I glanced down and watched him, admiring his beauty as his eyes met mine. The corner of his mouth curled as he bit down, piercing me faintly. I gasped, my arms squeezing as my grip on the buoy tightened. He released my nipple as he dragged me down towards him, gripping my chin, the buoy dipping as he pulled me. He forced my mouth to his, kissing me fiercely, biting my lower lip hard enough to draw blood. I didn’t even flinch, enjoying the painful pleasure as the metallic taste mixed with our saliva.
The man’s hand slid from my chin to my neck, taking its time as it made its way down my naked body to my thigh, wrapping my legs around his waist. “Now would be the time to scream,” he breathed into me. Before he could finish his words,he thrusted his cock deep inside me, my cries filling my lungs as he immediately began to pound my body, holding nothing back. The water began to splash around us as we created our own waves, soaked in the sounds of both his grunting and my moaning. I didn’t try to hide how good he felt, vocalizing it, begging him not to stop. He only smiled, increasing his speed and vigor, fucking me better than anyone else had ever done before.
“Oh God.” I began to cry, feeling my body tightening once more, unable to fight the oncoming orgasm. “No, God no!”
“The only name I want to hear coming from your pretty little mouth right now,” he panted, “ismine.” I stared at him intensely, choking back my urges as I tried to prolong the moment.
“Tell me.” It hurt to hold in such pleasure, but I needed to know his name.
His smile grew as he pushed harder. “Reef.” He leaned forward, kissing and biting my skin between his words. “Now,say it.” My body crumbled, drowning me in pure elation, sparking as he bit my breast again, sending me over the edge. I cried out, inhaling sharply as I began to throb, struggling to clench around his rock-hard cock. “Say my name,” he growled, biting harder. “Say it!”
“Reef!” I screamed, coming hard, soaking him with my orgasm. “Don’t stop. Don’t stop, Reef. Fuck me harder.” I released one of my hands, gripping his neck, pulling him closer as I continued to come, my heart racing from the excitement. Reef did exactly as I asked, railing me harder than before, hard enough to bruise my bones, but I didn’t care. I wanted this feeling to never end, the overbearing desire burning my existence as I began to move with him, our chests now roughly slamming into one another. My body couldn’t stop, almostimmediately coming a second time, allowing him the lubrication to move easier within me.
“Oh fuck!” I cried out, aching from the overwhelming orgasm. My nails dug into his skin as I slowly began to pant, unable to control my breathing. Reef slowed his pace, still inside me as he held me. He stared at me, the waves crashing into us as they rocked the buoy. I struggled to catch my breath, unable to hide my happiness, smiling as I spoke to him. “Did you come?” I swallowed. “Cause I didn’t hear you.”
Reef smiled, chuckling to himself. “I don’t think it would’ve been possible for you to hear anything with how loud you were.” He brushed my hair from my face, gently stroking my cheek. “But no, I didn’t. Trust me, you’ll know when I climax.” Reef slowly removed himself from inside me, causing my body to jolt from the sensitivity.
My brows furrowed in confusion.How did he not come? Was I not enough for him? Did I not do it for him? How can he last this long, with me coming twice, and be able to remain so composed? What the hell?
“Hey.” He directed my attention back to him.
“What?” I asked, a little hurt by the idea that I wasn’t able to please him physically.
“You were amazing, but I like to taste my food before I eat it.” He winked, kissing me gently. My hand slipped as I embraced him, our bodies slipping beneath the water. His hands fell from my body, drifting out of reach. I tried to swim towards the surface, catching a glimpse of the buoy almost directly above me, when something brushed past my foot. I stopped, thinking it was Reef, when something suddenly bit the side of my torso, knocking me into the base of the buoy and I hit my head hard. The sound of the impact echoed in my ears as my eyes widened in fear, panicking as I noticed the blood running from my flesh. My head ached, a darkness beginning to seep in and slowly takeover my consciousness. I blinked, my vision fading as I watched something swim past me in the shadows. Something big.
I blinked again, recognizing the shape. It was a shark.
TWO
DELILAH
The sound of loud,crashing waves and seagulls screaming above startled me awake. I groaned, sand covering my face as my eyes strained to focus. It was bright, the overwhelming collision of sounds and smells hitting me all at once while the sun burned against my bare back. My side stung, and I winced at the salty water brushing along my torso, quickly reminding me that something had attacked me in the water.
I rotated my body, glancing at my stomach as my hand began to tremble, my eyes struggling to comprehend what I saw. My fingers shook as the tips felt along the many indentations pierced into my flesh. Blood lightly swirled into the water, the stingy warmth causing me to wince in pain as I gasped, realizing that the shark I saw last night had attacked me, leaving the giant bite mark imprinted into my side.
I quickly stood, glancing around to notice that the beach was completely empty.It must still be early. I looked around, spotting my belongings. I snatched them up and quickly dressed, careful as to not scratch the large wound. As I stumbled in the sand, I turned, looking back at the buoy bobbing in the distance, and remembered him.Reef. He had disappeared. Didthe shark attack him too? I rubbed my head, a small bump now formed from slamming into the base of the buoy.What the hell happened last night?
I tossedmy damp clothes aside, landing on the tile floor with a smack as sand scattered across the floor of the bathroom. Steam filled the tiny room, warming my skin as I stood, staring at the reflection of my body, examining the large shark bite in the bathroom mirror. The bleeding had stopped, as the bite mark wasn’t deep. The shark’s teeth had pierced my flesh, but there was no other damage, which was…odd.Why would a shark simply take a taste and leave?The thought instantly reminded me of what Reef said.
I shook my head and stepped into the shower, the hot water stinging the wound that stretched across my entire side as I began cleaning it carefully. As my hands skimmed along the many teeth marks, I reminisced of how it felt when Reef touched me, his hands gliding along my skin. I continued to shower, carefully washing my hair and body while tending to my new injury, my mind obsessed with the thoughts of Reef. He was mysterious, dominating, and sexy…this enigma of a man who appeared out of nowhere. I couldn’t help but wonder if he was a local, hoping I would get the chance to run into him again.
“There you are!”Cherri, my bombshell roommate, shot from her chair, rushing to me. She hugged me tight as I winced, causing her to step back. Her chocolate eyes looked me up and down, immediately noticing the fresh bite mark that stood out, obvious beneath my tied striped halter and bell bottom jeans. She gasped lightly, covering her mouth with her hand, the bracelets along her arms clanking together. “Delilah,” she breathed. “Did a shark attack you? Is that why you didn’t come home last night?”
I knew I wouldn’t be able to hide the mark, but I didn’t expect it to cause such concern. “Yeah, I went out swimming last night and woke up on the beach this morning with it.” I laughed anxiously. “Guess I wasn’t what it was craving.” I continued to try and laugh it off, nervous as she watched me, her warm irises glistening in the rays of the sunlight that peeked through the blinds from outside.
Cherri crossed her arms. “What were you doing at the beach, swimming so late at night?” She raised an eyebrow. “I thought we agreed on no more random hook ups, Delilah.”
I rolled my eyes, crossing my own arms. “Look, last night.” I stopped remembering the man I murdered. My spine straightened as I cleared my throat. “Last night was different. I know we agreed I would stop with the random hook ups, but…I think I met someone.” I tried to change the topic, moving from the corpse I left behind and referring to the man who fucked me like a god in the sea.
“Oh?” Her demeanor lightened. “You think? Well, spill. Who is it?”
My cheeks began to burn, giving away my feelings. “First, it’s a guy.” I giggled like a child.
“Really?” she poked, intrigued by what happened. “Well, what’s his name? Tell me all about him!”
“About who?” An older man in a sheriff’s uniform walked into the room, setting Cherri on edge as she immediately stiffened and returned to her desk and typewriter. She completely fell silent and began to type away, resuming her job. Cherri was a secretary at Golden Coast’s police station, the same station my dad, Chief Bailey, worked at.
“Hey, Dad,” I sighed, lowering my eyes as he glanced between the two of us.
