Page 224 of Sinful Desires
The sound of the waves twisted something in my gut. My spine stiffened, hands flexing uselessly in the sand.
My body went still. Every instinct screamedno.
“I don’t like it, Scarlett.”
“I know, baby,” she said softly. “Let me help you. One day at a time.”
I stared out at the water, watching it crash and roll like it knew what it did to me.
“I chose the Navy for a reason,” I muttered. “Because I didn’t want this shit to own me. I didn’t want fear. So, I made myself live in it.”
Her hand tightened around mine. I didn’t look at her.
“I hate it. The waves. The salt. The fucking pull. I’ve always hated it. But I went anyway. Every time. I fought through it.”
My throat burned. The sun felt cold suddenly, the air too sharp.
“But I can never fucking stay. Not for long.”
She moved in front of me, dropping to her knees in the sand.
“For me,please,” she whispered. “Not because you have to fight it. Not because you have something to prove. But because I want to be in it with you.”
Her fingers brushed my cheek.
“I don’t need you to be fearless, Théo. I just need you to let me in. Let me hold you through it.”
Her voice cracked.
“I want to know what it’s like to swim with you. To be with you in the one place you never let anyone see. Even if it’s just your feet in the water, or your shadow by the shore. I want that part of you too.”
I looked at her. And it fucking hurt.
Because she meant it. All of it.
And no one ever had.
She stayed on her knees in the sand, hands sliding up my thighs with deliberate slowness, eyes locked on mine.
She tilted her head, her lips brushing mine.
“Is this you abusing your powers now?” I muttered, dragging my fingers through her hair.
She smiled against my skin. “Did I beg enough, soldier?”
Her hand slid to my waistband, fingers teasing the line of my abs.
“Or should I show you what begging really sounds like with my mouth wrapped around your cock?”
I grabbed a fistful of her hair, tilting her face up to mine.
“No,mon amour,” I muttered. “I think you can do a whole lot better than that.”
She laughed.
And then she fucking proved it, with her mouth wrapped around my cock as the sand clung to her knees. And then she climbed on top of me, dragging her soaked body over mine.
My hands tore her bikini top off as she rode me fast, tits bouncing in my face while I sucked and bit them raw.
