o more ignoring me or shutting me down, okay?"
"We only have a week." I reached up and wrapped my arms around his shoulders, baring much more than my nakedness to him in those moments.
"No, we have as long as you want." He pressed into me and let out a groan. "How the fuck are you so tight?"
"Come closer." I pulled him to lay flat against me and wrapped my legs around his as I bucked my hips and worked him as best I could.
He pressed his elbows on either side of my head and brushed my hair back as a smile lifted his lips. "Oh, man...you're so insanely beautiful. I swear I feel like I have butterflies tearing up my stomach each time I see you."
I laughed, unable to help myself. The sexy thing thrusting himself deep inside of me had never really felt any of the effects of love. Could that be true?
"Ignore them. They're a pain in the ass." I nudged him to turn us over, and he did, letting me sit on top of him. I pressed my hands to his chest and glanced down to watch us fuck as I rolled my hips and massaged him.
His panting was delicious, but nothing was better than the tight grip he had on my ass combined with the expressions of pleasure that moved across his face.
"Slow down. I'm so close." He gripped my hips, trying to slow me, but I fought against him, bucking hard as I lifted up on my knees and slamming back down on him. "Cora."
"Shut up." I pressed into his chest and looked down at him. "Come for me."
"Shit," he groaned and closed his eyes as his entire body went stiff.
I worked him hard and fast as he cried out several times. If things didn't work out between us, I would be crushed. Where sex was important in my life, passion was required. Never in a million years would I expect to find someone as passionate as Brody again.
I hadn't until that point, for sure.

"Eww, you really like mint-chocolate chip?" He scrunched up his nose at me.
"Yeah. It's the best. Try it." I extended my ice cream cone toward him as we sat out on one of the little rod-iron tables on the strand later that afternoon.
"No way." He turned his nose up at it and moved his chair closer to mine. "That doesn't even look appetizing. It's green with brown flecks in it. Gross."
I laughed and brushed my hair out of my face. "I'll give you a great blow job later if you try it."
"Give me that. I'll eat the fucking thing whole." He smirked and gripped my wrist as he leaned over and dragged his tongue over my ice cream. Chills raced down my spine as he watched me with a sexy look on his handsome face.
"It's good, right?" I pulled my wrist from his grasp and licked at the ice cream.
"Wow. That's really much better than I thought, but nothing beats creamy French vanilla." He licked at his slow and sensually. "So good against my tongue."
"Stop it." I moved closer and slid my hand up his neck as I pressed my lips to his in a long, drawn out kiss.
"You like it. I'm not stopping anytime soon. Not to mention that whatever I did just scored me a kiss from the hottest girl at the lake. I might not be a genius, but I'm doing something right." He moved back and ate at his ice cream as he turned to look out at the water. "So, I don't suppose there is any way that your folks are going to let you stay longer, right?"
"I need to go back and see these cases with them, but I'll try to get back out here when I'm done." I slid my hand over his leg and squeezed softly. "We're not a couple, Brody. Find someone else and enjoy your summer. The real world is waiting just beyond these few months to bore the fuck out of us, I'm sure."
He gripped my hand tightly and smirked. "Find someone else? Is that supposed to be funny? We just talked about wanting more of each other. Am I the only one that really feels that way? Is this just a fling to you?"
"I don't know what it is." I pulled back and let out a long sigh. "What do you want it to be? Are you even staying in Arizona after the summer?"
"I'm not sure, but if we decide we're going to try this thing out between us, then I'm willing to consider it." He licked at his ice cream a little more as he watched me intently. How easily I could fall in love with him.
"I don't want you making decisions on your future based on a week-long romance. That seems crazy." I chuckled as a smile lifted his lips.
"I think you're trying too hard to smooth out all the bumps that could get in our way, and you really don't need to. We'll enjoy this week, and then you'll come back, or maybe I'll come stay in the city with you a little. I'm getting sick of this place, anyway." He snorted, and I knew he was lying.
"You are not. No one could get tired of this place." I glanced out at the water. "I love it here. I would give anything to have a little log cabin tucked into those big pine trees over there one day. That would be really living."
