Keisha raised her own brow back at me, but didn’t explain herself. Gemma hugged her too, and then I got a hug goodbye from Harper.
“Take a chance on her,” Harper whispered in my ear. “I was scared once too and missed my opportunity.”
I wanted to ask her what she meant, but she pulled away. I watched silently as Keisha and Harper waved to us and walked to their car. Gemma stood beside me, pressing herself into my side while we watched their car drive away.
Gemma sighed.
“What’s wrong?” I asked.
She shrugged. “Nothing. Just end of vacation blues.”
“We have one more day. We’ll make it count,” I told her. “Do you want to head to bed?”
She shook her head. “Let’s wait for the fire to burn out.”
I went back to my seat and patted my lap. “I got your seat right here.”
She smiled and sat down on my lap again. She rubbed her thumb across my beard. “I like this seat better.”
I waggled my eyebrows at her. “Oh yeah? You want to sit on your throne upstairs for a bit?”
She laughed. “Not yet. I want to enjoy the last fire of vacation.”
“We can have another one tomorrow night,” I offered.
She shook her head. “Nah. Tonight being the last one feels right. I think I’m gonna want to chill and go to bed early tomorrow.”
She leaned her head on my shoulder, and we sat together for a little while longer, watching the last embers of the fire die down. We were both thinking hard, but this time, Gemma didn’t thrust a stone at me to channel all my energy into. This time, she was feeling the weight of our fling ending. We had one more day together, and I was going to make it count.
Eventually, the fire died out, and Gemma went to douse it completely. I cleaned up while she took care of the fire. I was doing the dishes at the sink when she surprised me by wrapping her arms around my waist from behind and kissing my neck.
“Hey, you,” I said as I turned in her arms. I brushed her hair out of her face and kissed her forehead. “You ready for bed?”
She nodded and yawned.
We trudged up the steps together and got ready for bed. I crawled into bed first, and Gemma came in after me. She laid her head on my chest and I stroked her hair. I didn’t know how I was going to manage sleeping without her by my side. I had been so afraid of breaking her heart that I never thought of the possibility of breaking my own. There was something inside me screaming that she was worth it, that I could make it work for us, but my brain knew what happened whenever I tried to have something for myself.
“You wanna go to sleep?” I asked.
We were lying in bed with all the lights on, not saying a word to each other, but not sleeping, either.
“I wore myself out with all the sex this afternoon,” she admitted with a sleepy smile.
I kissed her temple. “You were insatiable!”
She giggled. “I can’t help it. You make me so horny. I want to squeeze all the pleasure out of you.”
I frowned. “Gross.”
She looked up at me and wrinkled her nose. “Gross?”
I grinned. “Yeah, it sounds like you want to milk me dry of all my jizz.”
She laughed. “That’s not what I meant!”
I cocked my head at her in response.
“FELIX! It’s not!” She laughed.
