When the water gets deep enough, I carefully lower her back down, her bare body sliding slowly against mine underwater, hands landing on my chest to steady herself once her feet touch the ocean floor again.
“I missed you,” I admit quietly. “During my leave, I had to keep turning my phone off to stop myself from texting or calling you first.”
“Yeah?” she whispers.
I nod once, heart pounding.
Kairi’s fingers curl slightly against my chest. “I felt the same, but I wanted to give you time to focus on your family” she continues softly. “While I focused on the brand collab stuff.”
I brush wet curls back from her face carefully. “How’d that go? Griffin mentioned that Gabriel was able to find the perfect brand to take the idea on.”
She smiles slowly. “Really good, actually…I almost called you after the meeting today.”
I laugh quietly under my breath. “Good thing you didn’t.”
“Why?”
“I would’ve cancelled on the boys and driven straight to you if I’d heard your voice.”
She smiles at that and we drift deeper into the water slowly while we talk, touching constantly without thinking about it. My hand keeps finding her waist. Hers keeps sliding over my shoulders whenever waves push her closer.
Eventually the ocean floor disappears beneath her feet entirely and Kairi lets out a surprised laugh before jumping up and wrapping herself around me. Her legs hook around my waist while her arms slide around my neck, pressing her naked body fully against mine.
Every muscle in my body tightens in response.
“Kinda deep out here,” she murmurs, raising her mouth closer to mine.
“A little bit,” I whisper, right as she kisses me.
The kiss is gentle in a way that somehow wrecks me more than anything else ever could because it’s not for pretend this time, not that it ever really was for me, but there’s no fake dating or lessons behind the reason for this kiss. No, this is real. Every unsaid feeling between us pours into this kiss while waves gently rock around our bodies.
I savor every second of it. The taste of saltwater and her lips; the way her fingers tighten in my hair; the quiet sound she makes when I kiss her deeper. But eventually the kiss starts changing into something hotter, and more dangerous. And I already know there’s no chance in hell I’m walking away from her tonight pretending I still have self control.
“Colton,” she whispers.
The sound is so needy, and so raw that I immediately carry her back toward shore, never fully breaking the kiss as waves crash around my legs. She laughs softly against my mouth when I stumble through the sand, but her fingers stay tangled tightly in my hair the entire time.
When we reach the beach, I lower her carefully onto the pile of our discarded clothes, and as she pulls me back down to her, kissing me like she’s finally done being afraid, every thought in my head disappears except one—she’s finally mine.
“I need you,” she moans, grinding herself against my thigh.
I reach between her legs, her skin cold where I touch, and start rubbing slow circles.
“I thought about your tight pussy every single night,” I admit, pulling away from our kiss slightly to look into her beautiful eyes.
“Yeah?” she says in a moan. “What were you thinking of doing to it?”
My eyebrows lift in surprise because Kairi has never, ever asked me anything like that before. She bites her bottom lip, the corners of her mouth rising in a playful smile, and my insides turn to mush at the sight of it.
I slide my fingers through her slits, watching as her eyes flutter shut. “I thought about fingering you, until you came, then licking you clean.”
Her lips part, and I already feel her wetness seeping out.
“What else?”
“I thought about fucking you with my tongue util you couldn’t take it anymore.”
“Mmm, is that all?”
