I cared for something else but a swim would work too.

The water was cool against my skin and helped tame some of the desire that was dancing inside me. We soaked up the last of the rays of the afternoon sun before drying off and eating dinner at the hotel restaurant. Colton was attentive and affectionate but when we got to the door of my room he hesitated when I invited him inside.

“What is it?” I asked, uncertainty churning my gut. I bit the inside of my cheek. Was our vacation fling coming to an end?

“I don’t want you to feel pressured if you’re sore,” he confessed softly.

I blushed. I was worried he was ending it and he was worried about me. “A little bit but in the best of ways,” I teased. “Besides, we only have a few more days together and I want to make the most of it.”

Something I couldn’t quite read flashed across Colton’s face before he dipped his head to kiss me. I pressed up on my tiptoes and put my hands around his neck, bringing our bodies closer together. I tried to commit the feel of his lips against mine to memory before I had to go back to reality in my lonely apartment in Minneapolis.

Without breaking our kiss, he plucked the key card from the back pocket of my shorts and opened my door. He guided me to the bed without bumping into anything and I squealed when he grabbed me by the hips and tossed me onto the bed. He smirked at me before tugging on one of my ankles until my hips were at the end of the bed. I shimmied out of my skirt and he groaned when he realized I was bare underneath. I hadn’t wanted to wear a wet swimsuit through dinner but I had never been without underwear before. It was totally worth it to see the look on his face. He ran his fingers over my center, gently pushing one inside me. Despite my best efforts, I bit my lip. Okay, maybe he was right, I was a little sore.

He arched his eyebrows knowingly at me and dropped to his knees. I shifted to my elbows but he put a hand on my stomach. “Let me help you out, baby girl. Besides, I’m craving something sweet after dinner.”

I fell backwards when he licked a long stripe up my center, circling his tongue around my clit before repeating the motion. I bucked my hips as his tongue found my clit again. “That’s it,” he purred against me. “Just lay there and let me take care of you, baby girl.”

I groaned. Dirty talk from a guy was one of the biggest turn-ons for me and Colton didn’t disappoint. Colton’s tongue found my entrance and he slipped it inside. I bucked my hips and his hands came around my thighs to hold my hips down and keep my legs spread. I had one boyfriend awkwardly go down on me in college but it was nothing like this. Colton gave head like he enjoyed it. I shuddered when he focused on my clit again.

“Please,” I gasped out, feeling the orgasm building.

“I got you, baby girl. Come for me, now.”

I cried out his name when the orgasm slammed into me, my body shaking as lights danced behind my eyes. Every muscle trembled and ached in the most delicious war. When I finally caught my breath, I only had one thought.

“There’s no way you’re real. There’s no straight white man who isn’t a fictional character talks like this. You have to be a robot.” I said, no brain to mouth filter while the orgasm still scrambled my brain.

Colton grinned as he propped himself up on his elbows. “Well, you’re wrong in one assumption there.”

“What?”

“That I’m straight.”

My eyes widened and I propped myself on my elbows. “Wait really?”

The grin stayed on his face even as it dampened slightly as if he was cautious about my reaction. “Yes, really. I guess the technical term is bisexual although for me it really depends on the person.”

“Well that does explain how you’re so perfect,” I teased, subtly letting him know I was totally fine with it. Ryan was bisexual as well although he had been happily committed to his boyfriend Aaron for six years now.

He grinned. “I don’t know about that but I’ve been taught well.”

“Have you had many relationships with other guys?” I asked before my brain caught up with me. “Wait, you don’t need to answer that. Sorry.”

“It’s fine. Not many. Not a lot of options in a small town like Oakville. But a few at college.”

I nodded. “Well I’m glad I solved the mystery of how you’re so perfect. That would have bothered me for weeks.”

He laughed and tugged me closer. “Not perfect, but I’m always trying to step up my game. For instance,” He tugged my hips down until I laid flat on the bed again, “Let me try again.”

CHAPTER 5

RILEY

Adeep sense of melancholy settled over me as I traced absentminded circles on Colton’s chest. It was our last night of vacation and tomorrow we both had flights out of the island’s airport early in the morning. I was going back to Minnesota and Colton was going back to Kentucky. Sadness and maybe a little desperation hung in the air the last few days as I tried to soak in each moment before I had to leave this man behind.

Colton’s heartbeat was steady under my ear as I laid with my head on his chest. We had just finished another round of sex. It was always steamy but this round felt different, softer and sweeter and I soaked it all in, trying to commit it to memory.

“Can we talk?”
