He laughed softly, shaking his head. His laughter was like music to my ears. He had an adorable laugh, and I loved it.

“Like what?” I pressed, leaning closer.

“Like you want me to kiss you,” he said, turning away from me.

Maybe I wanted him to.

“Do you want me to kiss you, Chloe?” he whispered, his voice caressing my ears.

“I’m still mad at you,” I said, and he smiled, leaning closer to me.

“Please don’t go back to ignoring me,” he groaned, and I smiled.

“You can kiss me,” I whispered.

“It’s not the alcohol talking, right?” he asked as he cupped my cheek, his thumb brushing my skin like a feather.

“I have barely finished my glass, Tristan,” I said, and he glanced at my glass to confirm.

“You’re not going to regret this later, are you?” he asked, guiding my lips closer to his. His nose brushed against mine, our lips mere inches from touching.

“Are you?” I asked back, my eyes flickering between his lips and crystal-blue eyes.

“No,” he said before bringing his lips to mine in a slow kiss.

I closed my eyes and responded to his kiss. His tongue met mine in a union. A throaty groan escaped his lips as I drew his lower lip between my teeth and went in for a deep kiss. The sound only increased my yearning for his touch.

His full lips were so soft and moved smoothly with mine. His hand moved to my right arm; he ran his thumb gingerly down my arm, sending sparks through my body.

I loved this feeling. I loved his touch. I loved the way he kissed me with relentless need. So what if all this was a lie? What if I was doing the wrong thing? I didn’t know where my life was headed, and nothing felt right anymore. I would just go with anything I could get at this moment. Go with the flow and see where it took me. Maybe we didn’t know what we were doing, but we enjoyed doing it.

I moved closer, putting my hand around his neck. I deepened the kiss, and he followed every movement of my lips. He pulled away but not completely. His forehead rested on mine. He ran his thumb over my swollen lips, pulling my lower lip down with his eyes glued to my mouth. I was out of breath from the heat spreading through me like fireworks.

His head dipped down and kissed before I could catch my breath. His hand roamed up my hip, his fingers pressing into my hip as he swallowed the moans leaving my lips. The sweet tingles spreading through my body dissolved every ounce of resistance away. Forgiveness set you free, and I couldn’t stay mad at him forever. He’d already made up for his mistake, and I just wanted to move on from it.

I found myself moving to his lap and straddling him. My legs wrapped around his waist as I found a comfortable position. He smiled against my lips and kissed me softly, like his lips were writing poetry on mine.

I gasped softly when Tristan’s hand glided to my backside, grabbed me, and ran smoothly down the length of my thigh. His fingers trailed up and played with the rope of my bikini bottom. He smiled against my lips and pulled away. My arms remained around his shoulders as his fingers kept playing with the rope holding my bikini together. He pressed a kiss to my nose, and I giggled.

“I’m slowly getting addicted to you,” he said tracing my collarbone and skimming down my chest.

He leaned closer and kissed my shoulder. He kissed the corner of my lips and buried his face in my neck. I giggled when he bit on my neck a little harshly, and I was certain he’d left a mark.

“I don’t care how complicated this gets,” he said, kissing a spot below my ear.

He pulled away and stared at me with a softness I had never seen on him. I felt something shift in my chest, and it terrified me. I withdrew from his lap and sat next to him. We stayed in silence with our legs shivering in the water but far from cold. His arm stayed around my shoulders, and I rested my head on his shoulder.

I wanted to ask about Nadia. I wanted to know everything about him. But I loved the serene atmosphere and didn’t want to ruin it.

I put my glass down and entered the pool with one intention in my head.Show him the scar and let go of the fear.

“That’s not safe,” he said before I went under.

I sprang up with a smile.

I removed my top and threw it outside the pool. Tristan’s eyes feasted like a king as he stared at me, like his voice had vanished. As the wind whipped them, I covered my breasts.

I can do this.
