She felt so good in my arms. Too good. I didn’t deserve to feel this. I couldn’t sleep. I slipped out of bed and into my den and started up the computer and then buzzed Tommy on video chat.
Tommy’s computer was making noise. I’d been walking by a room that we’d turned into an office for him and saw that it said “D” was calling. I suspected it was Dario but didn’t want to take a chance at answering it, so I walked away and found Tommy up on the rooftop deck, swimming laps in the pool. I sat down on a lounge chair and watched him swim. It was a nice night. He’d been in a good mood today. We had gone for dinner to this little place not far away that was quiet and romantic and then after dinner we’d taken a walk on the beach.
After three more lengths of the pool he swam closer to where I was and then his arms emerged by where my feet were dangling and he captured me by the hips and yanked me into the water.
“Hey,” I said after we emerged from the water. “You got my nightie all wet!”
“I’d like to get something else all wet,” he said against my throat and then my earlobe was in his mouth.
He moved us to more shallow water and I wrapped my legs around his waist while he peeled my nightgown over my head. Then his hands were between us. He got his cock free from his swim trunks and then took me fit us together.
“Mm, perfect fit,” I said against his forehead and then kissed it. I put my hands into his hair and he put me against the side of the pool and started rotating his hips. A moment later he hoisted me up and planted my bottom on the deck and then climbed up and pulled me to a deck chaise where he went down on me, making me cry out. It was a beautiful night and there were so many stars. I loved this rooftop terrace. We got to have sex outside and still, it was totally private. There was no one here but us. No guards around, no danger. Just us.
“I love you more than anything in this world,” I said to him and he moved up my body and then pushed in deep, to the root, inside me.
“Love you more, baby girl.” His lips met mine and he kissed me long and sweet and then thrust into me over and over until he came inside me.
Later, I was getting cleaned up and found him in the spare room typing away on email.
“Dare?” I asked him.
“Zack. Why?”
“Is Dare “D” on your video chat?”
“Yeah, why?”
He was buzzing you earlier. That’s why I came up to the pool.
“Okay.” He kept typing. He was obviously preoccupied.
“Something to drink?” I called on my way back out of the room.
“Yeah, and make it a fucking double,” he said.
“What’s wrong?” I felt panic rise in me.
“Your foster sister Mia has been digging around, looking for you.”
“Oh?” I really should’ve sent a postcard by now.
“She just bought a plane ticket to come here,” Tommy said.
“What?” I was shocked.
“Yeah. She leaves tomorrow.”
“Is it a coincidence?” I felt sick.
“She know anyone here that you know of?”
“Not that I know of.”
“She in the habit of traveling alone?”
“No. I don’t think she’s ever been anywhere, really.”
“Then it isn’t a coincidence. She’s been doing serious digging. And if your 17-18-year-old friend can find us, then we aren’t doing a very fucking good job at hiding. You got anything to tell me?”
“Like what?”
“Like have you told anyone where we are? Have you logged into social media? Have you done anything that might make it easy for Mia to find us?”
I winced.
“Fuck, Tia. What the fuck?”
“I logged into Facebook. I didn’t even post. I was just playing that stupid candy game and I –”
“Fuck!” he roared, “How could you be so fucking stupid?”
My mouth dropped and my chest burned.
He glared at me.
“I was bored and…”
“You were bored? You were fucking bored? So it’s okay because you were bored that you put our lives in danger?”
“You don’t let me go anywhere and I didn’t think it would do anything. I didn’t post anything; I just connected the accounts and…”
“You didn’t think. You didn’t fucking think. Fuck, Tia.”
Tears welled up in my eyes.
“Out. I’ve gotta make some calls.”
“Tommy, I’m sorry.”
“Out. Fucking fuck!” His fist came down on the desk.
I left the room and closed the door behind me.
Shit.
Shit, shit, shit.
When I woke up, Dare was still asleep and spooning me. It felt so good. So right. I hated to leave the safety and bliss of his arms, but I had to go to the bathroom. I quietly got up and did my business and then decided to cook him breakfast. It had been a long while since I’d cooked anything. I made bacon on his fancy stainless steel humongous stove and then put it in the oven’s warming drawer and then was about to get started on the eggs. As I closed the oven drawer, I felt hands on my hips. I smiled and turned around. Dare was bare chested, sleepy, messy-haired, and totally gorgeous. He was in just a pair of denim-shaded blue boxer briefs that were the same shade as his eyes. His hands and eyes were all over me.
