Drew hopped into the bed of the truck and held out a hand to me. I stood below him, staring up, where the moon behind me showed me the soft smile that was on Drew’s face and the way his eyes were looking at me, rather than my body this time.
There was something different in the way he was acting, and unlike before when I thought Drew was playing a game with no strings, I realized in the second I placed my hand in his and he helped me into the truck, that it wasn’t a game, but a process. He was guarding himself, as much as I wanted to guard myself.
His hands fell to my waist, and his fingers twitched against the fabric of my shorts, before he pulled me down to sit beside him on a large blanket.
“I was thinking we could snack, pop open the wine in that basket, and watch the waves.”
I looked at Drew and thought for a second as to where the man was earlier who caged me into the bar and demanded a kiss from me when his lips touched mine. That man I could have made sure never broke my heart, but this man who was in front of me now, he could break me in two with just the look of his headlights leaving me behind.
“What kind of wine did you get?” I broke the trance between us and reached into the basket that was beside me and pulled out a twist top rose and a pack of cheddar cheese. I let out a laugh as I raised the bottle and the cheese to him. “This is your idea of cheese and wine?”
He snatched the bottle of rose out of my hand and twisted it open, taking a drink from the bottle.
“It’s actually not bad wine, and everyone loves cheese.”
I shrugged and opened the cheese, not being able to argue with that logic. By myself I could eat a chunk of cheese for just lunch. I grabbed next for the bottle of wine, placing it to my lips, letting the alcohol linger in my mouth before swallowing it. The soft burn of the cheap wine held in my chest as my eyes met Drew’s. He had a hand placed between us, hovering just above my leg.
I looked down at it and back at him. A fire was blazing in his eyes as he adjusted how he was sitting, so that his legs were on either side of me and I was placed with my back to his chest.
The waves in front of us were crashing against the empty beach and the way the stars shone down made it feel like we weren’t so close to the city. You could see every little speckle in the sky and the moon shining bright in the distance. Each wave came rumbling in and then fading out with soft swishes and it became a rhythm that Drew and I swayed to as we passed back and forth the wine bottle, leaving the cheese off to the side with only a few bites taken.
We weren’t just getting drunk on the alcohol, but with just the presence of us both being in this same spot. The ocean being our pendulum of time that refused to pass at a normal speed. It felt like we had been there for just moments, not the three hours that my phone was now telling me as I looked down at it.
I shifted in Drew’s arms, but they tightened around me as I placed the now empty wine bottle beside us. His lips came down, grazing across my temple. The move was gentle and again I thought back to the man I met earlier, who was all dominance. It wasn’t like I didn’t like this version of Drew, but I had to wonder what had made him change characteristics so quickly.
Leaning back into him, I let out a sigh, relaxing into his hold, like I never wanted to leave it. With my movement, though, I could feel where that man from before had gone, and that was directly to his cock. He was being a complete gentleman, but I could feel the other side of Drew growing against my ass. I tried to wiggle against him, but his arm tightened around me, holding me in place.
His free hand moved to rest against my thigh, rubbing circles numbingly into the same spot, and when he moved up just a fraction of an inch, I lost it. I moved myself, straddling his lap and placing both of my hands against his chest.
His eyes looked as heavy as mine felt.
Both of his hands moved to my ass, moving my hips and placing me right over his cock. His fingers dug into the plump flesh and I moved my arms to his neck, bringing his face closer to mine. The way his lips parted with just a sliver of an opening, I knew I had him where I wanted him. We were lost in a moment of lust and alcohol, and I didn’t think either of us cared where the night ended, as long as we could stay in this moment.
My lips hovered over his, his fingers flexing against my ass, and then I took it. I took Drew’s kiss, just like he had done at the bar. But he didn’t let me have it for long, because where I took his kiss and gave it back, Drew had no intentions to ever give me back.
The control I had seen in Drew for the past few hours had finally snapped and it was all because of me.
“I’m trying to be a gentleman.” Drew’s voice came out in a gruff tone that made it sound like he was out of breath and turned on.
“I don’t need a gentleman.” I pulled away from him, but only enough space to look him in the eye and then take his bottom lip between my teeth. I let it pop out from between them and a hiss escaped Drew. “I need you.”
His arm wrapped around my waist and held me down against his cock, where our chests were pressed together, but he wouldn’t let our lips touch. Well, not until he started to move my hips, in a slow and agonizing back and forth motion. A small gasp fell from my lips when he grazed over my clit. Even though it was covered with shorts, the nub was more sensitive than I had ever felt before and I wanted to find my release.
But I never got the chance, because with my gasp, Drew pulled me off his lap and laid us both down on the blanket he laid out. His arm hooked around my waist and pulled me toward him, so we were spooning out in the darkness of the night.
Even though Drew had put a stop to our progression of the night, I knew that before we left this weekend, I would give it all to him. Every touch, every kiss, every whisper that would fall from my lips and his. Even my virginity.
At home, I had blackout curtains over my windows, so the sun wouldn’t wake me up. But this morning, I didn’t have that kind of luxury, so when the first glimpse of sunrise hit my eyes, my body was fully awake and aware of just where I was.
And that was still wrapped in Drew’s arms in the back of his pickup truck.
I rolled over to see that Drew had been awakened too and without even a word of good morning, he took my hand and pulled me from the truck, putting me back in the cab and preparing us to go back to where I assumed was the bed-and-breakfast I was staying at. He held my hand the entire five-minute drive back, rubbing small circles on the delicate skin between my thumb and index finger. The same numbing sensation came back and it brought back memories of last night. My lips on Drew’s, his hands on my ass. I closed my legs together tight, trying to rub them together and feel some sort of friction again.
My thoughts stayed on the feeling of Drew, even when he was pulling me from his truck and walking me to the front door of the bed-and-breakfast. I could tell it was still early enough that the girls wouldn’t be awake yet, but I knew the longer I stood there with Drew, the more I’d want to spend every second with him.
“I have a few things to tie up with my sale from yesterday, but I’ll be back later to pick you up.” Drew stepped into my space, his hand leaving mine, coming to rest on my hip, and pulling me flush against his body.
“Just like yesterday, I have no idea what our plans are for today.”
