Free Lights to My Siren by Lani Lynn Vale Page B

exactly what I had before they even got to the actual tests. They prescribed me a medicine, and they saw a different kid. They decided to try out the swimming lessons again with me on the medication, however, that particular medicine mellowed me out so much that it made me overwhelmingly scared to try anything, and I guess that just kind of stuck.”
    He waited to see if I’d say anything else, and when I didn’t, he spoke. “Are you on those meds now?”
    “No, they changed a few times in my growing years. Now I’m on what they consider adult ADHD medication.” I told him.
    I felt like I was holding my breath, waiting for him to just haul me to shore and drop me like the proverbial hot potato. But he didn’t. He surprised me.
    “You wanna try to swim now?” He asked, surprising the ever-loving shit out of me.
    I clung tighter.
    He chuckled. “Alright, we won’t do that today. We’ll just get used to the water. So why the big secret? ADHD isn’t that much of a surprise, now that I think about it. It doesn’t make you any different than half of the United States.”
    My snort escaped before I could contain it.
    “What?” He asked, momentarily tightening the arm that was still clamped tightly across my back.
    I lifted her head from his shoulder, and looked into his eyes. They reminded me of beer. A light beer, with the golden brown color. “That’s a bunch of bull. It’s affected my whole life.”
    “You’ve let it affect your whole life. You’ve got it in your mind that you can’t change it, and you’ve sat in the same rut. You’re a very smart woman, I’ve learned that in the time I’ve been allowed to spend with you over the past couple of weeks.”
    My temper flared. “My last boyfriend left me because I kept zoning out during sex. He said that I didn’t pay enough attention. That it was causing him to be sexually unsatisfied. That was his answer anyway, when I caught him wining and dining some blonde.”
    Sebastian’s arm went from around my back to cup my ass, tilting it so my core grinded against his hard abs. “Honey, if he lost your attention during sex, he wasn’t doing it right.”
    His arrogance astounded me. That and the hot pulsing need that was now coursing through my veins, and settling in my overheated core. Good thing we were in the water, otherwise he’d be able to tell I was soaking wet by his high handedness.
    “I zoned out during conversations with him. We’d watch a show, and I couldn’t sit still for more than an hour, and then couldn’t tell you what it was about. I wrecked his car. I’m sure I did more to deserve the break up.” I practically snarled.
    His eyes turned from amused to serious. “You did nothing to deserve him cheating on you. What he should’ve done was tell you he was no longer interested in you, instead of finding a new woman to fuck behind your back. And who the hell doesn’t get tired of sitting for more than an hour? Why do you think they make concession stands and shit at the movies?”
    Our conversation was interrupted when Sebastian’s father yelled that the food was ready. Everyone that had been milling in the water around us went in, but Sebastian stayed. His hands didn’t stray from their perch on my ass, either.
    “I work a lot. But I would love to have dinner with you sometime. We can go to the boats and gamble if that doesn’t bore you. Whatever you’d like to do.” He asked hopefully.
    I smiled at his attempt to find a solution to my boredom. “I can’t say that I won’t get bored doing that, too. Just don’t get mad at me if my mind wanders easily.”
    “I’ll promise not to get mad. Now, let’s go eat before I decide to do something you’re clearly not ready for.” He instructed before he started moving us out of the water.
    Our bodies stayed together, even when he’d made it completely out of the water and we were standing on the shore. His hands stayed glued to my ass. My vagina continued to be so super-heated
