I’d never seen her look so gloomy; she radiated sunshine with her bows and pink clothing but deep-down Cleo harbored such dark things from her past. It was at that moment that I knew that whoever made Cleo feel like that, regardless of whether it was in the past, present or future,they’d pay.
“And then I told my roommate about what happened, stupid… I know. And then immediately after, I was outcasted by everyone—professors, students, the fucking lunch ladies. And it was only after I paid four thousand fucking dollars for my mistake that the texts started. They’ve been texting me since January.”
January?! It’sOctober.
“Cleo…” I frown, wanting so badly to ease just a fraction of her pain. She twists back around in my hold, resting her head on my chest. “What can I do to make you feel better?” I ask.
“Just hold me…” she trails off softly—and so I do.
We sit in a still position, me holding her as she and I listen to the calming tunes of our environment for all of five minutes until she jumps up from my lap with a bright smile on her face. The setting sun casts a heavenly glow behind her as she stretches, smiling from ear to ear, pulling a full 360 with her mood.
Cleo slowly lifts the bottom hem of her dress and it isn't until the soft fabric puddles on the sand by my foot that I come to the clear realization that she’s stripping her clothes in front of me.
Fucking hell…
“What… What are you doing?” I cough as she turns on her heels, her matching red lace bra and underwear set doessomethingto me as her ass jiggles slightly.
Have I ever told her that red was my favorite color?
She looksamazingin red. Fucking devilish.
“Washing the pain away… Want to join?” She cocks a raised brow at me, undoing the clasp of her bra. She turns her head to the side, eyeing me. “I mean… Why are we at the beach if not to swim?” Her voice is sultry and sweet as she rolls down her red lace panties and runs to the water, diving in.
“You coming?” she yells back to the shore, her head peeking over the water and I am enraptured by her.
I stand immediately, ripping off my shirt with eagerness. Cleo fucking Jones wants me to skinny dip with her. I hurry to take off my pants, tripping over them as I try to run before they’re fully off. But who the fuck cares? That girl is going to be the death of me and I can proudly say that I will die a happy man if it means that I can spend just a little more time with her. Donning my briefs, I run to water where Cleo treads carefully and dive in.
As the sun sets behind us and the moon takes over the sun’s rightful spot in the sky, I swim towards the girl of my dreams. Cleo in the light is gorgeous but in the moonlight?She is captivating. Her brown hair is curly from the saltwater and her skin shines a beautiful hue under the stars. I am in complete and utter awe of her, and she doesn’t even know it.
“Come on, Lover Boy. I don’t bite.”

Cleo
As soon as Blakeis close enough to me, I give him my evilest smirk and send a large splash of water his way. Blake has the most devious look in his eyes as he prowls towards me in the water like a starving alligator. This is the moment I realized that I fucked up.
I don’t get too far in my attempt to escape his wrath and soon enough we’re a laughing mess of flesh in water, splashing each other and filling the air with happiness and joy. Blake didn’t have to do much to cheer me up; almost immediately after telling him about my past at Brighton, I felt an invisible weight be lifted from my shoulders. He didn’t judge me for making a sex tape or interrupt me, he simply sat there and comforted me as I spilled my guts and cried to him on ourfirstdate.
We’re splashing each other and laughing until our stomachs hurt and I don’t notice the space between us receding until we’re mere inches apart from one another under the setting sun.
Something in the air between us sparks to life as I beam up at the man in front of me. Blake looks like sex in human form as he wades in the water. His wavy hair sticks to his forehead and the warm tones of the pink and purple sky casts his skin in a beautiful glow as he looks down at me.
My pussy tingles from the sight of him and I can’t help the yelp that escapes my lips as he pulls me into him in the water, a hand holding my lower back while the other cups my face. My heart stammers in my chest as I look up at him, the feeling of our bare chests connected sends me reeling and I can’t help but smile up at him.
Blake softly pushes a curly tendril of my hair behind my ear, his raspy voice soft as he speaks.
“There you are… There’s that beautiful smile,” He says in a low rumble, those icy blue eyes that remind me so much of the water we’re in twinkles as they flicker from my hair to my lips.
My body reacts to him as I slide closer, biting my bottom lip as his hardness presses against my belly ring. I don’t have to look down to know that it’s huge and when Blake adjusts his hand in my hair, pulling our face just mere centimeters apart, I know that we aren’t leaving this water without consuming one another.
“I’m going to devour you, Princess,” He grumbles, low and possessively but his eyes tell a much softer story as they lock with my own and I don’t think twice as I connect my mouth to his.
The kiss is so much different from our previous ones, where those were like a dance, soft and sweet. This one is like a battle. Blake battles for dominance over my mouth and I put up a fight for the most part, just because I like to be a tease before I give in to him, allowing him to consume my mouthandme.
I moan loudly as his lips connect with the flesh of my neck and his large hand works its way from the swell of my ass to my drenched cunt.
He plays with the sensitive bud that holds all of my arousal and I arch into him as he smiles against my neck, cupping me. I groan as his tongue laps at the skin where my neck is the most sensitive and smirk at him as his strong arms grip me, pulling my body up just a bit as he takes the swell of my left breast into his mouth.
