“Yeah. Really.” I hold the chip bag out toward her, shaking it. “Want some?”
“No, thank you,” she says primly.
“That’s kind of hot, how uptight you sound right now,” I tell her truthfully. “I’d love to try and give you a taste of my cock and have you say, no, thank you, just like you did a second ago, and try to push me away. We could role play. Have you ever role played?”
She stares at me as if I’ve lost my damn mind. “Are you for real?”
I nod. Unwrap my second burrito and start eating it. “Gas station food isn’t so bad, you know?”
“Who are you?” Her voice is full of alarm. I lift my head, slowly chewing while she gapes at me. “Have you ever role played before?”
“No. Never.” I slowly shake my head. “Sounds like fun though.”
“I’ve never role played either.” Her hand finds my thigh and she strokes me there, right where the hem of my shorts meets my thigh. “I need to confess something.”
I pause in my eating, worry flooding me. “What is it?”
“That moment just now—behind the gas station.” Her expression is damn serious. “Hottest of my life.”
My smile is slow and I rest my hand over where hers rests on my thigh. “Yeah? For real?”
She nods. “It was…so unexpected. And felt kind of…wrong, but in the absolute best way.”
Her cheeks go pink and I squeeze her hand. I know exactly what she means. “Same for me, babe.”
“We’re going to keep doing this, huh?” When I don’t say anything, she prompts me. “You’re going to find a way to fuck me all over Pismo Beach, aren’t you?”
“If you’re down, I’m down,” I tell her without hesitation, leaning in to brush her mouth with mine. Just like that my entire body reacts, ready to get down yet again. “I’d fuck you right now if I could.”
“I really hope you brought a giant box of condoms,” she says with a sigh.
I laugh. “I did. But thank Christ there’s a Walmart. We could buy an economy pack. I think we’re gonna need it.”
Twenty-Two
Gracie
I am having the best day.
No seriously. It’s the best day I’ve had in a long time. Hanging out with Caleb is helping me forget all my worries and stress. We’re just having fun and being silly and also being…
Extra, extra horny.
That moment behind the gas station? Hot. Every time Caleb looks at me? Hot. His gaze is smoldering and I feel like he’s undressing me with his eyes every time I catch him staring.
Which is a lot.
Escaping to the ocean was a good idea. The weather is cooler, the sun not as intense. Pismo Beach is a serious vacation destination for people from the Fresno area. They come in droves every summer. Coming here on a weekday means there aren’t as many people.
Since starting at Fresno State, I’ve visited the area a few times, but not in well over a year. The air just feels fresher over here. Cleaner—which I’m sure is true. And everything is so pretty, like this cute little barn area we found where people can buy fresh produce and baked goods. They have a super cute gift shop that includes a bunch of succulents and I want every single one.
“Forget the plants,” Caleb says as he approaches me from behind, slipping his arm around me so he can rest his hand against my stomach. “Let’s go get ice cream.”
“I don’t want to leave yet,” I tell him with a little pout. “I want to buy a plant.”
“You can buy a plant and then we’ll walk over to the ice cream place. It’s right over there.” He points toward a faded red building with the doors thrown open.
“Thanks.” I turn to face him, looping my arms around his neck. “You’re so generous.”
