“Don’t act all coy. You know what you’re doing.”

“I have no idea what you’re talking about, but thanks for boosting my ego.”

“Yeah, Van, because you need a boost to that.”

“I love it when you say my name.”

I slapped his arm. “Stop that.”

“Stop what, telling the truth? You want me to lie? Tell you I’m not thinking of all the dirty stuff I want to do to you?” He glanced over with a mischievous stare. “You caught me, Cinderella. Can’t get anything past you, huh? I’m trying to impress you; is it working?”

I giggled. “I’m here, aren’t I? No one’s ever celebrated my birthday like this before.”

“I’m almost certain no one’s ever done a lot of things to you or for you before,” he hesitated, speaking with conviction.

“And I’ll tell you what, I really love that I’m showing it to you first.”

“Yeah, yeah, yeah. Just eat, Casanova.” I sat forward.

The entire time we ate, we spoke about nothing in particular, getting to know one another. I truly enjoyed being the center of his attention.

“I’ve never been here.”

“That’s a shame.”

“Yeah,” I replied, taking in the fresh air. The breeze was a nice change of pace from the hot, humid summer. I forgot how much I loved it outside during this time of year.

“Aren’t you going to ask me what my favorite thing about tonight is?” He moved a little closer to me, causing his cologne to instantly assault my senses. It was difficult not to turn into him just to breathe in his scent. He was impossible to resist, even on his worst day.

“I don’t know. Are you going to say something dirty or flirty? Or are you going to be honest?”

“I’m always honest. You, Tru, you’re my favorite thing about tonight.”

Our eyes connected, and for the first time, I didn’t have to question him.

The truth was written all over his face.

I leanedin and kissed her.

At first, it started innocently enough, but after a couple of seconds, she parted her mouth and moved her lips. Her mouth became more demanding, wanting me to respond, and I gently started to, which earned me a moan from her lips.

She tasted like peppermint, and I couldn’t get enough. Her tongue was smooth and felt like silk. I’d only just kissed her, but it already felt so fucking long.

I began to lean forward, wanting to feel her body beneath mine. The second I was above her, my hand started roaming. It started at her hair and then traveled down to her face. She writhed and moaned under me, enticing me to go further. My hand moved to the top of her breast, and I could feel her nipplehardening through her cotton dress. She pushed her breast further into my hand, and I immediately gripped it harder, earning me another moan.

It was the first time I’d ever felt her in this way, rubbing my hard cock against her core. She followed my lead pretty quickly and started doing the same against me. I kissed her with all the passion and hunger of a famished man. She met each push and pull I delivered. My hand moved under her bra, and I knew I needed to stop, but I couldn’t fucking help myself.

I wanted this for I don’t know how long, and I allowed the desire and yearning for her to completely take over me. She felt fucking incredible against my fingers and in the palm of my hand. Everything with Tru was indescribable. It didn’t matter how many girls I had been with. Nothing came close to this.

It excited me in ways I never thought were possible. The emotions and lust I felt for her made everything more real and complete.

Our movements became headier and more urgent since we were both searching for something.

Through a hooded stare, I looked up at her. Tru’s mouth was parted, her face flushed, and her chest rose and fell at a rapid speed as she fisted the blanket beneath her. This embrace was much different from the last. My lips were rough but smooth against hers, my touch firm yet gentle. Her heart drummed so unbelievably fast that I felt it against my chest.

Her body molded perfectly with mine. It was the most overwhelming and consuming feeling I’d ever felt in my entire life. There would be no coming back from this.
