Chapter 18
I wake up the next day to find the cabin empty. I glance at the clock and groan. It’s 11am, so everyone will already be hanging out at the lake.
Emilia and I got back in late last night. Neither one of us wanted the night to end. All I was planning on doing last night was apologizing and creating a memory with her that we’d always share. I guess I wanted to be her first date, as she was mine. I’m not sure when my feelings for Emilia even started to change.
I smile to myself and walk into the bathroom. I’m so giddy with excitement and I’m so eager to see her again. I get ready in record time and race towards the part of the lake with the embankment, the bit we always use as a beach.
Looks like they’ve already set out beach recliners and I’m relieved to find a spare one for me set up. I didn’t think to bring one. I look at the set-up and grin to myself. The spare seat is right at the edge, next to Emilia.
“Morning,” I shout, a wide smile on my face.
My mother looks at me suspiciously. “So, you are alive. I wasn’t sure when you refused to get up this morning.”
I cup the back of my neck and grin at her.
“What were you doing last night? Were you playing video games again?” she asks.
I nod and walk towards my beach chair. Emilia tenses when I approach, and I try my best to keep my eyes off her body. Fucking hell, though. She looks hot in that minuscule white bikini of hers. Last night I got to feel her curves, but I didn’t get to see them. When we got out of the water, she forced me to turn my back to her, so I was left to imagine what her curves might look like. The bits of her body that her bikini doesn’t cover are magnificent. I’m sure she wasn’t that busty a year ago.
Her eyes drop to my crotch and I look down with wide eyes. How the hell did I not realize that I’ve got a boner? I plop down on the beach recliner face first and end up crushing my dick painfully. I groan and Emilia chuckles, her cheeks flushed. She keeps peeking at me while pretending to read her book. After a couple of minutes, she gives up on trying to be subtle and outright ogles me. I glance at my parents, but they’re absorbed in each other, and Kate is napping. I reach into my swim shorts and adjust my erection to hide it better. Emilia’s eyes follow my every movement.
“Wanna go for a swim?” I ask. “Race you there.”
Emilia chuckles and throws her book onto her chair. I take off running and she’s not far behind me. When I’m certain that we’re out of view, I stop and turn around. Emilia almost crashes into me. She’s smiling and panting when I grab her by her waist and pull her closer, my lips finding hers. She kisses me back and I lift her into my arms. Her legs wrap around my waist and I walk us towards the trees and towards my secret place.
“Where are we going?” she asks, before she sucks down on my lower lip. She drives me insane.
“You’ll see.”
I carry her into the small clearing and place her down on the grass gently before joining her. She giggles and pulls me on top of her. She’s eager to have her lips back on mine, and I’m relieved that she wants this as much as I do. She was clumsy yesterday, but the way she’s kissing me today drives me wild. I roll my hips against hers, and despite the amount of clothes between us, I’m already close to coming.
Emilia parts her legs to get me closer and I move my lips towards her neck. She groans when my erection isn’t right where she wants it anymore, and I chuckle against her skin. I kiss her neck softly and then nip at her collarbone, hesitating before moving lower. Emilia pushes her chest out in a silent bid for more. I look up to find her watching me with lust filled eyes. I smile and place my lips against the top of her breast, trailing a path down slowly. She squirms underneath me, her breathing uneven.Text © owned by NôvelDrama.Org.
When my I graze her nipple over the fabric, she moans softly. I look up at her again and gently tug on her bikini top. I place my lips against her skin and she arches her back to push more into my mouth. I smile and suck down on her nipple. She moans and throws her leg around mine. She’s sensitive. I’ve read that some women are and some aren’t, but it looks like my Minx is very sensitive. I tug on the string that keeps her bikini top together and it falls open, revealing her breasts. I inhale sharply and Emilia moves to cover herself.
“You’re gorgeous, baby. So beautiful,” I whisper. I kiss her hands until she finally moves them away and reveals what she’s hiding underneath. I move back up and kiss her while my thumb teases her breast. She grinds against me and I push my forehead against hers.
“I can’t hold it when you do that, baby. You’re driving me crazy, Emilia.”
I lower my lips to hers and kiss her. She lifts her hips up to get the angle just right and I give her what she wants. She moves her hips against me quicker and quicker until her body twitches and her head falls back. She moans and I smother the sounds she’s making with my lips, my own release not far away.
I collapse on top of her and bury my face in her neck, both of us panting. “That was amazing,” I whisper. Emilia turns her head and I pull back just a little to look at her.
“You weren’t lying?” she asks. I frown, unsure of what she’s talking about.“You said you’ve never slept with anyone,” she murmurs. She looks petulant and cute as hell. I grin and peck her lips.
“Hmm, I didn’t lie, Minx. I’m a virgin,” I tell her awkwardly. Emilia blushes and nods at me.
“I’m glad,” she whispers.
We both freeze when we hear Kate’s voice nearby.
“Milly,” she shouts. “Carter, where are youuu?”
Emilia pushes me away and ties the strings of her bikini top in record time. She looks at me, panicked.
“Oh god. Kate. Oh, my god, what were we even thinking? Shit. We can’t do this,” she says, her voice trembling. I look at her with wide eyes, my heart dropping.
“No, it’s fine. It’s okay.” I say. I know Kate warned me away from Emilia, but when it comes down to it, she’ll eventually get over it. So long as Emilia wants me, there’s nothing and no one that I’ll allow to stand in our way. Kate loves Emilia to bits. There’s no way that she won’t want us to be happy together.
Emilia shakes her head and pushes me away. “Shit. What’s wrong with us? This can’t happen again, Carter. Kate is my best friend — I cannot mess around with her brother. That’s so against the girl code. She’d never forgive me! I love your mother so much and they’d both be horrified if they found out. They’d feel like I betrayed their trust.”
She starts to panic and even though my heart is shattering, I grab her shoulders and try my best to ground her. “Hey, breathe, baby. It’s alright. We don’t need to tell them if you don’t want them to know.”
Emilia shakes her head. “No. Let’s just pretend nothing ever happened. It was just some making out, anyway. It’s not like we actually dated or anything. Please, Carter.”
I stare at her in disbelief and then look away, unable to face her. The last twenty-four hours have meant the world to me. I thought we were on the same page. Was this just a fling to her? Was she just trying to figure out what she’s been missing out on?
“I understand,” I murmur, smiling tightly. I don’t understand, but for Emilia I’ll pretend.
