Chapter 47
FORTY-SEVEN
Kendall
Istretch out and realize I’m lying on a warm, firm body.
I snuggle closer, and a shiver runs through me as I think about last night.
When it felt hopeless, the tide turned. I still can’t believe his dad came around so quickly, realizing he was going to lose everything if he kept acting like a dictator.
“Dane…Dane…” I sling my leg over his body and lower it ever so slightly. I nudge my knee into him to see if it will wake him up. Leaning up to his ear, I whisper, “We need coffee.”
His groggy, rough, and sexy voice ripples through me. “And who’s the we you’re talking about?”
I laugh, bringing my hand to my mouth. A little too loud first thing in the morning. He brings his lips down to kiss my forehead, and I press further against him. This is exactly where I want to be—wrapped in his arms.
He flies out of bed and pulls me with him. “Let’s make some coffee.”
I stumble along behind him. “What’s the rush?”
“It’s early enough that we can catch the sunrise from the boat.”
He throws on a pair of shorts and a t-shirt. I grab one of his oversized t-shirts that just barely covers my ass. It’s dark enough out, and no one is awake at this time. And if someone sees me, they’ll think I have my bathing suit underneath, so I go with it.
In the kitchen, he makes quick work of making our drinks, and the smell of fresh-ground coffee tickles my nose.
Once the coffee finishes brewing, he pours it into a couple of cute mugs. Then he speeds out the door, and I say, “Not too fast, I’ll spill my coffee.”
“We don’t want that.” He laughs at me as he glances over his shoulder and stops, takes the mug from my hand, kisses me, and says, “Come on, slowpoke.”
I swat at his back.
Keeping my balance as I step off the dock and onto the pontoon, I grab my coffee mug from the cup holder and throw myself on the back seat. “Ahhh, this is the life.”
The boat rocks in a slow rhythm because of the shifting of weight, while the water slaps against the hull. Dane starts it up, backs up, and glances at me with a dazzling smile that captivates me, sending goosebumps racing over my body. “It sure is.”
My stomach tumbles to my feet, and I shake my head. Even when his eyes meet mine, it feels like his touch—gentle, purposeful, strong.
He drives us to the other side of the lake where the best view of the sunrise will be…so he says. Watching him as he seamlessly steers the boat, forearms cording, his powerful presence has my lady parts tingling.
It’s a smooth stop, and he throws the anchor overboard.
He looks at his phone and taps a few times.
I wonder what he is doing, and then the music plays softly.
He grabs his coffee and slides into the seat next to me.
Picking up my feet, he scooches closer and lays my feet to rest on his lap.
His fingers drag up my thigh, right to the edge of my panties, and back down, sending scorching heat all over my body so intense I arch my back.
The perfect morning with him.
I rub my hands on his arm. “Can we have more days like this?”
“Sweetheart, you can have every day like this.” He squeezes my shins with his free hand. “Come stay with me for the rest of the summer, here on the lake.”
I choke on my coffee. “What? You want me to stay with you.”
He chuckles. “Yes, I want you here all the time. I know we both work a lot. It would be nice to slide into bed right next to you, no matter what time it is.”
Yes, almost comes flying out of my mouth, but I ponder it for a few minutes.
I’d love to be curled up next to him every night.
The lake house is breathtaking too, but I also love my house, pool, and bed.
“How about we split time? I really love the lake house, but I love my space too.” My pool and backyard are amazing…
yet this view, with him, I could get used to.
“That sounds like a great compromise. We can figure it all out as we go.”
I glance around the lake. We anchored in a perfect spot.
The lake is calm; there are no other boats on the water.
Then I see it…orange tinged with pink peeks over the horizon.
I slide my feet off Dane’s lap and kick them to the other side, as I curl up next to him.
His arm snakes around my shoulder, pulling me closer.
The longer we sit there, the more beautiful the sunrise becomes. As the sun paints the sky, we see more and more of her beauty cascading light onto the lake. We sit and watch, soaking up this moment of stillness, quiet together.
“Thankfully, it’s Sunday, and I don’t have to rush out of here to work. Are you home all day? Or do you need to go into the office?” If he has to go to work today, I’d be disappointed, but I also know what it's like to be the boss. It’s exhausting sometimes.
His hand brushes over my arm. “No, Logan said he has everything under control. But…he said we need to schedule a double date soon to make up for my slacking at the office these past few weeks.”
“I can’t wait. We should get that on the books. So, tell me about your brother’s wife…will I like her?”
“You two will get along well. Theresa is sweet and sassy, like someone else I know.” He squeezes me closer. “She keeps Logan in line. I suspect I’ve gotten lucky in that aspect too.” He kisses the top of my head.
I bump my shoulder against him. “You’re really lucky.”
He scoops my face into his hands and gazes into my eyes.
The sparks ricochet between us. I can feel his breath skate over my lips.
His lips press against mine. With my eyes closed, I feel every nerve ending firing.
Our mouths move like we’ve done this for years, sliding his tongue onto mine, like he owns me. And I love every second.
Sunrise, what sunrise? The only thing on my mind is him, holding me…
“You have no idea how I’m feeling right now, having you on my boat,” he says against my lips.
I lean back slightly, enough to bring my hands from around his waist to his neck, interlacing my fingers. “I bet I can…because I feel it too. I could stay here with you forever.”
Throwing my leg over his lap to straddle him, I grind down on his erection. He groans. The tingling shoots through my body. With a thin layer of silk between my pussy and his covered erection, I stop grinding. I sit back in the captain’s chair and slip off my panties.
His eyes are half-hooded as he stares at my panties falling to the floor, and then, for show, I open my legs and slide up his t-shirt. It’s just enough for him to see me glistening for him.
“Get that sweet pussy over here,” he says. Lifting his ass, he slides off his shorts in one fell swoop. His cock bounces in the air, beckoning me to come over.
In two steps, I’m back, straddling him, feeling the hardness of him as I set myself down. He isn’t having it. “You’re going to come for me as I fuck you on my boat.”
“Sounds like fun. Now fuck me,” I whisper into his ear.
He’s fast. I didn't even have time to guide him inside; he already has his cock in his hand, swiping the head from my clit to my entrance. I moan, holding on tight. It’s going to be the ride of a lifetime. I saw it in his eyes moments ago.
His hands press into my hips hard as I slide down his length impatiently. He jerks his hips up and is buried inside me. “Oh, shit.”
“You okay?” he asks with concern.
“Yeah, you just took my breath away for a second.” I try to catch my breath when he starts rocking my hips over him.
I hold onto his neck tightly as I pant in his ear and breathe heavily on his neck, my hips moving to keep to the rhythm he sets.
The man is filling me to the brim. Vibration rips through my body, causing it to shake and erupt in goose bumps.
My nipples tighten, pebbled, ready to tear through the thin fabric.
His hand slides between us as he presses his thumb against my clit. “You’re fucking dripping for me.”
The water sloshes as the boat moves, the sound a distant noise as my orgasm climbs the longer he circles my clit and I slam down onto him. It’s the right angle for his cock to hit that spot. I throw my head back and hold myself with one hand on his thigh and the other holding his forearm.
“I’m close. Fuck, Dane. Your cock…” A loud moan escapes me. He covers my mouth as my eyes roll back in my head, and my whole body is electrified, my stomach tightening. My orgasm fires through every nerve ending. It feels like I shoot up to the sky and slowly drift back down.
He takes his hand off my mouth and drives his cock up into me. The groan that leaves him has me climbing again. “Your perfect pussy is holding my cock like it owns it.”
My head lands on his shoulder, soaking in the feeling of him inside of me. A couple more thrusts and he comes inside of me. His hands are holding onto my hips, gripping me like his life depends on it. “Fuck. You’re mine,” he says, breathing ragged, as his head tips back.
We sit there for a minute, and once we both catch our breath, he lifts his head. I do the same. Eyes locking, he slides his lips over mine. “I love you, sweetheart.”
I close my eyes and then open them slowly. “I love you, too.” Grabbing both sides of his face, I let my tongue wander into his mouth, exploring it. He’s just as much mine as I am his.
When we finally pull away from each other, I lean my forehead against his. “I could do this every day.”
He brushes his fingers under my shirt and up my back. It drives me crazy with a zing of electricity right up my back. My eyes wide, I look at him and say. “We missed the rest of the sunrise.”
We both glance over, seeing the sun shining bright. It reflects off the water like glass, sparkling.
“There’s a lifetime of sunrises we can see together.” His big hands slide down my waist, and his thumbs slide over my skin just under my breasts.
“Yeah, there are.”
I move off of him. His cock is already half-mast like he could be ready to fuck me again soon.
Sitting there with his hands around my shoulders, this is a perfect morning. And I can’t help dwelling on his words just seconds ago. A lifetime. The thought of spending a lifetime with Dane…my heart skips a beat, and shallow breathing consumes me.
“Ready to head back? I’ll make us breakfast.” He glances over at me as he pushes his hand through my hair.
“Twisting my arm with food.” Turning toward him with my arm around his, I kiss his cheek. “I could definitely eat breakfast. We can come back out on the water this afternoon.”
“No work today, so I’m all yours,” he says with a devilish grin on his face.
I shake my head back at him and lick my lips. “All mine.”
Once we are inside, I take a peek at my phone.
Faith:
