Only One Regret (Only One 5)

"I’m not going to wet your hair," he assures softly as we walk deeper into the water. "I just wanted to touch you, and the only way I could do that was by chasing you."

I laugh as his hands hold my hips. "Well, then," I say, going around him. My chest against his back. "Squat down," I order and wrap my legs around his waist and my arms around his neck. "Does this help?" I ask him, putting my head on his shoulder. If anyone were looking at me, it would look like he’s giving me a piggyback ride. His hands rub my legs, and we just stand here in the water as the water goes up and down. I rest my head on his shoulder. "This is nice," I say, kissing his shoulder.

"It would be nicer if you were in front of me and I could kiss you," he grumbles, and my stomach flips as I think about him kissing me.

"Is that a pout?" I ask him, and he smirks. I move toward him and scrunch up my nose, rubbing it on his cheek. "You can get all the kisses you want tonight."

"Yeah, yeah," he says, just like one of the kids. "Whatever."

I can’t help it. Another laugh escapes me, and I don’t think I’ve ever smiled this much in my whole life. During this whole vacation, I wear a smile on my face. In the morning, in the afternoon, and at night, it is as if I can’t wipe the smile off my face.

Chapter 25

Cooper

The sound of the fire crackling is filling the beach. The teenagers are laughing, and I look over at Erika, who holds Mia in her lap, and I can see Mia’s eyes slowly closing. "Okay, girls," I say, and Erika looks over at me. "Time for bed."

I stand, and once I do, everyone else does also. "I’m ready for bed," my father adds.

"That’s ’cause you’re an old man," my uncle Max tells him.

"You’re going to bed, too." He points at him.

"That’s what you think," Max declares, slapping Allison on the ass.

"I’m going to be sick," Alex says from beside Franny and Vivi. "They are so gross." She gets up and walks over to the teenagers as they lie on the bed, probably thinking of stupid things to do.

"That’s my sister," my father tells Max and pushes him.

"See you guys tomorrow," I say and hold out my hand for Erika. She puts her hand in mine and gets up, Mia groaning that her legs are tired.

Bending down, I take her in my arms as we walk back to the house. "I’m going to go take a shower," Erika says. "Good night, girls." She kisses Mia in my arms and then kisses Emma on her neck. "Sleep tight." She walks toward the bedroom she is pretending to stay in, and I fucking hate it. She finally gave up and stopped waking up at the ass crack of dawn to sneak out.

"Quick, wash off your feet,” I tell the girls, walking over to their bathroom and making them sit with their feet in the tub as I turn on the water. I gave them a bath before we went outside to have dinner. I wipe their feet before turning and going back into the bedroom, handing them their pjs. They crawl into bed, their eyes closing before I even walk out of the room.

I walk downstairs, making sure the lights are off and the shades are closed. Last night, I was bending Erika over the counter when I heard the teenagers, and she ducked down right before we saw a head walk by the window.

I shut the lights off except for the soft one in the corner, then go and sit down. Grabbing the remote, I turn on the television when I stretch out on the couch, waiting for Erika. I hear her footsteps and look over to see her with her hair piled on the top of her head. She wears a beige tank T-shirt that falls just past her ass.

She sees me sitting on the couch and comes over, bending to kiss me. "The girls sleeping?" she asks as she sits on the arm of the sofa. Her legs point toward me, and my hand reaches out to rub her ankle.

"Yeah, they were out before their heads even hit the pillow," I answer as she leans over and her fingers flirt with mine. "How was your shower?" I rub from her ankle to the top of her foot.

"Lonely," she says with a smile and then rubs my leg, her finger doing little circles and she scoots over to me. "Really lonely." She lies on the side of the couch and bends down to kiss me, sliding her tongue into my mouth. Her hand goes to my face. "I was hoping you would join me,” she says right before she kisses me again, and this time, she slides on my lap. Her shirt rolls up, and my hands find her bare ass. She kisses my chest. "I kept waiting." She looks up and smiles when she gets to my cock. Her hand rubs over the top of my shorts, and then she pulls them down. My cock springs up for her. She puts her mouth over the top, looking at me the whole time. "I waited." She takes my cock in her mouth, and my hands hold her arms that are holding her up as she jerks and sucks my cock.
