“Why?”
She shrugged. “Because it would have been more embarrassing.”
“Yeah, but girls talk a lot more,” I said as I walked toward the kitchen.
Natalie followed me and stood next to the island in the middle as I put the pizza down.
“Now, she’s going to run off and tell all her friends how she went to Marcus Avery’s house to deliver a pizza, and some guy answered the door in a bikini.”
She laughed as I opened the pizza and took a piece.
“Oh my God, this looks so delicious.” She groaned as she took a slice for herself.
“If I had a nickel for every time I’ve heard that…” I said right before taking a bite.
Natalie smacked me on the arm while the pizza was still in my mouth.
She started laughing again as she backed up and pointed at me. “You’re…you’re,” she said between gasps, “still wearing it.”
Her face was bright red, and she was bent over, when I looked down at my chest.
“I’m hungry!” I said, trying to defend myself.
We both stood in the kitchen, laughing and talking, as we ate our pizza.
It was ten o’clock at night, and I hadn’t even noticed the time passing by. I was having so much fun hanging out with Shaun. I finally had my bikini back on under my sundress, and Shaun and I were sitting on Asia’s back deck, drinking Coronas. We were at the edge of the pool. Like the first night I’d been here, our feet were in the water, and we were looking at the stars in the dark sky above us.
“You ready for some more fun?” Shaun asked, breaking the comfortable silence we’d been sitting in.
I peered over at him, and he gave me that mischievous smile again.
“Maybe.”
“Go skinny-dipping with me.”
My eyes widened, and I looked toward the beach. It was empty. My gaze slid back to Shaun’s, and before I could chicken out, I stood up. Shaun watched me as I lifted my dress over my head. He got to his feet and walked over to the side of the deck where we’d hung our towels. He took them into his hands and tossed one over to me before resting his around the back of his neck.
His eyes moved to mine, and he smirked just before he hooked his thumbs into his boardshorts and pushed them down around his ankles. I’d already seen him naked a few times throughout the day, but it never got old. I could watch him strip naked every day for the rest of my life and never get tired of it.
I stared at his firm ass before I started taking my bikini off. Shaun and I watched each other but didn’t speak. I could feel his gaze as his eyes moved over my body, and I felt myself growing excited. Being naked and this close to him only escalated the sexual tension that always hung in the air.
“I think we’ll be marking something off that never-done list tonight,” Shaun said as he took a step toward me and held up the condom I’d given him.
He lightly ran the pad of his thumb across one of my nipples. It grew harder under his touch, and I sucked in a breath. Shaun bit his bottom lip, and when his eyes met mine, I felt butterflies in my stomach.
I had a feeling that I would be experiencing a lot of firsts with Shaun.
I smiled up at him and then took off running for the stairs as I wrapped the towel around me.
“Last one there is a rotten egg!” I yelled as I took the stairs two at a time, going as fast as I could.
I could hear Shaun right behind me when my feet hit the sand, and I started running. There was no way I would beat him there. He was a lot taller than I was, and he was in better shape. When I heard him coming, I stuck my foot out just in time and caught his ankle with mine. He went flying forward and rolled to his side before he landed on the sand.
I started laughing but kept running until I reached the water. It was freezing cold, and I squealed as the first wave hit my knees. I turned to retreat back to the beach, but Shaun was standing there, waiting for me. He wrapped his big arms around my shoulders, our naked chests pressing together, as he walked in farther. I screamed for him not to do it before he lifted me up and dunked both of us into the cold water.
I stood up, gasping, as I wiped the hair out of my eyes. The water was up to my breasts now. Shaun was standing across from me, smiling, as his eyes searched my face. Just as I opened my mouth to yell at him, his arms wrapped around me again, and his lips came down on mine. He moved one of his hands to the back of my head and pressed our mouths closer together as he slid his tongue into my mouth.
My entire body was affected by his kiss, and his naked skin pressing against mine only enhanced it. I moaned into his mouth as I lifted my hands and held his jaw. I could feel his stubble under my palms before I moved my hands up to grip his hair. Shaun took my legs and put them around his waist, our kiss growing more urgent and aggressive.
I was so ready. I’d been waiting all day to have him inside me. My body was craving it. I could feel his erection pressing against me, and I rocked my hips. Shaun used his hand behind my head to pull my hair, and when he nipped my bottom lip between his teeth, I gasped in pleasure.
“Goddamn, I wanna be inside you right now,” he growled as his other hand gripped my waist and pulled me closer.
I let my head fall back when Shaun let go of my hair. He moved his hand to run it down my back before grabbing my ass. I loved feeling his hands all over me. He always held on so tight, like he could never get close enough.
“Where’s the condom?” I asked.
He cupped my breast and leaned down before peering up at me and slowly licking my nipple. “I dropped it when you tripped me,” he said, smiling, before pinching my skin between his teeth.
My body shuddered against his, and he smirked. He carried us toward the beach, and I looked around, wondering if anyone could see us. A strip of huge houses lined the sand. Some of them had lights on, but the moon lit up the entire shore, and I couldn’t see anyone.
“Stop thinking so much,” Shaun whispered against the side of my head as he carried me.
I smiled and let myself relax in his arms as I held on to his shoulders. When we got to the wet sand, Shaun got on his knees and slowly set me down on my back. He started kissing me again as he was on top of me, but this time, his movements were slower, more sensual. The water from a wave surrounded us, but we didn’t care. We were just following our instincts and letting them take over.
Shaun moved his hand between my legs and started circling my clit with the pad of his thumb. I moaned into his mouth, and he moved his thumb faster. Then, he stopped and pulled away.
“I’ll be right back.” He stood up, naked on the beach with a hard-on, and he started looking for the condom.
I laughed to myself and rolled onto my stomach to watch Shaun as he searched the sand in the dark. This is going to take forever. Getting up from the wet sand, I made my way over to help him look for it.
“You’re not mad, are you?”
I scrunched up my face and asked, “Why would I be mad?”
“Because you offered to have unprotected sex with me, and I refused. Most women would get mad.”
I glared at him and shook my head slowly. “What did I say about assuming I’m like other women?”
Shaun looked down at the sand and smiled to himself before his eyes met mine again. “You’re right. That’s my bad. Now, let’s find this condom, so I can fuck you on the beach.”
We both started laughing at how ridiculous we looked, standing naked on the beach while searching the sand for a condom.
“Maybe it’s just not meant to be,” I said after searching for a couple of minutes.
“You have more condoms in your bag, right?” Shaun asked, sounding almost desperate.
I didn’t.
I shook my head and frowned. “Nope.”
I woke up the next morning with another massive boner. That seemed to happen a lot with Natalie around.
When we’d come back into the house last night, I’d searched everywhere for a condom. Marcus and Asia would probably be pi
ssed that I had rummaged through all their things, but I had been desperate. I couldn’t believe I’d forgotten to bring any with me, and I’d lost the only one we had.
I’d felt like an idiot, and my dick had not been happy—well, not until Natalie had helped me come. Of course, I’d taken care of her, too, but it hadn’t been enough to satisfy my craving.
I was lying on one of the leather couches in Marcus and Asia’s living room, and Natalie was on the other one. She was naked, lying on her side, with her hands tucked under her cheek. A small blanket was draped over her body. She looked so peaceful and comfortable, and her skin was glowing in the light cast by the rising sun.
I was surprised by how much fun I’d had with her, especially since we technically never even had sex. Natalie wasn’t like any of the other women I’d been with. I knew that now. She was comfortable in her own skin, and she didn’t react emotionally to everything. Being around her was like a breath of fresh air.
As I moved my gaze down Natalie’s back and toward her ass, I imagined touching her. I thought about the feel of her skin on my hands, the warmth of her mouth on me, and her soft curves against my hard body.
Shit. I need to stop.
I needed to get a condom before I continued with this line of thought. There was no way I was letting Natalie leave until I fucked her.
Sitting up, I squinted at the window as the sunrays shined in my eyes. I ran my hand through my hair and looked around the living room. It wasn’t too messy. Just an empty pizza box, some beer bottles, and clothes were on the floor. Reaching down, I picked up my boardshorts and T-shirt and pulled them on. I tried to be quiet, so I wouldn’t wake Natalie as I grabbed my wallet and keys and made my way to the front door.
When I got into my car, I put my sunglasses over my eyes and backed out of the driveway before heading to the gas station. I got Natalie a coffee, got myself a Red Bull, and grabbed some doughnuts for both of us, but my only real concern was condoms—lots and lots of condoms.
When I got back, Natalie was in her bikini again, and she was cleaning the mess we’d made the night before. When I came in, holding up the box of condoms, she laughed as she carried our trash into the kitchen.
So, I fucked her in the kitchen.
I bent her over the island to taste her pussy first. Then, I fucked her in every position possible. By the time I was done, we were exhausted, and I loved every fucking second of it.
“Holy shit,” Natalie said between breaths, a smile lingering on her lips.
We were naked, panting, and coated in sweat on Marcus and Asia’s kitchen floor.
“Good thing you got those condoms.”
We laughed as we stared at the kitchen ceiling.
“Yeah, and from now on, we both have to carry at least five on us at all times,” I told her.
She tilted her head to look at me. The just-got-fucked look was so sexy on her.
She laughed again and nodded. “Definitely.”
When I finally got my breathing back to normal, I sat up and looked around the kitchen. I’d thrown a few things on the floor while making room on the counter for Natalie, but for the most part, everything looked like it had when we first arrived the day before.
It wasn’t until I looked at my watch that I remembered I had to give surf lessons to the kids, and I only had twenty minutes.
“Shit, I gotta go. I’m gonna be late.”
Natalie sat up and checked the clock on the wall. “Late for what?”
I threw the used condom in the trash and cleaned myself up before pulling my boardshorts back on. “Surf lessons.”
Natalie was pulling her bikini bottoms up, and she paused to look at me suspiciously.
I chuckled when I realized how that had sounded. “Not your kind of surf lessons, Killer. I teach a class every Tuesday. I’m supposed to be there in fifteen minutes, so get your sexy ass movin’ and get dressed. We gotta go.”
Shaun and I were in his car as he drove us along the oceanfront toward another part of the beach. I was sipping the coffee he’d bought me at the store even though it was cold now and didn’t have enough sugar. I needed the caffeine.
The last twenty-four hours had been unlike any I’d ever had. I’d spent the entire time on the beach and having orgasms. It had been fantastic.
Shaun was so easy to be around. I was finally letting myself relax, and it was so liberating.
He had already finished his Red Bull, and he was chewing on his doughnut.
“So, how long have you been giving surf lessons?” I asked.
He peered over at me, and then he pulled his car into a parking lot next to the beach. “A few years,” he admitted before giving me a sly grin.
“And here I was, thinking I’d discovered your hidden talent.”
He chuckled and parked the car. “I’m sure I have more talents you can discover.” He gave me a sexy smile and a wink before opening his door and getting out.
Following him onto the beach as he carried his board, I started applying a layer of sunscreen to my skin. I was beginning to wonder what kind of people he taught. If a group of women showed up in bikinis, I wasn’t sure how I’d handle it. Shaun and I weren’t in a relationship, but that didn’t mean I’d want to sit there and watch him flirt with a bunch of half-naked women. But I guessed I didn’t have a choice. I was stuck here. Just as that realization sank in, I heard a kid yell out from behind us.
“Shaun!”
Shaun and I both turned to see a little girl running toward us with a pair of hot pink sunglasses on her eyes and a Little Mermaid towel hanging over her shoulders. She was wearing a bright blue bathing suit, and her little legs were working hard to get her across the warm sand.
“What’s up, Wonder Woman?” Shaun shouted toward her.
He lifted his hand and waved to a woman watching the little girl from the boardwalk. The woman smiled and waved back before walking away.
Hold on. What?
When the little girl finally reached us, she lifted her head and aimed her sunglasses in my direction. “Who are you?” she asked me before turning to look at Shaun.
Shaun and I grinned at each other before he responded, “Natalie, this is Raven, also known as Wonder Woman. Raven, this is Natalie. She came to hang out with us today.”
“Nice to meet you, Wonder Woman,” I said, smiling at her.
“Are you Shaun’s girlfriend?”
I started to shake my head, and I opened my mouth to respond.
Then, Shaun shouted, “Shaggy! What’s up, man?”
I turned around to see a little boy this time. He looked younger than Raven. He had shaggy dirty-blond hair and light blue eyes. There was no question he would be a heartbreaker when he got older. He took his time walking up to us, and he seemed a lot more reserved than Raven. When he got to us, he gave Shaun a high five and then dropped his towel on the sand.
A few seconds later, another little boy was running up to us. He had dark hair, and he was wearing a pair of Spider-Man swim trunks.
“Mr. Shaun! You will not believe what I’m getting for my birthday!”
He was smiling so brightly that I couldn’t help but smile, too, as I watched him give Shaun a high five.
“What?” Shaun asked.
The little boy stared up at him with wide brown eyes. “I’m getting my very own surfboard!” he said, clenching his hands into fists and thrusting them into the air.
“Heck yeah!” Shaun said, sounding just as excited as the little boy in front of him. “I told you if you kept hounding them, they’d cave,” Shaun said as he mussed the boy’s hair.
I stood back, watching all of this transpire, and I wondered who this man was. I never imagined Shaun as the type to like kids, let alone teach them.
“Noah and Shaggy, this is my friend Natalie. She’s gonna hang out with us today,” Shaun said.
All the kids turned to look at me. I smiled and gave them a small wave.
“Where are our boards?” Noah asked as he looked at t
he sand around us.
“I brought my board today. You guys think you’re ready for it?”
“Yes!” Raven shouted. “Me first!”
I sat on the sand and watched Shaun take each kid into the water one at a time. The waves were small but seemed to be the perfect size for his students. I smiled as Shaun interacted with them. He was like a big kid himself, splashing in the waves and laughing at their jokes.
That was the moment I first started falling for Shaun.
About an hour later, Raven and I were sitting in the sand, building a castle.
She said, “So, you aren’t Shaun’s girlfriend?”
I shook my head as I piled more sand onto the mound we’d already made. “Nope.”
“Do you know how to surf?”
“Kind of. Shaun is trying to teach me,” I told her.
She continued pushing more wet sand onto the castle. “My mom told her friend, Miss Susan, that she wished she could get a few lessons from Shaun. I told her that he teaches big people, too, but her face just turned red, and she didn’t say anything. Grown-ups are weird.”
I smiled and laughed to myself before responding, “You’re right about that.”
“You should try to marry him. He said he doesn’t want to get married, but I think he’s just joking. He’s really nice, and I bet if you married him, you could be an awesome surfer just like him.”
I grinned as I looked at Shaun out in the water. “You think so?”
“Definitely.”
“Well, that was fun,” Natalie said as we settled into my car.
The kids’ parents had come to get them, and now, I was taking her home.
“I’m glad you enjoyed it.”
She laughed. “I never would have imagined that you taught surf lessons to kids.”
I turned to look at her, and she was smiling at me.
“Why not?”
“With your dirty mouth? I didn’t think people like you were allowed to hang around kids.”
I tried to act offended, but I couldn’t help from grinning. “Hey! I can act responsible when I have to.”
