Todd just laughed, arching his head back and holding his stomach. “Oh, that’s too good.” He could barely breathe, thinking it was comical. “You actually married this insane bitch? I feel sorry for you dude!”
Curtis dropped his board without hesitation and shoved the man backward, forcing him to stumble against a rock and fall to the ground. “Don’t ever talk about her like that again. That is if you value that pretty face of yours.” Curtis snickered, taking Dawn’s hand. He whisked her toward him, wrapping his arm around her slender waist, letting her lips smash into his own.
He kissed her hard and passionately, his tongue making its way into her mouth, taking her by surprise. She felt herself moan into it, her body melting against his own. Her mind was going numb. Her fingers tightened around his muscles, trying to pull herself even closer. Was this all just for show? But as she continued to kiss him, getting lost in his warm lips, she couldn’t help but feel a spark ignite inside her heart.
Todd got up, brushing some sand off his trunks. “You’re digging your own grave, mate.” He shook his head, clearly angry. A tournament official had walked over to them, giving them a suspicious look. “Now let’s see if you can keep up in the water.” He snarled before walking away, a small cut on the back of his foot from where he had tripped over the rock.
“Did you see the look on his face?” Dawn eagerly asked, still pinned in his arms, her heart racing and her face flushed. A soft breeze came between them, fluttering the hem of her dress.
“Yeah. He’s totally messed up.” Curtis grinned ear to ear. “This will be a piece of cake.” He leaned down and kissed her once more, only, this time, his lips were quick and fleeting, leaving Dawn wanting more. Her fingertips lingered on his body as he pulled away. “I’ll see you after the qualifiers, my sweet wife.” He winked in her direction, running off toward the other competitors who were now lining up, waiting for their turn on the water.
Dawn laid down on her beach towel and got herself comfortable, never taking her eyes off Curtis. She admired his tan skin. The way his back rippled with muscles. She bit her lip, picturing what it would be like to be in an actual relationship with him. Her mind went wild at the thought of them in bed together, enjoying a night of passion. Her heart sped up and a fire burned between her thighs, causing her cheeks to go crimson. No, this was just a temporary arrangement, she tried to convince herself.
She attempted to keep this in mind as various surfers paddled out into the water, waiting for the perfect wave to show off their skills. Soon enough, both Curtis and Todd were off, being put into the same group by the officials. They were close to each other, shooting daggers at one another. Dawn noticed that they were exchanging some words, but she couldn’t quite read their lips. All she could see was the look of determination on Curtis’ face. She had no doubt he would give it his all.
In the distance, a large, level wave formed and rushed right toward them. The two men steadied themselves, getting ready for their one and only shot of getting into the tournament. As the wave finally rose from the surface, curling at the top, Curtis got up and rode it like it was nothing, leaving Todd in his dust. He looked back as he did a flip, catching his board mid-air and spinning it around, leaving the crowd floored. Dawn, of course, screamed the loudest, impressed by how good he really was.
Todd quickly stepped up his game, diving through the pipe and coming out, performing a strange zig-zag motion that didn’t get half the applause Curtis got as he flew over Todd and landed right in front of him, splashing him with water. Dawn’s voice was getting hoarse from cheering so loudly, her eyes bright with excitement.
The wave finally pulled them back to shore. “Todd Jackson, Amanda Pembroke, John O’Malley, and Curtis Shawn will all be heading to round one!” The announcer shouted to the crowd. Dawn exploded with her loudest scream of the day.
***
Curtis smiled brightly, holding up his board above his head. He glanced at Todd who was glowering with hatred after the humiliation he had just faced. He was about to walk past Dawn on his way to the parking lot, when Curtis rushed forward, scooping her off the ground and into his arms, kissing her hard.
Dawn felt herself blush at his suddenness, but then noticed it had caught Todd’s attention. “Thanks for cheering me on baby.” He said, loud enough for Todd to hear.
“Anything for you.” Dawn cooed, playing into their whole act. She giggled loudly when he spun her around, kissing her forehead this time.
“What do you say we go to The Oceanaire to celebrate? My treat.”
Todd just shook his head, leaving them alone. He couldn’t take any more of this. There was a dark glimmer in his eye as if he were up to no good.
“You want to take me to The Oceanaire? Isn’t that place extremely expensive?” Dawn asked, a little bewildered. She looked into his dark eyes, trying to figure out if he was being serious. “Oh wait… did you just say that because of Todd?” Suddenly, she was a little crestfallen, biting the corner of her lip.
“No. I really do want to take you. Shall I pick you up at seven?” He asked.
“I need your number first.”
“Oh right.” He laughed.
Dawn quickly fished out her phone, eager to have the handsome surfer’s number. She gave it to him, letting him put in his information.
“Here you go. But I have to go now. Another meeting with my dad this afternoon.”
Dawn frowned, watching him go. Her heart ached at his departure, wishing he could stay with her a little bit longer. She wanted to feel his arms around her waist again. His lips on hers just one more time. He finally disappeared out of sight, leaving Dawn to try and settle her thoughts on her own. Was she falling for this man?
***
Dawn checked herself out in the mirror, trying to make sure everything was perfect. She had styled her hair in soft curls, in a nice half updo. Two especially bouncy curls framed her soft face, giving her an angelic look. She tried to calm her nerves. In all honesty, she couldn’t understand why she was all jittery. It wasn’t like her to act this way. She was usually so confident and sure about herself, but now, just the thought of going out to dinner with this man was enough to turn her into a giddy schoolgirl.
The doorbell rang and she nearly jumped out of her skin. She carefully made her way down the stairs and opened the door.
Curtis was standing there, holding a small bouquet of roses, a dazzling smile on his face. “My, you look stunning.” He looked her over, his heart kick-starting in his chest.
She was wearing a very flattering, light blue dress that somehow made her eyes stand out even more. She had a light amount of makeup on her face, just enough to underline her already incredible beauty.
Curtis could feel his hormones rage through his body, making his mind numb with attraction. Never before had he seen a girl so gorgeous in his entire life.
“Oh…thank you.” Dawn finally managed to stammer, grabbing the flowers and taking a whiff. “These are lovely… Let me put them in some water and we can get going.” Her cheeks matched the color of the roses as she whisked off toward the kitchen, thinking about how handsome Curtis looked in his dark colored suit. Her hips swayed to and fro. Curtis followed her movements, licking his lips ever so slightly. How had he not noticed just how beautiful she was on the day she had saved him?
Dawn eventually reemerged and followed Curtis to his Porsche. He opened the door for her like a perfect gentleman, a smile on his face. He got in the car seconds later and they were off, cruising through the roads at a comfortable speed. Dawn eased herself into the genuine leather seats and grinned to herself, finally managing to relax a bit. They made small pleasant chatter, filling the silence between them.
“Here we are,” Curtis announced, pulling up next to the sidewalk and handing his car keys over to the valet. He walked over and helped Dawn out of the car, holding onto her dainty hand and leading her inside the fancy restaurant. Dawn had never been inside such a luxurious place before. The waiters all wor
e white gloves and black vests. The food was heavily garnished. Every table had its own bottle of wine, waiting for the customers. “This place is insane…” Dawn whispered more to herself than Curtis.
“Well, I wouldn’t want to cut any corners with my new wife, now would I?” He winked in her direction, pulling out her seat for her as they finally got to their table. “I wanted to impress her.” He gave her a pearly-white smile and then looked through the menu. “Feel free to order anything you’d like. My treat, as I said before.”
Dawn nodded, looking through the menu. Everything was at least fifty dollars a plate. She had no idea what to choose. There were no pictures to guide her and the font was incredibly hard to read. In the end, she settled for a nice prime steak. She savored every bite, still feeling a little stunned about where she was and who she was with. Was she really having a date with the heir to Shawnee Motors?
“Shall we head home for the second part of our date?” Curtis suddenly asked with a glint in his eyes like he was up to something.
“Oh?” Dawn exclaimed, wondering what he had in mind.
***
Dawn was in a daze as they walked through the immaculate home. The walls were a pearly beige color. The living room had a vaulted ceiling. The hallways were lined with a long, Persian carpet. The furniture was high-end and extremely comfortable. The kitchen alone was the size of Dawn’s apartment. “You actually live here?” Dawn gasped, as they stepped into the parlor.
“Yes. My father is out of town, so I have it all to myself. Nice, isn’t it?” He walked over to a mobile bar and pulled out a sparkling bottle of champagne. “Can I offer you a glass?” He asked.
She quickly nodded. She had sunk into a nearby sofa, feeling the incredibly soft, plush cushions underneath her. She couldn’t keep her eyes off the decorations, from expensive vases to crystal chandeliers. This home was like nothing she had ever seen before. It was almost impossible to believe that someone actually lived there. That someone had the money to afford all this.
“Here you are.” Curtis gave her a delicate, crystal glass that she held in her fingers, trying not to break it. She could tell that the glass alone was probably worth more than her rent. She kept reminding herself to be extra careful with it.
“Come with me, I want to show you something.” He whispered, grabbing her hand and guiding her toward a spiral staircase. The railing was made of pure Brazilian wood and shone with a freshly polished look.
Dawn did her best not to trip as she followed him up to the top floor and then down a long, winding hallway. Soon enough, they approached a door. He opened it, the dimness of the lights playing against his face, casting shadows that made him look even more handsome that usual. Dawn’s heart quickened and her fingers tightened around her glass.
Curtis squeezed her hand, pulling her through his bedroom. The bed was huge. Dawn stared at it a moment, noticing its California King size. The four posters were made of a dark wood and decorated with an ornate carving. The rest of the room was decorated with similar furniture, creating a unique atmosphere.
He suddenly let go of her hand. It dropped to her side, making her feel somehow empty. She bit her lip and watched as he opened a set of French Doors. A soft breeze rolled in, playing with the curtains, swishing by their feet. He grabbed her hand once more and led her onto the balcony.
Dawn gasped as she witnessed the view. They could see the whole city from there. “It’s beautiful!” She gasped, taking in the skyline. She could see all the way downtown, with its plethora of skyscrapers. The twinkling lights of late night establishments. Cars whizzing by on the highway in the distance. But best of all, she could see the ocean in its push and pull fashion, crashing against the shore. She could just about hear its relaxing lullaby in the air.
Curtis moved behind her, wrapping his arms around her waist. “Not as beautiful as you.”
***
Dawn’s heart fluttered in her chest at his words. She looked up at him, biting her lip. “Do you mean that?” Her voice was barely audible over the lull of the ocean.
Curtis just smiled warmly at her, leaning down until their lips pressed together. He rested his hand on the small of her back, pulling her close until their hips locked together. Dawn’s heart skipped a beat, her palms becoming sweaty as she thought about where this could go. All of a sudden, his hands moved to her hips, swaying her back and forth as if they were dancing. Naturally, Dawn rested her head on his chiseled chest, hearing the rhythmic thumping of his heart.
They stayed like this for a little while as Curtis began humming a soft tune while they waltzed around the balcony like they were the last two people on earth. Dawn had never felt this way in her life. She felt like she never wanted this moment to end.
Suddenly, however, Curtis stopped, peering down into her crystal blue eyes, making her shiver. He grabbed her hand and pulled her back inside toward the bed. She didn’t say a word as he picked her up and placed her on the mattress before gently crawling on top of her, his body now straddling over hers. “You’re so beautiful…” he murmured, letting his lips run along her slender neck, down to her collarbone. His fingertips ran down her body, pulling up the hem of her dress, exposing her milky white thighs.
Dawn shuddered, feeling his electrifying touch on her inner thighs, driving her into a frenzy. She bit her lip and arched her back, her body already giving itself up to this man. Her legs spread open on their own at his touch. He smirked, seeing how eager she was. He leaned down and kissed her lovely pink lips, tugging on the bottom one, teasing her gently.
As he distracted her, his fingertips danced up her thighs toward her panties, pulling them to the side ever so slowly. His lips moved down to the hollow of her neck, sucking on her skin, eliciting a small moan from between her lips. Her moans got louder as Curtis’ fingers ran along her slit, teasing her ever so gently.
She bucked her hips and clutched the sheets, her mind already buzzing with pleasure. The man had barely touched her, but he was already driving her utterly crazy with lust. “Curtis…” She moaned, unable to say anything else. It was like her words were stuck halfway up her throat.
“Yes, my sweet?” He asked, one of his fingers slipping inside of her, slowly hooking back and forth making her shiver in pleasure. “Do you like that?” He asked, a grin on his lips as he saw her face start to glow with pleasure. “I think you do…” He whispered in her ear when she didn’t respond.
He continued to toy with her now puffy clit, flicking it back and forth, watching as her juices ran down her pussy and onto the bed sheets, getting them completely soaked. His other hand worked on unbuttoning his pants, pulling them down his hips. Finally, he was able to free his cock, now rock hard in his hand. The look of her sexy body alone had been enough to make him hard throughout the night. Now, with her dress hiked all the way up and her bright red panties on display, she was simply too much to resist. With a flick of his wrist, he managed to rip her panties right off her body, tossing them to the side.
He took in the sight of her bare pussy and smirked in satisfaction. He leaned down and ran his tongue over her smooth mound, letting the tip of his tongue run over her clit, tasting her sweet nectar for the first time. “You taste so sweet, my dear.” He grinned at her, licking his lips and then diving down for seconds, plunging his tongue deep inside of her, determined to taste her from the source.
He reached up and pulled down her strapless dress, exposing her sizeable chest. Her tits were covered in goose bumps, her nipples hard little nubs. His fingers wrapped around them, giving them a forceful tug, making her moan out loudly. She arched her back, her hands tightening around the bed sheets even harder. Curtis continued to tease her, getting her nipples nice and tender while his tongue continued teasing her pussy, making her beg for more. He could already feel her pussy quivering with pleasure, her body yearning for him.
His cock twitched between his legs, his balls tightening in anticipation. A rush of hormones and lust swarmed his body as he watched her sm
all, dainty fingers move over her pussy, teasing herself. He couldn’t control himself.
With his eyes blurred over with desire, he placed his hands on her hips, pulling her a little closer before he rammed into her, forcing himself balls-deep. They froze in each other’s embrace for a moment. Dawn’s whole body was on edge. She could feel every single one of her nerve endings coming alive with pleasure. She screamed out, the sound of her ecstasy filling the entire room. She clung onto Curtis, her nails digging into his back as he started to move his hips. The feeling of his cock deep inside of her was the best thing she had ever experienced. She could feel his every vein pressing against the slick walls of her pussy. “Oh God!” she cried out.
Curtis grinned at her reaction, his fingers tightening around her hips as he started to thrust in and out of her, harder and harder, until Dawn was moaning out at the top of her lungs, screaming for more. Her mind was numb with pleasure. “Curtis!” she screamed. “I’m going to cum.”
“Cum for me.” He ordered, his voice husky and breathless in her ear as he continued to pound her for all he was worth. Dawn couldn’t hold back her desire any longer, her whole body shaking as wave after wave of pleasure washed over her. Her juices flowed out of her like a river, coating Curtis’ dick until he felt his balls tighten and he knew he couldn’t control himself anymore. He groaned loudly, his fingers digging into her supple flesh as he had the best orgasm of his life.
Unable to move a muscle, he collapsed on top of her, smiling ear to ear. “That was amazing…” He whispered, nibbling her lobe. Dawn could only nod. She couldn’t believe what had just happened. All she knew for sure was that she was falling for this man. She couldn’t deny it any longer.
***
The next day at work, all Dawn could think about was Curtis. As she sat in her lifeguard post, she replayed the events from the previous night. He had been so romantic, making her feel like the only woman in the world.
Images of his body flooded her mind, with his impossibly sexy muscles, piercing eyes, and naughty fingertips roaming all over her. He had made her feel so good. She still had a hard time believing it had actually happened. She bit her lip, imagining what it would be like if they had the energy for a second round. Maybe he would have pressed his face into her large bosom, moving his lips all over her breasts, making her beg for more, her nipples getting harder and harder. Maybe she would have tasted his manhood, her mouth moving up and down his hard shaft, making him moan out her name, his fingers tangled into her hair, tugging at it any time her tongue flicked back and forth along his underside.
