Chapter 7

Austin

She’s too tempting. That's the only thing I think as I squeeze her breast. "Yes. Anything you want.”

Her voice is all deep and thick. "What about you? What do you want?"

I flick my forefinger across her nipple and circle it. The moan that comes out of her mouth is deep. "I think we want the same things."

She sits up suddenly, and I reluctantly release her. She turns, putting her hands on my knees, opening my legs so she can fit hers between mine. She leans toward me, and her green eyes are daring me. "Kiss me," she says.

The beach is filling up and there are people everywhere. I tilt my head. “You want to start this here?"

Her hands slide from my knees to my thighs, and my muscles flex under her palms. "No more excuses, Austin. You want me, prove it. There's no holding back."

I put my hands at her waist and lift her up onto my lap.

Her legs go around my waist, and I press my lips to hers.

Just like last night, our kiss goes from sweet and simple to an inferno in an instant.

Her heated core is pressed against my hard cock.

The shorts I have on do nothing to hide the desire that I feel for her.

My hands are everywhere, across her shoulders, down her back, massaging her ass, and then back again.

It's only when she whimpers that I pull away.

No one should hear her, no one but me. I'm frustrated and I lean my forehead against hers breathlessly. "Oh, the things I want to do to you.”

She shifts in my lap. “Just do it.”

I groan. “That’s just it, Ruby. Nothing will stop me now. I've thought about you, I've thought about this for seven years. Once we go there, there's no turning back. You're going to be mine."

She moans in response, "Yes. Yes to all of that." Her hips grind against mine, and I swear I’m so close to spurting cum into my shorts.

I cup her face and look into her eyes. "I know this is a lot to ask, but I want to wait."

Her eyes open wide in shock. She puts her hands on my shoulder and tries to push herself off of me, but I don't let her. I hold on to her tightly, grinding her against my swollen manhood. It’s torture, but I won’t let her go.

"Listen to me, Ruby. There's only one thing I want, and that's you.

I will take you up to my room right now and prove that to you.

But it's important to me that we do this right.

You don't trust me, and I can't say that I blame you. "

She starts to deny it, but I don't let her. "Honey, the shit I put you through, hell, the shit I put us through, I don't blame you for not trusting me. But I need there to be trust between us when it happens."

She shakes her head. "This is crazy, Austin. You could take me upstairs right now and put me out of my fucking misery."

The fact that she's cussing tells me exactly what she's thinking and how she's feeling.

She's right: I could take her upstairs and put us both out of our misery, but who's to say she won't walk away afterwards?

There's no way I can let that happen. "Date me, Ruby.

I want us to spend time together, getting to know each other again.

I know it's a lot to ask, but will you do this for me? "

She looks at me with insecurity. "I'm telling you, Austin, if this is a game—"

I don't even hesitate in reassuring her, "I promise you no games. This week is going to be about me and you. That's all that matters to me."

I expect her to deny me, but she doesn't. She puts her hands around the base of my neck. "But we can still kiss, right?"

I laugh and smile widely at her. "Yeah, honey, we can still kiss," I murmur before I dip my head and press my lips to hers. These next few days are going to be the best days of my life, I just know it.
