The Beach Brat

“That’ll make them itch even more.”


Brody grumbled, and stared out the window. “Whose idea was this anyway?”


Finn slotted the keys into the ignition but didn’t start the car. “Did you?”


He turned to Brody slowly, and Brody’s cockiness faded from his expression. He swallowed loudly, then nodded.


Finn smiled, and started the car. “Good.”


“When you couldn’t keep your hands and mouth off me in the last hide.”


“Admit you enjoyed it too.” Brody said.


“Course I did, my favorite part was the hissing sounds you made.”


Brody frowned. “Hissing sounds? When you were kissing me?”


“No, you hissed when you got stung. The sound was a turn on.”


Brody flicked Finn’s thigh. “Not funny.”


Finn tapped the steering wheel. “I thought I could cook you something, a late lunch.”
