The Vincent Boys 02 - The Vincent Brothers

with a wicked grin in his eyes.
    “What? Why?” I stuttered confused.
    He let go of the rope with one hand and motioned me to come closer, “Come on, Lana. Wrap those long legs around my waist. I won’t let you get hurt. Trust me.”
    A squeal and clapping distracted me and I turned to look back at the boat. Kayla was extremely pleased.
    “Do it Lana! I’ve seen Sawyer do this with Ash many times.” Kayla called out.
    I turned back to Sawyer, “But Ash can do tricks. I can’t.”
    “All you have to do is hold on tight to me. Wrap your legs and arms around me and I got the rest of this.”
    Excitement and fear battled each other as I gave in and slipped my legs around his waist and wrapped my arms around his neck.
    “Hmmm... that’s nice,” Sawyer whispered into the curve of my neck. My heart began racing for a completely different reason when the boat fired up. I tightened my hold on him and buried my face in his shoulder. A warm sexy chuckle vibrated within his chest.
    We were up and going before I could think about anything else. My legs clamped down on his waist so tightly the hard arousal I’d felt earlier was now firmly pressed against me.
    “Ah, hell,” he whispered in my ear and I shifted wondering if I weighed too much or was holding on too tight.
    “Please Lana, don’t move. I can’t concentrate when you do that.”
    I sucked in a breath and pulled back to peer up at him.
    The smoldering gleam in his eyes sent my body into a warm frenzy.
    “Am I hurting you?” I managed to croak out.
    Sawyer shook his head and pressed a kiss to my forehead, “Not the way you think. Hang on, I’m going to give you a little bit of a ride.”
    I pressed back up against him and forced myself to keep my eyes open as he swung out to the left. The moment we went air-born I gasped in delight. It was so freeing. Then we were back on the water with such ease it wasn’t frightening at all.
    “You like that?” he asked with his mouth close to my ear so he didn’t have to yell.
    “That was fun,” I assured him.
    “Good, cause we’re going higher this time,” he replied and we were flying out to the right and in the air so quickly my stomach fluttered wildly.
    “Oh wow,” I breathed as he landed the board.
    “It’s awesome, isn’t it?”
    Then we were slowing down and sinking into the water.
    “Thank you for trusting me,” he said, as we settled down in the water to wait on the boat to come back and get us.
    “Thank you for the ride.”

Chapter Nine

    Sawyer

    As soon as Lana closed the door to Ashton’s house, I pulled my phone out of my pocket and dialed Beau.
    “Yeah,” he answered on the third ring.
    “I need a ticket to that concert tonight. I’m coming with you.”
    Beau didn’t respond right away then he let out a sigh, “Little Miss Lana is gettin’ to ya, huh?”
    The memory of how she felt wrapped around my waist flooded me and I swallowed hard, “Yeah, she is.”
    “Ash hooked her up with E tonight. You know this, right?”
    My blood boiled. Yes, I knew it but I was going to stop it. Ethan only wanted Lana for the summer. He was headed to UT in the fall and Lana was headed... well I didn’t know where Lana was headed but she was going off to college too. Yes, I wanted to make Ash jealous but the idea of spending time with Lana was growing more and more appealing for no other reason than she made me forget. When I was with her, I wasn’t thinking about Ashton.
    “She was with me today. You owe me Beau. A helluva lot. I need to be there tonight.”
    “Ash is gonna be pissed. She doesn’t trust your motives and I’m not real sure I do either.”
    “You’ve seen Lana. What’s there not to like? Why would I want her for any other reason than she’s hot-as-hell and available this summer? I need the distraction. I think it’ll be good for all of us.”
    Beau was silent for a moment, “The concert is sold out but Ash got Leann two tickets and she’s driving over from the beach to go with us. Her date just bailed on her and she’s looking for someone to take with her. She might not want to give you the ticket as her date but I’m pretty sure she’d sell it to you.”
    “I still got her number. I’ll call her. Thanks,” I didn’t wait for him to reply before I hung up and scrolled through my contacts for Leann’s name.

    Ashton had initially had us all driving separate vehicles since Beau and I drove trucks and Ethan drove a Jeep. I didn’t like that plan
