She wrapped her arms around his neck, pressing her breasts to his hard chest.
“What do you want?” he asked.
“I’m right where I want to be.”
Lacey wouldn’t let any of the memories or guilt invade their moment. When she was with Whizz, he made her want to be a better person.
“I love you,” she said, whispering the words against his lips. “You’re the first man I’ve ever said that to.”
“Funny, you’re the first woman I’ve said that to.”
“We broke each other’s love cherry.” She nipped at his lip, not wanting this moment to end.
“It’s a good job I left the phone back on the beach.”
His change in conversation made her laugh. She flung her head back, chuckling.
“You’re completely insane, Whizz.
He took possession of her lips once again making her moan.
“Eww, they’re kissing, Daddy.”
A young girl with her father passed them by. They were paddling on a surf board together.
“Honey, leave them.”
“Sorry,” Lacey said, burying her head against Whizz’s neck.
“It’s all right. Sorry about my daughter.”
They passed, and when they were far enough away Lacey groaned. “I can’t believe that just happened,” she said.
“It happened.” He kept kissing her.
Together they stayed in the water for a good twenty or thirty minutes. Lacey didn’t care how long they were in the water. She loved every second of her time with Whizz. He knew how to have fun. They walked out of the ocean, completely soaked through. She collapsed onto the blanket, groaning as Whizz’s cell phone went off.
She handed it to him, staring up as he looked at the screen.
“What is it?” she asked.
“Nothing. It’s just the club. They can’t seem to handle me being away.”
Lacey smiled. “You’re the whizz of the club. Tiny probably wants you to find something to dig on Ned.”
He collapsed beside her, pulling her in close. “The club can wait.”
Whizz held the phone up for her to see. He switched it off, disconnecting them from Fort Wills. They were finally alone.
The time at the beach went by so fast. Lacey loved every second. After they took a little breather on the sand, they went back into the ocean for a swim. At some point Whizz was pulled into a game of ball where they hit a ball over the net. She sat and watched him, cheering him on when he beat the other team.
When he joined her back at their pitch, he groaned. “I’m starving.”
“Thank God. I thought it was only me,” she said, laughing. “I’m starving, Whizz.”
“Come on. Let’s go and get something to eat.”
They packed up their blankets, carrying them under their arms.
“Did you have fun today?” he asked.
She linked her arm with his. “You’ve got no idea how much fun I had. I didn’t want it to end.”
“It’s not going to end. We’re not driving back tonight.”
They found a burger place and entered the shop. Lacey took the booth in the back corner. She picked up the menu as Whizz took a seat.
Her clothing was dry. She’d spent most of the afternoon lying on the sand, waiting for her clothes to dry.
“Are you sure you don’t want to get back in touch with home?” Lacey asked.
He shook his head. “No. Everything going on in Fort Wills can stay there for forty-eight hours. I’ve not done something like this in years. It’s time for us to live a little, Lacey.”
She smiled, glancing over the food. “You’re going to think I’m a right pig.”
“No, I’ll order double of whatever you order. I can’t have my woman feeling like a pig.”

Alex cursed, closing his phone. Whizz had turned his phone off on purpose. He glanced across the room at Cheryl, the mother of his child.
“Where’s Michael?” he asked.
“He’s with Eva back at the club.”
Sunshine would be back soon. He’d been hoping for a peaceful Sunday to get his thoughts together.
“You want me to talk to Tiny about giving Butch a second chance.”
“Yes.” She was fiddling with her hands. He hated women who fiddled with their hands. Alex had been a complete ass to Cheryl. The attraction he’d once felt for her had long gone. She’d been a nice distraction. The only good thing to come from the weekend they spent together was Michael. His son brought a whole load of complications of his own.
“No. I’m not going to do it. You’ve got to be insane to think that.”
“Butch did everything you asked him to.”
“I didn’t once tell him to go to the Savage Brothers and betray our club. The Skulls was his club, not them.”
“I get that, and he paid that fucking price, Alex. I understand your anger, I really do. I was angry when he told me about it, but he also gave you their location when he didn’t need to. Butch gave you that location knowing that you could have still killed him once he had. He didn’t put the women in any danger. That was all on me. He made sure you killed them all but one. Butch held his end of the bargain. Do not bring this back to him. You were the one to put him at risk in the first place.”
