. “Are you okay?”
    “Yeah, I think I am.” He placed a quick peck on her forehead and carried her back to the beach, where the other couple waited for them.
    Mindy looked like she’d just eaten a lemon as her fingers hastily typed a message on her cell phone, but J.T. gave them a wink. “When Lisa said you two had gone for a walk along the water, I didn’t think I would stumble across you two going at it. If you two need a little more time alone— ow! ”
    J.T. rubbed his ribs after Mindy silenced him with a jab of her elbow. She glared at Alex. “Some people just have no sense of decency.”
    For her part, Alex didn’t seem to be bothered by the other woman’s hostility. She fastened up the two buttons he’d managed to undo and climbed out of the water. “Like I said, our clothes were still on.”
    Mindy narrowed her eyes. “I should’ve told J.T. to shut up until he could arrest you.”
    “Sorry, honey, but this is private property, and I’m off duty.” J.T. kissed her cheek and offered his hand to Caleb. “Glad to finally meet you, Caleb. I’m J.T., and this is my girlfriend, Mindy.”
    “Nice to meet you.” He glanced over J.T.’s shoulder at the way Mindy stared down her nose at him. “And I’ve met Mindy before.”
    “Oh, yeah, I forgot you used to date Kourtney.” J.T. flung his arm over Caleb’s shoulder and dropped his voice to whisper as he led him back to the house. “And if you’re just using Alex to get back at her sister, I swear to God I’m going to castrate you.” He slapped him on the chest. “Just so we’re clear on that.”
    He doubled back to his girlfriend, who was already whining about the heat and humidity.
    Caleb stood where J.T. left him, wondering if he’d heard
