Chapter 25
Leo took his hands from my eyes and I gasped. Everything was beautiful! The sun was already dipping, and it made the sky look golden. The beach itself was empty and from where I stood seemed to go on forever.
The gentle sound of the waves against the shore was soothing. I took IBK a deep breath, inhaling the scent of the ocean. There was a huge tent not too far away. There were small yellow bulbs hanging around the tent, causing it to look almost ethereal.
I turned to look at him, eyes wide in amazement and he smiled. I walked towards the giant tent with its black fabric billowing slightly in the breeze. I lifted it gently and peered inside. The tiny bulbs were still inside making it seem warm and inviting. There was a cozy arrangement of cushions and blankets. I swallowed. It was beautiful.
“Surprise,” he said, his voice both playful and soothing.
I turned to look at him and flung my arms around his neck. It was beautiful. I stayed there for a while, allowing his hug to soothe me before pulling back.
“Leo, this is… beautiful, ”” I muttered.
He shrugged and tried to act nonchalant. But, I could tell he was proud from the smirk on his lips and the look in his blue eyes. “I wanted to do something special for us. For you and this came to mind.”
Without thinking, I ran towards the ocean, and he followed me.
“Come back!”
I turned to look at him laughing, allowing him the chance to run ahead of my. He got into the ocean and turned to my laughing.
“You’re so good at being second best!” He teased.
My eyes widened and I rushed at him. They played in the water for a while. They ran around and splashed water on themselves. Then, Leo took them inside the tent. There was a table with an array of delicious food that I hadn’t seen earlier. There was even a bottle of wine.
They spend some time eating, sharing bites of food. I even allowed him to feed before reciprocating. I allowed myself to indulge in the moment. They spent some time inside the tent before Leo returned to the ocean.
He had taken off his shirt and I swallowed at his form. His golden hair glistened with the water on his skin. He was well built, and his abs and biceps looked delicious. It took all I could not to trace my fingers against his chest or think thoughts that made my core warm.
I had lost my sandals in the tent and allowed my feet to sink into the soft beach sand. Leo pulled me by the waist and pressed me against his side. I leaned against him, placing my head on his chest. He smelt of the ocean and his worldly scent. Beneath the fading sunlight, everything about him seemed to call out to me. His blue eyes and perfect jawline were wet. His forehead”s golden curls were wet too.
I swallowed and returned my gaze to the starlit sky that Leo was staring at. I needed to focus on the magic of the evening as well. Suddenly he turned me to face him, his blue eyes holding hers.
In the dark of the night, his eyes appeared darker, his voice earnest. “I, I know I’ve said this so many times, but I need to say it again.” I held his gaze, my heart thudding loudly against my chest. He took a deep breath before cupping my cheeks and leaning forward.
“Cassandra Evans, I love you. I have loved you for ages. Since we were in college and right to this moment. I was blind and stupid and dumb, but I was in love with you.” My breath caught in my throat. My brain was on auto drive, the words spinning around in my mind. Even Lisa had decided that Leo was worth a chance but I was afraid, very afraid.
I shut my eyes. I couldn’t stay afraid forever could I? I leaned forward and whispered.
“I love you too,”
I chuckled when his eyes widened, and his eyebrows shot up. He pulled back before tightening his grasp on my cheeks, his voice urgent and earnest. “Say it again I! Say it again!” He cried. My eyes watered and I chuckled. “I love you, Leo. I love you. You know that I do.”
Under the glow of the stars, his eyes seemed to flake and I saw them grow watery. I reached to cup his cheeks as well, ready to wipe off any tear that would fall. “I,” he croaked, his voice filled with emotion. “I need you to know that I’m not who I used to be. I’ve changed. I will no longer run away. I will stay here and fight for a future with you.”
I let out a small smile, my heart thudding against my chest. I knew. I had seen the changes in him and in the way he treated me and spoke to me.
“I know…” I muttered. “Then be my girlfriend . Date me. I?—-“
“I will be your girlfriend, Leo. It’s fine!” I chuckled, hating to have him desperately beg for something I knew I wanted. His eyes widened and he burst into laughter. I joined in. Their laughter accompanied the gentle waves of the beach for a few minutes before Leo leaned in.
“Thank you,” he muttered, placing his lips against hers.
I kissed him with the same fiery intensity. Their lips moved together. His hands wrapped around my gown, pulling me against his chest. I pressed my body against him. His tongue parted my mouth, and my tongue met his in a dance. My fingers dug into his wet hair, my heart thudding crazily in my chest.
I pressed against him, kissing him more intensely, enjoying the shivers that ran down my spine. I moaned against his mouth, their tongues still dancing in my mouth. I pressed to move into his mouth, and he gave me access, allowing me to take as much as I wanted.
The passion simmered, growing into a huge ball that threatened to explode around them. His fingers dug into my hair, shifting it to the side and moving his lips from hers. He tilted my neck gently, dropping soft and passionate kisses along the side of my neck.
This time, I didn’t fight the pleasure or the warmth that threatened to drive my insane. I moaned, allowing him to kiss my neck, occasionally dropping a love bite.
I moaned again, tilting my head further wanting him to kiss every inch of me. He pulled back and my eyes widened in shock. His eyes met hers and I could see the list swirling in the blue.
“I want to take you Cassandra. ”I want my lips to taste every inch of your skin. I want to make you cum while you call out my name,” he muttered. His voice was grave and deadly.
I swallowed, holding his gaze. I wanted that too but most of all, I didn’t want to be away from him. I pressed against his chest and pulled his head downwards, bringing his lips to hers again. I pressed against him, feeling his semi hard cock, grazing my thigh.
I moaned, wanting everything he could possibly offer. He lifted me, his hands clutching my thigh and carried my back into the tenth. He gently dropped me in a blanket. Then, he leaned and kissed her again. Fire and passion blazed in his eyes and onto my body.
I sank my lips into his and dug my finger into his wet hair, tugging at the curls and lifting my hips to rub against his cock. The kiss intensified, reaching a feverish pitch.
His hands found my boobs beneath my dress, squeezing gently. I ran my fingers along his chest, moaning at every perfectly sculpted muscle.
Again.
His lips returned to my neck. His hands lifted the hem of my dress, pulling it over my head. They opened my pink underwear to the soft lights around the tent. His eyes glazed over, looking at me and moaned in satisfaction.
The sound of his moan and his fingers tracing my skin, sent me on overdrive. I moaned as his hands grabbed my boobs, kneading them, his eyes still hooded with passion. He tugged at the straps of my bra and pulled it down. Reaching behind me to unclasp it and allowing my b cups to bounce out. He ran his fingers over my nipples.
I threw my head back in a grunt. My body begged for this. Needed this. He leaned in to kiss me, his fingers tugging against a nipple and twisting it. I moaned against his lips, pressing my hips to his hardened cock in his pants.
“Patience Princess,” he muttered into my ear.
“There’s none left!” I hissed back, tracing my hands down my chest and to his waist. I heard his chuckle against my neck and moaned.
I rubbed my hands up and down his cock. I enjoyed the feel of it against my palm. I wondered what it would feel like inside me. He dropped and ground against my pussy, running his cock along my underwear soaked by my wetness.
I moaned and reached to unbutton his pants. I tugged them down with his boxers, releasing his throbbing cock.
I gasped and he smiled down at me. Watching me as my fingers wrapped around his cock and pumped. He reached forward and tugged down at my underwear.
He moved downwards and brought his lips to my wetness. My eyes widened, the pleasure numbing every thought in my mind.
“Fuck! Leo!” I moaned as his tongue flicked against my clit, driving me closer and closer to an orgasm.
“Leo!” I groaned through grunted teeth, and he rose.
”Are you still on the pill? I didn’t think I’d.. I didn’t…”
I pressed my fingers against his lips, a small smile on my face and nodded. “I am”
Without saying a word, he slid his dick inside of me, grunting at the tightness of my walls.
“Fuck! You’re so tight” he muttered against my ears.
I wasn’t sure I was going to think about it. I had one or two pointless flings to get over him. But, I hadn”t been with anyone since they broke up three years ago. I threw my head back and moaned.
Leo moved within me with slow, deliberate strokes. It didn’t take long for the walls of my pussy to clamp around his dick as he shivered. He buried his cock inside of me and moved quicker. His dick slapped aggressively against my wetness.
I wrapped my thighs around him, pressing him inside of me. I thrust my hips to meet his. My head was thrown back as I neared my orgasm. He leaned forward and sucked on my nipple. It was all I needed to be thrust from the cliff.
I leaned backwards and groaned, arching my back.
“Leo! I’m cumming!” I cried.
“Open your eyes! I want to see you explode!” He hissed and I opened my eyes, barely unable to keep them open as the waves of pleasure racked through my body.
I arched my back, holding his gaze as my walls spasmed around his cock, my body quivering as I came. Leo came along with me, his cock exploding inside of me, filling me with his warmth. His eyes grew darker, and he ground his teeth, groaning as he came.
He collapsed on top of me as they waited for the orgasm to ride off. I finally closed my eyes, still quivering from the orgasm. His cock still jumping inside of me.
“I love you I. I am fucking love you!” He grunted against my ear.
“I love you too.”
I muttered.
