“I can’t hold back,” Seth said, grabbing a fist full of her hair.
“Then don’t,” she replied, her voice sounding deeper, more sultry than normal. “I want all of you.”
Julia felt the heat radiating from Seth’s body when he wrapped his arms around her, pulling her down onto him, groaning with each thrust. Julia let her head fall back, looking up to the sky. Opening her eyes, she let herself go, allowing the rush of her orgasm to wash over her the like waves crashing against the beach. She felt Seth swell and explode, his heat filling her.
Touching her lips to his made the perfect ending to such an intense orgasm. She wanted to tell him how good he made her feel. She wanted to tell him how much he made her feel like a woman again, how he made her feel things she could have never imaged. She wanted to tell him how much she loved the feel of his touch on her skin. But she didn’t. She just kissed him instead, and hoped that her lips could relay something to him that she couldn’t let words do.
CHAPTER 12
J ulia let her shoes dangle from her fingers and brush against her knees. Seth stood behind her, pressed against her, and she felt the heat from his breath on the back of her neck. Her lips parted, her eyes closed, and she let out a long slow breath. I guess he wants more. She grinned, loving the thought that Seth wanted her – that a young, hot guy like Seth wanted her.
The elevator dinged and the doors glided open. Seth took her hand and walked around her, exiting the doors first. “Want to wash the sand off?” he asked as they walked off the elevator and into the hall. “You can take a shower in my room, maybe stay the night with me.”
Julia looked deep into Seth’s eyes. The feelings she knew so well – fear, doubt, pain – began to rise up in her chest. She did her best to hide them, but Seth must have sensed them anyway. He led her by the hand to the end of the hall to a window that overlooked the beach. The moon was hanging high in the sky. The moonlight reflecting of the soft waves of the ocean look like diamonds skipping along the surface. Julia gazed out over the beauty of the island and all the negative emotions she felt melted away. He wants me. Her mind opened, and so did her heart. And I want him.
She turned and faced Seth. “I don’t have anything to wear,” she said, chuckling.
“I’m sure I can find you something to wear for the night,” Seth said. “If you insist on wearing clothes.” He gave her a playful smirk. Julia and Seth walked silently hand in hand to his hotel room.
Seth turned to lock the door, and Julia began to undress, pulling her hair around to hang down over her breasts, reaching behind her to unfasten her zipper. “I don’t want to take a shower,” she said. Her voice was low and seductive. “At least not alone.” She pushed her dress off her shoulders and it feel to the floor at her feet, leaving her standing in front of Seth, completely nude and exposed.
Seth’s eyes widened and his mouth hung open slightly. He blinked a few times. Julia smiled, loving his gaze coasting up and down her body. This is going to be fun.
Julia walked into the bathroom without looking back and turned on the shower, dipping her fingers under the water to check the temperature. “Are you coming?” she said. “The water and I are both getting pretty hot.” Julia heard a bang and a clang and then Seth appeared in the bathroom door, completely naked, his penis partially erect. She didn’t bother to hide her smile and stepped inside the shower.
Bboth were silent, stealing seductive glances, rinsing off the remnants of their passion on the beach. Feeling impatient, Julia motioned for Seth to come closer.
Julia let out a long breath at the feel of Seth’s hands on her wet body. The heat from the water flowing over her skin did little to hide the heat growing between her legs. She leaned her head back allowing the streams of hot water to dampen her long hair. Seth cupped her breast in his hand, nibbling at her neck and ear. He took her nipple into his mouth and she watched the water run down her body and part around his lips. When her lips opened, he gently grabbed her chin and pressed his lips to hers. When their tongues touched, it sent bolts of heat shuddering through her, straight to her throbbing clit. His hand slid down her skin, and she opened her thighs to his touch. He hilted two fingers into her swollen hole, making her gasp and wrap her arms around him.
“Yes,” she whispered into his ear. His touch electrified her body and she wanted more. Julia arched her back, pushing her pelvis closer as Seth used his thumb to massage her clit and bring her to her first orgasm of the night.
Julia moaned into his mouth, reveling in the pleasures of his talented hands. “What do you say we move this to the bed,” Seth said. Julia grabbed a fist full of his hair pulling his lips deeper into hers. “I want you.”
Turning off the water, Julia turned to Seth and smiled. “So take me.”
Seth licked his lips and took Julia’s hands in his. He slowly escorted her to the bed. “I want to push the envelope a bit – show you my passion. Will you let me do that?”
“Yes,” she said.
“If I get too rough, or if anything I do is too much for you, just say enough and I’ll back off – you have my word. Okay?” Julia felt her stomach quiver. She was nervous, but excited. She nodded. “You have to say the words.”
“Yes,” she said. You can do whatever you want to me.
Julia’s senses and curiosity heightened, and Seth moved closer, pushing his tongue deep in her mouth. She sucked in a deep breath as he inserted his fingers into her opening. She allowed him to make her pussy his playground. Julia met his eyes, watching his expressions change with his movements and the way he massaged and manipulate her clit. Julia realized he was watching her face for cues, each reaction she offered determining his next move.
Seth moved to the end of the bed, and grabbed Julia by her ankles. He rolled her over onto her stomach and moved into place, giving Seth the freedom to coax her with his hands. He pulled on her hips, putting her into a position on all fours. As Seth situated himself behind her, she felt his fully erect penis pressing against her ass. Julia smiled. Take me. He pressed his knee between her legs, forcing them apart. Before Julia realized what he was doing, he was inside her, thrusting in and out. She cried out in a muddled reaction of shock and pleasure.
A smack echoed through the room as Seth’s hand swatted her ass. Julia gasped. She felt the sweet sting left behind, rewarding her with a euphoric rush. She wanted more. Turning over her shoulder, she smiled at Seth. “Is that all you got?” she said, teasingly. Her tone was deep and raspy, unrecognizable to her own ear.
Seth laughed. “No, baby,” he said. “We’re just getting started.” He smacked her ass again, and Julia opened her mouth, sucking in a quick breath of air. Concentrating on the heat from the contact of Seth’s hand on her skin, Julia came to a realization. What the fuck? This is so hot. She rocked her hips backwards into Seth’s thrusts. She felt the orgasmic fire building and dug her nails into the fabric beneath her. Why have I never tried this shit before?
Julia felt Seth’s hand in her hair, running his fingers through her long auburn tresses. Chills ran down her back and her nipples hardened, pulling at the surrounding skin. Seth wrapped her hair around his hand, holding onto it like the bridle of a horse. He pulled gently at first, and Julia obliged, her head bending backwards against her shoulders. Slowly, Seth pulled harder, increasing the force of his thrusts inside her with each yank of her hair. She moaned and whimpered, reeling in the new sensations and the feel of him inside her, filling her completely.
Her breathing quickened, she could barely catch her breath between his forceful thrusts. Julia arched her back, and pressed her breasts out and forward as the waves of orgasm took over. Seth scraped his fingers down her back, intensifying her climax. Julia lost all sense of control and cried out, moaning repeatedly with the pulses of pleasure.
As Julia quieted, Seth flipped her on her back, and kissed her hard and deep. His hand touched the outside of her thigh and ran up her side, ending at her chest. He placed his hand on her neck, lightly squee
zing to show her he’s in control. Julia grabbed his wrist. “Trust me,” he said, breathless. “I won’t hurt you.” She let go.
Seth positioned himself between her legs, and without warning, shoved his engorged dick into her quivering opening. Julia gasped and braced her arms against the wall, hoping his fast deep pace would make her come again. He thrust harder and squeezed his fingers around her neck a little tighter.
Trying to take a breath, it took more effort for Julia to inhale. Her body contracted, and she felt the passion rising with each plunge of his dick inside her. Julia wrapped her legs around Seth’s back, and pulled him closer. Seth took her hint. He let go of her throat, pushed himself up on his arms, and rocked his hips fast and hard.
Julia held onto Seth’s arms, digging her nails into his large biceps. Her lust rose to the highest crescendo she had ever felt and she cried out. Within seconds, Seth lowered his body down onto hers, and thrust gave one last thrust. She felt the throbbing heat of Seth’s orgasm inside and heard the beautiful growl of his release in her ear. His body stilled and Julia could feel his heart beat against her chest.
Seth rolled off and they lay silently for a few minutes. Their only movement was the rising and falling of their chests, and the tiny back and forth caress of Seth’s thumb against her thigh. He stood up, walked out of the room. He returned carrying two bottles of water and a t-shirt. “Thank you,” she said, taking the items from his hands. She put on the shirt, and quickly drank half the water.
“You okay,” he asked. He returned to this position on the bed beside her.
“Yeah, why?” She replied between sips of water. She sat on the edge of the bed, scooting to a place near the center. Seth moved in close.
“I just didn’t know if it was too much or if I was too rough.” Seth looked down and played with the cap on his water bottle.
“No,” she said, lifting his head with her fingertips. “I’m fine.” She leaned forward and kissed him. “Are you okay?”
Seth rubbed the area on his bicep where Julia had dug in her nails. “Yeah,” he said, smiling. “I’m good. I liked it. It was hot.”
“Well,” Julia said, “At the risk of giving your already big ego an unneeded boost that was probably the best sex I’ve ever had in my life.”
Seth’s eyes widened and he smiled wide. “Really?” He asked. “Seriously? You’re not just saying that to make me feel good. You enjoyed it?”
“Yes,” she said. She kissed him again. “But now I’m tired.” She laughed.
Julia watched Seth drink his water and turn out the light. He lay on his back and Julia rested her head on his chest, rubbing his arm when he wrapped it around her. Julia sighed as Seth played with her hair for a few moments before she heard him softly snoring.
How is this man not married? Or at least have a girlfriend? Damn. She took a deep breath and feel asleep listening to his heartbeat.
CHAPTER 13
J ulia nudged Seth with her arm. “Seth. Someone’s at the door.” He didn’t move. The knocking continued. “Hey.” Julia sat up, naked from the waist down, still wearing Seth’s t-shirt. She rocked Seth back and forth. “You have to wake up. Someone is knocking on the door.”
“What?” Seth opened his eyes and lifted his head off the pillow. He looked around the room and then fixed his eyes on Julia. “Wow,” he said. “That’s a great way to start the day.” Seth’s head snapped toward the door as the knocking returned, louder this time.
“I told you,” Julia laughed. “Someone’s knocking on the door.” She tucked her lower half under the sheet. Seth threw the covers off and hopped out of the bed. Grabbing his jeans off the chair in the corner, he pulled them on and moved toward the door.
Julia leaned back and stretched, twisting to the left and right. She heard the latch and the chain. “Hey, hi,” Seth said. “Yeah. I’ll meet you guys downstairs.” Julia pushed her elbow into the pillow as she propped herself up on her side. “Dude, I have company.”
“Yeah right.” Julia heard another man’s voice. “Let me in.” Julia looked down to make sure all her important parts were covered.
“Seriously, Paul. I have company.” Seth’s voice was louder, and he sound extremely aggravated. Suddenly, a young man that Julia had seen Seth with earlier walked into the room. He stopped abruptly and stared.
“Oh,” he said. “Hey there.”
Julia wiggled her fingers at him. Seth walked into the room and sat on the bed next to Julia. “Paul, this is Julia. Julia, Paul. I believe you met the other night. He was just leaving. So I’ll see you later, Paul.”
“Nice to see you again, Julia,” Paul said. “I’m sorry to barge in, but I honestly thought that Seth was pulling my leg. He’s not exactly the type that picks up a hot – a smoking hot – woman and brings her back to his room.” Paul scanned his eyes up and down Julia’s body.
“Oh, well, that’s good to know,” she joked.
“Okay,” Seth interjected. “Now you know, so leave.” He stood and pushed his friend on the shoulder toward the door.
“Two o’clock, Seth. Don’t be late.” Paul looked over his shoulder.
“I won’t.” Seth replied, still pushing Paul.
“What’s at two o’clock?” Julia asked.
“Seth is a groomsman at the wedding,” Paul said. He did a spin move and turned back to face Julia. “I think he’s going for a record. What’s this make – your fifth?”
“Sixth.” Seth sighed as he corrected Paul.
“The perpetual groomsman, huh, Seth?”
“Yeah.” Seth began pushing his friend again. “Funny. Good-bye. See you later. Leave now.”
Julia listened to Seth whispering with his friend for moment before tossing the sheet back and placing her feet on the floor. I should probably meet up with the girls. Don’t want them thinking I have totally abandoned them. She grabbed her clothes off the floor and got dressed, tossing Seth’s t-shirt on the end of the bed.
“You leaving?” Seth said coming back into the room.
“Yeah,” Julia said, grabbing her shoes and purse off the floor. She touched the screen on her phone but nothing happened. “Dead. Dammit. Now I really have to go before my friends call the FBI or something.”
Seth wrapped his arms around Julia and hugged her. God he smells good. How can he smell this good getting out of bed?
“Hey,” Seth said. He took a step back. “I have an idea. Why don’t you come to the wedding with me?”
“Oh, um,” Julia walked around Seth and moved toward the door. “I don’t think that’s a good idea. Besides, I’m not too into the whole bonds of marriage thing right now. I’m pretty cynical when it comes to the ‘til death do you part bullshit.”
Julia walked into the hall and Seth stood in the open doorway. “Well, can I see you tonight?” he said. “After? I still have your extra room key.”
Julia leaned in to Seth and put her lips to his ear. “Use it,” she whispered. She kissed him softly on the lips and then turned to walk away. “Even if I’m asleep,” she said walking down the hall toward the elevator. “Use the key.” Julia spun around to look back at Seth who was now leaning out into the hallway. “I would love to wake up to the feel of your touch on my skin.” Julia turned the corner and jogged toward the elevator.
Pushing the elevator call button, Julia’s feet were still moving. Wendy is probably pissed! She jumped onto the elevator and pushed the button for her floor. They’re going to kill me.
CHAPTER 14
Back in her hotel room, Julia called Grace.
“Wendy has been spending time with Kevin,” Grace said. Julia heard music in the background and felt a pang of guilt in her heart. “Mia, Deb, and I have been doing all kinds of stuff – hiking, wine tasting, and we even went snorkeling.”
“So you guys aren’t mad?” Julia kicked off her shoes and yanked her sequin dress over her head.
“Are you kidding me?” Grace said. Her voice was loud and cheerful. “We’re happy for you. It’s
exactly what you needed. And like Deb said, as long as you’re there for the last day at the beach before we go home, the rest of it will work itself out.”
“I can’t thank you enough,” Julia said. “I wanted to stay longer, but I’m just not into crowds right now.”
“I get it,” Grace said. “Totally get it. I’m just glad you came dancing with us for a while. Now get some sleep, go see your hottie, or whatever. Love you. Now I have to go. This is a great song!”
“Love you guys.” Julia laughed and hung up the phone. She climbed under the covers and in only a few minutes, she was fast asleep.
JULIA FELT the waves hit the back of her legs. The coolness of the water against her skin was refreshing. She looked out at the horizon, watching the sun slide down behind the sea, throwing brilliant colors of light against the sky like an artist’s canvas. The breeze off the ocean’s surface spritzed water against her face, stinging her skin, invigorating her senses.
“Julia ...” She heard her name on a gust of wind, whispered into her ear like a lover. “Julia ...”
Julia opened her eyes and blinked several times, attempting to focus.
“Hey there, sleepy head,” Seth said. His voice was soft, like the voice on the wind in her dream. It was him. Julia looked into his eyes, happy to see him. She touched his face and smiled. That was his voice.
“Hi,” she said, still groggy from sleep. “I thought you would still be at the wedding.”
“I was,” he said. He pushed himself off the bed and moved to the table. “I did my duty as a groomsman, made my toast, danced my dance, and then talked to my buddy. I think I may have talked about you a lot because he told me to leave. I guess he could tell I didn’t want to be there.” Seth walked back to the bed, his hands full. “I brought you something, from the wedding.”
