I can feel the dangerous hum of the engine travel through my body as I relax into the cool leather seat. I feel powerful especially with Hudson by my side and it’s such a great feeling.
Hudson places his palm against my thigh like it’s our new casual thing to do before turning to me. “Call me sir again and I’ll be forced to discipline you.”
“So kinky,” I tease and his fingers dig into my skin that arouses a low moan from my lips.
Hudson grins, but his dark green eyes are dead serious. “You have no idea.”
What his words entail, only makes my face burn with heat and my heart races as I think of him potentially restraining me.
I take a deep breath as we leave theSaylor-Tyne Estateand head into town. It’s a warm day out with the wind blowing wildly through my hair as Hudson picks up speed.
The sky above is a bright baby blue all across with white streaks of clouds painted across the surface, promising a perfect day ahead.
Hampton Bays might be glamorous, but it’s so refreshing to be out of the bustling city and in the small Hamlet, where people are relaxed and carefree.
Unlike the fast-paced life in Manhattan, young couples sporting their latest Spring apparel are out, strolling the town hand in hand with their Golden Retrievers and pugs by their sides.
And for a moment, I think about how perfect it would be to just leave everything behind and live here with someone you love and just spend the rest of your life here. With the addition of a cute cat, of course.
I look over at Hudson, wondering if that would ever be possible with him, but I can’t really answer that. He’s too unpredictable and I wouldn’t expect him for a second to actually leave everything behind to settle down. It’s just not the way he works.
Hudson looks over at me and smiles, so I smile back. “You want to go for breakfast?”
“Sure,” I say.
We head over toThe Hamletwhich is a small cafe with dark wooden decor and delicious views of the crystal blue ocean ahead. The smell of the salty ocean and the strong brew of morning coffee that licks my throat is heavenly.
We order several things including huge blueberry muffins and fluffy waffles with stewed strawberries and hazelnut fraps before taking a seat on the deck of the cafe.
I realise I’m starving as I take a good bite out of the mouthwatering soft blueberry muffin. It’s so soft and sweet and momentarily reminds me of the ones my Aunt Paula makes every Thanksgiving.
“Hey, how adventurous are you?” Hudson asks, after a while as he looks out at the brilliant blue ocean.
“Well, it depends,” I say. “What do you have in mind?”
“Let’s go paddleboarding. I know this one really cool cove near here. It’s awesome,” he says as he sips his hazelnut frap.
“I haven’t done that before,” I tell him. “I’d love to try it out.”
“Cool.”
After we’re done atThe Hamletwe head over to a paddleboard shop
where we get two new paddleboards before going back to the roadster.
The beach that we’re going to isn’t far very far from the cafe. It’s a short five-minute drive to Hampton Bay Beach.
When Hudson turns off the car in the parking lot, I climb out and breathe in the cool salty breeze. There’s a mountain of sand and a little pathway created with an old chipped wooden fence that leads down to the beach.
From where I stand, I can only see a few people on the beach. It’s relatively quiet for a Sunday.
Hudson and I grab our boards before heading down the pathway. The glorious sun beats down on us as we get past the wooden post and I follow Hudson’s lead as we walk further down the beach.
Shiny, white sand stretches out for miles and just when it seems like our hike will never end, a little cove with a dark mouth as the tunnel comes into view.
And as we walk closer, the sounds of the roaring waves crashing against the shore get louder and it doesn’t look so dark after all.
“For a first-timer, you can either sit upright with your legs on either side of your board or you can lie flat,” Hudson says, as he places his board on the sand. “That works too.”
