Page 6 of Blow Me Away
“Didn’t think you’d be into that.”
Elliott looked at him with a deep furrow in her brow as she stared at him in confusion. “What part of how I’ve been during sex makes you think I wouldn’t be?”
“That’s definitely fair,” he replied absentmindedly, gazing out at the water.
“Benny,” she whispered, nudging him with her elbow. “I want you to take more risks.”
His nose crinkled as he thought over her words. Without responding, he abruptly stood, facing her with a hand outstretched. Elliott slowly slipped her hand into his, allowing him to pull her up to her feet. Together they walked away from the crowd, the music growing faint but not disappearing from their ears.
Cooper sat down while she glanced behind them back at the college students, watching for a moment as some of them danced with each other while others were doing shots and playing volleyball.
Elliott went to sit beside him when he suddenly reached a hand out, taking her drink from her hand so she could sit down without spilling out. Once she was beside him, he gave her back her drink before staring out at the water.
But she watched him.
“You do that a lot, you know,” she said, averting her attention to the waves as he had.
“Do what?” he asked, glancing at her out of the corner of his eye.
Elliott sighed gently, setting her cup down in the sand before putting her hands behind her and resting on them. “Zone out, get lost in your thoughts.”
“I’m just thinking about you.” She gave him a look of disbelief. “What? It’s the truth.”
“I’ll take your word for it,” she responded, her gaze drifting back out to the ocean. “But you know, there are plenty of places I want to fuck you, too. Don’t think I forgot what you said to me that first night we had sex.”
Cooper laughed, shaking his head at his woman. He hummed before asking, “Where might those be?”
“That’s for me to know and for you to find out,” she retorted.
“You know, if you tell me,” he said, suddenly climbing over the top of her and pushing her down onto her back, “I’ll do it. I’ll fuck you and please you in every single place you want in every way that you want.”
She bit her lip for a moment, staring up at him before she told him, “Take me then.”
“What?” He asked, taken aback as he pulled back slightly to get a more clear look at her. “Right here?”
“Right now,” Elliott followed up, nodding. “You said if I told you, you’d do it. So what are you waiting for, lover?”
Cooper glanced back at the large group of college students, all of them too distracted or drunk to notice the two of them. Looking back down at her, he couldn’t help it as his arousal and bravery spurred to life on their own accord.
“I could just pull your bikini bottoms to the side,” he told her, his fingertips lightly grazing down her side and stopping at the top of her unbuttoned shorts. “I highly doubt anyone would notice.”
“Go on then,” she taunted, hoping that he’d do just that.
He faltered slightly, his sudden bravery disappearing as quickly as it had appeared. “Aren’t you worried about someone seeing us?”
“Cooper,” she said sternly, so he’d listen as she gripped the back of his neck tightly. “I do not give a shit if anyone sees us. In fact, let them. We’ve been over this—I don’t mind people watching.”
“Help me understand, huracà,” he told her gently, and her frustration dissipated immediately. “Help me understand how you’re okay with that.”
Elliott thought it over, trying to figure out the words she wanted to say. “There’s something hot about the idea of someone seeing you fuck me, because then they’ll know that you’re mine, and I’m yours.”
“I thought you wanted to be—”
“Just friends?” She finished for him. “I do. But that doesn’t mean I can’t admit you’re the best fuck I’ve ever had, and that I plan on keeping you around for a while, if you’ll let me.”
Cooper smiled, looking down at her adoringly as he pushed some of her blonde hair that had stuck to her cheek from the mist of the ocean water behind her ear. “Are you sure this is what you want? Because once we start, I doubt I’ll be able to stop.”
She wasn’t sure if he was referring to them being friends with benefits or if he was referring to them here, on this beach, right now. But as she lay there beneath him, she realized she didn’t care which one he meant.
