Riley froze and glared at me.
"Did you sleep with Kayla?" I repeated slowly.
"Lexi, I don't understand why you would ask me such a question. Have I not made myself crystal clear I am in love with you, and have been for years? I told you the ONLY reason I came to Navarre Island was in the hopes I would finally have the chance to connect with you. Now you're here and I'm here, and besides being incredibly busy these last few weeks, I've never been happier! It's all because my dreams of you and me are finally becoming a reality. Lexi I..."
"You said you loved me." I interrupted. I was dumbfounded at hearing the words no one had ever expressed before.
Riley wrinkled her forehead. "Of course I do." she said matter-of-factly.
I reached up to her face and drew myself closer, pressing my lips against hers. Time stopped for us and her warmth radiated into my flesh. Her arm slipped around the small of my back and she pulled me closer. She parted my lips with hers and they began to dance with one another as our tongues did the same.
I kissed her harder and faster and she reciprocated my fire. I threw my head back to catch my breath. Without a break, she was on my neck, kissing it with a wild passion. "Make love to me!" I huffed.
Her kissing returned to my lips and only received the briefest of pauses as my sweatshirt was tugged over my head. She closed the gap between us and kissed my breasts as my bra was unclasped and slipped from my arms to the floor. I lifted my chin and closed my eyes as her kisses moved along my belly. Riley's hands slipped under the elastic waist of my sweatpants and under my panties. Her touch followed the curve of my hip all the way to my ankles.
She stopped kissing my skin and rested on her knees, gazing up at me. My eyes opened and I grinned at her.
"I've never seen anything so beautiful, Lexi. You're like an angel."
I stepped out of my clothes as she held them. "Your turn." I whispered.
"Not yet." she said. "I want to make this last."
"Won't they wonder where I'm at?"
Riley was overcome with a huge smile. "I checked you out for the whole night."
Giddy, I dropped to a crouch, ran my fingers through her hair and we reconnected.
She denied me. "Stand back up. I want to look at you again." I did and her hands grazed my thighs. She spread her fingers and took my hips firmly in her hands. "You are perfection." she whispered. Her hands moved to my tummy, then to my small waist, and finally to my behind. She squeezed and kneaded my buttocks as I exhaled desperately.
"I can't take it, Riley. I need you."
