Priceless Treasure(28)

By:Melody Anne


“Seriously, who in the heck are you, Lexie?”

“I’m your favorite sister,” Alexa said before opening her car door and jumping out.

Savvy followed suit. “Yes, you are,” she said.

Lexie quit grilling her after that, and the two of them spent the rest of the day shopping, something Savvy detested. But they were also laughing, talking, and catching up on their lives.

By the end of the day, Savannah’s worries over Ashton were nearly gone. Too bad they hadn’t completely vanished, but she didn’t want to get too greedy now, did she?





Chapter Fourteen


Ashton sat on the deck of the boat and watched as Savvy walked away with her sister. His body was hurting, yet he was still smiling almost like a loon.

Never before had he woken up feeling so good. Hangover? What hangover? He’d never enjoyed his time with a woman so much, especially while not having sex. The conversation had been stimulating, intriguing. And it had left him wanting to keep it going.

The foreplay — well, that had been pretty freaking spectacular too.

And her words … Oh, how those words had been a turn-on. She’d actually thought she would dodge him. It was a challenge, and the Storm men were known to love a challenge. His Anderson cousins apparently felt the same way, so it had to be in their genes. And maybe their jeans, too. Right down there.

Only moments after Savvy disappeared, Ashton watched as one of his brothers came strolling down the dock, a stupid grin on his face. Were stupid grins also in the family DNA?

“Damn, Ash, you have some mighty fine employees working here,” Lance said as he jumped on board. “If I’d known that, I would have been coming around a lot more.”#p#分页标题#e#

“You can keep your eyes and hands off my employees,” Ashton said in his sternest voice.

“I can’t help but look when they not only pass by me but also speak so damn sexily. They had legs that never seem to quit, plus the sweetest little asses — they were using their tushes to the best advantage as they positively sashayed along,” he said with a sigh. “And why haven’t you offered me a beer yet?”

“It’s nine in the morning. You don’t need a beer, Lance,” Ashton told him.

“It’s Saturday. There’s no timeline on when you can pop the top. That dark-haired one had a great laugh.” He was going to continue, but Ashton went on red alert.

“What do you mean? Did you talk to Savvy?”

“Savvy? You mean Savs? I think that’s the name I was told. I’ll definitely be visiting the docks a lot more often knowing that a babe like that is working here.”

“Keep your hands off her, Lance.” Bad move. His brother was already in goading mode, and the guy would show him no mercy now.

“Ah. I see you’ve also noticed the laugh.” Lance moved to the on-deck fridge. He grabbed a nice cold one and sank into a deck chair as if he owned the world.

“No. She hasn’t done much laughing around me,” Ashton grumbled before his eyes lost their focus and he turned his lips up a bit. “But she can kiss. We’re talking extraordinarily well!”

Lance wasn’t above goading him again. “I thought you weren’t supposed to kiss and tell.”

“Some kisses are meant to be shared. No, not that way. Savannah is spoken for.”

“Aren’t you spoken for?” Lance asked casually. “I seem to remember some other woman …”

“Not for much longer,” Ashton said. Maybe his trophy fiancée wasn’t worth keeping after all.

“Message received,” Lance said, taking a swig. “Didn’t like Kalli anyway. But the sweet brown-haired sassy girl — Alexa was her name — I could find myself really liking her.”

“Savvy’s sister?” Ash said. Yeah, she was cute and all, but she didn’t even come close to comparing to Savvy — at least not in Ashton’s mind.

“Yeah. I’m definitely going to have to see what she’s hiding beneath all that sass,” he said.

“Go for it,” Ashton told him. What color eyes did Savvy’s sister have? He couldn’t remember. He and his thoughts had been otherwise occupied.

Before Ashton said anymore on the subject, his brother was already moving on. “Why don’t we now take it down a notch and get the sailboat ready to roll? I’m in need of some fishing.”

“I thought Lucas was joining us,” Ashton told him, and he stood up.

“He’ll be here by the time we get everything ready. Since I have a feeling we won’t be catching a heck of a lot of fish, we’d better bring a picnic basket. I’m already hungry.”
