“Then show me.”

As I kiss my way down her throat, her back arches and her fingers twist tighter in my hair, sending delicious shivers down my spine. I take her nipple in my mouth, scraping my teeth against her taut bud before I swirl my tongue over to stop the sting, moving to the other and doing the same.

When I slip my hand between her thighs and shift her bikini aside, I waste no time in pushing two fingers inside her.

“Yes. Fuck me.”

Her moan causes me to laugh against her skin. “That’s right, baby. You let them know what I’m doing to you.”

“There’s no one around. We are too far for them to hear,” she breathes. “And my moans are only for you, remember.”

I press down on her clit and rotate my finger, teasingly slow. Her hips buck into me and her head falls forward as she grips my jaw. “I need you.”

When our lips connect, she takes full control. Her hungry mouth dominates mine, taking every last bit of me like she needs my breaths to survive. She whimpers into the kiss as she rocks against my fingers. “God, I love it when you kiss me like this.”

“I need you to fuck me.”

Loving her plea, I remove my fingers from inside her, shifting down the waistband of my shorts for my erection to spring free. I grip my aching cock, stroking myself as I hold Nora’s heated gaze. I want her, I’ve wanted her all fucking day, and it’s only now I realize I’ve got nothing with me in the form of protection.

Pulling me close, her ocean blue eyes speak volumes against the dusk when she holds my gaze. She doesn’t have to say anything because her understanding and acceptance have never been more powerful.

“Grayson. I want you inside me.” She kisses me gently. “Please. I need you.”

“I need you like I need air,” I admit. Positioning myself at her entrance, I take a moment to absorb her features: her eyes, the freckles across her nose from the sun, the locks of her wet hair that cling to the side of her face like ribbons… Everything.

“So beautiful.”

“Fuck me, Grayson. Hard.”

And I do.

When I push inside her and she gasps, it’s like it triggers the beast in me and I take her the way she is asking. The more she cries, the faster I thrust. The more she begs, the harder I push into her, hitting the spot that drives her wild as the water splashes around us and the sound of the ocean mixes with my groans. Gripping her ass in my hands, I fuck her relentlessly until her climax breaks around me and I’m filling her over and over. I cover her mouth with mine and kiss her like it’s my last chance to do so.

“The more I’m with you, the more you have me falling, Nora.”

“And I’m falling with you,” she breathes.

“This is nice,” she whispers, cuddling into me with her head resting against my chest as we lie on the bed of my truck in a parking lot, looking up at the night sky.

After we’d drawn ourselves from the water and had come back to shore, I’d driven us to Hot Tuna where I’d ran in and grabbed us a bite to eat, promising her I wouldn’t stop and do any form of work while I left her outside waiting. Driving around and away from all the chaos, I’d found a quiet spot for us to just watch the stars.

“Yeah. I could stay here with you forever.”

“I saw you in deep conversation with Mark earlier. Has he heard from Asher at all?"

I swallow, hating that I can answer her question, but I can't give her the whole truth. "No, he hasn’t."

"I thought he'd be home by now.”

"I'm sure he will be in good time. You know what he says about his job."

"Unpredictable. I know." She sighs. That quietness I know too well comes from her, and I can sense her mind has gone into spirals.

"What's on your mind, Shortcake?”

“What happens with us?" She lifts her chin to face me, anxiety clouding her eyes before her words come out in a rush. "When Asher finds out… I—I don’t want this to stop, Grayson.I can't bear the thought of losing you. I just...”
