Shifting her hips, she attempted to get closer to my mouth before finally giving up with a sigh. “Fine. I love that people greet me by name at the store.”
Rewarding her for playing the game, I grinned and swiped a long line through her slit, licking her from her entrance to her clit before sucking it into my mouth.
She moaned, and the sound shot straight to my cock, making my already hard length throb.
I pulled back and blew a gust of air across her clit. “Keep going.”
“Right. Sorry. Um… I love Mabel’s Lives…usually.”
She arched into me as I swirled my tongue around her clit, then sagged back on the chair with a huff when I pulled away. With a groan, she said, “What do I need to do to keep your mouth on me?”
“Just keep talking, baby.”
“Oh God. Okay, I love that I don’t have to lock my doors…and that I can walk on the beach at midnight…and that everyone here takes care of each other.”
With each item she listed, her words got a little breathier, her sentences coming out choppy as I did as I promised and kept my mouth on her pussy. I rolled my tongue against her, sucked her clit, and slipped two fingers inside her, all while she rocked her hips against my face, seeking her pleasure.
“Fuck, you’re dripping down my fingers, sunshine. You needed my mouth, didn’t you?”
“Yes,” she breathed, tightening her fingers in my hair as she stared down at me with hooded eyes.
“You forgot something on your list.”
“What?”
“I’m here to eat this sweet cunt when you have a bad day and make you come hard enough to gush all over my tongue.”
“Oh my God, Beck.Please.”
Glancing up at her from between her legs, I scraped my bottom teeth over her clit, and a shudder racked her body. “Tell me.”
“You know you’re the best part of Starlight Cove. Myfavoritepart.”
I hummed against her, those words filling my chest in a way that nothing else had. I was so fucking gone for this girl, and there was no way I was losing her after I’d just gotten her. So I’d give her what she needed. I’d make her come hard against my mouth before taking her to bed and reminding her why we were so perfect together.
And then I’d figure out what the fuck I needed to do to make sure she stayed in Starlight Cove, right where she belonged.
CHAPTERTWENTY-TWO
BECK
“Call it twintuition,but it feels like this attitude you have going on is about more than just dear old Dad,” Ford said as we walked back from completing our weekly delivery service.
“What gave it away?” I asked dryly.
“Oh, I don’t know. Maybe it was when you kicked that puppy.”
I rolled my eyes at his dramatics, but he wasn’t far off. The irony was, it felt likemypuppy had been kicked. It’d only been two days since my talk with Everly, and maybe she would eventually settle into this new rhythm, but I didn’t want to wait for that to happen. Icouldn’twait. I’d spent nearly the entirety of our relationship waiting, and I didn’t want to go back to that place anymore.
I’d finally gotten to where I wasn’t always anticipating the other shoe falling, and I…enjoyed it. I’d been happy in my life for the first time in a long time, and it killed me that instead of mirroring my outlook, Everly had been feeling lost.
“Everly’s thinking about moving back to Washington.”
Ford jerked to a stop in the middle of the winding road that led through the resort. “What the fuck? Since when?”
I took off my hat and scrubbed a hand through my hair before settling the cap back on my head. “I don’t know how long she’s been thinking about it. She just told me on Monday.”
“What happened on Monday?”
