He held the back of my head loosely. I was free to move as he took a step closer, and his dry, bare chest was touching my covered breasts. I had never wanted to be naked more than I wanted to, right at this moment, to be skin to skin.

He dipped his head and firmly took hold of my nape, massaging his fingers into the crook of my neck. He was giving my plenty of time to back away. I didn’t move a muscle, I didn’t look away, only to drop my stare to his mouth. His lips parted, the tip of his tongue danced behind his teeth as he came nearer.

A moment later, he kissed me, pressing his lips to mine. His other hand found my hip and kept me in place. We both deepened the kiss, and that’s when our arms circled each other’s backs. I felt his back muscles, sliding my hands up and down as I kept kissing him. He tentatively pushed his tongue into my mouth and searched me out. Soft licks in and out, as we kissed. I was in heaven. I reached up to smooth the soft bare skin at the base of his neck and then stroke the stubble over the top of his head. The fine hairs, tickled my palms as I touched every part of his head. My breath was becoming haggard, but I didn’t want this kiss to stop. If he kept going, I would be well on the way to an epic orgasm. Reluctantly I broke away.

“You taste salty,” I said, leaning my forehead against his chest. I placed my lips against the dip between his pectoral muscles.

Callum lifted my head by cradling my cheek in his hand and bent his head so that his lips skimmed the edge of my ear. I shivered, clutching his wetsuit.

“You taste of coffee, is there any left?” He asked and then kissed my shoulder before pulling away.

Bending down, I took the coffee cup and tasted it first.

“It’s cold, you were swimming for a while,” I offered him my paper cup of latte.

Callum took the cup and drank a swig of the coffee. His wince was comical, but he still swallowed the liquid. His silver bracelet, loose on his wrist, slid up his arm. I hadn’t noticed it before or the red symbol on the silver plate. Before I could ask, he dropped his wrist and pecked my lips with a kiss. All thoughts evaporated.

“That’s vile,” he said and handed it back.

“I warned you.”

I took the cup back. This part was my second favourite part of coming to watch Callum train. He had to change out of his wetsuit and into his shorts and t-shirt. I got to hold the towel while he changed. He had never asked me to look away, but I did the first time. Well, I may have peeked a little. By the third time, I peeked a lot. It was just a fleeting glance, but it was enough for my libido to do a salsa in my belly.

I cleared my throat for him to stop staring at my breasts and his eyes snapped to mine. He grinned and shrugged unapologetically. I held up the large blue towel and raised my eyebrows. A few other people had come down to the beach, but none of them were in the water. He turned his back to the sea and stripped out of his wetsuit. This time I turned my head to the left to take in the dilapidated West Pier. He chuckled as he changed and I didn’t look.

“I’m offended that you haven’t given me a glance today,” he said.

I looked at him as he pulled his white t-shirt over his head. The brief glimpse of his chest was not enough to prevent a groan spilling out of my lips. Now that we’d kissed I wanted more, my hands itched to touch him again. I had to remain strong and not kiss him again.

“I don’t glance every time, sometimes by accident,” I confessed some of the truth.

“Was the kiss so bad you don’t want to look at me anymore?”

He tugged the towel from my hands while I stood there dumbfounded. Was that what he thought?

“Are you kidding? I thought you were handsome the first time I saw you. I remember telling you that you were fit no so long afterwards. Now you’ve kissed me, my admiration is at a whole new level. I can’t look at you, I don’t know what would happen if I did. My hands have a mind of their own.” I said.

He stepped closer now that the towel was folded and dropped to the blanket behind me. He gently took hold of my hips and dipped his knees, so he was at eye level.

“Why is that a problem?”

“You can’t kiss me again, Callum, I don’t know you well enough. One kiss will never be enough, and I don’t know if I can go further with you until I know for sure.”

“Know what for sure?”

“You’re not another in a line of rich arseholes that are horrified when I tell them everything about me.”

“You can tell me anything, I’ll never be horrified, ever,” he said. His stare pinned me to the spot, shaking my hips while he spoke the words.

“You don’t know if you will be disappointed,” I whispered.

“Do Elliott and Steph know what you are too scared to tell me?”

I nodded, they knew of my deafness and my poor excuse for parents. They knew I was next to broke.

“I have known those two for a long time. Elliott and Steph suggested I rent the flat from you, Elliott knows me better than I know myself. If Steph didn’t think I could handle whatever it is you don’t want to tell me, she would never have pushed me to come and see you.”

I rested my hands on his forearms, stroking the hairs with my fingernails. A child screamed with delight to our right as her dad lifted her high into the air. She had a cute yellow swimming suit on and inflatable arm bands. I smiled in their direction.
