You

by Nella Tyler

  We got into the rental car and as I drove us to the hotel, I said, “How did you know where to find me?”

  “Kobe,” he said.

  “Never tell Phoebe any of your secrets.”

  He laughed. “I won’t. But you want to know one?”

  “Maybe?”

  “I’m glad you told her yours. I missed you, Summer.”

  “Did you?” I wasn’t being flirty or facetious. I honestly didn’t believe that he had missed me. He’d been so angry with me that day I went to see him and it was obvious that he wasn’t hurting in the sex department. I wasn’t sure he ever wanted to see me again.

  I pulled the car up in front of the hotel and before the valet opened the doors, he said, “I did, Summer…like an amputated limb.” He was looking at me with those ice blue eyes and telling me that he missed me, and I wanted to kick that damned valet in the balls when he opened the door and interrupted him. I got out, and we walked into the lobby together. I saw Drake look around and when his eyes fell on the little piano bar he said, “I’ll get a drink and wait for you-”

  “No.”

  “You don’t want me to wait for you?”

  “No.” With a still shaky hand, I reached out for his. He gave it to me, and I looked up into his gorgeous face and said, “I don’t want you to wait for me. I want you to come with me. I want…you.”

  He smiled and right there in that fancy lobby surrounded by fancy people he took my disheveled self into his arms and he kissed the breath out of me, and then he picked me up and carried me to the elevator. It was an eighties movie, Officer and a Gentleman moment. I reached over as the doors slid shut and pushed the number for my floor and then I kissed him again. I never wanted to stop.

  CHAPTER TWENTY-SIX

  DRAKE

  I could feel Summer’s slim body shaking all over as I held her and we kissed in the elevator. I knew how she felt, I was shaking just the same, only inside. When the elevator opened on the tenth floor, I carried her out and down the hall to her room. She handed me the keycard, and I slid it in the door and pushed the door in with my foot. Once we were inside, I kicked it closed and put her down on her feet. She smiled and everything inside of me melted. It was like hot, thick lava was trying to force itself through my veins and my heart was beating so hard that I felt like it would explode.

  “I’m a mess. I want you so bad, but not like this.”

  I was hoping for an invitation into the bath, but I decided I wasn’t going to push my luck. “It’s okay. Go do what you need to do. I’m not going anywhere.” She nodded and turned away before she turned back and slipped her arms up around my neck. She pulled me down so our mouths met and she gave me another long, hot kiss that I felt in every part of my body, most especially the parts down south. She was panting when she let go of me and smiled again, and I watched her go into the bathroom. Feeling weak in my knees, I went over and sat down on the bed. I could hear the water running through the door she’d left cracked. I lay back across the bed and wondered what had taken me so long. I could kick myself for wasting all of these months.

  I closed my eyes and relived the kiss in the elevator. Nothing is better than that first kiss after time away. Well, almost nothing. When I get her out here and into this bed, there will really be nothing better than that. I let myself imagine for a second that I hadn’t listened to Lance and Kobe and I’d gone home with the Summer imitation from the bar. I shuddered, revolted by the very fact that I’d considered it.

  While I lay there, I suddenly got a whiff of something that smelled like lavender and I heard the bath shut off. My cock throbbed at the sound. That meant that Summer was naked and submerged in water…only steps away. The question was, what the fuck was I still doing in here? I stood up and stripped off everything except my shorts. I went over to the partially open door and peeked in. I could see her face above the water with her eyes closed and that pretty blonde hair splayed out against the white marble. Bubbles covered her body up to her neck and I imagined what was underneath those bubbles. My cock ached as I pushed the door open slowly and quietly.

  I went to the end of the tub where her little feet were sticking out of the water and I reached down and ran my finger along the top of one of them. She opened her eyes with a startled look, but that was quickly replaced by a smile. I slid my hand down under the water and got it wet before I slid it very slowly from the top of her foot, along the outside of her leg until I got to her knee. Her green eyes were blazing with lust as she watched me. I changed legs and started at the knee on that one and slid my hand down to her foot. I massaged the balls of her feet gently, and she closed her eyes again and let out a little whimper.

  I moved my hand back over to the first foot and after giving it a little massage, I let my hand run up the inside of her leg this time. I didn’t stop until I got to the top of her thigh. God, her skin was so soft. I wanted to taste her so badly. I moved my hand to the other thigh and moved it in slow, soft circles. She moaned, and one of my fingers moved away from my hand of its own volition and slid across the outer lips of her pussy. She opened her mouth and stretched out her legs, letting out the longest, sexiest moan I’ve ever heard.

  I wanted to let my fingers delve inside, but not yet. I slipped it up until it reached the bottom of her stomach and once again moved it in slow, sensuous circles until I reached her hip, where I did the same. I let it keep moving up across her flat stomach until I reached the underside of her breasts. She was breathing heavy and her chest was rising and falling rapidly. I let my thumb sweep up and slide across her hard nipple. She shivered. I did the same with the other side, feeling that hard nub pucker underneath my touch. Then I gripped them both, one in each hand, and gave them a squeeze. Summer was squirming under the bubbles, and I loved knowing if I put my hand back down on her pussy, I’d be able to feel her thick, hot juices even in the water.

  I played with her breasts and nipples for a while until she was writhing so hard I was afraid she’d cum before I ever touch her pussy. I slid my hand back down along the side of her sexy body. I slid it underneath her and cupped one of her smooth cheeks in my hand and squeezed. Then, I slid it back around to the front and traced my fingers across the top of her pubic bone. She lifted up her hips, trying to get my fingers to touch her pussy. I let the tip of my middle finger skim across the top of her swollen clit. I felt her move her legs open further, and I stroked up and down the outside of her lips and then cupped her entire pussy in the palm of my hand.

  She pushed against my hand again, so I gave her a little more. I let my thumb press hard into her clit and started moving it in circles. While I did that, I let my knuckles separate her lips and massaged the sensitive inner parts. She was whimpering and moaning and water was splashing all over because of her squirming. I pressed harder against her clit with my thumb and slid my middle finger into her smooth, hot tunnel. She cried out as her tight walls clamped down around it. I let it slide in and out slowly while continuing to rub her clit the entire time. She’s so fucking sexy.

  I kept fingering her, adding a second finger, too, and leaning down to kiss her. I matched the movements of my tongue with that of the fingers that were fucking her. She moved her hips up and down, riding my hand as she gripped it between her thighs. Her small hands were gripping on the sides of the tub, her head was back against the marble, and her eyes were closed. She opened her pretty lips and let out a sound that was more of a deep groan than a moan as I felt her body go rigid. She panted out my name, and then as her body convulsed, I felt the hot rush of her orgasm coat my fingers and run down the side of my hand.

  I held my fingers in place until her shaking subsided and her body relaxed back down into the water. She opened her eyes and looked at me with raw lust in her eyes and my cock twitched again. “Wow.”

  I smiled and winked. “I’ll see you in the bedroom.”

  She nodded. “Any second now,” she said. “Be naked.” I left her there and went back into the other room. I stripped off my
shorts and climbed underneath the comforter and the cool top sheet, waiting for her to join me. I’m not sure I was prepared for the sight of her, though. When she walked out of the bathroom wrapped in a fluffy white towel, my stomach did cartwheels. When she dropped the towel, I swear my cock tried to jump across the room.

  “So fucking gorgeous.”

  She smiled and came over and climbed into the bed next to me. I brushed the wet hair back off of her forehead and touched her face. Every fiber in my body was screaming at me to jump on her, but I wanted to savor this moment. I traced her soft skin with my fingers and then leaned down and gave her a soft kiss. Our tongues tangled up and engaged in a long, seductive dance as we tasted and explored each other. Every time I kissed her or touched her was like the first time all over again. She made me feel alive and like every other fucked up thing in my life was completely irrelevant. It didn’t matter what I had to do to keep her, I was never going to let her go again.

  CHAPTER TWENTY-SEVEN

  SUMMER

  Lying in bed with Drake was so surreal that I wasn’t absolutely sure I wasn’t dreaming. I wondered briefly while I was lying in the tub if I was making a mistake. Shouldn’t we talk about things first? Does he still think I’m selfish? But then he came in and started touching me and there was suddenly no rational part of my brain left to question any of it. Besides, the last time we talked, it ended with me in Oregon and him in California. I made a decision that I wanted him so badly, even if that’s how it ended up this time, I was willing to risk it.

  He was kissing me and touching me so softly and sweetly. I loved it and at the same time, I wanted so much more. I sucked his lower lip between mine and ran my tongue back and forth across it. I could feel his breathing speeding up as I let go of his lip and began darting it in and out of his mouth. His warm lips were suddenly on the side of my face and he kissed his way up to my ear. He breathed out, and the feel of his warm breath gave me the chills all over. He sucked my earlobe in between his sexy lips and held it there while he ran his wet tongue back and forth across it. I could feel the anticipation of him touching and kissing the rest of my body coiled in the pit of my stomach like a snake and the wetness between my legs was out of control. I shamelessly ground my pussy into his hard thigh, and as his tongue slipped into my ear, I moaned and reached behind him and grabbed hold of his hard ass. I pulled him closer so that I could lift one of my legs and rub my pussy harder against him. I was already on the verge of another massive orgasm like the one I’d had in the tub and he hadn’t even touched me yet. I whined when I felt him pull away and stand up. He stood at the end of the bed and reached down for my ankles. He pulled me toward the end of the bed and when my butt was right on the edge, he knelt down to push my thighs apart.

  Drake started at my ankles and kissed his way softly up over my calves, behind my knees, and then he brushed his lips lightly across the tops of my thighs while my pussy quivered almost uncontrollably. He did the same to the other leg and I thought I might go mad before finally his lips were on my pussy. He kissed all around the outside of it and up over the mound until he reached to bottom of my belly. When he started back down with his lips, he reached up with his fingers and ran them lightly across my rock hard nipples. He licked the pussy juice off the tops of the inner parts of my thighs, teasing me and making me crazy with lust all over again. I reached down and put my hands in his hair. I held onto his head as I lifted up my hips and tried to force his face down where I wanted it. My clit was throbbing so hard that it hurt. His hands were still working my nipples. He was pulling and tugging on them now, twisting and pinching. I was almost consumed by those feelings when his tongue suddenly dove in between my pussy lips and he let it slide up into my tunnel as far as it would go. He held it there and made little circular and flicking motions that caused me to cry out loudly and writhe all over the bed. He brought one of his hands down to my belly and used it to hold me in place while he continued his oral assault. With the other hand, he replaced his tongue with two fingers and finally brought it up to lick my clit. He licked it up and then down, and then he sucked it into his mouth. He held that throbbing button between his lips and let his tongue flick it hard back and forth while alternating with sucking on it. I’d never felt anything like it and I was almost too over-stimulated by it. I was making a lot of noise, too. I tried to brace myself for the explosion I felt building inside. I had a feeling it was going to be unlike anything I’d ever experienced before.

  I held back as long as I could, but when he crooked one of his fingers and hit my g-spot, I was done. Every raw nerve in my body fired off at the same time and the most massive orgasm I’d experienced thus far hit my body with the force of a freight train moving at a hundred miles an hour. My body stiffened, and I clamped my thighs closed on his head and his hand and held him there, rocking against him until as one wave after the other next slammed into me, eventually turning into long, slow waves that caused my body to convulse.

  When he felt my thighs relax, he slithered his sexy hard body up mine. He left a trail of kisses as he let his muscular chest slide across the peaks of my hard nipples. He stopped there at my breasts for a while and licked, sucked, and teased. I reached down between us and he shifted his hips upwards so I could get ahold of his swollen, throbbing cock. I wrapped my hand around it; knowing that he was that hard for me gave me an incredible thrill. I love feeling how badly he wants me.

  I stroked his erection softly at first with one hand while raking my fingernails lightly across his rock hard abs. He continued to suck on my breasts, moaning into my flesh as he did and moving his hips in time with my strokes.

  I was panting both from the stimulation of my breasts and the feel of him in my hand. Even after two orgasms, I needed more. I began to stroke and pull on his cock harder and faster. I felt the silky bead of pre-cum slip out and I reached my thumb up and slid it over the head while I continuously pumped his cock. His breaths were growing ragged and the veins in his neck were distended as his cock pulsated against my palms and fingers. He finally pulled his mouth up off of my nipples with a groan and reached down to move my hands off of him. The look in his eyes was intense as he lifted himself up with his arms and reached down to press the head of his cock against my opening. He lifted himself all the way up on his knees and looked down at me as he moved his hips just slightly, letting only the head of his cock make contact with my soaking wet pussy. I reached down for it and he grabbed my hands again. Taking both of my wrists in one of his he put them up over my head and held them there as he smiled down at me. He reached down with the other hand, took his cock in it, and then he proceeded to torture me with touches, thrusts, and slaps with it against my wet lips.

  I raised my ass up off the bed as far as I could and that was when he gave in. He never broke eye contact with me as he entered me slowly. My pussy grabbed onto him as he filled me up, and I could still feel him throbbing when he hit bottom. I reached up and gripped his shoulders so tightly that I was digging into flesh. He held himself inside of me and circled his hips before withdrawing almost as slowly as he entered me, and then he did it again. There was a look of ecstasy on his face, and I could tell by his heavy breathing and the sounds he was making that he was trying to make it last. I appreciated that, but I still needed more. I let my hands slide across the taut muscles in his back until they reached his ass and I rested them there, pushing forward and lifting my hips into his with each one of his thrusts. He was panting and gasping for air until at last, his urgency took over. He sat up and pulled my legs up over his shoulders, and he held onto my hips as he began slamming that beautiful cock into me. He plunged in and out with long, deep strokes, faster and faster until once again, I was dangling on the edge of that precipice. Both of our hips were a blur because we were moving so fast now. Drake’s eyes were closed and his mouth was open when I felt him suddenly explode inside of me. The feeling of that warm, wet liquid gave me the final push I needed and my third orgasm of the day ripped through me, c
ausing me to grip onto him more tightly and cry out so loudly that if anyone was out in the hallway, they surely had to hear.

  Drake rocked into me until he’d either completely emptied himself or he just no longer had any more energy to go on, I wasn’t sure which. He collapsed down next to me and hurriedly pulled me into him, wrapping me in the kind of embrace that takes all of your oxygen, but makes you feel safe all at the same time. I felt him kiss the top of my head and then inhale the scent of my hair as I pressed my face into his chest and closed my eyes. We lay there like that for a long time, just enjoying the feelings and sounds of our own breathing in the now quiet room. Drake was the first one to speak,

  “Summer, I love you. I want you. I don’t care what I have to do, I’ll do whatever you need me to do, just please don’t leave me again.”

  I was not sure I still had a job, but my Grandfather’s attorney made that a moot point today anyways. Grandpa was a wealthy man, surprisingly, and now I’m a wealthy woman. I no longer had to worry that Drake might think I was using him as an escape from the poverty I lived in. I no longer had to worry that other people would think he was a fool for dating the homeless girl. I have a roof over my head and a full belly and that house I’d been in earlier today was full of history. I have family history like everyone else now. I realized something beyond all of that, though… I no longer cared what anyone else said or thought. I hate being without him, and denying myself the one thing I want most in the world was just ridiculous.

  “I have everything I need, except you. I love you, too. I never want to leave you again.”

  CHAPTER TWENTY-EIGHT

  DRAKE

  I stood in the center of my building and looked around. Tonight was my grand opening party to get the news out to the community and the press. I can’t believe it’s finally ready to go. When I bought the old creamery building on the beach, it was crumbling from the inside out. It hadn’t been used in almost ten years and the salty air had wreaked havoc. I knew in my heart though as soon as I saw the inside of it last year, this was where I wanted to put my school.
