Chapter 13

Luke

I can feelthe change even as I see it.

Her body softens, her lids lower, and she leans into me.

I close my eyes too as my mouth finds hers.

Our first kiss.

Standing in the ocean, with the sun beating down on top of us.

She’s so warm and so soft. So comfortable in my arms.

So calming.

I tighten my arms around her and slide one hand down until I’m gripping her ass.

That goddamn ass.

And then she does it.

Her arms go around my neck, holding me tight, as she lifts her legs and wraps them around my waist, pressing her warm core against my already throbbing dick.

I almost lose my footing. Almost send us into the depths.

I pull her tighter against me, my grip on her ass potentially bruising the soft skin.

But she doesn’t flinch.

She does the opposite.

She tilts her hips.

The movement increases the pressure between us.

We both moan.

Natalie opens her lips for me, and I tilt my head as I slide my tongue into her mouth.

She meets me, her tongue seeking mine.

We both taste like seawater.

But I don’t want to spit out the salty flavor.

I want to consume it.

And I want her to swallow it.

I want her to take me.

Fingernails scrape up the back of my head.

“Fuck,” I groan against her mouth.

“Not in the water,” she pants.

And it takes me a second.

Just a second.

Then I picture it. Dragging her out of the water onto the sand. Ripping that suit off her. Claiming her.

I tip my head back and groan. “Christ, Green Eyes, are you trying to embarrass me?”

I’m so close to coming in my shorts that it’s not even funny.

Clearly knowing what I’m referring to, Natalie’s body vibrates with a silent laugh.

I flex my fingers against her flesh as I lower my gaze back down to meet hers. “You laughing at me, Princess?”

She widens her eyes. “Me? Never.”

Her thighs flex against my sides, and I want to do more.

I want to ask her to dinner.

Want to walk her right back to my room and barricade the door so I can ravish her body.

But… I’ve always been more of a pest than a romantic.

I let my knees give way and drop us both below the surface.
