Only With You (The Connor Family 4)

I was right behind her and had spoken the words into her hair. Val let out a long breath.

“Really?” she whispered.

“Yes. I like spending time with you.”

I trailed my hands on both of her outer thighs, right up to where the fabric ran over her hips. Then I moved my hands further up, to her waist and the sides of her breasts. She let out a small whimper, clasping the wheel tighter.

Everything around us faded. I forgot where we were, and I wasn’t even sure I remembered my own name as I swept her hair to one side, kissing her neck. When she gave me a low moan as an answer, I flipped her around and crushed my mouth to hers. I traced my thumb over the knot keeping her bra together. Val stilled completely.

“I’m taking this off,” I said. Val didn’t answer with words. Instead, she arched her hips. I almost lost control when she pressed her pelvis against my hard-on. “Turn around.”

She did as I asked, and the bow came undone after one simple tug. I kissed her bare skin where it was covered before, then opened the clasp lower on her back. The bikini top fell to the floor. The air was so quiet, so full of anticipation. I wanted to feast on her, but I was so greedy for her that I couldn’t decide where to start.

I brought my hands to the front, cupping her breasts.

“Oooooh.” Her voice shook on the exclamation.

I trailed my fingers down to her navel, then lower still, right to the edge of the bikini, tracing the line. I was dying to touch her pussy, but all things in due time. I was going to leave that for last. I kissed down her back next, until I reached the bottom of the bikini. It covered too much of her ass cheeks, which was why I moved the fabric on each side a bit, kissing the skin I revealed, then even giving it a small bite.

“Carter, I’m... ohhh.”

I flipped her around, and seeing her look down at me with hooded eyes, cheeks pink, was almost enough to make me come in my swim trunks. She stood with her feet apart and I rained kisses on each of her thighs. As I inched closer to the apex, I felt her contract the muscles in her belly in anticipation. I was shaking with the need for her, and my balls tightened when I drew the tip of my nose over the part of the bikini covering her pussy, then pushed the fabric to one side and had my first taste.

Val almost toppled onto me, but I was holding her by her ass. I licked once over her clit, sucking on it, and she tried to stifle a moan. I wanted to eat her out, but I also wanted to watch her beautiful face when she came apart, so I kissed up her belly, taking my time. I brought my hand to her clit, circling it gently, spurring her to tremors.

When I reached Val’s mouth, I bit lightly into her lower lip before kissing her.

I worked her up in a frenzy with my fingers. She was holding tight onto my shoulder with one hand. She dipped her other hand in my swim trunks.

“Val,” I groaned. “Baby. Touch me. Just like that.”

She wrapped her palm tightly along my cock, moving her hand rhythmically. How could this feel so impossibly good? I circled her clit faster and moved my mouth to one of her nipples. I twirled my tongue across it, then sucked it into my mouth. She was almost on the edge, ready to tip over. Her breaths were fast and short. I slid two fingers inside her. She was so turned on that all I wanted was to sink in all that wet heat, claim her as mine. When she came, she rode my hand beautifully, my name on her lips, her hand curled around my erection. I wasn’t going to last much longer. I was going to—

“Carter, we have an emergency. Are you in the cabin or below?” April’s voice came from a distance, but I felt as if someone had thrown a bucket of ice at me. Jesus Christ, what had I been thinking? How could I have forgotten that we weren’t alone on this boat? No one could see what was going on in the cabin unless they came inside, but still... I was supposed to set an example.

Val froze. She pulled her head back, eyes wide, then grinned as I bent to pick up her top, helping her put it on.

“I’ll be right out,” I said loudly. To Val, I whispered, “I’m sorry.”

She shook her head. “Go, go. Before she comes and... well, not exactly rocket science to put two and two together.”

Chapter Twelve

Val

It took me a few minutes to calm down. I was so on edge that the simple brush of my panties against bare skin was torture. After gathering my wits, I headed to the back of the boat to make myself useful. Someone had tried to swim and gotten a jellyfish burn. Carter had everything under control. The crisis was already over, but I could see another one looming on the horizon. The guy Carter had been eyeing dangerously when I arrived this morning was smiling at April in a flirty way. Carter was glowering at him from the side.

“

Come on, let’s go back to the front of the boat. The world is full of overprotective brothers or uncles,” I mumbled, tugging at Carter’s arm.

“And nieces and sisters who think they don’t need us,” he countered but relented.

When we returned to the front deck, I suddenly became nervous. To give myself something to do, I sat on my chair, took out the sunscreen from my bag, and began rubbing it into my thighs. I always liked to spend twenty minutes in the sun without any protection, to soak in vitamin D, but the sun was too strong now.

Carter sat at the edge of my lounge chair. “I’m sorry about the interruption.”

“You don’t have to be sorry.”
