I headed toward the shore, sticking to the shadows between the inn and the cottage as I took inventory of the activity level. I knew there were more people checked in this week and it was a lot livelier. From the treed area, I could see a handful of people on one of the ground-level patios, sitting, drinking, laughing. Over on the main deck was another large group, and they appeared to be roasting marshmallows over a fire pit, even though the day had been hot and it hadn’t cooled down much when the sun set. As I walked down the grassy slope, I noted a couple on the loungers on the side opposite the docks.

Thinking there wasn’t much privacy at all, I turned my attention to the docks, scanning the darkness for Ava. I spotted her in nearly the same place she’d been a few days ago when I’d brought donuts, and I coached my pulse to calm the hell down as I went toward her.

She turned toward me once I stepped onto the dock. I roved my eyes over her in a glance as she stood. She wore short shorts, a light-colored tank that hugged her torso, and slip-on sneakers without socks. Her hair blew in the breeze, and her smile nearly knocked me on my knees.

“Hey, handsome,” she said.

“Hi, Ava.” Since there were folks behind us who could see us, I waited for a cue from her as to how cozy she wanted our greeting to be. She closed the last step between us and wrapped her arms around my neck in a hug, so I pulled her body against mine and lifted her. When I let her body slide back down mine, the contact set all my nerves at attention and made my dick go hard. “Fuck, you feel good,” I said into her ear, knowing voices could carry over the water a hell of a lot louder than you ever expected.

“Mmm,” she said, stretching up to meet my mouth in a too-brief kiss.

I took her hand. “Come on.”

“Where?”

“Trust me.”

She glanced up at the people on the deck.

“Are you working right now?” I asked.

Ava shook her head. “Magnolia’s here until Deshon comes in.”

“Then come with me.”

“Well, let’s go then,” she said in a flirty voice. “What are you waiting for?”

Grinning, I yanked our entwined hands and led her off the docks. When we hit land, I took a right and headed away from the inn. The shore here was a narrow stretch of sand for maybe one or two hundred yards, then it got rockier and covered with grasses and bushes and trees. At least it had back in the days when we’d been together. I hadn’t had reason to explore this wild section of land since we’d broken up.

“Are you going where I think you’re going?” Ava asked as she walked slightly behind me so neither of us had to get our shoes wet.

“Want you to myself.” Naked. Panting. Biting my shoulder to keep from yelling out my name.

“I’m down for that.”

We hit the end of the sand, and the going got slower through the vegetation, but we both kept moving like our lives depended on it. Hiking through that crap with a hard-on to end all hard-ons was not a comfortable undertaking. The only thing that kept me stepping forward was the hope that relief would come soon.

The shore curved around into a cove of sorts, and once we were there, I searched for the sandy spot I’d once been able to get to practically with my eyes closed. Ava knew exactly where I was heading, and I soon felt her pulling at my hand.

“It’s over here,” she said.

We were on top of it by the time I saw the small patch of sand, the surrounding brush a lot thicker than it had been before.

“You come here often?” I asked in a cheesy, pickup-line voice.

Ava let out a musical laugh as she turned to face me and pulled me flush with her body. “I did a couple blue moons ago. Always with you.” She stood on her toes and pressed a quick kiss to my lips. “Only you.”

I wrapped my arms around her and bent down to kiss her good and full, showing her how much I wanted her, not that she needed any encouragement. She ran her hands up under my shirt, shoving the tee I’d changed into before leaving work up to my neck. Putting a few inches between us, I reached back between my shoulder blades, grabbed the fabric, yanked it off, and tossed it to the ground, then tugged the waistband of her shorts toward me and gave her tank the same treatment.

Within thirty seconds, we stood there naked in the moonless night, our mouths going after each other, hands all over. I palmed the globes of her ass and lifted her off the ground, then waded into the lake. The water was refreshing but not what I’d call cool. It could’ve been icy and it wouldn’t have slowed me down tonight.

Ava’s legs flew around my waist, her ankles locking at the small of my back, pressing her damp heat to my groin and making my eyes roll back in my head. She ground her pelvis into me, moaning low and so fucking hot that I no longer cared whether our bodies were submerged before I entered her sweet, slick heat.

I managed to get us thigh-deep in the water before she slid just right and impaled herself on my cock.

“Cash,” she breathed out as if relieved.

I was too, for about six seconds, then I needed more, needed to feel that friction, needed relief from that incredible pressure.
