���No silk and bows tonight love, it���s been far too long, I need to be wrapped in you Em. Tell me that���s alright, show me you need this as much as I do,��� Brody closed his eyes in silent prayer.
Emma kissed him slowly, sliding her tongue on top of his gently, softly, slowly.
His hand rubbed gently down her side and between her legs, ���So soft, like silk, and wet with desire. Fuck…I want you so bad Em.���
���Then have me,��� Emma moaned as his finger entered her, ���Oh damn.���
Brody positioned himself above her and slowly entered her. His face hardened revealing restraint. Emma pulled back.
���Are you alright Em?��� Brody let out a guttural groan as he fell out of her, and he clenched his jaw.
���I���m fine, but I really don���t want to see you holding back for me,��� Emma got up and pushed him down on his back, ���So I���m going to fuck you until I can’t anymore and you���re going to lay there and watch without restraint. When you’re ready to come, Brody, I want to feel your big cock twitch as it fills me completely.���
���Damn it, Emma,��� his jaw clenched.
���Shut up, Music Man,��� Emma said as she mounted him.
���You are so fucking hot Em,��� he pushed into her and groaned.
���And I���m about to rock your world, Music Man,��� she said and licked her lips.
Brody clenched his teeth and hissed as she slowly moved down taking almost all of him. He grasped the sheets hard. His knuckles turned white as Emma arched back, holding herself up with her hands on his knees as she bounced up and down on him hard and fast.
���Oh God, ahhhh,��� Emma started to fall into him.
Brody sat up quickly and kissed her as she moaned into his mouth. He held her tightly to his body and pumped wildly into her until he finished.
���Em,��� he whispered as he leaned back into the bed taking her. She continued circling him with her hips.
���You’re purring Em,��� he kissed her neck. ���You need to finish, huh?���
���Shh,��� she smiled and slowly continued to move.
Brody flipped her on her back and kissed her. She opened her eyes and gasped. He swiftly spread her knees with his and pushed two fingers into her hard. He watched her eyes roll slightly, and she bit her lip.
���So fucking wet, a nice mixture of me and you, Love,��� he kissed her breast and nipped at her pebbled nipples, ���Such a magical combination.���
Her body tensed as his fingers moved faster, ���I wonder how we taste?���
Brody licked her sweet spot and sucked gently as he hummed, ���Mmm, so good.���
The vibration of his lips pushed her over the edge. Emma grabbed his hair and pushed into him, and her body fell apart.
���Much better, Love,��� he laid next to her and kissed her as she tried to regain composure, ���You look so fucking hot when you���re coming down.���
Emma opened her eyes and smiled, ���I feel wonderful.���
���I can attest to that,��� he kissed her and smiled.
���You feel amazing,��� she smiled back.
���You should feel us together, I did, and it was magic Em,��� he grinned.
Emma blushed and closed her eyes, ���I love you more.���

Maddox stood by the water and watched the moon���s reflection shimmer as he breathed in the sea���s air.
���Sneaking out again?��� Harper asked nudging him.
���Yes, it���s so beautiful out here,��� he glanced at her and smiled, ���Peaceful.���
���I use to sneak out at night and swim. Well I thought I was sneaking out, but Tomas knew,��� she giggled.
���You swam at night?��� Maddox asked.
���Best time to swim, want to try it out?��� Harper smiled broadly.
���How would we get past the security alarms?��� Maddox asked.
���I know the code. Why, do you truly want to?��� Harper clapped and jumped up and down.
Maddox laughed, ���Sure Harper.���
���Cool, I���ll go turn it off, but we have to be quick,��� Harper headed to the house and turned and smiled, ���Get ready.���
Maddox watched as she ran out, ���Okay we have fifteen minutes tops, come on buddy!���
Harper threw her shirt over her head and took her shorts of and looked up and smiled, ���Hurry up.���
Maddox looked at her and quickly away.
���Oh sorry. Damn now I know how Eve felt,��� Harper covered her bra and panties with her hands.
Maddox laughed and took his shirt off, ���Then I will experience what Adam did. This is odd, you know.���
���Think about it, swimwear is more revealing,��� Harper looked up at him, ���Hey Maddox, you can keep the underwear.���
���Oh, sorry, I didn���t������ Maddox nervously pulled up his boxers up.
���Hey Maddox, don���t get all funky on me. We���re friends right? No big deal,��� Harper smiled and turned towards the water, shook her head slightly, and let out a breath.
She swam underwater and surfaced as he stood scowling and looking for her.
���I���m here,��� she splashed him.
���Well don���t do that, I didn���t know where you were,��� he said quietly and swam towards her.
���It���s nice out here, huh?��� Harper smiled.
���Amazing,��� he looked up in wonder at the stars, ���The sky is so clear, the moon���s reflection on the sea is a sight to behold.���
Harper smiled, ���It is pretty cool.���
They both went deeper and tread water, stealing glances at each other and laughing.
���Should we go back in?��� Maddox asked, ���I think it���s been at least ten minutes.���
���We have time, unless you want to get out,��� Harper looked at him.
���Alright then,��� Maddox smiled softly.
���Do you have a phone, or an email address?��� Harper asked.
���I have some gadgets,��� he smiled. ���Not sure what they do. Harper, I did already tell you this. I would have to ask London ��� she���s a pro.���
Harper laughed, ���We should do that before you leave if you want to keep in touch.���
Maddox looked at her and smiled, ���I would enjoy that.���
���Can I ask what happened to you, these marks on you back?��� Harper touched them softly.
Maddox tried not to flinch, but he could not help it.
���Oh I���m sorry,��� Harper stepped away.
���No, Harper ���you didn���t do this. I was beaten,��� Maddox raised his eyebrow and shook his head.
���I hate whoever did that to you,��� Harper whispered. ���How could anyone do this to you?���
Maddox looked at her curiously.
Harper realized how she was looking at him. She closed her eyes and cleared her throat, ���It���s not right you know. People should never hurt someone else just to feel empowered. It���s sick.���
Maddox closed his eyes and shuddered slightly.
���What about the ones on your upper thighs?��� Harper asked, and he turned away, Harper grabbed his face gently and turned it towards her. ���Maddox, none of this is your fault; it breaks my heart to see������
&nbs
p; ���Harper what do you need to know?��� He pulled away, ���And why do you need to know it?���
���I care about you Maddox we���re friends,��� Harper looked away.
���Why?��� He snapped.
���I see your heart. I see the way you care for the people who love you, and I want to be one of the people you love,��� Harper quickly put her hand over her mouth.
Maddox looked confused, ���Why are you doing this to me? Look at me Harper ��� I���m a mess. I don���t understand all these things. Friendship is a foreign concept to me. I���m trying, but I can���t just…Damn it ��� I leave tomorrow. I won���t have friends. I���ll more than likely end up dead Harper, so just forget������
���Why will you be dead Maddox? They can protect you,��� Harper began crying.
���Please don���t do that. Damn it Harper. Life���s not pretty or perfect. Look at the scars my father wears. My mother���s dead. Emma and my sisters are in danger. I don���t need you in that same position, or anyone else for that matter,��� Maddox wiped her tears away and looked down at her, ���Thank you for being my first friend Harper, but it can���t continue.���
���That���s not how it works! You don���t just stop caring for someone,��� Harper snapped at him.
Maddox looked at her, and his eyebrows rose, ���It���s how it has to be.���
Maddox started to swim away and she grabbed him, ���Why can you so quickly turn off feelings Maddox?���
���I have no choice, Harper,��� Maddox yelled.
���I want you to be my first kiss,��� Harper demanded.
���Why?���
���It won’t be awkward. I won’t see you again. So if I suck at it, no one will know. I trust you,��� Harper put her hands on her hips. She realized she was going about it all wrong but she desperately wanted him to stop being angry at her, to trust her, to love her.
���No, Harper, a kiss shouldn���t be rushed, it should be savored, enjoyed, and special,��� Maddox said softly.
���I just want it over with,��� Harper rolled her eyes.
���How silver sweet sound lovers��� tongues by night, like softest music to attending ears, William Shakespeare,��� Maddox repeated a revered phrase.
���Shakespeare?��� Harper asked confused, ���You���re quoting Shakespeare?���
���Yes,��� Maddox smiled and then whispered, ���Attending ears Harper.���
Harper stepped back and looked at the beach. Brody and Emma stood looking at them.
���Em, not going to happen in the water huh?��� Brody chuckled.
���No, and now you have to be angry Dad, or at least stern,��� Emma smiled at him.
���Maddox, Harper, get in here,��� Brody yelled and looked at Emma and whispered, ���Stern enough Em?���
Emma smiled, ���Good job Big Daddy.���
Brody gasped, ���Emma, are you flirting with me at such an inopportune time?���
Emma winked, ���Sure am.���
Maddox and Harper walked out of the water.
���What are you two doing?��� Emma asked shaking her head.
���Just swimming,��� Harper stood with her hands on her hips in defensive stance and Maddox looked at her and realized he could nearly see through undergarments.
Maddox gasped.
Brody looked at Harper, and then at Maddox, who was still staring. Brody quickly covered Maddox eyes and closed his own.
Emma looked at them and back at Harper, ���Harper take my towel and cover yourself please.���
Harper looked down and saw what had caused Maddox and Brody to react like they did.
���Holy shit,��� Harper gasped and took the towel and wrapped it around herself.
Maddox laughed and Harper smacked him.
Brody let go of Maddox and looked at Emma, ���Is she decent?���
���Yes,��� Emma said trying not to laugh.
Maddox laughed harder, and Harper slugged him in the arm.
���We were just swimming, I didn���t know������ Harper looked at Emma and then at Brody, ���I���m sorry.���
Maddox laughed still harder, ���Would you shut up?���
���What?��� Harper snapped at him.
Maddox couldn���t stop the smile from creeping across his face.
���Good God, Maddox,��� Harper covered her face.
���Maddox ��� enough,��� Emma said softly.
���Harper, why don���t you go inside and get to bed?��� Brody said nicely.
Maddox started walking in, and Brody grabbed his arm, ���Not you, kiddo.���
Emma and Brody watched as Maddox tried to keep a straight face.
���She didn���t look like that in the water,��� Maddox informed them.
���Okay, what happened?��� Brody asked.
Maddox told them that he was looking at the water that it calmed him and he would miss it. She came out and suggested that they swim.
���That���s it?��� Brody asked.
���Yes. Do I have text messaging or email?��� Maddox asked.
���We can set it up��� Brody smiled.
���Good. I like her, and not because of how she appears,��� Maddox grinned, ���I mean she���s beautiful but I like her friendship.���
���I���m glad you have a friend, and I���m also really glad there will be some distance between you two,��� Emma said, ���Let���s go to bed.���
`***
���Maddox,��� she whispered shaking him lightly.
���I���m awake Harper,��� Maddox sat up.
���I have something for you,��� Harper smiled and sat him and sat next to him, ���Give me your wrist.���
She didn���t wait for his reply she grabbed his hand and tied something around it.
He looked down, ���What���s this for?���
���I have traveled a lot and have only met a few true friends, many of which I can’t communicate with because of language barriers or the fact that I may never see them again. There are some symbols that represent friendship that I have learned through different people and cultures; I wanted you to have something, so you didn���t forget we were friends. So I made this,��� Harper smiled. ���Woven bracelets are a universal symbol, but started with the Native Americans. It���s said that if you take it off you���re breaking that bond. But if it falls off due to the fact you have worn it so long you are entitled to a wish that will come true. Its blue, the color is like the ocean, which you seem to like. I put tiny silver beads in it, some engraved. The pineapple is symbolic of friendship in many cultures. When hosts of dinner parties topped their food with the top of a pineapple it honored their guests. The crossing arrows are also a sign of friendship. The topaz is a sign of friendship that will last forever and is said to help with courage, happiness, intelligence, and protects against injury. The cross kind of voids all of that because it���s the true sign of love, and starting new,��� Harper let go of the bracelet and looked up and smiled.
���Well thank you, but���I wish I had something to give to you,��� Maddox looked annoyed.
���Accepting this is the only gift I need,��� Harper smiled.
Maddox looked at her, smiled, and whispered ���Thank you.���
Harper started to stand.
���Wait���I guess I have
something���if you still want it.��� Maddox said.
Harper looked confused.
���I���ve never done this so just sit still,��� Maddox squinted his eyes tight and let out a breath, ���Don���t move,��� Maddox opened his eyes and cupped her chin in his hand.
���Oh Maddox you don���t have to, not if it makes you uncomfortable������ Harper stopped talking as he slowly curiously rubbed his thumb across her lips.
���Shh, please,��� he sat up on his knees and pulled her up gently.
Harper felt her heart beating against her chest, and she closed her eyes quickly.
His hands gently touched the side of her cheeks. She felt him release a hot breath against her face and knew he was close.
Maddox lifted her chin slightly and very gently kissed her lips. He closed his eyes and opened his lips slightly and covered hers. Harper let out a sweet, little moan. He felt her hands on his shoulders. He kissed her again. Harper opened her mouth to let out a breath and felt his body sagging and pulling away from her.
Maddox kissed her gently again. His lips covered hers and then hers covered his. He hunched his back like a scared cat, ensuring that the connection was their lips only. The tortured feeling, too quickly was turning to pleasure. It felt good to kiss her. Aside from the loving kisses he had just recently experienced with Brody, Emma, and the girls he had never experienced anything like this before. It felt wonderful. Too wonderful. He opened his eyes and took her face between his hands and pulled away.
Harper looked up at him as he was searching her eyes for an answer to the question in his mind ��� was it enjoyable for her as well?
Her face was flushed, and her eyes sparkled and danced in his. He slowly released her face, and they both stared at each other.
Harper smiled. Maddox closed his eyes and sat back against the wall.
���No big deal right?��� Harper whispered.
Maddox quickly looked up at her and scowled.
���No, it was nice Maddox, real nice, but it���s not like the world changed because of it…did it?��� Harper looked at him.
���No Harper, no big deal,��� Maddox looked down.
���I didn���t mean it like that,��� Harper said sadly.
