“Kai,” I whisper, turning to look at him, and with all these people here, this gift feels way too personal. I know I need to thank him properly later, but for now, all I can do is tell him how much I love it.
“This is…I don’t even know what to say. It’s beautiful, and I love it so much. I’ve never gotten something this…” I can’t find the right words, so instead, I throw my arms around his neck, pulling him in for a kiss.
“Awww, I love this for you, Quinn,” Daisy says. “Now you have your own board, and you can come surfing with us in the mornings.”
“Oh, I’m not sure I’m ready for that just yet,” I reply, turning back to look at it again.
“Sure you are,” Sage adds in. “I said the same thing when I first moved here, but the only way you get better is to just throw yourself into it. Go out every day, catch waves, get knocked on your ass, saltwater pouring from your nose.” She giggles at this comment.
“Girls’ surf day tomorrow,” Alana squeals, clapping her hands. “Now open the rest of your presents.”
This day is better than I could have ever imagined. Honestly, I dreaded my birthdays, missing my parents more than ever on them, but today was totally different.
It felt special again, and I owe that to everyone here, especially Kai for setting it all up. All the gifts: a new bikini from Alana and Flynn, surf wax and a rash guard from Owen and Sloane, a framed picture of the ocean drawn by Nate from him and Sage, a cute sundress from Daisy and Miles, and even Eli came in with a candle from a little local shop.
The cake was delicious as always, and I made sure to thank Daisy for it. And as the night winds down, all of us outside on the back deck overlooking the ocean, my birthday has been one I will remember for the rest of my life.
Kai stands, kissing the top of my head, he disappears into the house, and when I look over at Daisy, she motions that I should follow him.
Letting out a laugh, I hesitate for a second, wondering if it’s too obvious, the two of us going missing, but I stop caring.
“Go get him,” she whispers to me, soft enough that no one else notices, and I do just that.
Finding my way to Kai’s bedroom, I step through the doorway, hearing the toilet flush. I wait, both a mix of nervousness and pent-up sexual tension pushing me along.
As I walk toward the attached bathroom, stopping in front of the partially closed door, Kai opens it and sees me standing there.
“Quinn,” he purrs, the sound of his voice vibrating through me, deep and sexy.
And without giving it another thought, I step toward him, my hands on his chest, pushing him back into the bathroom.
My lips collide with his, our tongues tangling in desperation, our breathing growing hard and fast as my hands slide under his T-shirt. His hand curls around the back of my neck, pulling me closer to him until our bodies are flush.
He backs me up against the counter, his hands gripping my ass. He lifts me onto it, my legs spread, and he steps between them. I fall back against the mirror, his already hard dick lined up perfectly with the ache between my thighs.
I rock back and forth over his erection, chasing the friction my body has so desperately been craving, feeling his dick, hard and long. Heat ripples through me at just how turned on he is.
“Just like that, babe,” he growls. “Get yourself off.”
“Take me home,” I murmur back, my words coming out breathy and desperate.
The head of his cock brushes over my clit, straining against his boardshorts. My panties are soaked, the material thin, and with each movement, I feel him more and more.
God, he feels so good. So damn good that I can feel my body building toward it, climbing and chasing, needing release.
But I’ve never…
“I wanna take you right here,” he moans, dropping to his knees, pulling me to the edge of the counter, my feet now resting on his shoulders. “I want you to come in my mouth, Quinn.”
As soon as the words leave his mouth, I feel my body tense up.
Fuck my life.
I want to come in his mouth like I’ve never wanted anything in my life, but what if I can’t? What if I fuck this all up? And the last thing I want to do is fake it with Kai.
“I, uh…I’m nervous. Your friends are out there,” I say, pulling my bottom lip between my teeth. I’m not sure what else to say because admitting I’ve never come with a guy before feels like a lot to put on him.
His hooded gaze moves over my face, taking me in as he leans in, his nose trailing along my panties. Inhaling deeply, he lets out a low moan.
