Love. The word hangs between us.

“More.” I grab at him. “Please. I—I want you closer.”

A drop of his sweat falls on my skin, ripping at something primal and potent inside me. We’re a tussle of heated limbs and insistent moans until our eyes mirror a look of scorching desire.

“I’m doing my best, love, but I—” Nico’s darkened gaze beneath the glimmer of moonlight rumbles another ache in my chest. “Fucking you like this, feeling your tight pussy around my cock, you—you’re too perfect.”

“You’re the best I’ve ever had.”

We exchange breaths like two souls talking in our own made-up language. In a few blissful moments, the climb of our release crescendos together.

“I’m yours, Lily.” Nico forces a vicious thrust into me, knotting the nerves in my body together in a way that only he knows how to pull apart. “And you’re mine.”

“I am, Nico.” I moan in a torturous sob. “Always.”

The promise and the lie are enough to flood pleasure through us both. The release avalanches over my cries and Nico’s growl of rapture. A hot shot of his cum fills every inch of me to the brim. I convulse around the throbbing inside me.

“There’s never going to be anyone else but you.” Nico collapses on top of me. A soft press of his lips against the damp skin of my cheek.

There’s never going to be anyone else like you,either.

Nico

“This was a mistake.”Lily huffs behind me. “Can you please slow down?”

“We’re so close.” I pause long enough for Lily to catch up to me and then she lets me pull her down the path leading toward the Adonis Baths Waterfalls. Her hand in mine feels like second nature.

“Don’t rich people just helicopter themselves to wherever they need to go?” She releases her fingers from mine and rests both palms on her knees, bending over to catch her breath. Her braids snake down her back as sweat beads over her forehead.

We may have seen a lot of beauty around the world this summer, but nothing holds a candle to Lily.

“Maybe next time,” I say, knowing all too well that after last night, Lily’s started to pull away.

She fell asleep in my arms, and while her soft breath warmed my chest, I stared at the sky, waiting for a star to fall so I could make another wish to go with the one I made at the beginning of summer.

Cut Lily some slack.

Selfishly, I wanted to ask for her to have another moment with me. A lifetime of them.

“At least there’s no one here.” She stumbles over a steep rock, grabbing my shoulder for balance.

“Right? Yesterday was awful. People really go feral over a rock.”

We took a trip to Aphrodite’s birthplace, partially for sightseeing and partly because some local legend claims that if you swim around the giant boulder three times, you’ll find true love.

“I don’t blame them.” Lily wipes the sweat off her brow and looks back at me. “Besides, you were lapping the rock so many times, I was sure your arms were going to fall off.”

“You don’t want to mess with the mythical healing powers.”There’s got to be a picture of me next to the wordfoolishin the dictionary.

“True.” She nods. “I stayed in that water for an hour. My skin better be flawless for the rest of eternity. But something about Aphrodite being born from Uranus’s severed ballsack makes me wonder if I’ll wrinkle instead.”?

“Lots of judgment coming from a woman who puts snail gunk on her face.”

“It’s hydrating,” she says defensively and swats me.

We walk through the final clutch of foliage, then stand speechless at the beautiful view. A pool of turquoise sits beneath a quiet waterfall. Trees and shrubbery wind over the edges of the rocky cliffs, and the sun dances along the leaves.
