Always Closer

  CHAPTER TWELVE

  I couldn’t wait to confront Jake, I was absolutely furious at him for trying to come between Hudson and I. I couldn’t believe he would play such a twisted game with me, and to get other people involved too was messed up. I was so relieved though that it was all fake, and I was just so happy to be kissing Hudson again. I pulled back from the kiss just enough to ask him if he had anywhere to be.

  ‘Just here with you,’ he answered, smiling sweetly at me. His blue eyes were glowing in the afternoon sun.

  ‘Do you want to go down to the beach for a walk?’ I asked

  Hudson was still smiling at me, ‘How about a walk and a swim?’

  ‘It doesn’t look like you’re prepared for a swim,’ I pointed out, gesturing at his outfit that consisted of a t-shirt, jeans and boots.

  He shrugged his shoulders playfully. ‘I’ll make do.’

  ‘Okay, let me just grab my bathers then,’ I said as I took a few steps backwards towards the house.

  ‘No no no,’ said Hudson, as he moved towards me, wrapping his arms around me to stop me heading inside, ‘we’ll both have to make do, only fair right?’

  His arms felt so nice as they held me against his body. I couldn’t resist the urge to kiss him whenever we got so close, so I stood up on my toes and reached for his lips. He kissed me strong then pulled away.

  ‘So you’re ready then?’

  ‘Yeah, let’s go. I’m ready.’

  I was wearing a tank top and short shorts so it was quite appropriate clothing for the beach anyway. Hudson took the sunglasses that were hanging from the top of his shirt and pulled them on, over his bright blue eyes. As we walked towards the beach it felt so nice to be walking hand in hand with him and to not be worried about anything that had been plaguing my mind earlier that day. I could feel the heat reflecting off the road and onto my exposed skin, and I couldn’t wait to get into the water. Half way down the road we passed some young women around my age in their bikinis who’s eyes were wandering over Hudson’s body, but he didn’t pay any attention or take any notice of them, instead he draped his arm over my shoulder and pulled me in next to him, kissing me on the cheek. I liked it when people thought we were together. His good looks and confidence gave me confidence, and I somehow felt more important when I was with him.

  ‘Those shorts look like they’ll go see through if they get wet,’ he said, as he looked at my butt, then continued, whispering in my ear, ‘I hope you remembered to wear your underwear this time.’

  I playfully bumped my body into his. ‘Oh, I don’t think you hope for that at all!’ I said, as I smiled up at him.

  ‘You’re right. See, you do know me.’ He playfully bumped me back.

  Hudson was full of energy when we reached the beach and took a few running steps into the sand.

  ‘Ah! Finally!’ he said, as he ripped his shirt off over his head.

  I stood back and watched his muscles ripple as he navigated his shirt over them. He turned back around to me, his bare chest exposed and silky with sweat. ‘Close enough to the water now for it not to be weird that I’m taking my clothes off!’

  He plopped himself down heavily in the sand and started untying his boots.

  ‘You’re not going in right here are you!’ I asked.

  ‘Yeah. Why? What’s wrong with here?’ He looked up and down the empty beach and then back at me.

  ‘What if people come down here and see you swimming in your soggy wet underwear, surely that’s not a great image for you?’

  ‘Oh Mae,’ he said, as if I was missing something, ‘what makes you think I’m swimming in my underwear?’ He shot a cheeky grin at me and pulled off his boot.

  My face must have turned bright pink. ‘Well I’m not going in like that!’ I said, very horrified about being naked in public.

  ‘Sure you are,’ he said, as he stood up and locked eyes with me while he undid the button on his jeans, still with that cheeky grin on his face.

  ‘Oh my god.’

  The words fell out of my mouth as I watched him begin to lower his jeans, catching a glimpse of the base his thick shaft. I looked away, then back just as fast. He was still lowering his jeans and I saw more of his long, thick shaft, but still not all of it. I turned away again and started to laugh, wanting to turn back around but too embarrassed at the thought of being caught. The rustling of his clothes had stopped so I knew that he had completely removed his jeans, and then his voice became clearer as he moved towards me. He was standing right behind me. I knew he was completely naked, which was exhilarating.

  ‘You’re not going to make me go in alone are you?’ he said into my ear, as his hands ran down my arms.

  I was still looking down the beach away from him. ‘I’ll come in, in my underwear. But that’s it!’ I turned my head around to look at his face. I resisted the urge to look down at his cock.

  ‘I think we should meet half way, don’t you?’ He started to lift my top up over my torso.

  ‘Maybe,’ I laughed, ‘well at least you’re going with the top half, thank you.’ I lifted my arms up so he could pull my top over my head.

  He kissed me on the neck and dropped my top into the sand before moving his hands to undo my bra. He loosened the clasp at the back and slid the straps down my shoulders. I held the cups against my breasts.

  ‘Don’t keep me waiting too long!’ Hudson kissed me short and quick on the cheek before running off into the water. I turned around to see the firm muscles of his arse working hard as he ran until the water was deep enough to dive in. He slipped under the cool blue, then popped up and flicked the water from his hair.

  ‘It’s beautiful in here! Come on!’ he called, as he threw some water up at his face and ran his hands through his hair.

  He looked incredible. His hips were just above the water and I could see all the definition of his ab muscles where they converged, pointing downwards to where I wanted to explore. I walked towards the water still holding my bra against me. I hesitated at the waters edge, while Hudson stood further out in the waist deep water. I was looking around the beach to make sure no one was nearby.

  ‘Don’t make me come and get you!’ called Hudson, as he started moving towards the shore.

  My nerves were making me laugh so much, I was overcome by a strange giddiness.

  ‘No!’ I couldn’t get the whole sentence out between the laughter. ‘Please stay there!’

  I could see the base of his cock again and was nervous about him revealing himself completely in public, even though there was no one around. He was still walking in the water towards me. The top of his thighs were above the water, and I could start to see how big he was. It was turning me on so much. I dropped my bra in the sand, covered my breasts with my hands and ran in towards him.

  Hudson wolf whistled, and hollered at me as I made my way in. The water was cool but comfortable and as soon as it was deep enough, I ducked my body below the surface to hide my breasts.

  I think Hudson enjoyed showing off his huge cock to me because he didn’t make any attempt to move back into deeper water. I was quite close to him now and everything was at perfect eye level for me.

  ‘Beautiful isn’t it!’ he said, with great excitement.

  I tried to look up at his face but I was incredibly distracted.

  ‘Mmm, yeah,’ I said, trying not to let him catch me looking at him.

  He must have seen me looking because he moved closer to me, almost revealing everything as he stepped into shallower water. He then lowered himself down next to me.

  ‘For a minute there I thought you were going to leave me out here alone!’ he teased.

  ‘Unfortunately you’re not that easy to resist Mr Cooper,’ I said, as I positioned myself in front of him and stroked his chest.

  Hudson took my hands and moved me out into the deeper water with him. He ducked under the water then popped up a few meters ahead.

  ‘Can you stand out there?’ I asked

  Hudson lifted his a
rms out of the water and let his body find the bottom. The water came up to his chest, ebbing above then below his nipples. ‘Yep!’

  I swam out to him, but wasn’t able to reach the bottom, so he pulled me against him and I wrapped my legs around his waist. My breasts were above the water and very close to his face.

  ‘This is bringing back some nice memories,’ he said, as he ran his hand down my back.

  ‘Isn’t it?’ I said, as we moved in towards each other and kissed.

  ‘I haven’t stopped thinking about you since the other night,’ he said, then kissed me again.

  ‘Me too. I’ve replayed a lot of it in my head, thinking about what I didn’t get a chance to do, and what I’d like to do with you.’ I leant in and kissed him more passionately than the last kiss.

  He made a sound that told me he liked what he was hearing and we continued to kiss as his hands started to explore my body.

  ‘Why don’t you tell me about it?’ he said, in a low and soft voice before he began kissing my neck.

  One of his hands was holding me against him and the other drifted across my breast. I could feel that his cock was becoming hard as it floated between my legs making contact with my underwear.

  ‘I’d love to show you,’ I said, as I reached down between my legs taking the base of his cock in my hand. I ran my hand all the way along his thick shaft. The size of it aroused me so much, as did the sound that came from Hudson as I stroked him.

  ‘You might not be able to show me in here,’ he said, as he took my hand and placed it back on his cock moving it down the shaft again, then back up, guiding me with his hand around mine. The way he took control like that got me so turned on, I could feel myself starting to throb in my underwear. We kissed heavily as I continued to stroke him.

  ‘I think we should go back to the beach,’ I said.

  I was so aroused that the thought of getting caught wasn’t even terrifying me anymore, it was all just intense excitement.

  ‘There’s a private little cove just around that point,’ he suggested.

  ‘I like the sound of that,’ I said, in between kisses.

  We stayed in our embrace, our lips finding each others as he carried me in the water towards the cove. It was a very small sandy oasis, surrounded by walls of rock and tall green trees. The water gently lapped up against the beach and the sun shot through the green leaves in beautiful streams of light. Hudson held my hand as we walked out of the water and onto the sandy shore, the feeling of being close to him made my heart race with excitement. He pulled me against his firm body, kissing me passionately, with his tongue moving deep inside my mouth. Our tongues moved together, sliding gently in a beautiful dance. He took my hand and guided it to his cock again then let go as I took control. He moaned to let me know he liked what I was doing, and thrust his cock into my hand, working with my movements. I could feel the wetness emerging from him as I continued to stroke up and down. He kissed me hard on my neck as his hands caressed my body.

  ‘Oh Mae. That feels so good,’ he said, in short heavy bursts.

  I directed him to sit down in the sand. I think we both knew he was too tall for me to reach him from on my knees. He sat down on the sand, leaning back with his weight resting on his forearms. His chest was rising and falling heavily as I came down to meet him. The image of his hard long cock pulsing against his stomach was incredibly arousing. It was so thick and heavy as I took it in my hand. I watched on in pleasure at Hudson’s face as I stroked him. His eyes were closed, and his long breaths in were followed by deep exhales. The sound of his moans were turning me on so much. I moved my mouth down, closer to his wet pink flesh, teasing him by getting so close, and waiting as I watched him beg for it. He bit his bottom lip and had his eyes locked on my mouth as he thrust towards me.

  ‘I want you so bad,’ he said, as his hips moved up and down, pushing himself in and out of my hand.

  Starting with my tongue at the base, I licked all the way up his thick shaft until I reached the top and licked up his sweet juices.

  ‘You taste great,’ I said, as I licked him again, teasing him with my tongue.

  He moaned deeply and thrust gently towards my mouth to encourage me to do it again. Again I licked the entire length of his cock, and when I reached his soft pink flesh, I circled it with my tongue, teasing him even more. I held him in my hand and rubbed him against my lips. My lips were covered in his juices and the head of his cock slid effortlessly against them as I moved it around in circles. Hudson moved to push into my mouth and I continued to tease him some more knowing how bad he wanted it. I held him close to my mouth as I worked my hand up and down his shaft. Hudson’s breathing was heavy and his eyes were fixed on me.

  ‘I love watching you do that. You look so fucking sexy,’ he said, releasing a deep moan.

  I smiled and licked the head of his cock again before taking him deep into my mouth.

  ‘Oh yeah,’ he moaned, as he pushed into me.

  I had my hand gripped firmly around him and continued to stroke him as he moved in and out of me. I could see Hudson’s ab muscles tightening and knew it wouldn’t take long to get him off. I loved the way it felt to have him inside my mouth and I couldn’t help but moan in pleasure as I tasted him. My clit was throbbing so hard as I watched him enjoy me.

  He began to push deeper into my mouth, filling me with his flesh. He put one hand on my head and guided me at the speed he wanted. His rhythm was slow but strong as he worked himself into me. I could feel he was about to explode when his muscles tightened even more and he became rigid. He removed his hand from my head to let me know he was about to explode, but I encouraged him to stay inside me and he continued to thrust into me as he released in my mouth, his body gently convulsing as he came. I swallowed the sweet taste and slid him out from my mouth, slowly across my lips, licking up everything that was left.

  ‘That was incredible,’ said Hudson, catching his breath.

  He pulled me up to his mouth and kissed me. ‘Wow. That was so hot. I wasn’t expecting that at all,’ he said.

  ‘Neither was I, but I couldn’t resist.’

  Hudson had a playful look on his face. ‘I want to take you back to my place right now, and do things to you that I can’t do here.’

  ‘Well, let’s go then,’ I said.

  ‘First we’ve got to try and get out of here.’

  Hudson stood up and stepped to the edge of the rocks, peering around the point.

  ‘Shit,’ he said, and retreated back in.

  I panicked. ‘What? What is it?’

  ‘There’s got to be about thirty people headed this way!’ His voice was a soft whisper.

  ‘Oh my god. No. No!’ I was trying to think what to do when Hudson started laughing loudly.

  ‘Got you!’ he said, as his ab muscles contracted with each burst of laughter.

  I peered out down the beach and there was no one in sight. I turned around and gently slapped him on the arm.

  ‘Hudson!’

  ‘Sorry’ he said, ‘I couldn’t resist, it was just too easy.’

  ‘So is stealing your clothes!’ I climbed over the rocks and made a mad dash for the pile of clothes on the sand.

  Hudson’s legs were much longer than mine so he caught me in no time at all, then passed me and grabbed all of the clothes. I went to grab them from him.

  ‘Nah uh!’ He turned away and guarded them from me.

  ‘You’ll only get your clothes back on one condition.’

  ‘And what’s that?’ I asked

  ‘That you’ll have dinner with me tonight.’

  ‘You don’t need to hold my clothes ransom for that. I would have come willingly.’

  ‘Damn, I should have demanded something better... Like, you’ll cook me dinner tonight,’ he laughed.

  ‘Too late mister!’ I reached out my hand and he handed me my clothes.

  We both got dressed on the sand with nothing but the sound of the ocean and our laughter. I watched Hudson get d
ressed, savouring every bit of skin before it was hidden again in his clothes. Once we were dressed he took my hand and we walked back up the beach towards home.

  ‘You know what, I’m so sorry, I’ve completely forgotten that I’m staying at my friend Bec’s tonight. Her husband’s away for work, she’s heavily pregnant and just felt much safer having someone around, especially a nurse. I can’t believe I forgot. I’m so sorry!’

  I was so disappointed I couldn’t go back to his place, and I could tell he was too, but he did his best to hide it, and happily accepted my offer to reschedule.

  ‘I’d love to cook for you some other time, if you’d be happy with that?’ he asked.

  ‘I’d love that. I don’t think I’ve ever had a man cook for me.’

  ‘No way?’ Hudson seemed surprised.

  ‘Well maybe my dad…?’

  ‘That doesn’t count,’ he said.

  I shrugged my shoulders.

  ‘So not even a boyfriend has cooked for you?’

  ‘Nope.’

  ‘Well, not all women can be so lucky. As long as they treated you well in other ways, that’s all that matters I guess!’

  ‘That would’ve been nice, but I don’t think I got very lucky at all. All I got was some lasting souvenirs,’ I said, as I pointed over my back to where the scars were.

  I could see that Hudson didn’t know how to react, he was shocked by what I just said and didn’t want to over step the boundaries by saying anything.

  I looked up at him, linking my arm with his. ‘It’s okay, we can talk about it. I do want to open up to you, and this is probably a good place to start.’

  ‘Right. I’m so sorry, I had no idea. That thought never crossed my mind. My god, I mean, I thought maybe you were in some sort of accident… but Mae, if someone did that to you…’ He was shaking his head and couldn’t even finish the sentence.

  ‘It’s okay.’

  ‘Did you report him for that?’ he asked.

  ‘I couldn’t. It’s complicated. He’s a powerful man with a lot of influence in the community. No one knew what he was like, and no one would have believed me, especially not at the time anyway.’
