When we were finally pulling into the parking lot of Thrills and Spills, the electric energy was buzzing all over me. We were greeted with a sprawling image of their headlining attraction, a massive rollercoaster called The Underworld that spanned from one side of the theme park to the other and featured a terrifying, upside-down trip through a submerged segment of the ride. My stomach bottomed out looking at the cars at the top of the coaster taking almost a straight vertical dip from the summit of the ride above the theme park sign, and down until they were disappearing beneath the earth.
Harry pulled into a parking spot and turned off his bike, looking back over his shoulder at me as he did it. “I can’t wait to ride that fucking thing.”
“You and me both,” I screeched. “Let’s go!”
After getting tickets at the front gate, we passed into the bustling amusement park. There was jubilant music barely audible over the distant screams and hums of people chattering all around. Harry took my hand and locked our fingers together, kissing the back of my hand as he did it, and my heart leaped. I closed my eyes for a quick moment to resolve myself.
I could not get caught up in Harry the way I tended to.
I’d even packed a picture of my dad in my purse to keep me on the right track. Harry had a way of striking right to my center, and if I wasn’t careful, I’d find myself getting swept up in enjoying the day and forget my goal: to find a way to destroy Harry.
“Okay, do we just head straight to The Underworld to start out?” Harry asked. “It’s probably got a long wait time, and if we start out there, we can double back for a second ride before we leave.”
“Absolutely,” I said with a laugh, and we were off.
I’d look for a way to destroy Harry for sure, but I was going to enjoy some amazing rides while I searched.
As expected, the wait time for The Underworld was close to an hour. I knew it’d be worth it because just as we were approaching, a group of people were deboarding the ride, and at least half of them turned around and got right back in line. It made my skin sizzle with anticipation. Harry pulled me into the line, and once we had moved far enough that we weren’t constantly walking and more standing, he brought me around to stand in front of him. He wrapped his arms around my stomach and dropped his head to my face to give me a kiss on the cheek. On instinct, I turned my head so that the kiss would strike me on the lips instead. I burned at the gentle feeling of his tongue brushing just against my bottom lip before we parted.
He smiled as he pulled away. “You tricked me.”
“You act as if you don’t like it,” I replied.
He shook his head. “I’m not acting like that at all. I liked it. Let’s do it again.”
He leaned in and kissed me again, and then I leaned my head back against his shoulder as we slowly crawled our way through the line. We discussed a few different things during our wait, including everything going on at the club with the expansion.
In an attempt to keep myself from gettingtooattached to Harry, I was choosing not to tell him too much about myself, but I found that I loved watching him talk just as much, so it wasn’t really helping. If I was going to find some way to destroy Harry, I was going to need to do it soon. Being with him felt too good, and within the hour that we had to wait to ride The Underworld, I’d completely lost sight of my mission and was just happily enjoying my date.
The Underworld was as terrifying and exhilarating as we’d expected, and the fun continued. From tilt-a-whirls, to rollercoasters, to flying swings rides, Harry and I did loops around the park, riding everything we could get to. We stopped for food here and there, but we were like children in that we barely wanted to stop long enough for anything other than the rides.
About two hours into our trip, Harry managed to convince me to get on the slow-moving boat ride through one of the mountains that the theme park was built at the base of. It didn’t seem like his speed, but once we were on the ride, he slid close to me and kissed me on the lips before quickly moving down to my neck.
“Do you think they have cameras watching this ride?” he asked in a dark, seductive tone, and heat seared through my body instantly.
He didn’t wait for a response, but instead ran a hand up my leg, under the base of my shorts. Gathering the gist of where he was going, I threw my leg over his and moved my hand over to start undoing the button of his jeans. The ride was just long enough for giving one another hand jobs.
Or so we thought.
Harry had already pulled an orgasm out of me, but my divided attention left me behind the ball bringing him to one. We could see the light of the end of the ride approaching, and it was looking like I wasn’t gonna get him to the end before the ride ended it for us.
“Just stop before we get caught,” he huffed as I pulled.
“Nope, you started it,” I replied, then after looking around to make sure no staff were watching us immediately, I bent over and closed my mouth over him.
In the back of my mind, getting him finished before we re-emerged into the light of the day was key, so I moved at a fast pace. His hands found the back of my head, and after already getting him close with my hands, it didn’t take long. I enjoyed the taste of him for as long as I could before he let out a quiet groan and exploded in my mouth. I made sure I’d properly cleaned my mess before coming up, then tucked him away and buttoned his pants. Our boat coasted back into the light and my heart was beating faster than it ever had. Wejustmade it.
“Holy shit,” I said, setting my hand to my mouth and laughing. “I’ve never done anything like that before.”
He fell out laughing next to me. “I didnotplan for you to go down on me.” He started to smack his own face. “Fuck. I need to stop thinking about it or I’m gonna be walking around hard the rest of the night.”
Neither Harry nor I could stop laughing as the ride docked back at the start and we were released from the boat. We took the fact that we weren’t approached by any security guards as confirmation that we hadn’t been caught being naughty, and linked hands to make our way to the next ride. Harry dragged me to him and wrapped his hand around my waist and gave me a kiss on the forehead. It was almost unfair how happy I was.
I’d never had so much fun in my entire life.
“Celia?”
I looked over my shoulder and there was a group of people walking in the opposite direction. They turned to face me, and I noticed it was a bunch of my friends from college, including Laura. She hadn’t mentioned going to the theme park, but then again, neither had I.
