Being waited on hand and foot was still incredibly weird for me, but I smiled back at her. “No drinks… on second thought, maybe a water?”
Almost as if it appeared out of thin air, the maid handed me a bottle, gesturing toward the door that led to the terrace.
I thanked her and double-checked for any sign of Cory before walking out onto the stone terrace, the breeze catching my hair.
Man, she wasn’t kidding about the bridge. It crossed a small stream and was high enough up that I didn’t fear for my life, but did wonder just how sturdy it was. There was a small flight of mossy steps that looked as though they had been carved right out of the island itself, and at the very top, just as she described, the large infinity pool’s glassy surface was clear and welcoming.
I giggled to myself as I grabbed a towel and placed it over one of the lounge chairs, debating whether I should sunbathe first or take a dip.
“What the hell,” I said to no one but myself, lying back on the lounge chair, the warmth of the sun hitting me all over.
What a crazy week… I’d been keeping my phone turned off to try and enjoy my little slice of paradise while we were here, so I had no idea if our final grades had been posted yet or not. I wondered what everyone else was doing back at the sorority house… we’d be leaving to go on our own little trip to Cabo a week after I returned, and then after that, all of us seniors would be saying goodbye to the Pi Beta Phi house, and going our separate ways.
Then I’d be heading to Florence for the summer, not coming back to Texas until mid-September. It was so crazy to think that even though I’d done little traveling in my life, I’d get my passport stamped in three different countries over the course of the summer.
I flipped over onto my stomach and closed my eyes, letting the quiet sounds of the waves on the shore and the twittering of birds nearby relax me.
It didn’t take very long before my skin needed to cool off, so I toed the water, glad to see that it wasn’t as cold as I thought it would be. The water sloshed over the edge as I descended into the pool, leaving me feeling as though I was at the end of the world almost, and I looked down over the side facing the ocean and sighed. If I ever had the chance to come back here, I’d take it for sure.
I was so lost in the way the open ocean felt like a dream that I didn’t notice the footsteps falling on the pool deck until they caused ripples in the water nearly scaring me half to death.
I turned to see Cory in a pair of fitted swim trunks, walking into the pool until he was mid-chest deep, a crooked grin already on his face. As relaxed as I was only a moment before, my heart was now hammering in my chest.
“Hello,” he said, swimming up to me. I tried very hard to ignore the way the ends of his hair curled while wet, his blue eyes nearly matching the pool reflected in them.
I swallowed hard. “Hi.”
“I didn’t mean to intrude. It’s been a while since I’ve been up here, and I thought I’d check out the view.” The way he said it, though, his eyes were traveling down my face until they rested on the water, instead of the gorgeous view surrounding us on all sides.
“It’s okay,” I said softly, wishing I knew what else to say. Part of me wanted to tell him I wanted the privacy, but there was something else in me, something that was dying to see what would happen when we were alone.
“So, our parents…” Cory rolled his eyes and shook his head, the grin still on his face.
Even I had to laugh, totally agreeing. “Yeah, that was pretty much the last thing I expected to hear when my dad said ‘Oh hey, I have a surprise for you,’ you know?”
His white smile was blinding next to his tanned skin, and I had to wonder if he’d been laying out somewhere, too. “The little lovebirds are actually out swimming with the sharks.”
“What?” My dad was out in the middle of the ocean with a bunch of sharks?
“I mean they’re out on a boat, dolphin and shark watching. They won’t be back until around three or so. My mom wants to make sure we all have time to get ready for the rehearsal dinner tonight.”
“Right. The rehearsal dinner…” My voice faded as I realized just how close Cory had gotten to me, his fingers so close to mine as we treaded water near the deep end.
I reviewed what I knew in my mind briefly. Cory and I clearly had some kind of something between us. Call it a spark or what you will, but I’d never had a dream quite like the one I woke up from yesterday.
Cory was also sexy as hell and so invading my personal bubble that it was obvious he was doing it on purpose.
Our parents had screwed this all up by eloping, and now I couldn’t stop thinking these incredibly dirty things about my supposed stepbrother.
Also, I was pretty sure that he’d been flirting with me on the plane here, and now with our parents gone for the next few hours…
I didn’t understand that I’d been cornered until my back hit the pool’s edge with a soft splash. Cory, with his sexy smirk and his wet hair, got even closer.
“Did I mention how nice that bathing suit looks on you?” he casually said, as if he were talking about the weather. “The color really pairs nicely with that beautiful blush of yours. Yep, there it is.”
I touched my cheek, my breath hitching in my throat. How could he have such an effect on me? “Thank you,” I replied, trying not to sound off.
“Emma. I have to be completely honest with you,” he added, his voice dropping low. “All I’ve thought about since you stayed the night at my house is you. And now you’re here, and we’re in this… situation. I can’t help but wonder why that is, and what it means. You’re leaving soon, so I’ll get to the point.”
Cory dared to press himself against me, the outline of his already hard cock easily visible under the water. Everything in me desperately wanted to reach out and touch him as his hands trailed up my sides and wrapped my legs around him.
“I don’t want to waste any more of this precious time with you. I can’t get you out of my head, and no matter how much I try… and believe me, I’ve tried, I can’t stop imagining what I could be doing to you and your gorgeous body instead. I want you. I fucking need you,” he whispered in my ear before tracing it with his tongue.
Chapter 13
EMMA
I drew in a quick, shaky breath as he ground his hips against me, his cock warm and pressed between us. My mouth trembled… I wanted to… oh God, I wanted to.
“Say it,” he whispered. “Tell me you want me too. Tell me you need me right now. Right here.”
With his mouth dipping down to nip my shoulder, I wrapped my arms around him as he supported us both, now in shallower water. “I need you. Right now.”
That was all it took for Cory, and his mouth was wild on mine, our lips molding together in a mix of heat and cool water as our chins dipped in the water.
My whole body went electric, Cory untying my top to let it drop down, exposing my hard nipples to the thick air. He bent his head down as he pushed my body up higher, catching one of my nipples between his teeth and rolling it back and forth until I cried out.
The water sloshed against the sides as he brought his mouth to the other one, not letting go even as he lifted me up and out of the water, carrying me to the steps and setting me on the wide ledge of the pool.
Cory wasted no time peeling my burgundy swim bottoms off, my ass slippery on the wet stone as he spread my thighs apart. I leaned my head back and looked straight up at the clear blue sky, the chill between my legs even more intense as his breath was only an inch away from me.
Anticipation nearly killed me, but Cory’s warm mouth began to devour my pussy, lapping at my slit. His tongue delved between my folds, prodding, tasting. Even if I hadn’t just gotten out of the pool full of water I would’ve been dripping wet.
“I could do this all day,” he said, and I could almost imagine his grin as my hips bucked against his head. “You taste like fucking heaven, Emma.”
I nodded absently, my eyes closed while h
e slowly pushed a finger deep inside me.
“Does this feel good?” he whispered against my thigh, snaking in the next finger.
“Mmm,” I moaned, wriggling from the pleasure of his fingers pressed against my g-spot.
“What about this?”
“Ungh!” I cried out, his tongue making little circles around my aching clit, my nub already so sensitive. It felt so good I almost couldn’t stand it, my legs shaking while Cory teased me mercilessly.
Spreading me open wider, Cory began noisily sucking my clit, his fingers pumping in and out of my pussy faster and faster. The pressure building up inside me… the breeze blowing across my naked body… it was so much…
“Oh God!” I shrieked, not giving a damn who heard me. I fucking wanted them to hear me; I wanted people to know how absolutely insane Cory was at eating my pussy. I shivered as a drawn-out orgasm overtook me, and the naughty feeling of being out in the open with Cory’s face between my thighs was enough to nearly send me into another orgasm.
