“SHOTS!” Max called again. “Shallow end of the pool! Make a line!”

“They’re making a line.” She released her hand briefly, and then she was back on me again, guiding me to her core, to the side of her suit.

I shuddered at first contact.

“You gotta be fast.”

“We’re drunk. Buzzed, at least,” I said as I moved against her. “People can see.” Even as I came up with every reason we shouldn’t, I already was.

“Live dangerously, Jason.”

It was what I’d always said to her when I was daring her to do something, something which almost always ended up with us in detention. Warm water seemed to boil between our bodies as I pulled her farther into the deep end, toward the alcove of rocks where we’d often made out when my parents were home, and we didn’t want to get caught. They’d shielded us just enough to keep us out of view.

I clung to her hand then pressed another kiss to her open mouth when the shadow of the rocks fell over us. This… I need this, want this. Her wet skin was so slick. I wanted to feel her around me, let the memory burn, let the pleasure bring more pain.

“Shit,” I murmured when I realized my mistake. “We don’t have a—”

“On the pill.” She winked.

“Thank God.” I surged forward, the water waving out from between us, and then I was pulled into her, sinking deep. And she let me. Her sharp gasp had me rock hard and needing more, wanting to create a freaking tsunami with each thrust.

Maddy wasn’t just home to me.

This feeling, this thing between us…

It had been my forever.

Our eternity.

I knew I wouldn’t last long.

Not with her.

Not like this.

Uninhibited, with the woman I’d never let go of, the one who was moaning in my arms and trying to bite down on my neck with each slow thrust.

We were already creating enough waves as it was, and I knew it was only a matter of time before someone asked where we were, or noticed the fact that there was unexplained violent splashing coming from the alcove.

“Harder.” She bit my neck again. “Faster.”

“Maddy—” I was losing control so fast it was embarrassing, “—any harder or faster, and they’ll think a hurricane’s coming. Besides, I want to last forever.”

“Maybe later you can…”

It was all I needed as I surged forward, pinning her once again, filling her to the hilt as she let out a gasp and orgasmed around me with tiny bursts of release. And with each one, my grip on her hips tightened as my body violently vowed never to let her go.

I would say that it was easy.

But everything about me was still hard as I pumped two more times before falling silent in the deep end of my parents’ pool, slightly drunk, surrounded by a party full of people I didn’t remember.

Not one of my finer moments.

Not that I really cared.

Her eyes were glazed as she stared me down, as if all she needed was one more round — one more round I was more than willing to give.

“Jason! Maddy! Where are you?” Max yelled. “Your turn.”

Maddy shot me a shy grin. “We already went.”

I choked a bit before I slapped her ass, replaced her bikini that had been thrust to the side, and swam from under the alcove. I motioned for Max. “One more shot. Only one more.”

“Sure, cop, sure…” Max said.

It was the last thing I remembered.

A likely story where Max was involved…
