Chapter 26

Karessa

I was concerned to see Ainslee bawling with Jagger. Relieved when they told us they weren’t sad tears. Now, I feel like the only one who doesn’t know what’s going on. The truth? What does that mean? Either way, I focus on being happy that no one is sad except my naughty bits. Still, I’m mulling over what Oran said along with the possessive kiss he delivered to get Tony out of my face. I want to believe he’s all in, he’s been pleasantly surprising me since our wedding, but can someone really change their tune so drastically in two months?

We may not have made it to the beach, but being out on the beautiful water and imagining the way Oran’s dark-grey eyes are looking at me underneath his shades was all worth it. Whatever Jagger told Ainslee have then wrapped up in their own little love bubble more than usual. I stare out at the water to distract myself until I feel watched. Oran sits across from me, his white t-shirt teases me with what’s underneath. He looks so good with shades I want to cry. He smirks as if he can read my thoughts and crooks his finger to beckon me.

Rising, I follow his command until I’m standing between his legs. I can’t tell the exact placement of his gaze, but I’m guessing he’s looking at my hard nipples. The breeze and him have them on their worst behavior.

“One flick of the wrist.”

“What?” My question hitches as his hand snakes up my inner thigh.

“One flick of the wrist and I can have you naked.” He pulls me into his lap and adjusts me until his erection is nestled between my ass cheeks. “If we were fucking, would you be bold enough to take a ride right here?” My wetness makes me squirm. Oran groans with his mouth near my ear. “Be still before we give them a show.”

Somehow, the idea of riding him out in the open with a small audience makes my clit throb.

“It’d depend on how dedicated I was to getting off.”

“I can make you very dedicated,” he promises while running kisses along my neck.

“Oran!” I whisper-shout when his fingers slip under one of my triangles to rub my hard nipple. I’m facing Jagger and Ainslee’s backs. They could turn around any moment to see what he’s doing.

“What’s on your mind?”

“You mean other than me being horny?”

“Yes, that’s obvious,” he teases as he pats me between my legs. “Earlier.”

His finger grazes where my inner thigh meets the seam of my bottoms.

“I can’t concentrate on anything right now.”

“You better. An orgasm for your thoughts.” Squirming, I try to get more friction, but his other hand grips my thigh. “Aht. Aht. Aht. I’m in control here.”

Oran pushes my legs open until I’m straddling his hard thigh. I lie back on his chest so I can look up at him.

“I feel like cooking.”

He cups my chin and gives me the sweetest hint of a kiss.

“Okay, but that’s not what you were thinking. Did you know when you’re in deep thought you bite the right side of your bottom lip.” He rubs the area he just mentioned. “And you furrow your brows,” his finger goes to them. “The left goes higher than the right. Then you cross your legs and wiggle your foot. You do not do all of that to plan to cook.”

I’m surprised he’s noticed so much, especially when I’m not even aware.

“I was worried about Ainslee.”

“She’s okay.” His roaming hands resume their torture as he places slow, sensual kisses on the back of my shoulder. “Actually, she’s more than okay. Turn around.”

I face him, straddling his leg again. Oran slowly pulls me closer, teasing my sensitive skin. He pushes my shades to the top of my head and removes his. I love the way his eyes look in the natural light. The lightness of the gray with the darker specs is interesting, but the openness of his gaze is something I’m noticing more often. The guarded caution is missing as he waits for me to finish my thought.

“I can see she’s okay and I’m happy about it, but it is weird being the only person not knowing what’s going on.”

“What do you know about Ainslee in general?”

“She owns a bakery, the Bishops’ only child, and she vlogs.”

“And her childhood?”
