The Best of Us (Love in Isolation 2)

A soft pink covers her cheeks as she avoids eye contact. “Yeah, to stay warm.”

Once we eat random things and she pours her wine, we go to the living room. I add more logs to the fire and sit next to her.

“Wanna play another game?”

“I don’t trust you,” I tease. “Depends what it is.”

She takes a drink, then turns toward me with a cracker in her hand. “If you only had twenty-four hours to live, what would you do?”

I pop a brow. “That’s morbid.”

“C’mon, just answer it.” She pushes my arm. “Twenty-four hours, what are you doing?”

“I guess…spending time with my family and letting them know I love them. Making sure my will is updated and that everything’s taken care of for after my passing.”

Her mouth opens. “That’s it? Wow, you’re boring.”

“That’s logical,” I retort.

“Okay, something fun. If all that shit was taken care of already and you said your goodbyes to your family, what would you do?”

I take a breath and reflect on it for a moment. It’s odd thinking about something like this even though I witness people dying every single day.

“Then I’d go to New Zealand and visit Fiordland National Park. I’d spend the whole day hiking and capturing the mountain views.”

“From the photos I’ve seen, it’s beautiful. I’ve never been there, though,” she says. “But now you’re giving me ideas for a trip.”

I chuckle, grabbing a cracker topped with tuna. Sadly, it’s not the weirdest dinner I’ve had. When I’m working, I eat whatever I can whenever I can.

“Alright, I told you. What about you?”

“Hmm…I’m not sure I should say.” She grabs her wineglass and sucks down the liquid as if she’s trying to find the courage. After it’s empty, she sets it down.

“Why the hell not?”

Kendall inches closer to me. “Because I think it’d be better if I showed you.”

My heart races when she licks her lips, then stands in front of me. What the hell is she doing?

“If I only have twenty-four hours to live, then I’m gonna come clean,” she states, straddling my lap and wrapping her arms around my neck. Instinctively, I grab her hips and hold her still.

“Come clean about what?” I ask with a raspy voice.

“That I’m attracted to you, and I don’t think it’s one-sided.” She rocks her body against my groin.

Fuck. Me.

“Kendall…” I warn as my eyes lower. “I think you’re a little drunk.”

“Not really. Plus, I only have one day to live, Ryan,” she mocks. “There’s something between us and has been for a while, so if this is my only chance, then I’m gonna take it.”

My breath hitches as we stare at each other.

“Admit you like me too,” she whispers, grinding her hips into my cock that’s now hard thanks to her. “Even if you say you don’t, I can feel that you do.”

I slide my hand up her arm and grab her chin so our eyes lock. “I’d be lying if I said I didn’t, but I can’t give you what you deserve, Kendall. I’m not good at being in a relationship and would only let you down.”

“I’m not asking for a relationship.”

“Then what do you want?”

“You. Just sex. It doesn’t have to be anything more than that. We’re attracted to each other and stuck in this cabin together. We might as well take full advantage…”

“So you’d be alright with just sex and nothing more?”

I hear the way her breathing increases as she rubs my dick between her thighs. A groan escapes me as she moves faster.

“Yes, that’s all I’m asking for. We’ve both failed at having relationships, so let’s just stick to the fun parts.”

“You’re seriously testing me right now…” I whisper as I slide my fingers under her shirt and touch her soft skin.

With her eyes locked on mine, Kendall lowers her hand and removes her shirt. I watch as it drops to the floor and my gaze hardens as I take in her perfect breasts.

“Fuck it,” I growl as I cup her face and press my mouth to hers. She immediately responds, holding me as I slide my tongue between her lips and taste the red wine she was drinking. Our hips move in sync as she rubs her pussy over my cock. It’s practically begging to be released and fuck her raw.

“Kendall, are you sure?” I ask as I move my lips down her neck. “You’re driving me insane.”

“Yes, God, yes. I want this.”

“Good because stopping would kill me.”

She chuckles as she gives me more access to her silky skin.

“I want to see your tits bounce as you ride me,” I tell her when I unclasp her bra and slide it down her arms until it’s off. “Goddamn. They’re perfection.”

As I move my mouth down her chest, I massage her other breast with my free hand. Kendall arches her back as I suck her nipple and the little moans that escape her drive me wild.
