Page 3 of Now that I Found You
“Mhmm.” She laughs, as I lead her over to the blanket laid out in the sand overlooking the water. When she sees the setup I had arranged for her, she lets out a subtle gasp before she wraps her arms around my waist.
“Callum,” she sighs. “I can’t believe…” Her voice drifts off, as she looks down at the flowers, along with the picnic basket.
“You did all of this?”
I nod. “Of course, I did.”
She rises up onto her toes, and I lean forward, pressing a kiss against her lips. “Thank you.”
I’ve always loved how easy it is to surprise Ellie. She is grateful for every ounce of love you show her, eager to soak it up. It only makes me want to find new ways to express how I feel for her, wanting to put the same look of love and appreciation on her face every day.
She steps back as I lower myself to the ground, helping her down between my legs. Wrapping my arms around her, pulling her close, she reclines against my chest.
“It’s so beautiful here, so peaceful,” she sighs blissfully, and I’d give anything to grant her this sense of calmness everyday of our lives. She deserves all the happiness in the world.
I nod. “It’s everything I hoped it would be for you.”
Leaning over, I pull the basket closer to us. Reaching in, I grab the sandwiches I had packed away earlier when Ellie was taking a nap. We sit here, our bodies entwined, eating as we reminisce over our week. Most of our time was spent tangled up together in our room or somewhere near the water.
“I’m not sure I’m ready to leave yet. Can’t we just stay here forever?” Ellie murmurs. She shifts her eyes downcast, tossing her napkin back into the basket. I help her clean up everything before she moves to situate herself back in my arms again.
“We still have the rest of the night here. We might as well enjoy what time we have left.”
Tilting my head forward, I press a kiss against her shoulder. She’s soft and warm from her sunburn, heat radiating from her skin. The moment my lips brush against her, I feel her body tremble beneath my touch.
I’ve always loved the way she reacts to me. Tracing my tongue over her shoulder, I kiss her again from the base of her neck up toward her jaw.
“Callum,” she breathes. Her hands grip my arms tightly, holding me to her.
“Yes, sweetheart?”
She doesn’t say anything, the words falling the moment they touch her lips coming out more like a small hiss, just as I press another kiss beneath her ear.
She tilts her head to the side, giving me better access to her, and I dive right in. Her chest rises and falls heavily with each forced breath.
Reaching my hand up beneath the curve of her breast, she rests her head back against my shoulder as my finger brushes over her nipple beading through the chiffon of her dress.
“Oh, God,” she whispers. She quickly checks around us, making sure we’re still alone.
“No one’s here, Ellie, but us. Just you and me. I’d never share you with anyone.”
She lets out an audible breath, relaxing again in my arms. She’s telling me without words she wants me to continue, and I do.
“Does that feel good?” I exhale against her cheek.
She nods, her tongue darting out, wetting her lips. She uncrosses her legs, leaving them stretched out in front of us. I brush my other hand over her stomach, down to the apex of her thigh, pulling the hem of her dress up enough for me to slip my hand beneath the material.
Her body shutters beneath me as I skim the tip of my finger over the seam of her panties, feeling her wetness seep through.
“Damn, sweetheart,” I groan, pressing my mouth against her shoulder once again.
Slipping my finger inside her panties, she lets her leg fall open for me. My cock aches in my pants by how bad she wants this right now. My finger grazes over her swollen clit and she doesn’t hold back, unleashing a breathy moan.
I alternate between rubbing her clit, to grazing the edge of her pussy lips, before she begs me to stop teasing her. She shifts her head back, her eyes meeting mine, and I see the hunger in the depths. My girl needs me to give her this and, God, I want to give her everything she wants and so much more.
“C’mere,” I mutter, urging her to turn to face me. Her movements are slow, her eyes in a daze, as I quickly unzip my pants. My cock rejoices when I wrap my hand around it, pumping it once, twice.
Her eyes laser into me and what I’m doing. I reach for her, needing to feel her body against mine, when she hesitates for a minute.
