Dare to Stay (Dare Nation 4)

She started toward him when his cell phone rang from inside the pocket of his swim shorts.

“Ignore it,” he said, wanting to grab her, pull her over him, and taste her sweet pussy.

The noise stopped and she began to crawl up to him again. He grabbed her around the waist, and she bent over, her lips coming down on his. He swirled his tongue inside her mouth, drinking her in. He never thought he’d have this chance again, and the fact that she was giving it to him was a fucking miracle.

A moan escaped from her throat, and his dick started to get hard all over again. Looked like he didn’t need time after all. He never broke the kiss, moving his hands upward and cupping her breasts and pinching her stiff nipples between his fingers. She rolled her hips over his cock and suddenly sat up.

“I need you inside me.” Lifting her body, she grasped his erection in her hands, settled her wet sex over the head of his dick, and slid down on a moan, her slick walls clasping him in tight heat.

At the snug feel, his eyes shut tight and he thrust up to meet her. “Fuck, you feel good.”

“I’m going to make you feel even better,” she said and began to slide up and down his now rock-hard shaft.

He grasped her hips and helped her rise and fall, slamming down hard, hips rolling forward each time their bodies met. All he felt was her.

All he cared about was making her come. For him. Beneath him. With him. Reaching out, he slid his finger over her clit, pressing down and moving in deliberate circles that she began to imitate with the motion of her hips.

“Braden, Braden, Braden!” The sound of his name on her lips was everything.

She tilted her head back, arching her body and seeking more pressure that he was only too happy to give.

He gritted his teeth, holding back, refusing to give in to his orgasm until she’d had hers. Instead he took her in, hair falling down her back, her gorgeous curves riding him, when suddenly her sex clamped tight around him as she fell over the edge. Her climax hit and it was the most gorgeous sight.

He waited until she’d ridden out her pleasure, only then letting himself go. He thrust up again and again, but it didn’t take long for him to find release, losing himself inside her completely.

She collapsed on top of him, and he slipped out of her, totally spent. She snuggled against him, and he gathered her in his arms, her head on his shoulder, and they lay in silence, both catching their breath, until the sound of laughter reminded him of where they were.

“We should get dressed in case someone comes by,” she said, stepping around the chaise and bending to pick up the pieces of her bikini.

They’d gotten carried away in here, but he didn’t regret it for a second. Nodding, he rose to his feet, cleaned up with a towel while she did the same, and they put on their clothes.

A few minutes later, he grasped her hand and they walked out of the cabana to find a couple had settled on chairs nearby.

“Jesus, buddy, next time take it to your room.”

Willow pulled him faster toward their chairs while Braden merely gave the guy a thumbs-up. What else could he do? he thought wryly.

As he reached his chair and sat down, he felt his phone in his pocket, remembered it had rung earlier, and reached for his cell, saw Austin had called, and narrowed his gaze.

Willow settled in beside him and glanced over. “Anything important?”

He clicked over to the messages and read the transcription. “It’s Austin. Evie verified the Kingstons. They are Aurora’s family.”

Eyes wide, Willow blew out a long breath. “Okay then. We tell her and she can meet the one who’s in town. Lincoln? Was that his name?”

Braden nodded.

Willow bent her knees and leaned her head back on the cushion. “I’m worried,” she admitted. “Or maybe I’m scared. I don’t know these people, but the best thing for her is if they accept her with open arms.”

“And she ends up leaving with them.” He finished her thought for her.

She nodded, her entire demeanor withdrawn.

Not from him, necessarily, but from life, which she anticipated throwing her another hit. He would have liked to extend their afternoon, but with one glance at Willow’s concerned face, their fun day came to an abrupt end.

“Do you want to go back to your place and talk to Aurora? Or would you rather head over to Dare Nation and pull her from work to break the news?” he asked.

Willow sighed. “We’re not dressed to walk into an office, so why don’t you take me home, and you can go back to your place. We can shower, change, and you can come by tonight and we’ll break the news to Aurora once she’s had time to unwind after work?”
