He exhaled slowly, his voice steady. “You’re not alone now.”
I looked at him then, my chest tightening at the way he said it. A promise. A fact.
The boat rocked gently, and Sebastian shifted closer, his knee brushing against mine. His hand found my chin, tilting it slightly, forcing me to meet his gaze.
“I’ve missed this,” he murmured.
I swallowed hard. “Me too.”
He ran his thumb over my jaw, slow and careful. “You have no idea what you do to me, Mariana.”
I leaned in, closing the space between us. Sebastian met me halfway, his lips warm and sure, his hands anchoring me against him. There was nothing hesitant about this kiss. No uncertainty. Just heat and familiarity, the way we always fit together.
I curled my fingers into his shirt, deepening it, feeling the soft sigh he let out as I pressed against him. The water rocked beneath us, the quiet ripples against the boat the only sound, besides our breath.
“You look so fucking sexy in that dress.” He says against my lips. “I don’t want tonight to end.”
I let out a soft laugh, breathless. “Me either.”
Sebastian’s eyes darkened as he pulled me closer, his hands sliding down to my waist. The moonlight danced across the water, casting ethereal shadows on his face. I traced my fingers along his jaw, feeling the slight stubble beneath my touch.
“We don’t have to end it,” I whispered, my heart racing.
He leaned in, capturing my lips once more. The kiss deepened, years of longing poured into every touch. The boat rocked gently beneath us, the water lapping softly against its sides.
Sebastian’s hands roamed my body, slipping under my dress and leaving trails of heat in their wake. I arched into him, my fingers tangling in his hair.
The cool night contrasted with the warmth of our bodies, sending shivers down my spine. I tugged at the hem of his shirt, pulling it over his head. Moonlight gleamed on his skin, highlighting the familiar planes of his chest. I ran my hands over him, relishing every curve and dip.
He unzipped my dress with reverent slowness, peeling it away as if unwrapping a gift. His eyes roamed over me, dark with desire and something deeper. “God, you’re beautiful,” he murmured.
I pulled him close, skin against skin, relishing the warmth of his body against mine. Our lips met again, urgent and hungry. Sebastian’s hands roamed my curves, drawing soft gasps from my throat.
The cool night air raised goosebumps on my exposed skin, a delicious contrast to the heat building between us. With careful movements in the gently rocking boat, Sebastian laid me back onto the blankets. He hovered over me, his eyes searching mine. “I dream about this all the time,” he whispered.
I reached up to trace his cheekbone. “Me too,” I breathed.
He lowered himself, pressing his body against mine. I wrapped my legs around his waist, pulling him closer. Sebastian groaned softly, burying his face in my neck.
His lips and tongue traced a path down my throat as his hands explored lower. I arched against him, lost in sensation. The boat swayed beneath us, the water lulling us into a rhythm. The night was still and silent, except for the sounds of our breath and lips meeting.
Sebastian’s kisses trailed down my body, leaving a trail of heat in their wake. I tangled my fingers in his hair, urging him on. His hands roamed over my skin, learning every inch as if for the first time.
Suddenly, he stilled and pulled back slightly. His hands patted around his pockets, a crease forming between his brows. “I don’t have…?” he exhaled, looking at me, hesitant.
I knew what he was asking, “I want to feel just you. I’m on the pill.” I say.
His expression changes, “Yeah? You want me bare, baby?”
I nod eagerly.
In one fluid motion, he positioned himself between my legs. His eyes locked onto mine as he slowly entered me. We moved together in perfect harmony, the boat rocking gently beneath us. Our bodies slick with sweat and our breaths mingled in the cool night air.
I clung to him tightly, lost in the sensations coursing through me. As we reached our peak together, time seemed to stand still.Our bodies shook with pleasure as we called out each other’s names into the stillness of the night.
Afterward, we lay tangled in each other’s arms as we watched the stars above us twinkle in approval. He looked up at me then, “I never stopped loving you, Mariana. Not for a single day.”
My heart clenched at his words. I cupped his face in my hands, pulling him up for a deep, searing kiss. “I love you too,” I breathed against his lips. “I always have.”
