“Where?” He took a sip of his drink, his hand shaking ever so slightly.

“Lots of places. The office at the bar. The storage room. The walk-in fridge. The beach. A changing room once.” She smiled.

“Was that it? I just touched you?”

She shook her head. “No, you fucked me.” Sometimes with his mouth, other times with his hands, or that perfect thick cock.

His grip squeezed the glass bottle so tight she thought it might crack.

“Other times, I’d touch you.”

“Here you are,” Daniel said, setting their plates in front of them.

Finn jumped at the intrusion and then turned to look at the sun as it slipped behind the line of the ocean. His chest rose and fell rapidly as he drained what was left of his beer.

Heat blanketed her skin, rising up her neck and burning her cheeks at the sight of her husband coming so undone by her explicit confessions. She wanted more than anything to run her foot up his leg, past his thigh, and press against what she was sure was a hard dick and tease him.

“Thank you,” Charli said to the server instead, sounding a lot calmer than she felt.

“Can I get you another beer, sir?” Daniel asked.

“I’ll have some hot cider now.”

They tucked into their food as the stars sparkled above them, the moon shining over the dark water. The salty breeze swept over them from time to time. The conversation switched to lighter topics, catching up on people from their past. She told him stories of fun times they’d shared. By the time dessert was brought out, her face hurt from smiling so much.

“Ready to go?” Finn asked as the server cleared their plates and returned Finn’s credit card.

“Yeah.” She slipped her coat over her shoulders and took the hand Finn offered to help her from her seat. He didn’t let her go after that, and her belly flipped. Hope squeezed her chest tight. Happiness bubbled up. After his aloofness and cold demeanor this past week, this moment seemed like she’d hit the jackpot. Maybe her Finn was coming back to her after all.

She walked by his side to the car as he opened her door. She turned around to face him, his chiseled jaw more prominent in the moon and shadows now that he’d shaved. “Finn?”

“Yeah?” His breath tickled against her lips, smelling of sweet apple and cinnamon.

“Thank you for tonight. I had a really good time.” She stood up on her tiptoes and melded her mouth to his. Finn’s soft lips tensed. She moved away, but then his palm gripped the back of her head, pulling her towards him. He kissed her back, much like the first kiss they’d shared—it was sweet and innocent. Still, it turned the flame inside her to an all-out blaze. She ached for him. And if the pressure against her belly was any indication, he wanted her too. But she wouldn’t push him. Not tonight. Not after he’d given her this amazing gift. It had been months since he’d had his hands or mouth on her like this. She’d savor it.

Finn backed away, his expression full of manly desire and boyish surprise.

She smiled. Maybe things were going to work out for them sooner than she’d thought.

Finn

Finn took another sip of his beer as he clicked play on a video on the laptop. Charli’s whole face lit up as she smiled and laughed. Finn’s chuckle overlapped hers in the recording.

“What are you doing?” Charli asked him.

He zoomed in on her freckles and then back out. “Just looking at the most beautiful woman I’ve ever laid eyes on,” Finn answered her.

Her eyes glittered with happiness, joy overflowing. She was breathtaking. There was not a trace of the pain and hesitation he’d become accustomed to in her eyes.

“Boy, is that a line if I ever heard one.” She snorted.

“Not a line. Just the truth.”

“You trying to get laid, soldier?” she teased, her eyes darkening.

He growled. The camera turned to the blue sky with bits of green grass poking up at the edges.
