The Hazards of Sex on the Beach(42)

"Should I stop?"

"Yes, but only because I want tonight to be good." He kissed me, and  moved his hand between my legs. Reflexively I closed them, nervous about  the touch I knew was coming.

"Are you nervous?" His face became serious.

"A little." I hadn't had sex in well over a year. Even when I'd tried to  have a random hook-up in college, it hadn't worked, and I was  desperately in need of some physical satisfaction.

"But you want this?" His expression was conflicted. He didn't want to  stop, but I knew he would in a second if I asked him to. He was good old  Colton, the guy who'd been my friend for longer than I could remember,  and we were about to have sex.

"I want this."

"So do I." He moved my legs apart gently, distracting me with his lips  on my breast. I gasped as he slipped his fingers inside me.

I grabbed hold of his back, needing to anchor myself on something. I  could still hear the low music and laughter from the party, and although  it wasn't likely anyone would happen upon us, the chances were much  higher if I let out a scream.

He lifted up his head, reading my mind. "It's okay. You don't have to be quiet."

"Yes, I do."

"If I do my job right, you're not going to be able to." The goofy smile  was back, relaxing me so I could enjoy the sensation his busy fingers  created.

"I want you." The words came out altogether. I wanted more than his  fingers, I wanted him. Never in a million years would I have expected to  hook up with Colton like that, but I didn't care.

"I want you too." He pulled a condom from his wallet and unwrapped it  before moving over me. "I swear I'm going to worship you, Mallory." He  thrust into me, making me gasp again. After so much time without being  touched, my body wasn't prepared for it.

He stilled. "Are you okay?"

"Yeah. I'm fine."

"You're not a virgin … " He said it half as a question.

"No, but it's been awhile."

A look of triumph crossed his face. "If it hurts, we don't have to."  That was Colton, willing to cut off his own pleasure if it meant giving  me what I wanted. I don't know how I hadn't noticed that his interest  had gone way beyond friendship before. Maybe I didn't want to see it. It  was easier to pretend his playful flirting was all for show.

"I want this." I thrust my hips against him, and he immediately moved inside me again.

"I'll give you everything you've ever wanted," he whispered against my ear, keeping his movements slow.

"Don't be so careful with me." I pushed up against him again. "I want all of you."

He didn't answer. Instead, he sped up, thrusting into me faster and  harder until I thought I'd completely lose control. I dug my nails into  his back and used his lips to silence the scream that wanted to come out  when he pushed me over the edge. I'd never felt that way before.

He reached his release but stayed inside me, keeping his weight on me as we laid there sweaty and out of breath.

"You're amazing, Mallory. Amazing." He rolled off me, pulling me into his arms so my head could lay on his chest.

"So are you." I closed my eyes, letting myself fade off into the sleep of someone very drunk and completely satisfied.
