Chapter Twelve

GEORGINA

We started packing up, covering the dying fire with sand. The sun was down, but there was still enough light left in the ocean-colored sky to see by.

Blake lifted and shook out the picnic blanket, and sand sprayed all over me.

“Watch it,” I said, picking up a handful of sand and tossing it back at him.

“Don’t start something you don’t want to finish,” he challenged.

I scooped a great ball of sand and flung it at his chest.

“That’s it.” He sprinted for me, and I squeaked, dashing away. On my short little legs, I had no chance. Blake barreled down on me, spreading the blanket like a net. He wrapped me up in it with him, and we both tumbled down into the gully between two dunes.

We were pressed together between the blanket, our bodies hot, sticky, and gritty. I spat sand from my mouth.

“This is very uncomfortable,” I said.

Blake’s voice was a grumble. “Well, if you’re going to have sex on the beach you need all the stuff that goes with it—sand in your ass crack, sand burn on your knees, sunburn on your back, waves almost drowning you, seaweed in your hair, the potential of strangers stumbling over you. Sex on the beach should be a ridiculously uncomfortable experience, or you’re not doing it right.”

I looked up at his eyes, so blue, and so close to mine. “Are we going to have sex on the beach?”

Blake pressed the tip of his nose against mine, then ran it up the length until his lips were there instead. “That’s up to you.”

He was right.

At every turn, I blamed not being able to stop myself, blamed being out of emotional control, but the truth was it was always up to me. I’d always made my choices. I’d always wanted him. And I wanted him now, too. I was choosing him. I was choosing this.

I would choose him, and I would make this right. I would tell him the truth. I would make this work. How could I do anything else?

His breath blew across my cheek, then our mouths met and held in a long kiss. I tasted salt on his lips and tongue, tasted the ocean and sun and laughter in that kiss. His hands slid under my back, lifted me up and pressed me into him. The sand shifted below us. It trickled past my heels, tickling my ankles. The blanket fell down around us, spreading beneath us and blowing up at the corners with the small gusts of cool wind. The full moon came out, shining down a bright silver light over our sand-covered bodies.

His fingers caressed my hair, ran through it. More sand sifted and slithered, yielding below our bodies as our flesh yielded to each other’s touch. When I sat up and took off my bikini top, he remained lying beside me and stroked his hand down my back, tracing the lines of my tattoo.

He hugged me, then pulled me back down onto the blanket beside him.
