“You can put me down now,” she said, pushing away from me.
I was reluctant, but I did. The waves lapped at our legs, and I watched her as she scooped the water into her hands and let it run down her arms. She walked in deeper, the waves surrounding her slowly.
“See?” I said. “You need me. I saved your life.”
“You hardly saved my life. I was fine,” she smiled.
“Yes, you are,” I gazed at her. “Just go to dinner with me. Let me show you who I am, Naomi.”
“Devlin—”
I sloshed through the water to get closer to her and took her hands in mine. “Whatever it is that is troubling you, we can work through it. I’d be able to help a lot more if you would tell me what it is, but I understand if you can’t.”
“It has nothing to do with you.”
“I find that very hard to believe, especially when you have your best friend pushing me to find out what it is.”
She glared at me.
“Just dinner. That’s all. If you want to talk to me about it, that’s up to you. I won’t press. I just want a chance with you.”
She nodded, and it filled me with happiness.
“I feel better now.” She pulled her hands from me and went back to shore, looking back at me with a smile. She scooped up a handful of water in her hands and flung it at me, her giggles filling the air around me. I loved that she was trying to make the situation better, and I took advantage of her playful attitude.
“Oh, that’s it!” I warned. I sliced my open hand through the water and soaked her with one wave.
She squealed and ran at me in a futile attempt at pushing me into the water. She jumped on my back and wiggled around hoping I’d lose my footing, but I planted my feet securely, reached around and pulled her around to the front of me before buckling my legs and forcing the both of us into the water. She screamed just before she went under and popped back up laughing. It was music to my ears. I watched as she ran at me again, jumping into my arms and attempting to dunk me again.
Who would have thought I would have had this chance to be in her life again? I was going to make the best of it and try my damnedest to keep her this time. If that meant taking baby steps, I was prepared for that.
She stopped and looked at me, a seriousness blanketing her face. Her lips parted. Her fingers caressed the back of my neck. “I’ve missed you,” she said softly as water dripped off her nose.
“I’ve missed you too, Naomi.”
Her eyes closed, and a small gasp escaped her lips just before they pressed against mine. Our kiss deepened as her arms tightened around my neck. I didn’t want this moment to end.
I savored her touch, her tongue teasing my lower lip as it snuck out of her mouth. I did the same, our tongues dancing together. Her legs were wrapped around my waist, and I was sure she could feel me getting hard for her.
Feeding my hands down her back to her ass, I caressed her, pulling her into me. She gasped again and it fueled me. I walked out of the ocean with her in my arms, our kiss heating up and destroying any choice I made about taking things slow. As soon as we got to the shore, she dropped her feet to the sand, her hands sliding down my chest.
I glanced in the direction of the party, but we were so far down the beach that they were no longer visible. I looked in the opposite direction and saw the beach end with large rocks that fed down into the ocean. We were completely alone. I had the opportunity to make love to her again, but I didn’t want it to go that far.
She sat down, her eyes looking up at me. I sat next to her, and she intertwined our fingers together. Her other hand went to my face, cupping the side and drawing me closer to her. Her lips touched mine, and I consumed her, inhaling deeply as our bodies pressed together in the sand. Her hand slid down my stomach to my crotch, and she rubbed me there, exciting me further, intensifying my desire for her.
“Naomi,” I whispered.
She hesitated only for a moment, her mouth moving to my chest. “I want you, Devlin. I’ve wanted you so badly since that first night we were together. I want you so badly it aches deep down inside.” She spoke, her words breaking up between kisses as she traveled down my chest. “You are the only one who can satisfy that ache.” Her hand worked my cock through my shorts, and I was finding it difficult to say no to her.
