Griffin
"Are you sure you're up for this?" I ask Blue as she stares fiercely at me from the other side of the bed.
"I've told you, I'm fine. Better than, actually."
"You don't have a headache?"
Her glare softens and her lips twitch. "It was a hangover, Griff. I'm all better now. You took good care of me yesterday."
My heart thumps against my breastbone in pride. She's damn straight I took good care of her. She was pitiful when she woke up and her headache lasted most of the day. So, we stayed in bed and cuddled and watched movies between naps.
If you'd have asked me before yesterday if I was into cuddling, I'd have told you to fuck off, but with Blue...it's nice.
Only, nice isn't the right word. At the risk of sounding like a total douchebag, cuddling with her was pretty close to heaven. Her petite body fits against mine like she was made for me. Yeah, lame; but also, true.
"Okay." I give her another once over before nodding. "Yeah, let's do it."
Blue squeals and does a little happy dance. It's probably my new favorite thing based solely off of the way it makes her tits jiggle.
"Are you staring at my boobs?" Blue asks, catching me in the act.
"One-hundred percent."
"I hear there's a nude beach..." Her eyes twinkle with mirth.
“Fuck no." I shake my head.
"So, you don't wanna see 'em?"
I prowl around the bed until we're standing toe-to-toe. "Baby doll. I want to see them, touch them, lick them, suck them, and fuck them."
"So, what's the p-problem?" she asks, losing some of her bravado.
My eyes dip down to her chest and a grin steals over my face at the sight of her rapid breaths and pebbled nipples. "These tits..." I reach out and drag my index finger along the edge of her camisole. "They're mine, for me. My eyes only. You got that?"
The logical side of my brain is shouting at me to chill out on the possessive caveman routine, but fuck if I can.
Blue ignites every jealous and possessive trait I have. Who cares if I’ve only known her for days? Who cares if we're both here on vacation and set to return to our normal lives in a matter of days?She is mine.
She draws her bottom lip into her mouth as she nods, her eyes roaming hungrily over my shirtless body. "We could just stay in again today?"
"Nope. You wanted to go snorkeling, so that's what we're doing."
"Well, I also want to fuck you, so..."
The way she moves from sweet and shy to sexy vixen amuses me to no end. I imagine there's never a dull moment in life with Blue. It makes me wonder what her idiot ex did to mess things up, because if I had a woman like her, I'd lock that shit down so fast.
"There's plenty of time for all of the activities on our itinerary. Now, get changed or we'll miss our boat."
Ever the brat, she rolls her eyes before scampering off to trade her pajamas for what will undoubtedly be another boner-inducing bikini.
"Oh, look!"Blue says, nudging me.
I glance down toward the glass panel at the bottom of the boat. She's been enthralled gazing beneath the surface as we jet out toward the reef, but I've been too busy watching her.
She's enthralling...enchanting...so fucking captivating, that I feel like I'm losing my mind. I'm a one-night stand kind of guy, and have been since high school. And yet, somehow, this woman I hardly know has me wondering what our fucking kids would look like.
And even crazier, the idea doesn't scare me. If anything, I welcome it. The thought of her with my last name and her belly all round... Yeah, that's the exact kind of thing that would've sent me running for the hills before her.
