Speechless, I stare into his heavenly eyes.
Here’s a man I barely know, yet, I’ve never felt more seen. Every ugly, scared part I’ve been hiding feels exposed, yet he looks at me like he’s not afraid. Like I’m not someone playing pretend, hiding behind a life I never chose.
How dare he make me feel so unmasked? I should walk away. I should swim back to shore. Yet at this moment, I don’t know if I hate him or need him. All I know is I have tohavehim.
Before I can think any further, I clasp my hand around his neck, draw him in, and press my lips to the ones I’ve been dying for since we got here.

Noah
I fucking knew it!
I knew there was more to Brad just below the surface just waiting to get out. It’s like my Spidey senses were tingling or something. Speaking of tingling, that’s what all the nerves in my body are doing as his lips engulf mine. I feel his subtle licks against my lip piercing as if he’s still in denial about wanting it.
I push up against him, lock my legs around his waist, and hold on tight.He’s not going anywhere.
As soon as he opens his mouth a sliver more, I give him what he really wants. Slipping my tongue inside, brushing it against his own, a low grunt emerges from him, making me feel a rush of pride.
“Noah,” he gasps, but dives in once again for more. He’s battling with himself, but I don’t want him to. I want him to let go. To enjoy this. I can feel him walking us back to shore, but I stay attached to him. I know the second I let go, it’ll leave room for him to overthink again. He'll close back up, push me away.
Not a fucking chance.
I’m liking this way too much.
Brad’s a fantastic kisser. The way his hard hands grip my waist as he holds on tight.
I wasn’t joking about what I said before. I know he was having a sex dream about me. I might’ve been sleeping at first but I woke up as soon as I felt his hard dick press in between my cheeks. The way he grinded against me, his hips moving back and forth. That answer became very clear the moment my name escaped his lips.
I want it so fucking bad, Noah,he had moaned into my ear. I heard it while he grinded in his sleep. He can fight it all he wants, but there’s no denying it.
There’s no denyingthis.
Finally out of the water, he lowers us down on the sandbank where we took off our shoes. Sand and grass digs into my back as his broad arms crowd me in. Cool water from his hair drips down the side of my face as he hurriedly nips at my bottom lip, my jaw, down to my neck, and back again. It’s like he doesn’t know where he wants to kiss more.
His hands roam my chest, pinching my pierced nipples just enough to make me moan.
He’scurious. I can feel it.
Well, I’m curious too. I move my hands from around his neck and trail them down his back. I squeeze his cheeks in a rough grasp and pull him into my groin.
“Holy shit, what the fuck—” he inhales sharply, like me grabbing his ass just woke him up into reality. He threads his fingers through his hair.
He rolls off me to create some distance.
“You okay?” I pant, sitting up. That was a lot.
“I…” He rubs his hand over his mouth, like he can’t believe where his lips just were.
“Okay, your ass is a no-go zone. Got it.” I huff out a laugh. I bite my bottom lip and watch as his eyes connect with it again.
“We shouldn’t… Noah, this isn’t right.” He drops his head, rubbing his palm into his eyes.
Something tells me he’s not freaking out because of my mom. He’s freaking out because, whether he wants to admit it or not, he’s into this.
Deciding to test this theory, I sigh deeply.
“What a waste,” I say sadly, standing up and dusting myself off. “Just when you were becoming interesting—”
