He nestled his erection against the seam of me and trailed kisses along my spine, from the nape of my neck all the way down to my tailbone. I struggled against my restraints, grinning when he increased his hold and commanded me to stay still. “Did you think you could put on something this naughty and not get punished?”
The smack of his hand against my flesh echoed through the air, the slight sting turning me on that much more. We’d had good sex, but this was on par with our adventures—all thrill, no thinking.
Just like when we’d reached the “creepy cool cave” during our kayaking adventure, and he’d insisted we secure the kayaks, climb out, and explore deeper inside. It’d narrowed to the point we’d crawled across the rocks on hands and knees, and then it’d opened to a mini beach that’d been illuminated by the spears of light the sun sent through eroded holes.
I’d thought the sex on that beach was pinnacle sex, yet here we were again, on the brink of mutual satisfaction so exquisite and fierce, I didn’t care if it incinerated me from the inside out.
I heard the crinkle of the condom wrapper. Too horny to play it cool, I sighed in relief as he poised himself at my entrance. But instead of driving inside me, he rubbed and teased me with the head of his cock, until I did the one thing I swore I’d never do with a guy—I fucking begged for it. “Luke, please.”
“Please what?”
I popped my booty, searching for his thick arousal and moaning as it slipped against me, hitting my clit and leaving me panting. “Please fuck me already.”
He moved aside the thin strip of my thong that I’d forgotten was still even there, and shoved into me, filling the spot that’d been leaking with want. He swept aside my hair and sucked on the nape of my neck, the line of my shoulder.
Luke captured my chin between his finger and thumb, twisting my face so that I could see him out of my peripheral. He draped his body over mine and planted a heated kiss on my lips. His tongue plunged inside, stroking over every inch of my mouth as he rode me harder. The added friction of the thong had my eyes rolling back in my head, and without the ability to see, all I could do was feel, feel, feel.
My bra came loose—no, Luke undid it. He continued to thrust in and out as he reached around and kneaded my breast. Then his hand slid lower, one of his fingertips dipping into my belly button, breaching the barely-there elastic barrier of my thong, and finding my clit.
I rocked against him, and his harsh swear stirred the hair at the top of my head.
Back and forth we went, each one of us fighting for control, much like the tango.
Much like the tango, I could hardly keep up. My toes literally curled; my muscles went taught….
And then I burst into a million little euphoric pieces.

Luke
My self-restraint thrashed in the deluge of pleasure, and I gripped the reins tighter, determined to ride out the quivering of the gorgeous woman beneath me to the very end.
During my past relationships, sex was more of a rerun of a great show. Still an excellent way to spend my time, but I’d seen the moves before. Ellie awakened a more carnal version that constantly found new ways to ravage and devour, leaving me as reckless with her as during physical feats such as climbing, exploring, and diving. I craved her in a more intense way, one that formed strings between my heart and hers, and that made every single thing we did, from chatting on the phone to making love, even more incredible.
Making love.I’d never ever called it that before, yet it fit. I waited for the panic to rise and my hunger for this woman to fade, but it only grew wings and overtook every part of me.
I lowered my lips to the line of her shoulder, nipping and sucking as I continued thrusting my hips. The drag of the thin strip of elastic on the backside of her thong scraped across my length, amplifying my ecstasy.
Black dots danced across my vision; my oxygen thinned out, similar to surpassing an altitude of fifteen thousand feet. I licked up the column of her neck, sought her pillowy lips, and grunted at the way she’d opened up for me.
My balls tightened, the tempo of them slapping against her ass matching the thundering organ in my chest. I dropped the reins, stopped fighting, and let go. My orgasm rushed through me, all intoxication and elation, and I emptied myself into her with a groan.
I fell to the side so I wouldn’t crush her and worked to recover my breath as I skated my finger up and down her side, soaking in every soft curve. “For all my talk, the only thing I stripped you of was the bra.”
“That extra friction of my panties, though. Mmm,” she said, tipping back her neck to kiss my jaw.
I wrapped my hand around her throat, my thumb going to the pulse point hammering away beneath her delicate skin. “Mmm is right. Wear this get-up underneath your outfit tonight. Once we get back from the bar, I’d like another shot at removing it.”
“Does that mean you’ll spend the night? Not that you have to, but—”
I kissed her, doing my best to chase away her anxieties over suggesting it. “I’d love to spend the night with you.” In fact, if it meant more time with Ellie, I was beginning to think I might stay in San Diego for longer than I originally planned.

“Here’s the thing,”Cat said, shifting forward in her seat, while at the same time, Penny crossed her forearms on the table and gave me what I presumed to be her hard stare. Ellie insisted her friends promise to be nice to me before she’d headed to the restroom, and I had a feeling they were about to stretch the limits of the definition. “Ellie is, by far, one of the smartest, funniest, best people in the entire world.”
Penny nodded and took over, as though they’d rehearsed their speech, and for all I knew, they had. “She’s drop-dead gorgeous, and far sweeter than ninety-nine percent of the population deserves—”
