I chuckled. “I’d rather not know what you mean.”

More drops smashed against my face. Nova wiped some off her cheeks, biting her lip. “Tell me what it is.”

“You’re going to get soaked,” I said. “If I get to choose, I’d rather that happened in a different way.”

Her smile took on a mischievous edge. She tucked wet strands behind her ears, then…

“Race you,” she yelled, sprinting ahead.

Laughing, I ran after her. She glanced over her shoulder, then took off, but I caught her easily.

“Not fair.” Her giggles echoed on the empty beach as she tried to get away from me. I caught her by the waist, lifted her, and tossed her over my shoulder, lightly smacking her ass.

“Told you I run daily. You chose not to believe me.”

One arm secured around Nova’s thighs, I ran to the car while bursts of laughter flew out of her lips.

I put her down by my SUV, then pressed her to the rear door. My mouth took hers while my heart still thrashed. Rain sluiced down our faces as we kissed.

My tongue slid against hers. Her fingertips ran over the nape of my neck, sending an array of goose bumps over my skin. I wedged my knee between her legs, cradling her face in my palms. She shivered. Still kissing her, I unlocked the car.

“Let’s get in,” I rasped.

As soon as I opened the door, Nova slid into the backseat. I sat beside her. The raindrops pounded the car’s roof, drowning out the sound of our breaths.

She leaned in and cupped my jaw. “You’re not going to finish what you started?”

“Got caught up looking at you.” I tugged her onto my lap.

She straddled me, exhaling as my lips found her neck. I undid the top button of her shirt, then another one, and one more. Red lace peeked from beneath the flannel. I hardened to the point of pain. Nova shrugged out of her shirt, letting it fall to the floor.

Then she kissed me, digging her fingertips into my shoulders. I unclasped her bra, then palmed her breasts, squeezing and caressing her nipples until she whimpered into the kiss. Her fingers found the button on my jeans. She unzipped them, and I helped her tug them and my underwear down until she uncovered me.

Then it was her turn. I slipped my fingers beneath the lace of her panties, parting her until I felt her wetness coat my fingers.

I slipped my index finger inside. “Eyes on me, Nova.”

They clung to mine—so blue they reminded me of the sea. I moved my finger in and out, then found her clit with my thumb.

Her eyes drifted shut, lips parting.

I rubbed her in tight circles until she rolled her hips, seeking more.

“Use your words, amor.” I captured her nipple with my lips. “What do you need now?”

She curled her fingers around my cock. “This. You.”

I stopped touching her and reached for the condom in my jeans. As soon as I put it on, I gripped my shaft, aligning myself with her pussy. “I meant what I said. Eyes on me.”

“Bossy,” she whispered, leaning her forehead against mine.

I brushed my knuckles over her cheek. “You love it.”

Her lips met mine as she sank down on me. “Fuck,” I mumbled, breathing in and out. She felt too good. Too mine. And I couldn’t help but want more—in every way. I gripped her ass, guiding her movements. Her breath caught when I thrust harder.

“Like this?” I rubbed her clit, satisfaction flooding me as she moaned into my neck, clinging to my shoulders.

I stopped. Nova whimpered in protest, and I moved again, keeping the same rhythm.
