Everlasting Sin (8 page)

“Alexis had sex with Todd and he lasted three minutes and now she thinks she might be pregnant,” Eden burst out.

Hudson laughed in response. “Is this a soap opera or something?”

“No, you know Alexis,” Eden rambled on. “My friend with the white-blond hair and the big boobs.”

“Uh, okay.” He shrugged and looked at me with a small smile. “What are you guys up to tonight?”

“I’m going out with that cute guy from Boston.” Eden jumped up. “I better go and get ready.”

“What about Riley?” Hudson frowned as he watched his sister run to the bathroom.

“Riley doesn’t mind, do you?” She looked at me and I shook my head.

“It’s cool. I’ll just watch TV.”

“Why don’t we go somewhere?” Hudson looked at me casually.

“I thought you and Clara were going to go to a bar.”

“No.” He shook his head. “No, we’re not.”

“Oh.”

“I shouldn’t be telling you this, but I think Clara and I are pretty much done.” He sighed. “It was a mistake to date her.”

“Why?” I asked him with wide eyes and excitement in my heart.

“I don’t think we are compatible.” He shrugged. “But let’s not talk about it.” He gave me a smile. “Want to do something tonight?”

“Okay.” I nodded and then thought back to my conversation with Eden. There were some parts that I hadn’t told her. Like that I wanted Hudson to be my first. “What do you want to do?”

“I don’t know. What do you think?”

“Maybe we can go swimming.”

“Swimming?” He looked surprised. “At night?”

“Well, you know. We only went that once and it was a bit of a mess.”

“You can say that again.” He laughed. “Okay then. Let me go and get my trunks.”

“Or maybe we can skinny dip this time,” I spoke slowly, not believing what I was saying.

His eyes blazed into mine in shock. “Are you sure?”

I nodded. A look of understanding passed between us.

“I’m sure.” I reached over and softly touched his chest. He stilled and grabbed my hand.

“What are you doing?”

“Just checking out your tattoos,” I lied, but I wasn’t about to tell him that I just wanted to touch him because I couldn’t resist anymore.

“Do you like them now?”

“They’re just okay.” I half-smiled at him.

“You’re just okay.” He ruffled my hair, and I stuck my tongue out at him.

“Ass.”

“I never want to be an ass to you, Riley.” He pulled me into his arms and looked down at me for a few seconds. “I hope you know that.”

“I do.”

“Are you sure you want to go skinny dipping?”

“Yes.” I nodded and leaned up, kissing him lightly.

“I taught you well.” He laughed, leaning down and kissing me harder. I felt the tip of his tongue on my lips, and I opened my mouth slightly before we both jumped apart.

“You guys decided what you want to do?” Eden walked back into the room, spraying herself with perfume.

“Not yet.” I shrugged, trying not to blush too much. “We’re still deciding.”

“Okay, well, have fun.” She hugged me. “I can’t believe we’re leaving tomorrow.”

“Me either.” I hugged her back hard.

A part of me felt like my life was about to change tonight. Tomorrow seemed so far away. Part of me didn’t care if tomorrow never came, just as long as I had tonight.

“Okies, I’m out. See you fools later.”

“Eden, sometimes I wonder about you.” Hudson laughed and gave her a quick hug. “Be safe and call if you need anything.”

“Yes, brother of mine.” She rolled her eyes and ran to the door. “Don’t worry. I’m not about to lose my V-card tonight.” She laughed again at her brother’s expression and ran out the front door. “Be safe, bitches. See you soon.”

“I don’t know where she got that mouth from.” Hudson grinned at me.

“Haha. You know Eden. She’s always got the slang down.”

“I wish she’d get her grades up.” He sighed. “So what about you? What are your college plans?”

“I’m thinking I’ll go to State and study journalism.”

“I’ll have to show you around when you come visit.” He smiled. “I thought you were going to go to Duke or something?”

“I was thinking about Vanderbilt and Duke but decided State is fine.” I looked down. “It’s cheaper.”
And I’ll be closer to you,
I thought to myself.

“Makes sense.” He nodded and grabbed my hand. “Let’s get out of here.”

We ran out of the house and to his car before stopping. “Want to just walk to the beach?” Hudson looked at me. “Or would you prefer to take the car?”

“Let’s walk.” I nodded, suddenly excited. “But maybe we should get a towel or something.”

“Hold on.” He grinned at me and ran back inside. About five minutes later, he came back outside with a bag and a cocky grin. “Let’s go.”

The walk to the beach seemed to flash by in a blur. All I could think was,
He’s holding my hand. Hudson Blake is holding my hand.
It felt surreal. And I still felt a bit bad. Even though he had said he was about to dump Clara, he hadn’t yet. What I was doing was still wrong. I felt bad about it, but I wasn’t really thinking about it. I was too caught up in the moment. I’d never felt this excited and exhilarated before. I was with Hudson and we were about to do something bad—really bad—yet I felt so good.

“Are you ready?”

We stood at the edge of the water and stared up at the moon. There was a cool chill in the air, but I didn’t feel cold. In fact, I felt as if my body were burning up. I looked over at Hudson and gasped as he pulled off his shirt and pants in front of me.

“I don’t know,” I whispered, suddenly shy. “I, uh, need a minute.”

“Sure.” He smiled at me, and I watched as he pulled his boxers down as if he didn’t have a care in the world. I stared at his manhood and froze. I couldn’t believe it. I was seeing him naked. “See ya.” He grinned at me and ran into the ocean. I watched as he swam a few strokes and then jumped back up. “You coming in?”

“Yes.” I called out and stared at him in the ocean. He was waiting for me, and I felt as if I were in some indie movie and this was some poetic scene.

I took my clothes off slowly, feeling shy but excited. I was so excited that my fingers were trembling in anticipation. I couldn’t believe that this was happening. The air felt weird against my naked skin. I stood there in my bra and panties and took a step towards the water. I saw Hudson staring at me. I couldn’t see the expression in his eyes, but I knew he was anticipating this moment as much as I was. The moonlight shone down on him, and for some reason, he reminded me of a werewolf.

“What’s so funny?” he called out to me as I started laughing.

“Nothing.” I shook my head, quickly unclasped my bra, and then ran into the ocean. I was too scared to take my panties off. It felt like the moment would be too real if I went completely naked. It was like I was giving myself to him on a silver platter. I didn’t want to be easy.

I dove into the water and stayed underwater as I swam. I wanted my body to become accustomed to the cold water. I came up for air and stared at the sky for a few moments before looking for Hudson.

“Over here,” he called out and waved his hands. He was only a few feet away, and I swam over to him slowly. “Hey.” He smiled at me as I reached him.

“Hey.” I smiled back at him, treading water carefully. I made sure that only my head was above water. I was too shy to let him see my naked breasts.

“It feels nice, doesn’t it?”

I nodded. “Yeah, the water is refreshing.”

“Yeah, it is.” He reached over and touched my face for a second. “Sorry, I was wiping away some water. You had some on your face.”

“I’m in the ocean,” I replied stupidly and we both laughed.

“So how does it feel?” He floated on his back.

“It’s different.” I decided to be brave and float on my back as well. I felt my breasts bobbing at the top of the water. It felt weird and different, but also kind of nice. I felt like I was one with nature.

“The stars are really bright tonight.” He continued with his small talk and I realized that he was nervous as well.

“I wonder if we’ll see a shooting star.”

“What would you wish for if you saw one?” he asked as we both stared up into the night sky.

“Nothing,” I answered softly. “I wouldn’t wish for anything. What about you?”

“Nothing either,” he said. “This moment is pretty much perfect. I don’t think I could wish for anything more perfect than this.”

“Me either,” I whispered back. I felt as if my heart were going to burst out of my chest. And then I felt his hands around my waist as he pulled me to him. I wasn’t afraid or scared as I felt my breasts crush across his chest.

“Hey.” He smiled down at me. There was a look of intensity in his eyes as he searched mine.

“Hey again.” I felt his hands gripping my back, and instinctively I wrapped my legs around his waist.

“You’re wearing panties.” He laughed and I looked up at him curiously.

“How did you know?”

“Because if you weren’t, we’d be making love right now.” He winked at me and pushed my butt forward. I gasped as I felt something hard between my legs.

“Oh.” I blushed, glad that the night sky was hiding my embarrassment and lust.

“Maybe you shouldn’t keep your legs like that,” he groaned into my ear and I looked at him again.

“Why?”

“Because your panties might not remain on for long.”

“Oh.” I laughed nervously, wishing that I’d taken them off before I’d gone into the ocean.

“How many boys have you been with, Riley?”

“None.” I bit my lower lip as I waited to see how he was going to react. “Hopefully that will change tonight.”

“Are you sure you want me to be the one?” He struggled with the words, and I nodded my response. “We don’t have to do this.”

“I want you to be the one.” I looked into his eyes. “I like you.”

He grinned at me. “I like you too.”

“You were my first kiss and I want you to be my first, you know...lover.”

“I don’t want to do this if you aren’t ready.”

“I want it to be special,” I whispered. A part of me was screaming at me that this wasn’t special. It wasn’t special or right—not when he had a girlfriend—but I ignored the voice.

“I want to be your first,” he groaned. “Maybe I shouldn’t admit that. Right? I don’t know. You’re all I think about, Riley. You’re so special to me. I wish that—”

“Sshh.” I leaned forward and kissed him. The water was starting to feel colder, so I pressed into him harder.

He leaned back and looked into my eyes. “I think I might love you, Riley.”

“I think I might love you too, Hudson.” I laughed, happy but still feeling like what I was doing was wrong.

“I want our first time to be special.”

“This is special.” I pushed away from him and pulled my panties off. I held them in my hands and he watched as I threw them into the ocean. “This is what I want.”

“Oh, Riley.” His fingers reached out and caressed my breasts.

I sighed as his fingers played with my nipples. It felt nice, and a warm feeling spread throughout my body. I’d never felt like this before, and I wasn’t accustomed to this strange but welcome feeling.

I reached out and touched his chest. It felt cold and hard and wonderful. I ran my fingers over his nipples, and he gasped as I pinched them. I looked up at him in amazement and he laughed.

“What’s so funny?” I mumbled and leaned forward to kiss his chest.

“Nothing.” He cupped my breasts and then I felt his hands moving to my butt. “You’re just wonderful.” His fingers ran over my ass and squeezed gently. “I want to kiss your breasts,” he whispered in my ear, and I swallowed hard.

“Oh yeah?”

“Let’s go to the shore.” He grabbed my hand and we swam together as one until it became too difficult, and then swam separately.

Hudson made it to the sand before I did, and he pulled me out of the water as I caught up with him. He picked me up and carried me to our clothes and his bag. He set me down gently, pulled out a towel, and wrapped it around me, drying my body.

“What are you doing?” I stood still as he rubbed me down.

“I don’t want you catching a cold because you’re cold and wet,” he answered seriously, and he paused before he started rubbing between my legs. We both froze as he dried my thighs and then my breasts.

“My turn now.” I gave him a small smile. “Do you have another towel?”

“I want you to use this one,” he said to me slowly and pulled it off my body.

I took it into my hands and tried to stop myself from feeling self-conscious as I stood there naked. I held the towel gingerly and started rubbing his chest down. The water drops clung to his chest hair, and I watched them carefully as if my job of drying him were the most important job in the world. And then I moved the towel farther down his body and paused. I heard Hudson’s sharp intake of breath as my fingers slowly touched his hardness.

I stared at him in amazement. This was the first time I’d seen a naked man’s body and held a man’s penis in my hands. It felt strange and weird and wonderful. I wasn’t sure if he expected me to drop to my knees and take him into my mouth, but I knew I couldn’t just do that, even though I was really curious to find out what it tasted like. I wanted to spend the whole night exploring and getting to know his beautiful body.

“You’re gorgeous.” His voice sounded raspy as he looked at me.

“You’re just saying that.”

“No. No I’m not.” He shook his head and pulled my hand away from his hardness. Reaching down to the bag, he pulled out a blanket. He shook it out and we arranged it so that it was flat on the sand. “Come.” He grabbed my hand and pulled me down onto the blanket with him.

We stared at each other for a few moments before he leaned forward and took one of my nipples in his mouth. My body trembled as his hot breath heated my cold body to its core. It felt strange to feel his teeth on my nipple. He sucked on one breast gently while his fingers played with the other one, and I groaned as I felt an odd wetness filling up between my legs. It felt so erotic and naughty and like nothing I’d ever felt before. Hudson looked up at me with dark eyes before switching his mouth to the other breast. I screamed slightly as his sank his teeth harder down on my other nipple.
