Forever.

Her hips rock against me and I groan. My dick hasn’t seen this much action inyearsand while he’d love to make up for lost time—wild and fast until she’s screaming—it’s not what I need.

“Sunshine,” I moan as she drags her tongue down the column of my throat and I knead her ass in my hands. The scrap of lace covering her pussy is one gentle tug from being torn from her body.

“Yes,” she breathes the word into my ear. “Whatever you want, the answer is yes.”

I stand with her in my arms and walk to the shore before dropping into the sand. She straddles my lap and pushes me back onto the wet sand, the aqua-colored lace of her bra darker than usual.

My fingers make quick work of opening the clasp and stripping it from her body. I palm her tits, kneading and massaging them while sucking each nipple into my mouth as she grinds against me.

“Ride me, baby,” I manage as I switch from lavishing one side to the other.

The sand is hard against my back and guaranteed to leave a mark by the time this is done, but I’m here for it.

I crave seeing her come undone and the absolute high of knowing she’ll get herself off on my dick—using me for her pleasure.

Pulling my length through the front of my boxers, she slides her panties to the side and then meets my gaze as she slides so fucking slowly down my shaft.

“Fuck, Sunshine, you feel so good.”

“I’m not going to last.” The words are a panting breath as she swivels her hips and then slams herself down onto me. I groan with each deliberate movement she makes. “Sorren, I need—”

Gripping her ass, I hold her in place as I thrust up into her. I know what she needs, and I’m willing to give it to her every damn time. Her eyes squeeze shut as her walls flutter around me and I suck her nipple into my mouth before lashing it with my tongue.

She screams my name, her body shaking as she rides out her release—the tightening of her pussy around my cock sending me over the edge just as fast.

It’s everything I need in this moment.

It’s everything I need always.

And it’s every word I don’t know how to say.

Rhea collapses against my chest, our bodies slick with the water and rain and us. Her hair is a beautiful mess, sand clinging to it unapologetically.

I let my head fall back against the sand and close my eyelids against the rain. I’m not sure I’ve ever felt this at peace in my life.

There’s always been something hanging over my head, something in the periphery, but this—this is what freedom feels like. This is hope and relief and happiness in its truest form.

This is love.

Laughter rumbles low in my chest before bursting from my lips. Rhea picks her head up to stare at me, a smile on her face and her eyes bright with amusement.

I don’t hide my smile as I cup her cheek and pull her toward me, our lips meeting in a sweet and sensual kiss that’s full of a lifetime of promises I intend to keep.

This moment is for us now and forever.

I’ve made love to the woman I plan on marrying in the sand while the rain falls all around us. I hadn’t planned it, hadn’t calculated the risks or had a contingency plan if things went sideways.

I’ve traveled around the world and came home to a second chance at living, but it’s taken the woman in my arms to show me what that truly means.

“I love it when you smile.”

“Better get used to it, Sunshine. It’s here to stay.”

“You’re still going to growl though, right? I love it when you’re all dark and broody and—”

She yelps and then moans as I roll her under me and press her into the sand, my dick already half hard inside her.
