“I’ll give you the address.”

“I’m not leaving without you,” I clarify because it seems like she’s trying to get rid of me.

“Can you take the time off? I know you don’t usually do vacations.” She pauses and quickly covers what she said. “I mean, I heard you don’t. I could be wrong.”

“You’re not wrong. I don’t do vacations. I work all the time, but that’s okay. I can definitely afford to be here. I keep telling you, I want to be with you.”

She blushes and turns to look out at the water. Without turning to look at me, she says, “I want to be with you. I always have. Are you okay with our age gap now?”

I reach over and turn her to look at me. “Briar, you’re perfect just the way you are. I don’t care about the age gap. I care about you and Orion.”

She pulls her lip between her teeth again, and this time I lean over and kiss it softly. I want to be rough and kiss her hard, but I don’t want to hurt her more.

“How bad are you really hurt?” I ask when I pull away.

“Bruised ribs, and bruised elbow and ego.” She softly chuckles as she leans back in her chair again and watches Orion. “Why?” She doesn’t look at me again.

“Because all I keep thinking about is dragging my tongue all over this sexy tan you got going on.” I watch as she shifts her legs and know I turned her on.

“Mom.” Orion interrupts, just like I know he will for many years to come. I’m not letting her go now.

Chapter 8

Briar

“Have you figured out how they got past your security?” Thor asks as we sit out on the lanai having a drink after I put Orion to bed.

Thor has been with us since he walked up at the beach. He followed us back to the house and is now lounging back on the sofa. His feet are up on the table as we look out at the ocean. Night has descended, and the full moon is shining off the water.

“I have an idea, but I don’t know how it’s possible.” I turn to look at him.

“Walk with me.” He changes the subject and stands.

I take his hand and we move down the sand toward the water’s edge. He turns me and wraps his arms around me. I look up at him, and my breath catches as I see the look in his eyes.

“I’ve wanted a second chance with you for so long. I never thought I could get back here again.” He releases his arms from around me and gently slides his palms against my face.

When we got home from the beach, I changed into a lightweight spaghetti strapped maxi dress with a slit up the thigh. His hands slide into my hair. He pulls me up and our lips meet.

It's fire instantly. I want everything. I want all of him. He groans and turns his head to the side as he holds me in place. Our tongues tangle around each other, and my hands wrap around his neck and go into the back of his hair.

We kiss until we are breathless, and when he pulls away, it’s only to kiss down my neck. He slides the strap of my dress down and pauses.

“Are your guards smart enough to turn their back if I make love to you right here?”

“Yes.” I sigh. I don’t know if I’m agreeing to him making love to me or about the guards.

His hot mouth surrounds my aching nipple, and I come up on my toes, trying to push more of it into his mouth. Before I know it, my dress is gone and I’m lying on the sand on top of it and his shirt. I don’t know how it happened, but he’s above me, kissing me again. I’m running my hands across his muscular back and arms. He’s got one hand holding himself up while the other slides down my body. When he gets to my core, he groans and pulls away.

“You’re fucking soaked, Bri. Tell me I can slide into you. I need you. I’ll be gentle,” he begs me, and I press a finger to his lips to stop him.

“Yes, please.”

He’s completely naked in a blur, and his cock is notched at my entrance, ready to go in. I want him, but something makes me pause. I’m not sure what it is. I’m about to ask him to hold on when he slides in, and we both throw our heads back and groan. He recovers quicker than me. He fills me up completely. I forgot how big he is. How he touched areas inside me that my BOB doesn’t even touch. He pulls out and slides back in. I feel the grit of the sand against my back as I’m pushed off the edge of our clothing. His mouth fastens onto my neck, and I feel the pull of him sucking on it gently. I claw at his back and pull him in tighter, needing him deeper.

“More, please,” I beg.

“Fuck yeah.”
