Attached Strings √

Chapter 21

Without notice, she turned my body around and I lay on my back. Slowly and lightly, she grazed her fingers in circles around the outer edges of my nipples. I groaned in satisfaction.

"Sweetheart, you're going to have to stop that if you don't want us to have sex on the beach," I stated and she jumped away from me. I knew she had gotten carried away. "Hey," I caught her by the arm, "where do you think you're going with no sunscreen on?"

"Oh... sunscreen... yeah. I, um, I'll apply it myself." She was blushing furiously.

"Nonsense, give me that." I took the lotion.

She lay on her stomach and I applied it on her back, her neck and her arms. I gently massaged her neck for a few seconds, and whispered in her ear:

“Do you enjoy this?”

She moaned a little and muttered a breathless yes. Then, an idea struck me and I massaged her neck even slower and her moans got louder.

Time to tease her a bit, I thought.

Then, I stopped massaging her and simply walked away.

"Paul!" She called out. It worked. I laughed triumphantly. When she realised that I wasn't coming back, she ran past me and, "First one to the water gets a prize," she said in passing.

A prize, huh?

I followed suit and, I must say, the view was magnificent. The way her gorgeous derrière wiggled as she ran in front of me made me want to get to her quicker and just grab that ass. She didn't say what the prize would be so my plan was to outrun her and then get the privilege to decide what the prize would be. In less than two seconds, I'd passed her and I heard her grunting in annoyance. I reached the water and she got there shortly after me. I gave her a minute to get her breathing back to normal and then I spoke:

"So," I paused, "let's talk about my prize, shall we?"

"I was joking. There's no prize here." She was annoyed. Chloe hated losing and since I enjoyed getting on her nerves, I decided to rub it in. "Chloe, you're in no position to say that because, as you know, you lost."

"Fine," she huffed, "what do you want me to do?"

"Kiss me."

"I beg your pardon." I knew she had heard me and she was only giving me a chance to change what I had said but I wasn't going to do that. I had been longing for a kiss from her but couldn't just take it from her.

"I want you to kiss me." She gave me the look. "What's the big deal? Girlfriends kiss their boyfriends all the time, Chloe."

"I know but I'm only your fake girlfriend and besides, your parents are not here yet so there's no need for us to pretend."

"I know but we have to practice, you know," I explained, "so that when they get here, we won't be having this conversation before we kiss." She eyed me suspiciously but I found that she was thinking of the point I had made and she eventually gave in.

A devilish grin never left her lips.

She walked up to me and wrapped her arms around my neck. She planted her lips on mine and, within no time, the kiss had deepened and I suddenly wished I had wanted more than just a kiss. Her lips left mine and when I was about to protest, she traced the rim of my ear with the tip of her tongue. A low groan escaped my throat. Then, she dipped into the little nook behind my lobe and gently stuck her tongue in my ear. I was more than certain that my shorts had reached the point of being ripped out. That's how hard I was. Just when I couldn't control myself anymore; she walked away.

"Payback's a bitch, honey." She hollered before she dived into the water. I wasted no time in following her and meanwhile, there was only a single thought echoing through my head: Chloe you're so going to pay for this.

And she did pay.

While we were swimming, I pulled a prank on her. See, I have this natural gift - I can hold my breath for an alarmingly long period of time. Using my gift, I disappeared into the water. From under water, I saw her looking around in search for her boyfriend. I knew she was panicking and to top it off, I pulled her legs deep into the water and then I kissed her passionately.

I know the kiss was not part of the plan but I'm a guy. Get over it.

When we were both out of the water, Chloe spoke, "Well that was... breathtaking."

"I know and so am I."

"Paul, I was not talking about you."

"I know but I'm also breathtaking."

"Oh, shut up, will you?"

A moment of silence passed and I decided to ask the obvious. "Are you nervous about meeting my parents?"

"No."

Yes you are, I wanted to say but I settled on, "Oh, alright then."

I noticed that her whole body was shivering and enquired, "Cold?"

"Yeah."

"Come on, let's go." She remained fixed on the ground.

"Well...?" I egged-on.

"I want a piggyback ride." She pouted.

"Wanna ride me, huh?"

"Paul, stop with the innuendos." She blushed crimson. Anyway, I gave her the ride and then we headed home.

I slept soundly, knowing that I'd managed to spend some quality time with her but I still felt empty.

That's because you want her next to you.

And I did.
