You

by Nella Tyler

  “I trust you, Summer. I trust you with my life. It’s him I’m not so sure about.”

  “Then trust my instincts. They haven’t done me wrong yet.”

  He nodded and shoved his hands in the pockets of his dirty jeans. “Okay. I’ll see you later?” It was a question. He was wondering if I was suddenly going to move in with the rich guy.

  “Yes, I’ll see you later.” I watched him walk all the way back to where the trail started and led back up to the top of the cliff before he disappeared into the trees. My guess is that’s where he watched me and Drake from the other night. I shivered at the thought – it was kind of creepy. I went back over to where Drake sat. He looked up at me and then over towards where Bennie had just disappeared.

  “Is everything okay?”

  “Yeah, it will be.”

  He continued to stare at the trees like he was waiting for Bennie to reappear. “That guy wants you for himself, Summer. You can see that, right?”

  “Like I said, who I want is entirely up to me regardless of what anyone else thinks or feels. Bennie is my friend; he just needs to understand that’s all we are. He’ll come around to it eventually.”

  Drake looked like he wasn’t so sure about that, but he let it go and changed the subject. “You want to get some lunch?”

  “You don’t have to buy me lunch every day.”

  He shrugged. “Okay, I won’t buy it. Come to my loft with me and I’ll make you lunch.”

  I raised an eyebrow. “You cook?”

  “Not really, but I can make a hell of a grilled cheese and soup.”

  I knew it wasn’t a good idea to be alone with him in a place that was private and had a bed…or a couch…or a floor… My suddenly dirty mind listed out all of the possibilities. I had told him I wouldn’t exchange sex for the lessons, but while I was telling Bennie that I was an adult and allowed to have sex when and with whom I want, I realized that I really, really wanted to have sex with Drake again.

  “I like grilled cheese,” I told him. He grinned and stood up. I watched him brush the sand off his shorts and gather up his stuff. I picked up my board so my hands would be full and it would be easier to resist the urge once again to touch him.

  CHAPTER TEN

  DRAKE

  I opened the door to my loft and let Summer step in first. I tried not to be a pervert and look at her ass, but damn, what an ass she has. She was standing there looking around as I stepped in behind her and closed the door. I saw her flinch a little bit at that. I didn’t like wondering if she was scared of me.

  I side-stepped past her, resisting every fiber in my body telling me to touch her as I said, “I’ll get started on that lunch. You can have a seat, if you want. Do you want something to drink?”

  She was still standing close to the front door and suddenly, I was worried she was going to bolt. She turned towards me and smiled instead. God, she’s beautiful.

  “Am I making you nervous, Drake?”

  I laughed. “No, why would you think that?”

  “You’re talking really fast and trying to put distance between us…” She was flirting with me. Even that first night when we had sex, she hadn’t done that. Was it possible she came back here because she wanted to have sex? She’s so hard to read, unlike the other women I’ve been with. Maybe it’s because I’ve been basically choosing the same woman over and over again since the first time I had sex in high school. They were all in the same social class as me or someone who had been raised and trained to climb the social ladder. In other words, they were mostly superficial and transparent. There was nothing about either of those words that described Summer.

  I grinned and said, “I didn’t want to give you a reason to call me a horn dog again.”

  Her voice had a sexy little tremor to it as she said, “If I promise not to call you any nasty names, will you kiss me?”

  I didn’t answer her with words. I covered the space between us in a step and took her pretty face in my hands. I bent down and she rose up on her toes and I kissed her – it was a hard, deep, tongue-tangling kiss and I loved the way she responded with her entire body. I pulled back after a while to suck in a breath and the look of her swollen red lips and the glow in her pretty green eyes ignited the fuse already smoldering in my core. I grabbed her and not gently, I pushed her back into the wall. I stepped into her and kissed her again, this time letting my hands slide down her sides and land on her hips. Then I moved them back up underneath her shirt, feeling her soft, warm skin. My hands were shaking, which was new for me. When they landed on the front of that little bikini top and I felt her nipples harden underneath my palms, I had to touch them. I pushed up that bikini and found one of the hard little nubs with my fingers. I began to twist and roll it around and she leaned into me harder and moaned into my mouth. I could actually feel the goosebumps rising on her soft skin as I slid my hands back down and walked her backwards down the hall. I went slowly, still possessing her sexy mouth, but giving her time to resist the trip to the bedroom. Instead, she had her arms wrapped up tightly around my shoulders as she matched me step for step.

  Once we were in the bedroom, I grabbed that little t-shirt and pulled it up over her head. The bikini top was next. I wanted to rip it off, but I suspected it was her only one, and I really didn’t want to piss her off. I untied it at her neck and behind her smooth back and as soon as it fell off, my mouth found one of those sexy, gorgeous breasts. I loved the sound of her heavy breathing as I licked and sucked and nibbled. I started walking us backwards again towards the bed while I sucked and she wiggled and rubbed her crotch into my leg. So fucking sexy.

  When I felt her stop and I knew her legs had come into contact with the bed, I practically pushed the poor thing down. I didn’t realize she already had her hands on the Velcro of my board shorts and as soon as she pulled them open, I pushed them down so my throbbing cock could fall out with an almost audible sigh. Every nerve in my body was tingling and electricity was zinging through my body as she took me into her soft little hands and started rubbing them up and down. I had to take a deep breath and pray for control – I wanted her so fucking bad. I bent over and unbuttoned her shorts. Without letting go of my cock, she lifted her sexy hips up and I unzipped the shorts and pulled them off with her panties in one swift motion.

  Looking at her sitting naked on my bed gave me a dull, empty ache in the deepest place in my core. I didn’t just want her…I needed her. Adrenaline was surging through my veins. My blood was hot as I lifted her up and positioned her further back on the bed. I lie down next to her and put my lips on her neck and my fingers between her legs. She moved her thighs apart for me and sighed as I played across the moisture on her outer lips. I could only take that for a few minutes though before some part of me absolutely had to be inside of her. I slipped one finger in and she squeaked out a sexy little sound against my lips. When I put the second one in, she thrust her hips up off the bed and pulled back so she could moan out loud. I started moving them, crooking one so that I could try and engage her G-spot. I think it worked because she was writhing all over the place. I put one hand on her belly to hold her still and then I preceded to finger fuck her. I could almost cum watching the ecstasy in her face as I moved them in and out, not gently – I was banging her, and she loved it.

  After a few seconds of that, she reached down and pushed at my hand. Her breaths were so ragged I wondered if she was getting enough oxygen. “Too much,” she managed to gasp out. She was too sensitive. I pulled my fingers out slowly and she whimpered, but I quickly replaced them with my mouth. I licked up and down her slit, tasting how sweet she is before finding her swollen clit and sucking it in between my lips. She had her hands in my hair now, pushing me in deeper so I went. I tongued her clit for a while and then I moved my face so my nose rubbed up against it and I shoved my tongue up inside of her as far as it would go. She was humping my face and calling out my name until all at once, I felt her tighten the grasp she had on my hair and her whole little p
etite body was stiff as a board. She yelled out my name as I felt the warm flow of her orgasm and tasted her excitement. My cock felt like it was going to explode and I couldn’t wait a second longer to be inside of her.

  I moved up on top of her and she spread her thighs open further. We both groaned as I pressed the head of my cock into her tight opening and then I began to advance it inside of her. She was soaking wet, but still so tight that the silky walls of her pussy closed around each inch like a vice. When I was inside of her as far as I could go, I was almost afraid to move. I wasn’t just afraid of hurting her…I was afraid I was going to come. She started to move first and after only a few thrusts of her hips, my body took on a life of her own. I started moving in and out while my hands explored her breasts, pinching and pulling at her nipples. I watched her face and loved the look of complete bliss I saw there. I suddenly knew that I’d do anything to see that look and know I’d caused it.

  Her little hands moved up and gripped onto my shoulders tightly as I fucked her. I felt like a fourteen year old with his first hard on. It was all I could do to keep from cumming already as she dug her nails into my flesh and worked her hips up and down. She was a natural, like she’d been doing this for years, and it was so fucking good. My movements started becoming frenetic as the orgasm pressed into me harder. She gripped onto me tighter, and I slid one of my hands underneath that sweet ass and held it up off the bed while I banged into her. She lifted her head up so she could find my lips, but instead of a kiss, it was more like chaotic swipes as I pounded into her with all I had. I felt those tight walls get even tighter as she cried out my name and there was no more holding back. I gasped out loud as I came long and hard inside of her. It was the first time I thought about the fact I hadn’t worn a condom. I briefly wondered if she might get pregnant, but I was too far gone, I couldn’t pull out now. When I made sure that every last drop had been milked out of me by that sweet, tight little pussy I dropped down half on the bed and half on top of her and let my hands continue rubbing and kneading her warm flesh. My nerves were still completely raw, and I was having a hard time breathing.

  When I finally got my bearings back slightly, I lifted my head up to look at her gorgeous face and she smiled. Liquid heat raced through me again, and I pushed up until I could reach her lips and this time I kissed her slowly, taking my time exploring her sweet mouth and licking those full lips. When I’d gotten my fill of that, I put my head on her shoulder and in a raspy, still breathless voice I said,

  “God, Summer, you are the sexiest woman I’ve ever been with.” I felt her little body shake and when I pulled my head back up and looked at her face, she looked amused. “Why is that funny?”

  Still running the fingers of the hand under my neck through my hair, she said, “It’s not funny… I’m sorry, I just don’t really believe you.”

  It was my turn to be amused. Her honesty was refreshing but slightly overwhelming at the same time. “I already had you – why would I need to lie?”

  “I guess you have a point there,” she said. “But you do know that the other night was my first time, right?”

  I nodded. “Yeah, I’m sorry it was like that…in the ocean.”

  “Don’t be sorry. I loved every minute of it. But my point is that I’m sure you’ve been with much more experienced women.”

  “Experience and sexy are not the same things, your body just knows how to move and how to please me and you fit me so well…” I felt her snuggle into my chest, so I lay on my back and pulled her into me. It felt so good that I could lie right here all afternoon and not do another thing but this. We lay there for a long time just quietly enjoying the feel of each other before she turned her face towards mine and I resumed kissing her. I was getting excited again just from the feel of her lips and tongue. I slid my mouth down to her neck and sucked on that for a bit before sliding it down and nipping at her sexy collarbone. I couldn’t stop there. I readjusted so that I was back on my knees above her, and I licked around the outside of first one dark nipple and then the other. I flicked and sucked there for a while before licking down her sexy, flat belly. As soon as I got to the top of her mound, she flexed her hips up and whispered my name. She smelled like sex and the ocean, and it was intoxicating.

  I reached up to part her lips with one of my hands, and then I pressed my tongue in hard against her clit, moving it back and forth. She was writhing and whispering things I didn’t understand, and I could feel her sexy thighs trembling. My cock was rock hard again and about the time she started whimpering loudly on the edge, I slid back up and using one hand, flipped her over so that she was on her belly. She automatically drew her knees in and brought that gorgeous ass up towards me. I lined up, and as I slid inside of her, I took a plump cheek in each one of my hands. There was not any pretense of going slow this time. I drilled my cock into her, fucking her like an animal. I let go of her ass and reached for those gorgeous tits. I held one in each hand as I fucked her, and it wasn’t long this time before I felt her little body convulse and my cock begin to swell. I pushed forward and then pulled her back so she was almost sitting up straight in my lap as I came again – almost as hard as the first time. Fucking fantastic…

  This time when I collapsed down next to her, I was so tired that I was actually afraid if I closed my eyes, I would go to sleep. Maybe I should have, because instead of doing that I said,

  “Summer?”

  “Yeah?” her voice was breathless, husky, and so damned sexy that my tired cock actually twitched again at the sound of it.

  “I have to go to a Gala Friday night. Will you go with me?”

  She literally rolled me off of her as she sat up and looked at my face. Usually, I couldn’t tell what she was thinking, but the look she had there now said she thought I was pure crazy.

  CHAPTER ELEVEN

  SUMMER

  For several minutes, I stared at Drake’s gorgeous face. I almost got lost in those damned crystal blue eyes and forgot what I was doing. I mentally clawed my way back and remembered that I was trying to see something in his face that said he was joking. He asked the homeless girl to a gala. He had to be joking. If he was, it would be one of the meanest things anyone had ever done to me. He’s not mean, that much I’m sure of. If he was mean, he would have called the cops on me after he fucked me the first time. He would have gotten his easy piece of ass and his revenge on the street person. No, I don’t think he’s mean. So if he’s not mean, then he must be crazy. I’m not sure how I missed it if he’s crazy, though. I’m usually pretty good at spotting the crazy ones. I’ve had a lot of experience with that over the past five years.

  “Summer?” I avoided his eyes and looked at his nose instead. I wasn’t sure that I was strong enough to keep looking into those eyes and stand my ground.

  “What?”

  “You’ve been staring at me for a long time. Tell me what’s going on in your head, please.”

  You’re gorgeous. Your eyes are like magnets. I’ve lost my mind completely. Out loud I said, “You’re a lunatic.”

  He laughed. “Sorry I asked.”

  “Well, you are. I live in a cave. I own one shirt, one pair of shorts, and two pairs of underwear. Oh, and a pair of flip-flops. Can I wear flip-flops to a gala? I mean, I’m not even really sure what a gala is, but will my t-shirt and shorts do for attire? Gala…even the word sounds fancy. Oh! Maybe there will be a visit from a fairy godmother. Is that it? I’m Cinderella and you’re Prince Charming. I’ll just have to make sure I leave when the clock strikes midnight-”

  “Summer, stop!” he reached for me and I jumped out of the bed. I knew him touching me wasn’t going to help my resolve. I was gathering my clothes as he stood up.

  “Just stay back, I’m afraid you’ve lost your mind and I don’t want you to come any closer.”

  He was looking at me like I was the one that had lost her mind. In a voice reserved for talking to a crazy person, he said, “Please stop this and listen to me.” I slipped on my under
wear and my shorts. I had on my bikini top and was reaching for my t-shirt when he grabbed my wrist. I looked down at his hand and back at his face. He let go and held his palms up. “I’m sorry, but I’m not going to just let you run out of here like I smacked you or something. You’re acting crazy. Please, sit down and hear me out.”

  I sat down and pulled on my shirt. He sat down next to me. He tried to touch me, but I scooted over. “There’s really nothing you can say beyond, I’m sorry for the bad joke.”

  “It wasn’t a joke, Summer. I’d really like you to go with me. I’ll give you money for a dress and shoes-”

  “So you’re the fairy godmother, huh? Or am I your charity case now?”

  “No, it’s not like that. I want you to go with me. I don’t want to go to this gala. I hate things like this. I have to go and it would be less like torture if you would go with me.”

  “Why not just ask someone that can buy her own dress?”

  “Summer, this isn’t about what you can or can’t buy.” He cautiously reached for my hand. I let him take it. “I like you…a lot. Do you really not know that?”

  “I don’t belong here in this fancy apartment, Drake. I got caught up, the sex was good… It went to your head and you forgot who you were fucking.”

  “Why are you acting like this? You do belong here because I want you here. You’re as good as or better than anyone else who might be there.” He let go of my hand and tipped my chin up so that I had to look at his face. He was giving me a look with those sexy blue eyes that made me want to believe him. I wanted to believe that he really wanted to go with me in spite of myself. I was much too cynical and suspicious to do that, however. Instead, I imagined myself in a fancy dress in a room full of fancy people with everyone pointing and laughing…including Drake.

  “I need to go.”
