High Stakes Seduction

“It is?”
“You’re the one who’s supposed to keep me grounded, remember.”
“Yes, ma’am.” He chuckled and guided the golf cart toward the first hole. “You know, I was thinking it might be a good time for you to meet my parents.”
Eva blinked. “Really?”
“They’re right over there.” He pointed to an older couple waiting for them at the tee.
“Oh my, oh gosh. I can’t believe you sprung this on me.” Eva sucked in her breath.
“When I called them and told them I’d found the woman I wanted to spend my life with, they insisted on meeting you. They know when I say something I mean it.”
“Adam,” she whispered. “Is this a proposal?”
“Not yet. I’m going to do that up right, but we’re getting there.”
Eva’s heart fluttered. She was so nervous. What were his parents going to think of her? His father was a senator for heavens sake.
But she worried for no reason. The minute they stepped from the golf cart, Adam’s mother enveloped her in a big hug and his father shook her hand. They were so warm and welcoming, she instantly felt at home.
And when the round of golf was over and they were all headed to the country club café for lunch, Adam slung his arm around her, smiling at his folks. “What did I tell you, Mom and Dad. I know a good thing when I see her.”
And as his parents walked ahead of them out of earshot, he leaned down to whisper, “Doing naked yoga.”
“Voyeur,” she whispered back.
“Exhibitionist.”
“Spy.” She giggled.
“Target.”
“Are you as turned-on as I am?”
“More,” he said, and then called out to his parents, “Mom, Dad, we’ll catch up with you at dinner. We forgot there’s somewhere else we have to be.”
Laughing together, they raced to her Jeep, drove back to that secluded beach and proceeded to break all the rules all over again.
