Taboo (14 page)

We both laugh and I lean my head back, enjoying the first rays of summer. Finley opens a magazine and reads the
interesting parts out loud. I nix her idea of a bikini-themed wedding so she can have Carter be ring-bearer and carry the ring down shirtless. On the other hand, I do approve of a beach wedding.

Carter at the ocean is just one thing I have to look forward to.

I’ve just gotten that warm, toasty feeling from the sun when I hear the familiar coil and release of a giant spring. I open my eyes just in time to see Carter flying through the air, elegant and precise until he shifts at the last second into a tight ball. Aqua-Man lands with a boom, sending showers of water across the pool deck, marking his territory the only way he knows how, covering me in rain.
