“I’m fine,” I assure him. “This is what I want. It’s what I need right now. Please don’t stop.”
Hayes swallows, and I think he might deny me, but then he presses his forehead to mine and closes his eyes. His hips rock, and I wince, adjusting. But he’s slow, careful, as he does it again and again.
Hayes looks at me, and I stare so deeply into his eyes that I lose myself. I’m a piece of him as he slowly claims me. As he rocks deeper and harder with each thrust. Until water splashes around us.
Pain turns to pleasure until I’m tingling from our kiss down to my toes. Until I can’t hold back anymore, and I’m screaming into the night for anyone who might hear us. That only spurs Hayes on more.
His teeth rake over the soft flesh of my neck, sending shivers to my core. His hands glide over my skin like he’s memorizing every inch, so I do the same. I explore him as he thrusts into me. The thickness of his shoulders, the harsh cut of his jaw. The threads of gold in his rich, green eyes.
I can’t get enough.
He’s captivating.
Devastating.
His fingers thread into my hair, gripping and holding tight. Tilting my face to his as if my eyes hold an answer he’s been searching for. Water laps around us, every sensation heightened. The breeze kisses my wet skin until I’m prickling with awareness. Flooded with emotion.
Hayes snaps his hips, deep and quick, striking the heart of my being. His thick cock slides in and out, striking aplace I didn’t know existed. Blooming pleasure I’ve only ever imagined.
“You’re so fucking beautiful.” He kisses my jaw. “So fucking sweet.”
His tongue traces me until he’s claiming my mouth, devouring me. With his body, his words. This man chomps a bite from my being, and good lord, he can keep it. He can keep all of me.
Hesitation flaps away on the wind, and I steal all I can get.
My kiss gluttonous.
My touch urgent.
He’s a craving. A longing I didn’t know I had.
The louder I scream, the harder he fucks me until I’m coming apart around him, and he’s grunting with his release.
We cling to each other at the side of the pool, catching our breath. He’s still inside me, and I’ve never felt more whole, even knowing the risks of what I’ve just done. When my uncle finds out—
I can’t consider the consequences right now.
“Shit.” Hayes grunts, looking down between us like he just realized something. “I didn’t wear a condom. Didn’t even think about it.”
“I didn’t think about it either.” I’ve never had to think about it before. “But I’m on the pill if that makes you feel better. I’ve always had these terrible periods, so the pill helps regulate that time of the month—” I cut myself off. “You don’t want to hear about that.”
“I don’t mind.” He holds me tighter, not an ounce of disgust on his face.
“What about you?” I swallow hard, realizing that even though I was a virgin, I might have just put myself in a very dangerous situation, considering he’s a stranger, and he’s clearly much more experienced. “Do I need to be worried about anything?”
“I get tested regularly. And I never go without protection. Well… except for this time, I guess. You make it so I can’t think. You fucking consume me.” He tucks my hair behind my ear. “Still, I’ll wear one next time.”
“Next time?” I hitch an eyebrow. “I thought it was clear this is a one-night thing.”
“Night’s not over yet.” He smirks, pulling me in for a kiss as he lifts me in his arms.
Hayes carries me out of the pool and into the room where he delivers on that promise. On the couch, against the wall, in the shower, in the bed. Tomorrow I won’t be able to walk, but it will be worth it.
We talk and laugh and fuck like it’s the last night on Earth. Who knows, for me, maybe it is. At least this is how I get to spend it.
