I walked behind the dunes, watching and waiting to see if I needed to intervene.
“Do you want me to wait here?” he asked respectfully. “I’ll give you some privacy.”
Emma chuckled. “Nope, no privacy needed,” she retorted. “Can you wait right here, right here?” She said it twice for emphasis as she pointed to the spot in front of the stall before stepping in to relieve herself.
“Of course,” he replied, standing there waiting for her. I heard the stall door close. Then I saw them coming my way,but before they got to the sand dune to cut back to their friends, I saw him stop and face her, bringing her into him. He placed both hands on her cheeks, staring down at her. I couldn’t see his eyes, but I could feel the desire he felt for her radiating off in waves.
I swallowed in anticipation of what she’d do. I couldn’t help but feel a longing. I saw myself there with him. I envisioned him gazing down at me. I felt his hands on my cheeks, and he watched me with the same longing desire, but this time for me, burning me up inside. My clit pulsed, and I saw him pick her up. Her legs wrapped around him. I sucked in a breath, begging for them to silently stop. I wanted to throw up.
One arm went to grab her ass, holding her up, and my face turned red. The other arm reached across her back, and he looked intently at her as if he saw no one else.
Has anyone ever looked at me that way?
I felt it when their lips touched, and I touched my lips as they tingled from the sensation that mocked me. He deepened the kiss, kissing her passionately. I watched them through blurred vision. Wetness coated my eyelashes, and I’ve never wanted anything so bad. The ache in my heart widened as the need for this man took hold of my heart and squeezed it painfully—a reminder that I couldn’t have him. Their kiss ended as fast as it started, and he stared at her in confusion.
He dropped her legs from his embrace, and Emma righted herself. She looked around, then back at him awkwardly. “Um,” I heard her say. “We should get back. They will wonder where we went soon.”
He nodded and held her stare as she looked anywhere but at him. “Sure,” he said, rubbing his hand at the back of his neck. I’m sure he wondered what the fuck just happened.
“Me, too,” I said aloud to no one in particular. Just then, I felt a hand on my shoulder. I stiffened. “Pfft, took you longenough, asshole.” I didn’t have to look around to know that Mateo had seen me staring at this guy. I watched them walk away, and before I could give Mateo hell for fucking someone in the van, we heard a scream.
“Help! Someone help!” Mateo and I followed Emma, who ran alongside Jameson, to where a large crowd had gathered.
The sound of my phone interrupts my intrusive thoughts. I lie there staring at the ceiling. I got tired of waiting for a response, but then I thought maybe he hadn’t seen the message yet.
I hesitate to pick up my phone. A series of questions float through my mind. What if he doesn’t want to see me? What if he is already dating someone from the app? What if I didn’t really matter to him, and he is this way with everyone? What if I’m not that special?
I pick up my phone and hover over the little pinkish square of the dating app. I see a message from Jameson and let out a breath before opening it.
Jameson
Sure. Coffee?
I look at the cuteness of the place he wants to meet. Unfortunately, I can’t meet him for coffee. Maybe not ever.
Eve
I have a better idea. I’ll come to you.
His reply is instant, and his confusion is apparent. I smile, thinking about how that night will go.
Jameson
What? When?
I hover over the text and type out a reply before I can second-guess myself.
Eve
I’ll come to you—your place. I’ll be in touch soon.
I’m about to click out of the app before another message with his address comes through. I can’t help the laugh that escapes me now.
“Cute, he thinks I don’t know where he lives.” I shake my head at his innocence and feel like I have something to look forward to for the first time in forever.
I get under the covers. This time sleep comes the easiest it has in a very long time, and I dream of Jameson smiling up at me as I come undone, riding his thick cock.
