She’s quiet for a long time, but what she says next leaves me speechless.

“I bet they all miss you. Especially him,” she murmurs, staring up at the sky. “He’s probably just too proud to admit it.”

In all the years that I haven’t spoken to my father, I never once thought he was missing me. Even now, it’s hard to wrap my brain around the idea that Kairi could be right.

“What about you?” I ask, itching to change the topic. “What would you wish for?”

She taps her chin, deep in thought. “I think I’d wish for surfing to feel more inclusive,” she finally says. “It would be nice to not feel out of place while doing my job once in a while.”

“I think you’re fully capable of making that happen, Kairi,” I say, turning my head to look at her. “With or without a wish.”

Her eyes find mine and the air between us becomes charged. I don’t think I can be strong anymore. I don’t think I can stay away from Kairi no matter how hard I try.

“I want to apologize in advance,” I whisper.

Her eyes bounce between mine. “Apologize for what?”

I prop myself up, putting all my weight on one arm as I slide my hand behind her head and pull her closer.

“For breaking one of our rules.”

Our lips collide and the tension I felt from talking about my family melts away. Her lips are cushiony soft, and they work with mine perfectly as our kiss deepens, tongues gently swirling each other.

Kairi’s hands wrap around the back of my neck and she gently pulls me closer, our bodies pressing against each other. I slowly run my hand down her collar bone, stopping where her nipple pebbles beneath the fabric of her dress, revelling in her gentle moans as I rub circles over it.

She lets go of me with one hand and grabs hold of my wrist, guiding me lower and slipping my hand under her dress. I reach up to stroke the fabric of her panties feeling how damp they already are.

“Look at you already so eager for me,” I say in a low voice.

Kairi tries to cover her face in embarrassment but I stop her hand, pulling it away as I return to kissing her. When her hand goes limp in mine, I release it and slide back under her dress, pushing her panties to the side and rubbing slow and gentle circles over her clit until she’s wet enough for me to insert a finger into.

She groans, pulling away from my kiss to throw her head back. I use the opening to kiss her neck, nibbling on the sensitive spot that pulls another moan out of her.

“You can be as loud as you want, baby,” I say against her skin. “We’re the only ones here and the second movie is about to start.”

She moans again, only slightly louder this time and I huff out a laugh before pressing a kiss to her neck.

“You can do better than that, darlin’,” I say as I slide a second finger into her. “Let me hear you.”

“Colton,” she gasps, grabbing onto my shoulders.

”There we go,” I say, pulling back to smirk at her. “Remember who it is that makes you feel like this.”

Her breathing turns laboured as I work my fingers in and out of her tight cunt, feeling my own hardness press painfully against my pants.

“No more dates with other guys,” I say firmly, watching her slowly come undone. “Watching you laugh with coffee shop guy today was one of the worst feelings I’ve felt in a long time.”

Her eyes widen slightly, but she continues panting with each thrust of my fingers.

“His name is H-Hayden,” she manages to say, eyes rolling back slightly.

“His name is irrelevant,” I say, pressing my thumb down against her clit.

Kairi gasps, closing her eyes as the feeling becomes too overwhelming for her.

“I don’t know how I’m supposed to just sit back and watch you be happy with another guy, Kairi,” I admit, knowing I’ll regret saying all of this after we’re done here. “Do you really think any of them can make you come the way I do?”

”N-no,” she pants. “But I’m so close.”
