Kiss This
they
both started walking.
    “So, Camryn ,” he said, emphasizing
her name that time. “You weren’t even watching where you were going
when you almost biffed it in the sand. What was in the water?”
    “Oh, you would have to ask that exact
question, huh?” she said with a laugh. “Really?”
    He tossed her a quizzical look. “What’s
wrong with the question? You were booking it down the beach, not
even watching where you were going. If you ran like that any
further, you’d have run dead smack into that log,” he pointed.
“What was in the water?”
    She shook her head with a smile, but not
because she wasn’t going to tell him. It was because she was going to tell him. “I was picturing you naked,” she stated.
    He stopped dead in his tracks and she had to
turn around to face him. His mouth was open in an “oh,” but then he
smiled like he was sure she was just pulling his leg.
    “I’m being serious,” she added. “I was
picturing you naked.”
    He pretended to cough his disbelief. “No
way. Like I was just…standing there naked in the ocean?”
    She had to laugh. “Yeah, pretty much.”
    He laughed out loud as he clutched his
stomach. “Oh my God, you totally rock my world.”
    “Because I’ve pictured you naked?”
    “Uh, pictured me naked, admitted it, and are
totally embarrassed by it. I love it.”
    “I’m not embarrassed. Can’t exactly control
my thoughts sometimes.”
    “Well holy fuck, and us guys get a bad rep
because of the same thing?”
    “Well I’d say it’s because guys are a little
more vulgar when it comes to stuff like that. All I did was wonder
if you have a six-pack and that’s it. You, on the other hand, have
probably pictured me naked, pictured what you would do with me
naked, and pictured what I could do for you naked.
After all of that, you most likely felt a little bit turned on by
it and—”
    “Oh my God!” he yelled with a laugh, waving
for her to stop. He doubled over with his hands propped on his
knees, laughing his ass off. “Please tell me you’re for real. I’m
not sure I can handle this if you’re not.”
    She nudged him upward like he’d done to her
earlier. They were toe to toe, and with her looking up and him
looking down, their faces were only inches apart. “Yes, I’m for
real. But you’re only witnessing my very best angle. The rest is
nothing to be impressed by.” She left him standing there and
started walking again.
    He only paused for a moment before he caught
up to her. “I have a Christmas present for you.”
    She eyed him suspiciously. “A present? You
don’t even know me, Teague.”
    “Exactly. This is gonna help.”
    She chuckled uncomfortably. “Um, okay.”
    Teague grinned and said, “Well maybe you
aren’t ready for it yet.”
    “Probably not,” she countered wryly.
    “I figured you’d say that. But what if I
told you I worked really, really hard on it for you?”
    Camryn cast him a side-glance. “Is it
something you made ?” She smiled and added, “Wait, is it bar
of soap carved into a heart?”
    His smile slowly grew. “Hey, not a bad idea.
Next time, though. This is something very, very valuable.”
    “Valuable, huh. I’m not sure I want it,
then.”
    “Not pricewise.”
    She glanced at him again before finally
stopping in the sand. He stopped too and faced her, pulling a piece
of paper out of the pocket of his shorts to hand to her.
    Her eyes suspiciously remained fixed on his
before she finally took the paper and glanced down at it. Then she
tried not to laugh too hard.
    “Very few people have that, you know,” he
told her, trying to keep a straight face. “I’m trusting you’ll keep
it safe but use it yourself as often as you can. And I have shitty
handwriting, so you can see how much effort I put into that to make
it legible.”
    “Your phone number ?” she finally got
out. “God, Teague, you’re really good, you know? This is… Wow, I
don’t know how to compete with you.”
    He looked pretty
