The guys from Alden’s shop stand at the edge of the water. It looks like they’re arguing over who is going in first. Alden spots Oliver and we head over to where he stands with Breanna.
“Ella,” Breanna says, glancing at Alden’s hand in mine. “I’m glad you came.” She leans over to give me a warm hug.
“It’s good to see you too.” Oliver and Alden wander a few feet away, talking while Breanna and I catch up.
“Are you and Alden together now?” she asks.
“Yes, we are.”
“Oliver didn’t tell me!” she exclaims, frowning at him from a distance.
“It just happened last night.”
“Oh, well, look at us with the two sexiest guys in town,” she says, as they approach us. “Every girl in our high school would hate us.”
“Don’t make their heads any bigger than they already are,” I laugh.
Alden scoffs and slings his arm around me. “I’m aware of my irresistible face and body.”
“I got the modest one.” Breanna sidles up to Oliver, but he barely pays attention.
“Are we doing this?”
Ignoring his curt response, she smiles. “I’m ready.” She follows Oliver toward the bank.
“What’s up Oliver’s ass?” I ask, stripping off my jeans and hoodie to get down to the tank top and shorts. The cold wind instantly throws goosebumps over my skin.
“Who knows?” Alden follows suit and we toss our clothes and towels on the tables provided. We check in with the sponsors to make sure we’re counted, then Alden takes my hand while we walk down to the water.
The water laps gently at the shore. Two steps in and I’m already regretting this. It feels like tiny needles on my skin. Alden must see the intention to retreat in my expression because he grabs me around my thighs and tosses me over his shoulder. “Oh no you don’t. Let’s make this easy. We’ll do it together.”
“Don’t you dare!” I shriek.
Laughter rings out around us as he charges into the water and dunks both of us completely under. It feels like someone hit my chest with a hammer. For a few seconds after we surface and he lets me go, I forget how to breathe.
“Hate…you,” I gasp, slapping at him.
He’s taking short gasping breaths too, but his smile is wide. He grabs me and pulls me close to him in the shoulder deep water. “Feeling refreshed?”
“My nipples could key a car!”
He plants a kiss on my quivering lips. “Come on, El. My dick is about an inch long and my balls have climbed up into my stomach but I’m not complaining.”
His dark hair hangs in his eyes, and I sweep it aside, then kiss him back. We’re freezing, and my skin has gone from feeling like it’s being scratched with a hundred knives to turning numb. The wind makes my ears feel like they could fall off. River rocks are like razors under my feet. None of that matters when his warm tongue slips between my lips, and I close my eyes, soaking in the moment.
I’ve never felt so aware of my body and what it can take. It’s a strange feeling, to suffer in such a controlled way. It makes me feel alive.
Shrieks and cries fill the air around us as people wade and dive in. We stay close together through all the splashing and celebrating. Despite the discomfort, I’m having fun.
Alden grins at me. “Ready to get out?”
“Definitely.”
Laughing, he takes my hand, and we start walking toward the shore. I lag behind, and he looks back at me. “Sorry, the rocks hurt my feet.”
He turns his back to me. “Piggyback ride?”
He doesn’t have to offer twice. I cling onto his back while he walks us out of the river and over to the tables. Oh, this is worse. The wind is worse.
