Her chest rises and falls as she inhales a deep breath. I’m positive she wants what I want, she’s just too scared to admit it. That kiss on her porch last week was the kind of kiss some people wait their whole lives for.
When she cranes her neck to look back at me, my hands instinctively move to her waist and I carefully turn her around on my board to face me, my hands moving to her hips. She’s now straddling the board facing me, her eyes on my mouth, her bottom lip caught beneath her teeth.
“Gray—”
Before she has time to finish the sentence, I lean forward and seal my lips to hers. My body melts into hers and the lump in my throat dissolves.
She opens for me, allowing my tongue to sweep inside. Her lips are cool from the ocean air and the kiss tastes like salt. I’m drunk on the taste of her, almost forgetting that we’re balancing on a paddle board. When the board teeters from side to side, we both laugh quietly into the kiss, smiling against each other’s mouths. I grip the edges of the SUP with my thighs while I plant both of my hands flat on the surface between us to keep us from flipping.
But it doesn’t stop us from taking the kiss further. I take control, deepening the kiss, and when a soft whimper escapes her throat, I groan, my cock so painfully hard that not even the cold water around us can settle it down.
When the board rocks a little more, her hands fly to where mine are placed between us, covering them without breaking the kiss. It’s sensual, hot—it feels like everything I’ve ever needed and not close to being enough all at the same time. The kiss is me showing Sierra how much I fucking want her. How much I need her.
When we both come up for air, she looks towards Haven Harbor.
“We’re too far out. Nobody can see us,” I say, reading her mind. “It’s okay. I promise, Sierra.”
She shifts her gaze to me, and I can’t stop myself from leaning towards her, kissing her forehead. I allow my lips to linger there for a moment before pulling back and when I do, my stomach twists at the sight of her. Her eyes are glossed over.
“You were right, Gray,” she murmurs.
“Right about what?” I ask, her hands still resting on top of mine.
Her eyes dip down to our hands before shifting back to meet mine, her lip trapped again under her teeth as if she’s deep in thought. “I think about Miami too. All the time.”
Her confession is enough to knock the wind out of me. God, just thinking of Sierra remembering our night together in her mind—and often— makes my pulse beat double time under my skin.
“What we did in Miami was so hot.”
She blushes. “And it probably shouldn’t happen again.”
Even now, two years later, I remember how good it felt to have her pushed up against the wall, how she allowed me to take control and how I ached everywhere when I pushed myself inside of her.
“Fuck yeah, it should,” I say, flipping my palms over to interlace her fingers with mine. “Do you remember how good my dick felt inside of you? How good it felt when I fucked you on that desk?”
“Grayson… I…” she breathes, shuddering at my words. “I remember every single thing about that night. How could I ever forget? And that’s the problem—”
“How can that be a problem? I don’t understand what you’re saying, Sierra.”
“What if this is more than just one night? What if it isn’t enough? What if I want more?”
“Then I’ll give you more, sunshine girl. I’ll give you whatever you want.”
My heart rate speeds up, chest aching as I take a moment to soak Sierra in. I take her face in my hands, leaning in closer to her, my lips hovering over hers. Her lips part as my hand moves up to the spot behind her ear. The soft brush of my fingertips sends a shiver over her skin.
Her eyes close and I inhale a long, deep breath, gathering up strength.
“Gray,” she murmurs. “My brother is your best friend. Neither of us want a relationship. This is a terrible idea. It’s a disaster waiting to happen.”
“Or it’s the best fucking decision we’ll both ever make.” My thumb draws a line over the edge of her jaw. “I know you want me as bad as I want you. Having sex with you was fucking amazing.”
“Gray?” she breathes, the sound of my name thick with need.
“Yeah, sunshine? What do you want?”
She is all I’ve wanted for weeks now.
She leans forward to kiss me and my tongue sweeps into her mouth to taste her. I savor this perfect moment—the two of us out on the ocean under the jet-black sky. She breaks the kiss. We both exhale before she leans back to look me in the eyes.
