Page 16 of The Model

Watchingthe sun slowly slip down the horizon and the sky light up in beautiful shades of pinks and oranges with the turquoise waters as the backdrop, I pulled Lexie closer to me. Her head rested on my shoulder, where she’d been content for the last thirty or so minutes.

“I wish you didn’t have to go tomorrow. This has been fun,” she said wistfully out of nowhere.

More than fun. Every moment I spent with her, the more I fell for her. While that normally wouldn’t be a bad thing, I wasn’t sure when I’d see her again. I was booked until the end of the year when I then planned to take some time off to spend with my family for the holidays.

“We still have time to make it memorable. What do you say we go for a dip in the ocean?”

“Let’s do it.” She jumped up and quickly pulled off the t-shirt she’d been wearing to reveal her toned and inked body that had me drooling for the last two days. I guess we were skinny dipping as well. Not that I’d complain.

Slipping my shorts off, I threw them to the side and chased after Lexie. She giggled as the water hit her tanned legs, and she turned back to look at me. I loved seeing her smile. It was infectious and made me wish I could see it every day. Grabbing her around the waist, I ran us deeper into the water until I knew she couldn’t touch and would have to wrap herself around me. Lexie didn’t disappoint. Her arms and legs circled me. Her hot center brushed my length, causing us both to gasp before she dipped down and slid her tongue across my parted lips.

“Have you ever had sex in the ocean before?” Her lips swept against mine as her hand wrapped around my cock and started to stroke.

“I have a feeling I’m about to.” I bit down on her lip and pulled it into my mouth. As Lexie placed me at her entrance, I nipped down her neck. My tongue laved along her collarbone and swirled around one of her already hard peaks. The moment I slipped inside, she threw her head back and moaned. I could feel the vibrations all the way to the base of my cock. Wrapping one arm around her lower back, my other hand fisted in her hair to angle her just the way I wanted her. Heat rushed through every muscle of my being, and lust took hold of me. In a tone I’d never heard from me before, I commanded her, “Ride me.”

Squeezing me with her legs, Lexie moved in a tantalizing rhythm as she swiveled her hips on the downstroke. Our lips brushed against each other as we panted and moaned out our pleasure. I cupped her full and perky breast in my hand, pinching and pulling on her nipple ring. With each tug, I felt her core clench around me, driving us closer and closer to euphoria. When heat shot down my spine, and my balls started to tingle, I pulled out, only to stroke my cock a few times before I shot my load into the water.

Lexie moaned as if she had another orgasm by herself. Looking up, I found her eyes trained on the hand still wrapped around my erection. “I love watching you touch yourself. There’s nothing hotter than a man taking care of himself.” If she only knew how often I jacked off at the thought of slamming into her tight pussy.

Pulling her back against my chest, I guided her mouth to mine. Our kiss was slow, hot, and wet as our tongues caressed each other. I rested my forehead to hers. “I think I love having sex in the water.”

Lexie hummed, turning her head so that she could watch the rest of the sunset. It was beautiful but not nearly as stunning as she was. “Maybe someday we’ll meet on another beach and go skinny dipping.”

“It’s a date.” Kissing her temple, I turned us so we could watch the final rays of the sun slip beneath the horizon. “Speaking of dates, would you like to go out to dinner with me tonight? We can get cleaned up and find someplace dark and cozy to eat and have a couple of drinks.”

“I think I’d be stupid to turn down a date with you.”

Twenty minutes later, we were seated at a dimly lit table in the sand. There were only a few tables out on the beach that provided privacy. Both of us had drinks in our hands and smiles on our faces. “Did it bother you when all the women were trying to talk to me?” I asked after taking a large sip of my beer. I was indulging in my last night in Hawaii and having a beautiful woman on my arm. I couldn’t afford to put junk in my body, but one beer wouldn’t kill me.

Placing her margarita back on the table, Lexie’s mouth turned down. “It is what it is.”

Cocking my head to the side, I reached out and pulled her chair closer to mine. “What does that mean?”

“It means I know my place in the world, and I know I don’t compare to those models.” Picking up her drink, she drained half of it in one swallow.

“Can’t you see they don’t compare to you?”

“I’m not looking for compliments, Ryder.” She sighed and signaled the waiter for another drink. “I don’t have legs that go on for miles, and I’ve got more curves in my hips than they do in their entire bodies. I’m a mess. Look at me, I rarely do my hair and makeup.”

“That’s what I like about you. You’re not fake. What you see is what you get.”

Lexie snorted. “I’m just saying I’d understand why you’d talk to them. You have more in common with them.”

“First of all, I wouldn’t disrespect you by doing that. Remember, I’m a nice guy. And second, you’re who I’m into. Not them.” How could she not see that I only had eyes for her?

“Don’t you want a woman your own age?”

My forehead pinched together. “I don’t care that you’re a few years older than me.”

“A few years? Ryder, how old do you think I am?”

“Um…I don’t know. Twenty-four or five?” One shoulder lifted. I had no idea how old she was. I did remember her kind of freaking out when I told her my age. She’d called me a baby.

“I’m more than a few years older than you by a lot.” She eyed me as if she thought I was going to jump up and leave her there over the fact that she was older than me.

“How much is a lot?” Not that I cared. Maybe if someone had set us up on a blind date and told me her age first, but now I was enamored with her.

“I’m twelve years older than you. That puts me right in cougar territory. Oh God,” she covered her face with her hands and laughed. “I never thought I’d say those words about myself.”
