My lips move against his in unison. It's as if my lips were made for his and his for mine. He's kissing my lips but my whole body is feeling it. I feel it on my arms, in my stomach, down to my feet. Josh puts his arms around my waist and picks me up. I wrap my legs around his torso as he walks to the bed and sits down. I position myself on his lap and put my arms around his neck. His tongue teases mine as his hands go around my waist.

When we run out of breath, I rest my forehead against his. The room is quiet except for the sound of our hard breathing. I look down at his lips and feel a sense of pride when I see they are swollen. I'm breathless but I want to keep kissing him. Will I ever have enough?

"I can't get enough of you," Josh suddenly says, as if reading my mind, his hands straddling my hips.

I press my lips against his cheek and kiss him in response. Then I kiss his jaw then his chin, down to his Adam's apple. I put my hands on his chest and press my lips against his neck. I part my lips and press my tongue against his skin, tasting him. A soft moan escapes from his throat. It encourages me to do it again and again.

I feel Josh's hand tug my blouse and I look at him. He smirks. "I think it's only fair."

I laugh then raise my hands so he can pull the blouse off. His eyes look at my chest up my neck then my eyes. "Beautiful really doesn't cover it."

I roll my eyes at him. "It's just boobs, Josh."

"I'm not talking about that," he says softly then reaches out and puts his hand on my bare shoulder. "I'm talking about your skin. It's so radiant and soft and-" he reaches out and presses his lips against my neck. I hold my breath when I feel his tongue against my skin. "-delicious." He finishes looking into my eyes.

"Would you mind doing that again?" I whisper.

He grins. "Oh, not at all."

He grabs me by the waist then turns around and lays me on the bed. I lay there and watch as he hovers over me. He kisses my lips before kissing my neck. I love his tongue against my skin. It feels so intimate. So private. It also turns me on in a way nothing else does. He begins to kiss his way down to the middle of my breasts down to my stomach. I clutch the pillows and close my eyes. I arch my back and pull my head back in pleasure.

When I feel his tongue below my belly button, I press my legs together and open my eyes. He stops and looks at me. "Please don't start something we can't finish." I whisper. I hate to do this but I can't forget that my parent's room is across the hall and that his parents are sleeping somewhere above us. Savannah is only a wall away. The inn is too quiet. I'm scared the sound of the waves won't be enough to conceal the noise we might make if we keep going.

He sighs looking defeated but he nods. He kisses the top of my right breast then lays down next to me. We lay there for a moment, trying to turn off the fire within us.

"I'm going to need another cold shower." He jokes turning to look at me.

I bite my lip. "I'm sorry. I just-they could hear us."

He half smiles then reaches out and pulls me to him. "I know."

I glance down at his torso. "Are you really...?" The thought of having the ability to make Josh hard makes me feel pleasure.

"Want to find out?" He grins.

I blush. "We won't be able to stop."

"No." He agrees. "We won't."

I put my hand on his chest. "Were you with someone while you were away?"

"There was just one." He answers honestly. "But I never stopped thinking about you."

"I didn't either." I whisper. "I always felt guilty, you know because I was with Brad, but I couldn't help it. You changed something in me when you kissed me for the first time."

"I don't regret it. I wish I would have done it sooner."

"Me too."

I reach out and press my lips against his then turn around and face the window. Josh tightens his arm around my waist and presses his chest against my back. I feel him kiss the back of my head. He throws his leg over mine and I feel his hardness on my back. It makes me feel even more hot. I press my legs together.

I think Josh feels me tense because his hand moves down my stomach slowly. His touch sends goosebumps all over my body. My breathing gets heavier as his hand goes inside my shorts. And then I feel him touch me. His fingers move against me and I shut my eyes. "Oh." I moan. I bury my face on the pillow in an effort to keep quiet as his fingers move faster and faster until I reach climax. My body relaxes against his and he takes his hand out as if he didn't just give me the best orgasm I've had in months.

"I told you not to start." I choke out.

"I couldn't leave you like that," He says, his lips against my ear.

I turn my head to look at him. "Don't leave."

He smiles. "I'll leave after you fall asleep."

I lay my head back on the pillow and close my eyes which are suddenly heavy. I feel Josh trail his fingers on my thigh up to my waist then to my back. His touch is so soothing I feel myself begin to fall asleep. I try to fight against it because I know he'll be gone when I wake up, but my body shuts down without permission.

________________________________________________________________________

The next morning, I join Savannah, Mom, and Louisa for breakfast. Clint and Dad decided to go fishing and left early in the morning. We all woke up late so it's a late breakfast for us all.

"It's so peaceful out here," Louisa says as we eat.

"I know, right?" I say. "I love it."

"Yet, you won't move here," Mom says narrowing her eyes at me.

I look down at my food. "Mom, I already told you-"

"You love your job, I know."

"I do." I tell her. Among other things...

"Don't worry, Gloria, I'll keep an eye out for her. She's not with Brad anymore, but she's still family."

I smile at Louisa but don't say anything. I'm a grown adult. I don't need looking after but I don't want to be rude especially to Louisa who is practically a second mom to me.

"I wish I loved my job," Savannah says.

She currently manages a five-star restaurant here in Newport. It's not ideal but she gets paid really well, it's the reason she hasn't left. Savannah took a year off after high school before she began college. She's currently in her last year. She's majoring in Business. Very much like me, she doesn't really know what she wants to do but figured she'd get a Bachelors in something. She does like to cook and bake. I think she's going to end up staying in the restaurant business.

"You do like it." I remind her.

"I like the money." She clarifies then frowns. "I hate working with people though. They're so annoying."

"Thank you for that, sweetie," Mom says sarcastically making Louisa laugh.

"What's so funny?" Brad asks walking into the kitchen.

"Savannah hates people." Louisa tells him.

Brad sits down next to me. He shrugs. "I already knew that. Don't blame her."

"Thank you," Savannah says reaching for her coffee.

I roll my eyes at both of them while Louisa serves Brad breakfast. Moments later, Josh walks into the kitchen. I don't look at him, afraid I'm going to blush just by doing that. Images of last night begin to replay in my head. His lips on mine...his soft skin...his hand on me...thinking about it alone turns me on a bit which is very inappropriate considering I'm in a room with my sister, mom, Louisa, and my ex-boyfriend. It doesn't get worse than this.

"I got it." I hear Josh tell Louisa when she tries to serve him breakfast.

My mom shares a look of approval with Louisa as they come back to the dinning table.

"Well this is awkward." Savannah whispers in my ear.

I elbow her while narrowing my eyes at her.

"Good morning," Josh says sitting in front of me.

My body tenses but I still don't look at him. Brad is sitting right next to me. God. What the hell am I doing?

"Good morning, Josh. Looks like you had a good night," Savannah says to him.

I bite my lip to keep myself from smiling. I finally raise my head and look at him. Josh is looking directly at me. He's wearing a red checkered shirt with the sleeves rolled up to his elbows. He looks good in red. He's smiling. I notice for the first time how much younger he looks when he smiles for real. He looks adorable. "As a matter of fact, I had one of the best nights I've had in a really long time."

"That's good to hear, honey," Louisa says placing her hand on his shoulder. "I knew coming down here would be good for you. Where's Crystal?"

"Here," Crystal says walking in. "Sorry I'm late."

Louisa smiles, probably thinking Josh and Crystal were together late last night. I feel jealousy begin to boil inside of me when Crystal sits down next to Josh. She's wearing black leggings with a black crop top, exposing her muscular stomach. I look at her next to Josh and realize how good they look together. They're both fit and attractive. I look down at my food and push my plate away, suddenly not hungry.

"You two had a late night or what?" Brad asks with a grin.

Crystal turns to look at Josh with a smile but doesn't say anything.

"Well everyone is welcome here any day," Mom says. "I love having people around unlike my daughter." She looks at Savannah who smiles sweetly. Everyone laughs.

"Hey," Brad says to me. "Want to go for a walk on the beach?"

"Uh-actually, I'm going to wash dishes." I tell him the first thing that comes to mind. He shakes his head with a smile as I stand up. "Are you done?" I ask him.

"Sure."

I begin to pick up the dirty dishes and Josh stands up. "I'll help you."

I nod with a smile. "Thanks."

Louisa and Mom head outside to sit on the porch while Savannah and Brad and Crystal head to the living room to look for something to watch. As soon as we're alone in the kitchen, Josh kisses me quickly. I laugh quietly as I turn on the faucet. I begin to wash while he dries.

"Never thought washing dishes would be so much fun," he says quietly.

"I know, right?" I smile.

He stands close to me while we wash them, our shoulders brush against each other as we move. Occasionally, he reaches out to touch my hand.

"Are you heading back today?"

I nod. "Yep. Have work early tomorrow."

"I wish I could ride with you."

I look at him. "Me too."

"Hey, Josh?"

We turn to look at Crystal standing behind us. I turn back to the dish I'm washing.

"Want to go for a drink before we leave? Brad says they have some really good margaritas in this bar down the street."

I bite my lip, waiting for Josh's response.

"Uh-it's a bit early to drink, don't you think?" Josh asks with a smile.

"Come on, let's take a walk. I'll drink for both of us." She laughs at her joke.

Josh hesitates and I turn off the faucet because I've run out of dirty dishes. I've never been this sad about running out of dirty dishes to wash. I turn around and both Josh and Crystal look at me. I half smile. "The margaritas are really good." I offer turning to look at Josh. What am I supposed to say? Josh don't go? Or I'm sorry Crystal but Josh and I are currently messing around in secret and I would very much love it if he wasn't alone with you?

There is no valid reason for Josh not to go. He doesn't have a girlfriend. He is free to do whatever he wants.

"Excuse me," I finally say then walk out of the kitchen without another word. I go straight to my room, fuming with jealousy and anger and frustration. I can feel the tears begin to form in my eyes.

After a moment, the door of my room opens and Savannah walks in. She takes one look at my face. "Josh and Crystal just left," she says softly.

I nod. "I'm okay."

She rolls her eyes. "Yeah, whatever." She walks to me and places her hand on my shoulder. "You know, I really don't like people...except you. Besides Mom and Dad, of course."

I smile. "Are you telling me you love me?"

"Yes." She rolls her eyes then sighs. "I'm saying I care about you and this isn't healthy, Nat."

This. Meaning Josh and I. Or maybe our secret. Or maybe both. Either way, I know she's right.

"I hate it when you're all mature." I tell her.

She shrugs but doesn't say anything. I rest my head on her shoulder and think about Josh. Maybe this is a what happens in Newport, stays in Newport kind of fling...I don't want it to be.

I don't know where we're going to end up. All I know is that when Josh touches me, I forget about everything and I'm willing to risk it all to hold on to that feeling of pleasure I get whenever I'm with him.

I hope he is too.
