“Oh my gosh, did you see how big that turtle was? I’ve never seen one that big!” She exclaims.
“It was really big. It must be over fifty years old,” I tell her and this time I can’t hold back. I reach for her and bring her in closer to me. My hands find her hips once again and we both tread water. My lips find hers, and I kiss her. Not just a small peck. I take her lips, owning her as much as she now owns me.
Our tongues meet. She’s tentative at first, but the more I coax her, the more she brings her tongue into play and we make out without a care in the world. I can taste lemon on her lips from the lemonade she must have been drinking earlier.
She pulls away first, but then dives back in. Her hand finds the nape of my neck and she plays with my hair as we continue kissing. Her hips rock into mine, and, if we weren’t out in the open and there weren’t families surrounding us, my hands would be gliding all over her body.
We part, but just barely. I know she can feel my cock that’s now rock hard.
“Wow,” she whispers.
“Yeah, my thoughts exactly. Want to grab some dinner?” I respond.
“That sounds good. There’s a seafood shack just down the road. Want to eat there? Last time I was down here, Max and I ate there, and they have the best lobster bisque I’ve ever had,” she says excitedly.
I shouldn’t be jealous about Max. I know they are friends. Yet, it makes me possessive of Kendall and I don’t want her anywhere near another male.
“Whatever you want,” I say, and we put our snorkels on and I hold her hand the entire way while we swim back to the dock.
Chapter Ten
Kendall
I’m meeting Declan downstairs in the lobby. We both wanted to shower and change. That way if we decided to go for a walk after dinner, we’ll both be comfortable.
I come down and see him in a pair of jeans that look well worn, a white t-shirt, sneakers, and he has his sunglasses hooked in his shirt. He’s the most handsome man I’ve ever met before. Not that I met many men before him. At least none that I was interested in. My mom had me super young, and when I say super young, I mean at the age of fifteen she was pregnant. Right after she turned sixteen, wham! Here I came. She had a rocky start. She tried to make it work with my father, but it didn’t last. I saw what she went through, and I decided to save myself for one person. Someone I love and cherish. Someone that will be mine forever.
So yes, at the age of twenty-two, I am still a virgin. I’m not ashamed either. It’s another thing I embrace.
Declan sees me and he comes toward me and brings me close to his body. His arms surround me, and I nuzzle into his chest. His hands glide through my hair, making me thankful I took the time to do something with it before coming down here.
He gives me a sweet and gentle kiss, then we head out of the resort lobby. I reach in my bag and grab my own sunglasses, put them on, as we start walking towards the seafood shack I was telling him about earlier today.
It’s a hole in the wall type place, but it has the best food I’ve ever eaten before. What can I say, I love food.
Declan’s hand is on my hip as we walk, and I sink into him even with the weather being hot and sticky. Having him surround me is what I’ve been dreaming about. To finally have him hold me, it’s a slice of heaven.
I have to say the real-life version is much better than what I would have envisioned him doing while I stroked myself to orgasm time and time again.
“Are you ready to head back home tomorrow?” Declan asks.
“Not really. I like being home, but I really love the beach and leaving is going to be hard,” I say honestly.
“I can understand that. Where do you live at in Michigan?”
“Auburn Hills. I’ve lived there my whole life,” I respond.
“That’s not too far from the lakes though,” he says with a crooked smile. His sunglasses are now hiding his eyes and I miss looking into them.
“It’s still not the salt air. I mean, I do like the rivers, but the ocean, it’s so peaceful,” I tell him with my arms up in an exaggerated motion.
“True enough,” Declan returns.
We make it to the restaurant within minutes. It’s a seat yourself type of place. I walk towards a table in the corner and take a seat. Instead of Declan sitting across from me, he sits beside me.
