Kissing Kendall: A Gone Wild Novel
Page 16
Charlie might’ve said something else or not. Bryan didn’t know. He’d come around a bulkhead to see the same young woman—he was pretty sure, based on her hair still twisted into a conservative bun—but she was dressed in nothing but a thin cardigan that didn’t quite cover her very nice ass and a sensible pair of panties. Maybe she was wearing a bra. He’d love to find out. The sight was unexpected and enough to stop him in his tracks. “I’ll be in touch.”
He ended the call.
“Aubrey!” The woman was on her tiptoes, one hand steadying her against the door as she had the other balled into a fist. She pounded the door to punctuate each word. “I. Need. Pants.”
“No you don’t!” a muffled voice replied.
Bryan was inclined to agree.
“What am I supposed to do?” the woman asked. “You’re crazy.”
“Put on a swimsuit. Free those thighs!” The answer came through the door. “You have great thighs!”
Also true. She had shapely legs, and he could think of a lot of ways to appreciate her thighs in particular. Abruptly, he remembered he was still recording. He stopped and cleared his throat. Standing there recording for too long was already way past questionable behavior. “She’s right, you know.”
The woman spun around, her back braced against her friend’s door. “What the hell?”
Her gaze took him in, then focused on his phone, still conspicuously held out in front of him. Well, this looked really bad. Shit.
He lowered the phone to his side. “Sorry, I shouldn’t have done that. For what it’s worth, I was catching video of the boat in general but it was quite the scene and I got distracted. I didn’t mean to keep recording.”
The woman had a mix of innocent horror and scandalized dismay going on that made him want to see what else pushed her outside of her comfort zone. That was, if she didn’t decide to hate him right on the spot. “My name is Bryan. Do you need help?”

About the Author
New York Times and USA TODAY bestselling author Katee Robert learned to tell her stories at her grandpa’s knee. Her 2015 title, The Marriage Contract, was a RITA finalist, and RT Book Reviews named it 'a compulsively readable book with just the right amount of suspense and tension." When not writing sexy contemporary and romantic suspense, she spends her time playing imaginary games with her children, driving her husband batty with what-if questions, and planning for the inevitable zombie apocalypse.
