Believe In Love

by Mota, Janet A.

  I put on the bikini I bought during one of my shopping trips. It’s stringy and leaves little to the imagination. I wasn’t sure about it but the sales girl insisted that I buy it. She said my curves looked amazing in it so I took her word for it. I’m still self-conscious but it will only be the two us. I look in the mirror, put on my cover-up, put my hair in a ponytail and head out.

  I can see Dylan sitting on the sand. He doesn’t have a shirt on. His sexy muscular back makes my mouth go dry. When he came to bed last night without a shirt, I nearly fell over. Dylan without a shirt on is a sight to behold. I knew he had muscles and was going to look great without a shirt but I never expected what I saw. He’s hairless and beautifully built. He has amazing abs and arms you just want to lick. He has a tattoo on his right upper arm. It some kind of tribal symbol. It’s so damn hot.

  I walk up behind him and he’s sitting on a blanket with a picnic basket next to him. He hears me approach and stands.

  “You didn’t have to wait. You could’ve gone in.” I say and he smiles at me.

  “We go in together.” He points to the basket. “When we’re ready, I brought dinner.”

  “How do you think of everything?”

  “Well, I originally had the resort prepare it as our lunch and leave it in the fridge. Since we took longer at the aquarium, we will enjoy it for dinner.” He flashes me that beautiful grin and I can’t help but laugh.

  “Sounds good to me but the water is calling my name.” I place my hands at the hem of the cover-up and inch it up and off. I can feel Dylan’s eyes on me and I look at him. The grin is gone and he’s staring. His eyes are moving up and down my body. My immediate instinct is to cover myself but I resist the urge to do that. Instead, I stand there and let him look.

  “Holy fuck…” He says and runs a hand through his hair. “You look…umm…sexy as hell.”

  “Thank you.” I say and reach my hand out. He takes my hand and I lead us into the water. A minute later, we are in deep enough that we can submerge into the water. We swim around a bit. I am looking at the ocean floor when his arms wrap around me from behind. I lean into him. His strong arms always make me feel so safe. I turn around and wrap my arms around his neck. I can feel his erection and I smile.

  “You’re driving me crazy.” He whispers in my ear.

  “That wasn’t my intention. I swear it.” I whisper back. I can’t help the smile on my face though.

  “That’s what makes you even hotter to me.” He says and pulls back slightly to look me in the eyes. He leans in and places his lips over mine. His kisses melt my insides every single time. He’s sweet, sensual and extremely passionate. I have no doubt how he feels about me when he kisses me. I just hope that I am conveying the same message through my kisses. As our kiss deepens, my natural instinct is to wrap my legs around his waist. I do it and I can tell I startled him. He pulls away from our kiss and searches my eyes. He must have seen what he was looking for and kisses me again. I run my hands down his back and back up into his hair. I hear him moan every time I run my hands through his hair. His hands only roam my back until he fists one hand in my hair and pulls my head back gently. His lips find my neck and he kisses me along my throat and back up to under my earlobe. A gasp escapes my lips and he continues down to my collarbone. He comes back up to my mouth and the feverish kisses continue. A minute later, he abruptly pulls away from our kiss.

  “Baby, we need to stop now. If we don’t, I’m going to take you back to our bungalow and do wicked things to you.” He says and I can feel my cheeks get hot.

  “Sorry.” I say and release my legs from around his waist. I try to hide my face but his hand cups my chin and forces my face to his.

  “Do not apologize. I am just telling you that I want you badly and I want to respect your boundaries.” He gives me a small smile. “You drive me insane with want. I have never wanted a woman as much as I want you. I love you.”

  “I love you too.”

  He starts splashing water at me and soon we are having a splashing war. The war goes on for some time and I find myself starving.

  “I’m hungry.” I tell him and he laughs.

  “Well, let’s go eat.”

  We get back to the blanket and quickly towel off. I wrap the towel around me. He wraps the towel around his waist and we both sit. Dylan opens the basket and takes out chicken salad sandwiches, strawberries, chips, sodas and brownies.

  “It all looks so good.”

  “Dig in.”

  We eat and talk. We watch the sunset hand in hand while lying on the blanket. I have never been so relaxed and content in my whole life. I turn to him.

  “Thank you.”

  He turns his head to look at me. “For what?”

  “For being the man to save me. For showing me how to live and for giving me peace.”

  He reaches over and puts his hand on my cheek. “I will always be here for you and I will always make sure to give you what you need.”

  Birthday

  Amber

  The past week has been so much fun. Dylan has opened my eyes to what fun is and I’m soaking it up like a sponge. I found out that I love water sports, especially jet skis. They are so much fun. Dylan and I raced them and I won. We have tried every excursion that the resort offers. Dylan hasn’t let me pay for anything and I’m feeling terrible about that. I have told him so but he tells me that he brought me on vacation and not the other way around. I’ve let it go but I’ll pay him back eventually.

  Right now, we are walking back to our bungalow from the restaurant where we had my birthday dinner. I chose Italian tonight and it was really good. The food has been phenomenal and I have been able to try new types of food.

  Dylan and I have gotten closer in the last couple of days. It’s getting harder to resist him and his kisses. I have to admit that he’s extremely respectful and sometimes it pisses me off but I’m too shy to tell him that he can go further. I want him to go further. I shake the anger away later when I think about what he said. You will need to make the first move. He told me that from the moment we started dating so I can’t be mad at him.

  We reach our bungalow. Dylan takes out the key card and unlocks the door. He opens the door for me and I walk him. My jaw nearly hit the ground when I see all the candles lit around the room. I turn the corner and on the kitchenette table is a small birthday cake. There is a single lit candle on the top. I turn to see him standing behind me with a smile on his face.

  “Happy Birthday, baby.” He says and I nearly turn into a pile of goo.

  “Thank you for everything. I will never forget this birthday.”

  “I intend to make every birthday you have as special as possible. You deserve it all and so much more.” He leans down and places his lips to mine. “I love you.”

  “I love you too.”

  “Now, close your eyes and make a wish.” He picks up the cake and brings it to me. I do what he says and blow out the candle. He sets the cake down and walks to the small fridge. He pulls out a small bottle of champagne and opens it. He pours two glasses and hands me one.

  “A toast.” I smile and raise my glass to his. “You are the most amazing woman I know and I am blessed to call you mine. I hope you’ve had a happy birthday and many more to come.”

  “Thank you.”

  I cut the cake and we enjoy it and the champagne. We talk about what we want to do on our last day here and we decide to make it a relaxing day of enjoying the bungalow and our own private pool.

  “I’m going to get ready for bed.” I say and get up to head into the bedroom.

  “Just a second.” He says and reaches into his pocket. “Your present.”

  He hands me a small box. I’m seriously shocked. He didn’t need to get me a gift especially since he’s given me the best birthday gift ever-this amazing trip.

  “Dylan, you’ve given me so much already. I feel terrible.” He places his hand on mine.

  “Get used to it love.�
�� He kisses my temple. “Open it.”

  I take the lid off the box and gasp. Sitting there are diamond stud earrings. I’m not one for flash so these earrings are perfect. “They’re beautiful.” I wrap my arms around his waist and lay my head on his chest. “You are too good to be true. Thank you. I love them.”

  “I’m glad you like them.” He says as he hugs me right back and places a kiss to the top of my head. We break apart after a minute and I go to the hall mirror. I remove the cubic zirconia studs I always wear and replace them with Dylan’s. I love them. “They’re perfect on you.”

  I kiss him. “Thank you so much.” I whisper against his lips.

  “My pleasure.” He whispers back. I giggle and head into the bedroom to get ready for bed.

  ****

  I walk into the bedroom and close the door as Dylan watches me with a grin on his face. I lean against the closed the door. Tonight is going to be the night. I have no reason to wait any longer. He has proven over and over again how good of a man he is and that he’s not going anywhere. I love him. I can see and feel the love he has for me. He wouldn’t have spent all this time and money on me to just walk away after sleeping with me. It’s time for us.

  I walk to my suitcase and pull out the black nightgown I bought during one of my shopping excursions. I had gone to a lingerie store to buy new panties and bras when I came across this little number. It’s black and flows down to my ankles. It has spaghetti straps and lace around the breasts. It came with a black lacy thong. I tried it on along with the bras and fell in love with it. I bought it for this occasion.

  I open the bedroom door and peek out. Dylan is sitting on the couch watching television. I sneak into the bathroom and get myself ready for this special night.

  A few minutes later, I walk out of the bathroom wearing the nightgown. I walk up to him and he looks up at me. His mouth falls open and he looks me up and down. “Wow.” He says. I hold out my hand and he takes it. I help him stand and grab the remote. I turn off the remote and start toward the bedroom. Still holding my hand, he follows behind me. When we get to the bed, I turn to him. “You are so sexy.”

  I wrap my arms around his neck and push him towards me. I kiss him hard and passionately. “I want you.” I say.

  He looks at me for a moment. “I want you too, so badly. Are you sure?”

  “I’ve never been surer of anything in my life. I love you and I’m ready for us.”

  He captures my mouth and our kiss is hot. One of his hands goes into my hair at the back of my head and the other sits on my hip. My hands are cupping his gorgeous face. Our kiss gets hotter and more intense. His tongue explores my mouth and meets mine. We can’t get enough of each other. My hands move down to the buttons of his shirt and I start to unbutton it. I feel the hand at my waist move down to cup my ass and I moan. He pulls away from me and starts to kiss my cheek and then down to my neck. I wrap my arms around his neck as he makes his way further down to my breasts. I push him away from me and take a step back. He watches me intently.

  I reach up and push the straps off my shoulders. I continue to push the nightgown off until it is a black puddle at my feet. I stand before him in nothing but the black thong. I watch him as he looks at me. He looks at my body from head to toe slowly. When his eyes reach mine, he shakes his head.

  “I’ve never seen anything more gorgeous in my life. You’re stunning.”

  I give him a shy smile and walk toward him. I push his shirt off his shoulders and kiss every part of his chest that I can before he grabs my face and brings it to his for another kiss. His hands are roaming all over my body and it’s exhilarating. I’ve never felt this way. It feels so right. His hands are warm and strong and I love the way they feel all over my body.

  We move to the bed and I climb on. He watches me with a grin while he removes his shoes, socks and pants. He has the most amazing body. I could stare at him all day. He joins me on the bed but doesn’t kiss me. He takes hold of one of my breasts and lightly sucks it. I gasp and moan. My hands go into his hair. I’ve never been this aroused and I’m starting to squirm under his touch. Every place he touches, goosebumps are what he leaves in is path. He moves his way down to kiss my stomach and my stomach quivers. It’s a movement only he can bring out of me. The anticipation is overwhelming. When he reaches my thong, he looks up at me and smiles. I watch him. I have no idea what he’s going to do next but I have a feeling he’s going to blow my mind.

  He pushes my thong down and off in one swift motion. He adjusts himself so that he is now in between my legs with his hands on my knees. All I want to do is close my legs but I fight the urge. He slowly spreads my knees and now I am in full view for him. He licks his lips and smiles at me. He lowers his head and before I know what’s happening next, his head is between my legs.

  “What are you…oh my god!” My words fall away with my surprise and crazy sensations are running through my body.

  His tongue is working magic in my most intimate place and I can feel the tightness in my belly. I can’t think and can barely breathe. The orgasm hits me so hard that I see stars. I swear I left my body for a few minutes there. When I open my eyes, Dylan is lying next to me. He is watching me with the sexiest smile on his face.

  “I love to watch you fall apart.” He whispers and kisses me. I can feel myself ready to explode again just from that kiss. He pulls away from me and removes his boxers. He’s now naked and I can’t take my eyes off of him. “Are you okay?”

  I clear my throat. “Yes.”

  “We can stop if you have changed…”

  I place my finger over his lips. “I want you now.”

  I reach over and open the night table drawer. There is a small box of condoms in there. I put them in there when we first got here, just in case. He reaches in and rips open the box. He pulls one out and rips open the packet. He slips it on and joins me back on the bed. He assumes his position in between my legs and captures my mouth. I can feel his hardness and it turns me on even more, if that’s possible. He reaches between us and strokes me.

  “Dylan, please. I need to feel you.” I can’t believe that’s me talking.

  He positions himself and slowly enters me as he captures my mouth for another mind-blowing kiss. I flinch a little at the sudden intrusion but it feels amazing. He stops moving. “Am I hurting you?”

  “No. Not at all.” I say and bring his mouth to mine. My hands are on his ass and I’m feeling all the muscle and curve to it. I move my hands up his back as my legs wrap around his waist.

  His body mimics his tongue and soon I am crying out in ecstasy. He stops abruptly.

  “You are so beautiful. Do you have any idea how amazing it feels to be inside you?” He asks.

  “If it’s anything like how you feel, then I do.” I say and he kisses me. He continues to move and soon I am shattering again and this time he comes with me. Our breathing is erratic and his body weight on me is the most wanted feeling. He always makes me feel safe, but like this, I feel like no harm can ever reach me. After a moment, he shifts and kisses me.

  “I’ll be right back.” He kisses my nose and heads to the bathroom.

  When he gets back, he spoons me to him and we both doze off to dreamland. I am in Dylan’s arms and we just made love. Nothing in the world is better than being right here with him.

  Loving

  Dylan

  There are no words to describe the feelings running through my body right now. I just made love to the woman of my dreams yet I cannot put into words to describe it. She’s perfect, amazing, unbelievable, mind-altering, earth-shattering and I love her with all of my heart and soul. I never questioned my love for her. I knew it the day I had dinner at her house and she told me all about her life. I knew she was and is the one for me.

  I am spooning her and I can hear her slow steady breaths. She’s sleeping. I raise my head up on and prop it up on my hand. She looks relaxed and sated. I hope she really is. I hope I made tonight spec
ial for her. I’m exhausted but I want her again and I am giddy with excitement for round two. My thoughts wander while I watch her sleep.

  A few minutes later, I feel her stir. She turns her head and looks at me.

  “What are you doing?” She asks.

  “Watching you sleep and thinking.” She turns completely so that we’re face to face.

  “What are you thinking about?”

  I chuckle. “You and all the wicked things I want to do to you.”
