Chapter 18

Erin

When Erin awoke on the fourth day of their beach vacation, she was surprised to find Blair not only awake, but also staring at her. As soon as Blair noticed Erin had opened her eyes, she snapped her own shut. Erin giggled because Blair was so unsmooth.

“I know you’re awake,” she whispered. “I saw you watching me, creep.”

“Was not,” Blair said, her eyes still forced shut.

This made Erin laugh even harder. “If you weren’t watching me, then how do you know I was talking to you? I could’ve been talking to Nolan.”

Blair opened her eyes and looked at Nolan who was miraculously still fast asleep between them. “Anyway, what’s the plan for today?”

Erin shrugged. Why was Blair suddenly worried about their plan? She was normally all about going wherever the day took them. “Beach? Pool? I don’t know.” She looked at Nolan. “Do

we

really have a choice?”

Blair laughed. “Good point.”

As if he sensed they were talking about him, Nolan’s eyes popped open at that very moment. “Is it done raining?”

“It is, which means today is going to be a very special day!” Blair said, sounding way too excited. She jumped out of the bed and held her hand out toward Nolan. “Speaking of which, will you come with me, buddy?”

“Secrets?” Nolan asked excitedly as he took Blair’s hand and jumped out of the bed as well.

“What am I? Chopped liver?” Erin asked jokingly. Although, she was extremely curious what the hell Blair was up to.

“Don’t worry about it,” Blair said with a devious smile.

“Yeah, Mommy. Don’t worry about it,” Nolan repeated.

The two of them walked out of the room before Erin could ask any more questions.

It’s fine. Nolan can’t keep a secret to save his life. He’ll tell me as soon as he walks back in.

Erin waited for what seemed like forever, but in reality, was probably just a few minutes. When Blair and Nolan finally came back into the room, Nolan had his hand over his mouth and was giggling.

“What’s so funny?” Erin asked him.

“We have a special day,” he said between giggles.

What the hell does that even mean?

Erin looked from Nolan to Blair. “What’s going on?”

Blair smirked and crossed her arms over her chest. “Don’t worry. You’ll find out soon enough.”

Nolan stared at Blair for a few seconds then copied her stance. “Yeah, Mommy. You find out enough.”

The rest of the morning and into the afternoon was spent with Nolan and Blair whispering to each other while Erin tried to figure out what the hell they were planning. A mission she had failed at so far. After they spent most of the day at the pool and managed to coax Nolan to at least go

onto

the sand, Blair announced it was time to go back to the hotel.

“And why are we going back to the hotel?” Erin asked. She had been waiting hours to find out what was happening. Blair had to finally tell her.

Apparently, she was wrong. Blair’s only response was to shrug and pack up their beach bags. As they walked to the hotel, Erin tried to think of what Blair could possibly have planned, but she kept coming up blank.

As soon as they walked into the hotel lobby, Blair shouted, “There they are!”

Erin looked across the lobby to find Blair’s best friend, Marisol, standing beside a guy, waving to them. That was strange. Erin had enjoyed Marisol when she met her at the Fourth of July party, and Nolan had also taken to her quicker than he usually took to most people, but was this the surprise? Blair invited her friends to hang out with them? Erin didn’t care, of course. She just didn’t understand why it had to be such a big secret.

“Have fun, Mommy!” Nolan said, before skipping away from them right over to Marisol.

“What is he talking about?” Erin whispered to Blair as they walked after him. She still wasn’t following

at all.

Blair smiled proudly. “Marisol and Damien are going to watch Nolan for the next few hours.” She looked over at Erin and became more serious. “Don’t worry. They both worked at a camp for six weeks this summer and are great with kids. You can trust them way more than you probably should’ve trusted me at the beginning of the summer. I also asked Nolan if he was comfortable with spending some time with them.” Blair pointed to where Nolan was already chatting animatedly to their new guests. “As you can see, he is.”

“Okay. But why—” Erin halted to a stop when she realized why Blair had done all of this. It was for

her.

It was because of their conversation yesterday. “Y-you did this for me?”

Blair stopped beside her, put her hands in her pockets, and rocked back and forth on the balls of her feet, looking not quite as sure of herself anymore. “Of course. It sounded like you could use some adult time, and I figured since I’m the closest thing to an adult here, we could spend it together. It’s completely up to you what we do, but we do have dinner reservations at seven. I figured that would get us back in time to grab Nolan from Marisol and Damien to put him down for an only somewhat-delayed bedtime.”

“You really thought all of this through, didn’t you?” Erin felt tears threatening to fall. No one had ever done something this sweet for her. And Blair had put it all together so quickly without missing a single detail.

“Of course. You deserve all the best things in the world. It’s not much, but it’s the least I can do.”

Not much?

Erin wanted to forget all about her worries and kiss Blair right there in the lobby. She wanted to drag Blair back to their hotel room and… well… do a lot more than kissing. Of course, she wasn’t going to do any of that, but god, this woman really might be perfect. “It’s everything, Blair. It’s

everything.

” Her voice cracked when she said the words because she was still on the verge of tears.

Blair started walking again and motioned for Erin to follow and soon they were standing in front of Marisol and the guy who was, apparently, named Damien.

Nolan jumped up and down once they reached them. “Mommy! Guess what? I’m going on rides! So many rides.”

“Ah yes.” Blair reached into her pocket and pulled something out. “Three all-you-can ride wristbands. Go crazy.”

Marisol snatched the wristbands from Blair. “Don’t worry. We’re going to have so much fun.” Marisol looked from Blair to Erin. “And don’t

you

worry either. We are much more responsible than Blair. He’s in good hands.”

Erin didn’t doubt he would be well taken care of, but before she did anything, she needed to make sure Nolan was actually okay with all of this. She knelt down in front of him. “Are you going to be okay without Mommy for a few hours?” she asked.

Nolan nodded an excessive amount of times. “I’m a big boy. I need big boy time without

you

!”

Erin laughed as she stood back up.

That answers that.

“The man has spoken. I’m not needed.”

After saying goodbye to Nolan, Erin found she had a hard time walking away. She was excited about her time with Blair, but she had gotten so used to not having time to herself and she felt guilty for finally taking some.

“You know, we don’t have to do this if you don’t want to,” Blair whispered to her.

“I want to. I really do.” Erin took a deep breath and forced a smile. “I’m sorry. It’s just such a weird concept for me to actually have time to myself. I can’t help but feel guilty.”

Blair pointed to where Nolan was skipping away from them, not bothering to give them a second look as he held both Marisol’s and Damien’s hands. “Don’t worry. I don’t think you have anything to feel guilty about.”

“I think you’re right.” Erin focused her attention on Blair, who was already smiling at her. “So, what’s the plan?”

“Like I said, dinner reservations are at seven, so I figure we should start getting ready around 5 or 5:30.” Blair pulled her phone out of her pocket. “That gives us about two hours to do whatever you want.”

“Whatever

I

want?” That was the problem. Erin had no idea what she wanted. Well, aside from the forbidden fruit standing beside her she absolutely could

not

have, no matter how freaking sweet she was.

“Yep. The sky’s the limit.”

Blair probably expected Erin to have some elaborate idea of what she wanted to do, but the wonderful idea that popped into her head was far from elaborate. “Can we go back to the beach and lay in silence?” Being at the beach without someone throwing sand and yelling at her to build more sandcastles sounded glorious.

Blair laughed. “That works for me. I’ll do my best to keep my mouth shut.”

Erin playfully elbowed Blair in the side. “I guess you can talk a little bit.”

Blair put a hand on her chest. “Wow. Thank you so much. I feel so special.”

Once they were laying out on the beach, Erin realized how tired she was. She tried her best to stifle her yawn, but failed miserably.

“You can take a nap if you want to. I won’t be offended.”

“No, I’m good.” Another yawn. “Seriously. You were nice enough to plan this all out for me. I’m not going to ignore you while I rest.”

“Tonight is all about you. If you need rest, then get some. You deserve it.”

“Thank you.” Erin got herself into a comfortable position on her towel and shut her eyes. She honestly couldn’t remember the last time she felt

this

relaxed. She listened to the sounds of the ocean and enjoyed the laughter of the children that didn’t belong to her. “You know I love Nolan more than anything in the world, but oh my god, this is wonderful.”

“I’m really glad you’re happy,” Blair said softly.

Erin opened her eyes to find Blair watching her with complete awe. It was as though Blair actually saw her as something magnificent. When Blair looked at her that way, it made Erin

believe

that she was special. For the first time in much too long, it felt like she was important to someone other than just Nolan. It felt like floating. “Blair, I…” Erin cut herself off because she had no idea what she was about to say and nothing good could come of whatever was about to come out of her mouth.

Blair nodded as though she understood every word Erin was holding inside. “I know. Just get some rest, okay?”

Erin listened to Blair and drifted off to sleep feeling as though nothing in the world could hurt her. It felt like she had just fallen asleep when there was a tap on her arm. Erin struggled to open her eyes as the bright sun shined down on her. “Did… did I fall asleep?”

Blair laughed. “Yeah. You’ve been out for over an hour. I was just wondering if you wanted to keep resting or if there is anything else you want to do before we start getting ready for dinner.”

Erin definitely didn’t need more rest. She felt amazing right now. But she also didn’t have any sort of idea what to do next. “What if we… go back to the hotel and get ready now, then once we are, we can go for a walk on the boardwalk until it’s time for dinner.”

“I love that idea.”

They gathered up their beach supplies, then headed back to the hotel where they both took showers to wash off the sand. It took all of Erin’s willpower to not touch herself in the shower the way Blair clearly had the day before, because she knew Blair would somehow figure out what she was doing and it would make things very tense at dinner.

“Want me to put on some music?” Blair asked as soon as Erin, wrapped only in a towel, came out of the bathroom.

Much to Erin’s surprise, Blair was still in her own towel as well. Knowing the only thing separating their naked bodies was two thin pieces of fabric made Erin’s heart race.

Calm down. Nothing is going to happen. Control yourself.

“How about you put on that deejay you like? What’s his name again? Scratch and Sniff?” Erin knew that wasn’t actually his name, but she loved to tease Blair about her horrible taste in music. Still, she was willing to listen to it if it would make Blair happy.

Blair rolled her eyes at Erin. “It’s Skratch Sick. And are you sure? His music is a little loud.”

Erin put her hands on her hips to try to act as if she was offended. “You think I can’t handle a little volume to my music? I might be older than you, but I’m not

that

old.”

“Fine. You win. I’ll put on the best music in the world.”

Blair hit a few buttons on her phone before noise that Erin would never in a million years refer to as

the best music in the world

started to scream from the speakers. After a few beats, the song grew on her the slightest bit, so she decided to make the most of it. She danced around the room in her towel, something she had forgotten she used to do all the time before… well, before life got so damn hard. It was fun and freeing to let her body move openly like this, so much so she didn’t even care she probably looked like a complete idiot.

“No, please.” Blair stepped in front of her and grabbed her hands. “Please tell me you’re

not

doing finger guns right now.”

“I’m—” Erin looked down at her fingers that were, indeed, still in the shape of tiny guns. “What? Are finger guns not rizz enough for you?” Erin was sure she wasn’t using that word correctly, but she had heard it on TikTok so many times, she figured she could use it to take the attention off of her terrible dancing.

Blair chuckled. “Please never say that again.”

Erin laughed along with her but stopped abruptly once she realized the position they were in. She and Blair were standing face to face, just inches apart, both in towels, while Blair continued to hold her hands tightly. Erin struggled to catch her breath as her heart beat out of her chest. She had done such a good job controlling herself around Blair, but what the hell was she supposed to do now? She couldn’t even form a coherent thought. Blair was essentially naked and standing right in front of her, looking at her as if she wanted to eat her up. And that was exactly what Erin wanted.

“I can’t ever stop thinking about kissing you,” Erin whispered between deep breaths. It sounded so sultry, she barely recognized her own voice.

Blair moved her gaze to Erin’s lips before looking deeply into her eyes again. She felt like she was crashing through every layer Erin had tried to put between them and staring right into her soul. “Then do it.”

“I can’t. We can’t. It’s—” Erin tried to think of all the reasons why this was a bad idea, but right now, all she could think about was finally having Blair the way she had been dreaming about.

“Just this once. It doesn’t have to mean anything. We’ll get it out of our systems and then maybe we can move on.”

Erin wasn’t sure

moving on

was a possibility when it came to Blair Breckenridge, but she was too far gone to stop where this was clearly going.

Blair moved closer, so her lips were just a breath away from Erin’s. “Tell me to stop and I will.”

Erin shook her head. “I can’t tell you that. I don’t want you to stop. I… I need…”

Instead of finishing her sentence, Erin closed the little bit of distance left between them and finally… finally…

finally

kissed Blair. It was everything she had dreamed of, plus so much more. Blair kissed the same way she did everything else in life, with a passion that made Erin feel like they were the only two people who existed in the entire world. Her kisses were soft and slow, as if she was worried that if she moved too fast, Erin might break.

Erin wasn’t sure who opened their mouth to the other first, but when their tongues met for the first time, her body sprang to life. It was as though she had lost all power, and someone finally flipped the switch to turn her back on. Even though Blair was barely touching her, Erin could feel her everywhere. But she wanted more. She needed more.

When Erin pulled away to tell Blair that, it was too late. Blair already knew. She

always

knew. Blair brought her fingers to the spot where Erin’s towel was tied together. The only thing keeping her covered.

Safe

. But she didn’t want to be safe. Not right now.

“Is… is this okay?” Blair asked as she teased the loose knot.

Erin nodded. There was so much she wanted to say, but she couldn’t get the words out. “Please,” she finally pushed out in a breathless whisper. “I need you. I need

all

of you.”

Blair’s lips tilted into the most perfect smile before she moved her fingers to free the towel from Erin’s body. Erin always figured that when she was finally naked around someone, her immediate reaction would be to cover up, but she didn’t bother to reach for the towel as it drifted toward the ground between them. Because this wasn’t scary. This was Blair. Blair, who had proven time and time again that she would take care of her.

Blair’s eyes ran over Erin’s body so slowly, Erin thought she might lose all function from that stare alone. She felt seen for the first time in… honestly, maybe ever. When their eyes met, Blair swallowed hard, her throat appearing to move in slow motion as Erin watched her every move. Blair pushed a piece of hair behind Erin’s ear as she continued to stare. “I’ve dreamed about your body and even the best dream could never do you justice. You’re perfect.”

Could someone come from words alone? Because Blair’s words made Erin’s body thrum, like she could tip over the precipice at any moment. “You’ve dreamed about me?”

“Every single day since the moment I met you.”

Erin crashed her mouth back into Blair’s. She was too perfect. This moment was too perfect. Erin needed somewhere to put all of her extra energy, and Blair’s lips seemed like the perfect spot for that. Blair’s hands rested on Erin’s hips and Erin’s skin burned underneath them. She wanted those hands all over her. But first, she wanted something else.

As she continued to enjoy the taste of Blair’s tongue, she brought her hand up to remove Blair’s towel. When she felt the towel hit her feet, she forced herself to pull away from the kiss so she could take in the woman standing in front of her. Except Blair was no woman. She was an absolute goddess. Erin was pretty sure Blair didn’t have any flaws.

Blair growled, and in one fluid motion, she lifted Erin off of the ground. Erin wrapped her legs around Blair’s waist while Blair carried her through their hotel room and over to the bed that had gone mostly unused all week. Blair gently laid Erin down on the bed and crawled on top of her. Their bare chests touched as they both took deep, heaving breaths.

Blair watched Erin as though she were seeing her for the first time. “There are so many things I want to do with you, and I plan to get to all of that, but first, I want to worship you.” Blair peppered kisses down Erin’s jaw and across her neck. “Because you deserve to be

worshipped

like the queen you are.”

Erin had never felt like much of a queen until that moment, but as Blair continued her path of kisses, Erin actually believed everything she was saying. When Blair kissed across the tops of Erin’s breasts, she truly thought it couldn’t get any better, but then she ran her tongue across Erin’s nipple before bringing it into her mouth. As her mouth satisfied the one nipple, her fingers worked on the other. Erin clawed at Blair’s back, desperate to touch any part of her.

Blair pulled away and smiled down at Erin. “Not yet. You’ll have your turn. I promise. But first, you need to let me take care of you.” Blair kissed across Erin’s chest again and whispered, “You don’t let people take care of you enough.”

Her kisses moved lower, and she continued to use her hands to tease Erin’s nipples while she kissed down her stomach. When she reached the spot between Erin’s legs, she stopped and looked up. “And you’re sure you’re okay with this, right?”

Her question only served to turn Erin on even more and even though she couldn’t form words, her vigorous nodding must have been good enough for Blair, because, without hesitation, she licked a long trail up Erin’s center.

Holy shit.

Erin was seeing stars already.

Instead of staying in that spot, Blair moved her kisses to Erin’s leg and slowly made her way down it, tracing the spots she kissed with her fingers and leaving a trail of goosebumps behind. When she made it to Erin’s foot, she took it in her hand and massaged it as if she was a professional masseuse. Erin had no idea a foot massage could be foreplay, but fucking hell, it was.

She switched from one foot to the other, then kissed her way back up Erin’s other leg. When she reached the spot where Erin needed her, her tongue stroked her center as before. Blair then took Erin’s legs and placed them over her shoulders, putting her mouth even tighter up against Erin. Her tongue was so busy, Erin was sure Blair would have licked her dry if it was not for the pleasure coursing through her body, causing her to get more and more wet. Blair sucked Erin’s clit into her mouth as if she was sucking water from a bottle in the middle of the desert. It was as if she might actually die if she didn’t drink all of Erin up, and Erin felt the exact same way. She wanted Blair to use her until she had nothing left to give. And Blair must have known, because she did.

Blair replaced her mouth with her fingers and played with Erin’s clit while she moved her tongue closer and closer to Erin’s opening. Erin was just about to beg, but she didn’t need to. As Blair’s fingers worked their magic, she fucked Erin with her tongue. Every push of her tongue sent Erin closer and closer to the edge, and she knew it was only a matter of time before she toppled over it. Her hands moved into Blair’s hair, and she held Blair up against her center.

Erin’s hips started to move on their own, pushing into Blair’s tongue and causing it to go even deeper inside of her. She tried to hold the orgasm off as long as she could, but when Blair curled her tongue perfectly inside of her and hit just the right spot, she was a goner.

Erin’s eyes slammed shut and she was pretty sure she screamed, “Fuck,” but she was having such an out-of-body experience that she honestly had no idea.

She was still seeing stars when Blair pulled away and kissed her way back up Erin’s body. She placed a long hard kiss on Erin’s lips before pulling back to look into her eyes.

Blair studied Erin’s face while she ran a hand through Erin’s hair. “I know you probably feel like you can’t handle more right now, but trust me, you can. If you’re willing, we’re going to come together now. You don’t have to do anything. I’ll do all the work.”

Blair could have asked her to fly to the moon at that moment and Erin would have said yes. “Do it. Fuck me.”

Blair swallowed hard, clearly just as surprised by Erin’s words as Erin was. Then she situated her body so her center was lined up with Erin’s. When their centers touched for the first time, Erin was shocked at how wet Blair was already without Erin even touching her.

“You don’t know what a turn-on it was to finally taste you,” Blair said, as if she could read Erin’s mind.

“Fuuuuuck,” Erin moaned. Blair’s dirty talk was so fucking sexy.

When Blair pushed into Erin, Erin had no doubt she would come again. The mixing of their pleasures was a new level of paradise that Erin had never experienced before. The faster Blair moved, the closer Erin came to the edge. Blair was unquestionably getting closer as well because her movements were becoming more erratic. She was losing control as she rode Erin, and it was the sexiest fucking thing Erin had ever seen. Blair squeezed her eyes shut and bit her bottom lip as she ground into Erin. Erin pushed her hips up and watched as the orgasm hit Blair. Blair’s mouth flew open, and her head shot back as the sexiest moan escaped from the back of her throat. That was all Erin needed to come as well, her orgasm hitting as Blair’s finished.

Before Erin could comprehend what was happening, Blair shoved a finger deep inside of her.

Holy shit. Is she going for round three already?

“Blair… I… I don’t think I can come again so soon.”

“Is it okay if I try?” The look of determination on Blair’s face was so incredibly hot, Erin was immediately rethinking her hesitation.

“Yes. Fuck. Yes.”

Blair didn’t just try. She succeeded. She moved her finger in and out of Erin with such intensity, Erin couldn’t tell which way was up anymore. The world had completely turned on its axis. Then Blair added a second finger and curled them inside of Erin until a warm liquid poured out of her, soaking Blair’s hand. Until that moment, she didn’t even know it was possible for anyone, especially her, to come that hard.

“Fuck,” she said once again.

Blair removed her fingers from Erin and licked them clean, a move that would have had Erin turned on all over again if she could function at all, then laid down beside her. “Yeah?” she asked with a satisfied smile.

“Yes.” Erin put her hand on her chest as she struggled to catch her breath. “Just wait. Once I can breathe again, it’s your turn.”

She just hoped she was capable of achieving half of what Blair did to her.
