Sally
Please let me pick you up.
I don’t give her a chance to respond before calling her. “Are you going to let me pick you up?”
“Ollie,” she gives a fake whine. And while her calling me Ollie certainly catches my cock’s attention, it won’t work.
“Sally,” I say firmly. “I’m picking you up.”
“Okay.”
With that, I leave the adoption center and drive across town to shoreline cafe. It’s the same one that Mimi has been going to every morning to work on her writing.
I pull around the front and see Sally dressed in a light-blue tennis skirt and a tied graphic tee. It looks like a faded meadow filling in the white fabric.
“I can’t believe you drove all the way across town,” she says, opening the door and hopping inside the car before I can get out and open the door for her.
A growl gets buried in my throat when she leans over the middle and places a kiss on my cheek.
She starts to turn away. “One more,” I say and pucker my lips.
Sally rolls her eyes and gives me a quick peck. Before she can pull away again, I grip her chin and bring her back down into a full, long-deserved kiss. She doesn’t pull away this time, and I have to fight the urge to deepen the kiss, but I settle for running my teeth along her bottom lip and pull away.
After another few minutes, we pull up to the shack.
“Don’t you dare open that door,” I call out, launching myself around the Jeep to open her door.
“Oliver, what are you doing?” She gives me a look like my actions are so inconceivable.
That face she’s making is the exact reason. Sally needs to know that she’s worth all the extra effort.
Hell, I don’t even really see it as extra. It’s just what she deserves.
I grab her hand as we make our way into the shack. Her hand tenses, which means she must see what’s happening today. Her eyes land on a pink-and-blue bikini top over matching swim shorts.
A brief moment of panic washes over her body. “Oliver, I can’t.”
“Do you trust me?” I ask, picking up the material. “I would never put you in a position where you’re uncomfortable.”
Sally looks at the swimsuit, and a little bit of light comes back to her dark hazel eyes. The perfect mixture of brown and green.
“I know how much you actually like the water. Every time we’re by the lake, you stare at it like you want to shed your insecurities and jump in. Jump off the edge with me.”
There are still a few hours of light left before sunset when we get to my private little cove. There’s a little mouth of water from the lake that runs by the shack, and if you follow that, then you find my little getaway where I can surf and swim until my heart’s content.
I look around the small stretch of visible sand and shore rocks to make sure no one has found my hideaway. If they had, then my plans would be ruined.
Sally’s hand is locked with mine. Her grip hasn’t loosened since we left the shack. I gave her a quick once-over, unable to see the swimsuit since she asked if she could wear one of my hoodies until we got to the water. I’m double her weight, so she's swimming in the fabric.
Sally looks around the beach for a second, and then she whips her head toward me.
“No one’s here.”
“That would be correct,” I say, tugging her with me farther onto the sand.
She looks over Lake Michigan in awe. The glint in her eyes shines brightly as she moves in pace with me now. This whole walk, the girl was a step behind me, using my body as some sort of shield, but now she’s ready to let loose.
“Wow, this place is beautiful.”
