Page 41 of It Starts With Summer

“Hey,” Ravi whispered, his warm breath tickling my ear.“I have some news about the session break.”

“What kind of news?”I asked, nuzzling his neck as he rubbed my back.His shirt smelled like the camp’s laundry detergent and something comforting, something that was essentially Ravi.I kissed his shoulder, smiling because I had these urges to show him affection more and more now, and for once, I didn’t have to restrain myself.I kissed his collarbone, then sucked on his neck the way I knew made him giggle.

He pulled back and looked me in the eye.“Stop messing around.We’re talking!”

“I want to kiss all the parts of you I like,” I said, kissing his nose, which was a very handsome nose.“Okay, talk.”

“So my parents are surprising me over break.They’re bringing the whole family to visit.”

“Wow,” I said, raising my head to look into his deep brown eyes.“And you have what, four siblings?”

Ravi chuckled, flashing those endearing dimples of his.I kissed his left dimple, and he rolled his eyes at me, but turned and let me kiss the right one, too.“Five siblings.Two brothers, three sisters.And yeah, if you’re thinking it’s a lot, it is.I don’t know anyone else who has as many siblings as me.”

I couldn’t quite tell if Ravi was dreading the visit or excited about it—maybe a mix of both?Regardless, I felt a pang of sadness that our precious time together would be interrupted.This was our summer, and it felt precious.

“Are you okay with that?”I asked tentatively, tracing a finger along his strong jawline.

“Of course.”Despite his words, there was a hint of uncertainty in Ravi’s voice.“It’ll be nice to see them.I usually see them a few times a month during the school year.Either they visit me in Stanford and we all go out to eat, or I drive back home for a weekend.”

I nodded, though the selfish part of me wished we could have that time for ourselves the way we had last break, but I decided not to dwell on it, and kissed him instead.I was sure I could find things to do alone at camp.It wasn’t like I hadn’t entertained myself at camp before, and if he didn’t want me to meet his family yet, that made sense.We’d only been dating for five or six weeks.

Was I disappointed that he wasn’t inviting me to join them?That would be weird.I cleared my throat, shaking away that thought.

“I’ll give you a list of places that’d be good to take them,” I said, smiling.“You can show them the best Eagle Ridge has to offer, local style.”

Ravi stared at me for a long moment, then nodded.I felt sick at the thought of being away from him for three days, then wondered if that was crazy.Plenty of couples spent time apart regularly.Hell, most people started by dating only a few nights a week.It would be fine, wouldn’t it?But no amount of reassuring myself would quell the strange ache in my chest.

Needing a distraction from my spiraling thoughts, I leaned in to capture his lips with mine.This time, our kisses were slow and relaxed, our tongues exploring each other’s mouths as if we had all the time in the world.

I reached for the hem of Ravi’s shirt, pulling it off over his head and revealing his toned chest and muscular arms.He did the same for me, and we pressed our bare skin together, feeling the heat between us grow more intense.Our kisses deepened, became more passionate, but he kept the pace unhurried, savoring every moment of our connection.

Ravi’s hands wandered along my body, leaving a trail of goosebumps in their wake.They slipped beneath the waistband of my shorts, cupping my ass and gently squeezing.My heart raced at the thought of having him inside me, and I could feel my arousal building, but I didn’t want to rush things, and I didn’t want to pressure him.

“God, you’re so sexy,” Ravi groaned against my lips, his glasses slightly askew from our fervent kissing.He took them off and set them aside, which I now knew meant he meant business, because he could only see three or four feet in front of him without them.Without them, he could see me, so that was good.

“Look who’s talking,” I teased, running a hand through his thick, dark hair.“You’re the most beautiful man I’ve ever seen.”At that, his dimples made an appearance, and I couldn’t resist nibbling on his lower lip.

Despite my eagerness to feel Ravi deep inside me, I knew we had agreed to take things slow.My cock throbbed with need as I felt the solid presence of Ravi’s erection pressing against me through our clothes.I wanted him so badly it was almost painful.

“Ravi,” I panted between kisses, “I want you so much.”

“Mm, I want to taste all of you.”He gently pushed me down onto the bed and began to explore my body, his fingers lingering on every inch of skin, leaving me shivering in their wake.I moaned, arching my back as he brushed over a sensitive spot on my throat.It was one I was pretty sure he’d cataloged for use whenever he wanted me horny, because he found it with unerring precision every damn time.

“I love the way you feel.”Ravi’s breath was hot against my neck as he trailed kisses along my collarbone.Ravi took his time worshipping my body, and I marveled at his patience and determination, even as my restraint grew increasingly thin.

“Patience, Parker.”It was like he could read my thoughts.Or perhaps I was being really obvious.“Trust me, it’ll be worth it.”

“Easy for you to say,” I grumbled, but I couldn’t deny the intense connection building between us with each tender touch.I knew that when we finally came together, it would be an experience neither of us would ever forget.

“Let me take care of you.”Ravi’s fingers teased the waistband of my shorts, causing my cock to twitch with anticipation.

“Please,” I breathed, granting him permission and eagerly awaiting his next move.He lowered his mouth to my nipples, licking and gently biting them.I gasped at the sensation, my cock throbbing with need.His lips then moved down to my chest, leaving a trail of kisses that set my skin on fire.His tongue traced the contours of my stomach, making me shiver with anticipation.

I groaned, my fingers gripping the bed sheets as I struggled to hold back my impending orgasm.

He had a mischievous glint in his eyes as he quickly tugged off my shorts and underwear, and I wondered what his plan was.He kissed his way down my stomach, and as he reached my legs, he nuzzled and kissed my inner thighs, teasing closer and closer to where I needed his goddamn mouth, causing my hips to buck involuntarily.He stopped before reaching my cock and abruptly rolled me over onto my stomach, running his hands over the curve of my ass before giving it a playful slap.The combination of tenderness and rough play had me on edge, desperate for more.

“Fuck, Ravi,” I whimpered, my patience wearing thin, thinking about what it would be like when his big cock settled deep inside me.The connection and intimacy of that moment would be beyond anything I’d ever felt with a boyfriend.I knew it.But I also knew he wasn’t ready and respected his desire to wait.
