After forty minutes in the water, it was looking like we needed a break. Liam had been jumping in while I caught him until he got too cold and his little body was shaking violently. His bottom lip had turned blue, and his teeth were chattering.
I asked Lee to get a towel to warm him again. Seconds later he was back with a towel and wrapped it around him. "Gonna take him to sit under the umbrella for a bit. Valerie wants to swim with you."
"Don't let him out of your sight," I warned.
Lee turned and gave me a dark look, then looked at Liam. "More than my life's worth, boss," he said and headed back toward where Valerie was sitting with Liam. Less than a minute later I saw my sexy girl walking slowly toward me completely unaware that the three guys she'd passed had all turned their heads and were watching her ass. Her eyes were trained on me; she smiled when she neared the poolside where I was leaning on the edge with my chin on my arms.
