She rolled her eyes, but finally sat up and followed me into the bathroom. While she started the water I faced the toilet and started peeing.

“Oh. My. God. Chance what are you doing?”

“What does it look like I am doing? You can’t run water and expect me to hold it. Would you rather I pee on your leg once we are in the shower together? Besides, I know you have to go. You didn’t get up all night.”

She rolled her eyes at me.

I leaned down and kissed her on the head before I climbed in the shower. I heard the seat on the toilet being closed and knew she was going to the bathroom, so I stuck my head out. “What are you doing?” I asked sarcastically.

She took the curtain and covered my face. “Quit it Chance. I can’t concentrate with you in here.”

“You are no fun.” I pouted.

I let the water
run
down my head as I leaned against the shower wall. Hope and I had taken our relationship to a new level last night and it scared me. I felt her arms wrapping around me as I stood there. I loved that she was here with me. I wanted today to be perfect. I needed her to know what she meant to
me;
even if it was the only time I would ever be able to do it.

I spoke while she began to wash my back. “I was thinking that after we hang out on the beach for a while, we could have a nice dinner somewhere.”

“I will do whatever you want Chance, as long as you are with me.”

I turned to face her. I took my hands and wiped the water from her face. “I can assure you that I will not be leaving your side for the next twenty four hours.”

She got a big smile on her face. “What happens if the lifeguard is this totally hot chick and she throws herself at you?”

“There is no way in hell I would even notice
her,
when I am laying next to you Hope. Do you have any idea of the effect you have on me? I can promise you that there won’t be one person on that beach that makes me feel the way that you can when you walk into a room, or when I hear you singing, or even when you are throwing paintbrushes
at my head.”

As the water ran down her face, she stared at me speechless. “Hope, I made a decision that today I was going to give you it all. I wasn’t going to hold back. This may be temporary, but I want you to know exactly where I stand, because when we aren’t together, I don’t want you ever questioning it.”

She put her hand up and placed it on my cheek. I grabbed it and kissed the palm. “Turn around and let me finish washing your hair.” I ordered.

“Chance.”

“Yes?”

“Thank you.”

“For washing your hair?” I joked.

“No. For everything else. Just when I think I know you completely, you turn around and surprise me even more.  You are such a special person.”

“Keep that in mind when you are checking out all the dudes on the beach today.” I said as I turned off the water. I leaned out and grabbed a towel so that I could wrap it around her.

I started brushing my teeth and she stood there watching me. “What?”

“I need to go in the house to get dressed.”

“Okay. I will be in there in a few minutes. I want to get my t
runks on and pack a few things.”
I
watched her walk out of the room and heard the door shut as she left.

I was determined to not let her out of my site today, so I grabbed everything and threw it in a
book bag
. Once I located my c
ell phone and wallet I headed toward the main house. On the way
there
I managed to locate Hope

s clothes she had removed last night and I picked them
up
. It didn’t look good to see her clothing on the ground. That could be construed in many ways, and the
worst
part
about that is it was
the truth.

When I got into the house I heard her calling my name so I headed upstairs. I noticed she had finished painting and putting her room back together. “I like the new color. It’s nice.” I mentioned.

“Should I bring a change of clothes for later?” She asked.

“Yeah. Hey do you still have that fake I.D.?”

“Why? I thought you said we were going to be alone?” She inquired.

I shrugged. “I just want to have all of our options open. I would rather be prepared than not. And, for your information, I plan on us being alone a lot today. Don’t get your panties in a bunch.” I said as I sat on her bed.

She came over and put her arms around me. She had changed into a little green sundress. “I’m not wearing any panties.” She whispered in my ear before biting on the lobe.

“We could stay here all day ya know.” I offered.

She grabbed her bag and a pair of sunglasses and started walking out of her room.  “If you want to be the first person I pick to apply my lotion, you better get your ass moving Chance.”

I hurried behind her down the steps and out the front door.

I took one of the
bags, put it under the seat,
and let her keep the other one on her back while we traveled. She offered to take her car, but I loved the feel of driving to the beach on a motorcycle, besides I was dying to being able to have her clung to the back of me for everyone to see.

She didn’t
hesitate
to get on my
bike
this time. This time
she lifted her leg and climbed right on. Instead of just holding on
like normal,
she
reached her hands under my shirt and clung to my bare chest. I had grabbed the other helmet out of the garage and made sure hers was secure before putting mine on.

We set off to make the forty minute drive to the beach. I had a smile on my face the whole time feeling her hands clinging to my bare skin. I knew her dress was blowing up, but today she was all mine and there
wasn’t
anyone going to take her away.

 

 

 

Chapter 17

 

Hope

 

Being on the back of Chance

s
bike
used to make me scared out of my mind, but I knew he wouldn’t do anything to hurt me. It gave me
a
sense of freedom and I was actually enjoying myself. When we got to the
beach
and started driving down the main road, a lot of people were looking our way. Chance had stopped halfway and removed his shirt. I love
d
leaning my head against his bare back as he drove.

We were hearing a lot of whistling as we passed people, but I
wasn’t
sure if it was because Chance had his shirt off, or that my entire thighs were exposed from straddling the bike. My guess was both, but Chance
didn’t
seem to even notice. He found a spot close to the beach and parked his bike.  I noticed it was on the
boardwalk, which
meant we could walk around and get something to eat or drink without having to drive anywhere.

Chance grabbed the bag
from under the seat and we started walking on the beach to find a good spot. I couldn’t get over how hot he looked in his board shorts. They hung perfectly on his hips and made me think about the wonderful package he was hiding beneath them.

I was following him like a little puppy dog when he suddenly turned around. “Are you checking out my ass?”

“Maybe.” I said as I kept walking toward him.

He spun back around and yelled “Carry on!”

I had to smile. Chance always did that. He could find something sarcastic to say even when things were serious. It was just another quirk about him that I admired.

He found us a perfect spot on the beach. It was close enough to the water that we could see everything, but far enough back so we didn’t get our blanket wet.

Chance had one of his naughty grins on his face after we got the blanket spread out and were starting to go through our bags. He reached inside of his and pulled out a bottle of suntan oil. It said that it was s.p.f. ten, which was plenty enough for my dark complexion.  He held it up and smiled like he was advertising it for a commercial, showing off his perfect teeth.

I rolled my eyes and tried to ignore him. He stuck out his lip and gave me a sad face.

I stood up off the blanket and pulled my sun dress over my head, and when I did I saw Chance do a double take.

I didn’t think my bathing suit was bad.
It did happen to be a string bikini, and it also was held together with silver metal rings. One was hooked between the breasts, and another on either of the sides. The bottoms were kind of small and had two rings on either hip, leaving each side open to only bare skin. The suit itself was red and I thought it went great with my skin color. Chance continued to stare.

“What is wrong with you?” I asked.

“What are you wearing Hope?” He asked.

“It is my bathing suit.
I borrowed it from Buffy.

“That does not have enough fabric to constitute as clothing. Holy shit!” He exclaimed.

I shrugged and kneeled down beside him. I grabbed the bottle from his hands and poured it on my chest. When I began to rub it in, he threw a towel over me. “Oh my God Hope. What the Hell are you thinking?” He was freaking out.

“Jesus Chance. I am applying sunscreen to my body. What is your problem?”

He looked around us, and I tried to act like I didn’t know what he was looking for. “They are my problem Hope. I wanted you to myself today, but I can see them mi
ndfucking you and I can’t beat all of their asses.

I started laughing. “Did you just say mindfucking?”

“Yes, and that is also my job.”

“Chance take this.”
I grabbed the bottle
. “Put some in your hands and show them who I came here with, and who I will be leaving with.” I ordered him. “Oh and by the way…” I pulled his face toward mine an
d grabbed his bottom lip
between my teeth. As I pulled away I
li
c
ked
it. My hands were all over his chest and I only stopped when I heard a woman close to us gasp.

I was kind of embarrassed, but Chance pulled me into his chest as we both laughed it off.

He took his time applying the oil to my body, and the more he rubbed the more I wished we were alone. It was making me so hot for him that I could hardly control my breathing.  When he got to my thighs I wanted to scream out in pleasure. He could feel me tensing up and when I looked up at him, he had a huge grin on his face, like he knew what it was doing to me.

After he finished he lay his body beside mine and whispered in my ear. “That was only the front. Just wait until it is time for the back baby.”

I purred. “Oh, I love it when you call me that.”

“Well I love it when you talk like
cat woman
.” He declared.

I rolled my eyes and leaned into his kiss
. “You are so lucky that you’re gorgeous.”

“If you are trying to threaten me with compliments, it is working. I am very scared right now.” He held his fingers up like he was pretending to bite his nails.

Chance
finally
settle down beside me after he applied a generous amount of sunscreen to his face and chest. He kept making me laugh and I loved it. As we lay there, I felt his fingers sliding in between mine and
he
kept his hand in mine until we were ready to flip over.

I couldn’t believe how p
erfect it was being here with him
. I tried not to think about tomorrow, but when something is this great, you just can’t help it.

 

 

Chance

 

Being on
this beach with Hope was amazing. I joked about the other guys checking her out, but it didn’t bother me because I knew she was mine, at least for today.
That bathing suit she was wearing revealed
too
much though. I was half worried that when we got into the water she would lose
it
, then
I got
kind of excited about that as well.

Hope’s smile was back in full force and it was contagious to me. When she smiled I found myself smiling. When she brushed against me, I wanted to do the same. I loved being obnoxious around her, because it drove her crazy.

When she rubbed that oil on her body
,
I imagined actually busting a load on my pants like I was twelve again and seeing my first hot vixen walking across the beach. Except today, Hope was my hot vixen. It was funny, Hope had confidence, but she really had no idea how beautiful she was.

She had her hair clipped up so it bounced around in the air. I know she did it so the breeze didn’t blow it in her face, but
I couldn’t help but remove the clip. She jumped up and
dove over top of me trying to get the clip out of my hands.
