“I could die right now, Kat, and I’d be a happy man because I’ve found everything I want in your touch.”
“Please fuck me, Heath,” I whisper.
His expression grows even more intense. I’m literally humping his cock, using my hand to rub myself up and down his length.
“Kat, I didn’t bring a condom. I didn’t think?—”
“I’m on the pill. I want you inside me,” I demand.
I know we should probably engage in more foreplay, make it more memorable somehow, but all I can think about is having him inside me right now.
Heath knows me so well. He can see how impatient I am, how desperately I need him. He reaches between my legs and grabs the crotch of my panties, tearing them away from me; they remain wrapped around one ankle. Then he pushes one of my knees up and looks into my eyes as he enters me. He doesn’t ask me if I’m ready because Heath Clifton understands my wild side better than anybody.
“Let me know if I hurt you,” he says before pressing forward.
He enters me with one long gentle thrust, and I cry out into the night, finally satiated, finally full of the man I love. Heath groans, too, like the sensation is too much.
“You’re doing so well, Kat. You’re taking me so well. Just breathe, pretty girl. You’re mine, Kat. My girl. Mine.”
I wrap my legs around him and move on his cock, signaling I’m okay, that I want him to do his worst.
“So fuckin’ tight,” he groans. “I’m yours, Kat. Every part of me belongs to you. You’re my life, Kat. My entire world. You can never leave me, Kat. I won’t let you because I’m a dead man without you. I won’t have any direction, any hope because you’re my beating heart.”
Heath kisses me as he thrusts inside me, filling me, and it feels like I’m rising to the sky, expanding, like I can never get enough of this.
He pounds away, his hips crashing to mine, grinding me into the sandy blanket, making my breasts bounce with the reverberation of his thrusts.
His fingers on my skin feel like fire, each cell reacts to his touch.
My pussy clenches, trying to hold him inside, and gushes with arousal as I near the biggest orgasm of my life. I start to cry out as it overtakes me, unable to contain myself, and as my pussy milks his hardness, Heath comes too, in a guttural groan that sounds so sexy it pushes me over the edge.
“Holy Shit!” Heath exclaims as we finally return to earth. Our hearts slow to their normal rhythms, and our bodies recover from the aftershocks of coming so hard. “I think I finally believe in God because I just had my first taste of paradise.”
Heath rolls off of me onto his back, and together we stare up at the stars as the waves continue to crash against the shores of Wainscott Hollow.
CHAPTER 7
Heath
It’shard to believe we’re finally graduating. Not a single parent is here to congratulate us. We’re double orphans, both of us, but at least we have each other. We picked up our own cap and gowns, made and sent our own announcements, planned our own party, and navigated the entire process without any help from adults. Henry, Kat’s supposed guardian, didn’t lift a finger to get us through this. If anything, he was a hindrance.
“We’ll have to see if we can ask a teacher or someone’s parent to get pictures of us when we walk,” Kat reminds me.
Our cheering section is each other. Afterward, we’ll hug one another. No mom to say she loves us, and no dad to say he’s proud.
“We’re two adults. We can handle this,” I say out loud to reassure both of us.
I look over and admire Kat, who’s driving like a maniac over the speed limit to get us there on time. A rush of pride flows throughme when I look at her. This hasn’t been easy, and she’s pulled it off with amazing grace. Kids get crushed under the pressure of Fairmont, even those with a ton of support at home. Kat prevailed and sailed through, all on her own.
“I think,” Kat says, taking a hairpin turn way too fast. “Since we’re both graduating with honors. Our parents would be proud. Or maybe evenareproud if you believe in the afterlife.” Kat looks at me and smiles.
“Watch the road! I’d like to make it there alive,” I tell her with a smile.
Neither of us says what we’re both thinking—what happens after graduation? It’s obvious that Henry won’t want me at Wainscott Hollow anymore. It’s nothing short of a miracle he’s tolerated me this long. A product of guilt and not wanting to call attention to the household in chaos, which is crumbling under his guardianship. Henry likely doesn’t want to cause trouble with Fairmont either, less they revoke his high school diploma, which he barely earned anyway.
Fairmont, for all its elitism and snobbery, has been a safe haven for Kat and me. We’ve both excelled and kept close relationships with our teachers, and though decisions aren’t back yet, I think we’ll likely get a lot of offers from the schools we applied to. What happens tousfrom there, that’s anybody’s guess. Maybe there will no longer be an us, and life as I know it will cease to exist. But I can’t even entertain the idea of losing the other half of my soul. Kat’s the reason I’ve trudged along, the reason I wake up in the morning. She’s the only family I have, the silver lining to every dark cloud that’s obscured my horizon.
When Kat walksacross the stage, my heart soars with pride, and I can’t help but rise from my seat and cheer her on even though we were supposed to hold our applause. She does the same for me when it’s my turn, breaking from the approved formation and dragging me in for a heartfelt hug.
