Chapter 15
Lucy
Day one was a long but fun day. Mom had woken us all up for a huge breakfast and then we’d gone down for a few hours of fun on the beach before the heat became too unbearable. The twins had buried Dad in the sand while Mom had soaked up some sun as she read a book, and Harris had chased me in the surf, threatening to tickle me.
After that we’d gone on the Sea Dragon, which was a pirate adventure for kids. The twins always loved the two-hour-long ride and I enjoyed looking for dolphins while Mom and Dad relaxed inside with cool drinks and snacked on the biggest pickles I’d ever seen. Harris stayed with me during the entire boat ride, except for when Luca and Lyric soaked him with the water guns the pirates provided. I couldn’t stop laughing as he chased them around the deck.
After the pirate adventure we went back to the condo and ordered enough pizza to feed three families, but turned out to barely feed all the guys. All the fun had worked up a huge appetite in us all. Luca and Lyric crashed in front of the TV in the living room and Mom and Dad decided to go for a walk on the beach after carrying the boys to bed. That left Harris and I alone for the first time all day.
I wasn’t sure why, but I felt a little shy as he took my hand and pulled me down the hall to my room. He didn’t stop at my bed, though, which left me disappointed. I wanted to finish what we’d started the night before, but that wasn’t his plan and he stepped out onto the balcony before half closing the door behind us.
Still holding my hand, he stretched out on one of the loungers and tugged me down beside him. My head went instantly to his chest and a happy little sound escaped me when I felt him kiss the top of my head. It was insane. A week before I had been so miserable I’d cried myself to sleep every night. Now, I felt like I could float I was so content. Just a few days with Harris Cutter and everything seemed to be falling into place where it belonged.
“How about tomorrow we spend the day at one of the sandbars? Just the two of us.”
A smile lifted my lips and I pressed them into his chest. “Mm, I like that plan.”
“Can we get you a once-piece swimsuit before we go, though?” he asked in a slightly strangled voice, and my head snapped up, frowning at him. “That damn bikini you were wearing today nearly drove me mad, sweetness.”
I smirked. “Too bad. I’ve got plenty of bikinis. I’m not buying another swimsuit. Daddy didn’t complain, so you shouldn’t either.”
He blew out a long breath through his nose. “I’m not complaining. Not even a little. I’m thinking about my sanity, Lu. My sanity and us not getting arrested for public indecency for having sex on the beach.”
“You’ve done a good job of keeping your hands to yourself so far,” I reminded him.
“Only because I’m trying not to screw this up again.” He turned so he was lying on his side, facing me, but still pillowing my head on his bicep. He was quickly becoming my favorite pillow. He brushed my hair back from my face when the breeze blew a few curls forward. “I’m trying hard here, Lucy.”
My stomach filled with the warm flutters of butterfly wings and I lifted my hand to trace my index finger along his scruffy jaw. He’d shaved his beard from earlier in the week, which had disappointed me a little. This new scruff, however, felt just as delicious against my finger as his beard had been on my thighs Monday morning.
“I’m not going to lie. I really like that you’re trying hard,” I confessed. “But from the moment I saw you in my bathroom yesterday, I was convinced you were serious and we should give this another shot.”
He’d left everything in California to come to Florida and be with me. He had left his club in the hands of other people to take care of so he could take this time to show me how much he cared. For me, that was all the proof I needed that I should at least try to see where we could go this time around. Maybe it was a mistake, but then again, maybe it wasn’t. I loved him too much not to give us a chance.
Even if it completely destroyed me in the end. Harris was worth that risk.
“Fuck, Lucy. I love you so damn much, sweetness.”
I felt the heat of his lips before he kissed me, was ready and waiting for it. I wrapped my arms around his neck, not wanting to ever let him go. I loved the feel of his hair as I ran my fingers through the short length. My nails scraped over his scalp as his tongue dived deep into my mouth, my body already burning for him.
His hands moved over my body like he couldn’t control them. One cupped my left breast while the other traveled south, squeezing my ass hard as he pulled my lower body roughly against his own. His dick flexed against my stomach and my thighs opened, offering him full access. I was only wearing a pair of boxers and the thin cotton material was barely a barrier for his steel-like cock.
Wanting to feel more of it, I pushed at his chest. Harris went willingly, his hands grasping my waist as he rolled onto his back and pulled me astride him. The moan that escaped me as I positioned myself perfectly over his thick length had his hands tightening at my waist in reaction, but I was too lost in the feel of him to care. I arched into him, shifting my hips to grind down against him. The pleasure was so intense that I saw stars for a second.
“You’re driving me past the point of no return, Lucy. Stop now or things are going to go at warp speed from here on.” His voice was hoarse with a need that matched my own.
He was out of his mind if he thought I was going to stop. I wanted more of what we’d had Monday morning. I wanted him inside of me. Wanted him to make me come in every way humanly possible. Needed him to ease the ache deep within me and then make it ache all over again.
Reaching between us, I pushed my hand into the top of his basketball shorts and wrapped my fingers around his thick shaft. He ground out a harsh curse and clenched his jaw, begging me to stop. I shook my head and took my time enjoying his hot, silky hardness. No wonder I’d ached so much the days following our first time. He was fucking huge. One hand didn’t completely wrap around his fullness and I craved for him to fill me again.
My thumb brushed over his pre-cum-covered tip and he released a hiss through his clenched teeth. “Fucking hell, Lucy. Do what you want to do with it now before I explode in your hand.”
I looked up at him through my lashes, saw that he was barely holding on, and grinned wickedly. “What I want?” He nodded, his jaw clenched so hard I knew he was going to damage something. “Anything I want?”
“Yes, sweetness. Anything. Just, please, do it now.”
Oh, the possibilities. I wanted to taste him, wanted to feel him swell in my mouth as he erupted. I wanted to feel him stretching my inner walls as I took him deep inside my soaked pussy. I wanted…
I squealed in surprise when Harris moved. Suddenly I was on my back, my hair spread across the lounger as Harris sat on his knees over me, his hands already tugging off my boxers. “You are such a tease,” he ground out as he lowered his head and nipped the sensitive spot just behind my left ear. The warm night air blew across my bare pussy as he threw them aside and rubbed his thumb over my already pulsing clit. “Fuck, how am I supposed to hold back when you are this wet for me?”
