The Inheritance (Happy Endings Resort Book 1) (10 page)

Drew stepped out of his shoes as his shorts hit the floor. His hands moved to the hem of my t-shirt. Breathlessly, we pulled away from our kiss to help each other off with our shirts. As soon as the barrier of our shirts was removed, we were instantly pressed back together again.

“Do we really need the shower?” He ran his hand up my side from my hip to cup my chin.

“You don’t have to join me, but I’m showering.” I pecked his lips and turned to the shower stall with a swing of my naked ass. I knew he was going to follow when I heard him growl.

“Like I could walk away from such an invitation.”

“I was hoping you would stay,” I said closing the door behind him. He wrapped his arms around my waist, picked me up and pinned my back to the wall.

“I’ve been thinking about taking you in this shower since the second I saw the plans for it.”

“Why did we wait so long?”

“No idea,” he laughed. “But the wait is over.” He moved to kiss me again. “Damn it,” he leaned his forehead to mine. “I left the condoms out . . .” He cocked his eyebrow at me.

“Condoms as in plural?”

“Well, I just . . . you know . . . I . . .”

“We’re okay. You of all people should know I am on the
pill . . . have been for years.”

“I didn’t want to assume.”

“Drew? Stop talking.” I kissed him and adjusted my positon so that his erection was now hitting just the spot in needed it to.

“Are we going for a quickie here?” He rubbed against my opening.

“Not at all. I just like the way it felt.” I smiled.

“I can make it feel even better.” He pressed just a little more and I groaned. “More?”

“Yes, please.” He pressed me hard against the wall so I was secure on his hips with my feet crossed above his ass. “You are one very beautiful woman, Rory London.” He cupped my breasts in in his hands and molded them with his palms. When he pinched the hardened peaks, I arched my back.

“Pinch them harder.” My body quivered at the sensation of pleasure and pain from his fingers tightening on my nipples.

“I bet I could have you coming just by pinching your nipples.”

“Yes, yes you could.” I quivered uncontrollably as he rolled my nipples in between his fingers, then pinched them again.

“But in want to be inside you when you come,” he said into my ear as he ran his tongue down my neck.

“Then you had better stop doing what you’re doing.” I slid my hand down between our bodies and moved is hardened length into my hand. “How do you like this?” I tightened my grip around his cock, his legs waivered slightly, but he recovered quickly meeting my gaze.

“Your hand looks amazing wrapped around my cock,” he gritted out as I began to stroke him. His hips started moving with my hand. “But if you keep that up I’m going to cum in your hand instead of where I want to.” Suddenly his finger was inside of me and my eyes rolled back into my head when his thumb brushed over my clit. “You are so wet. Tell me that you want me inside of you.”

“I do. I want you inside of me. I want you to make me cum. I want you to take me in this shower, then I want you to take me in my bed.”

“Rory, I’ve wanted you for so long, I might be taking you in every fucking room of this house and even outside. I don’t think I could ever get enough of you.”

“You have me.” I threw my head back when he slid inside of me and I swear I had never felt more loved in my entire life than I had at that moment. “Thank you for finding me and bringing me here.”

“You are where you belong.”

“Home.”

Anywhere With You

Book Two

Since the day I packed everything I owned into the back of a Volkswagen van—yes the cliché hippy van. I saw it once in a photo on Pinterest and fell in love with it. I knew it was the vehicle I needed for my road trip out of Lincoln, Nebraska. I searched Craigslist for months as I worked at the local grocery store in my hometown saving up money to buy the van. Finally after saving up enough to buy the van and have enough for my road trip, I set out on my journey to California and never looked back.

One year later after I walked the stage of my high school and received my diploma I finally found the van of my dreams sure it needed some fixing up but in my eyes it was the stepping stone to my freedom. From the age of seven I lived in foster care. I never knew my dad and my mother never put his name on my birth certificate so when she passed from a drug overdose I had nowhere to go. My grandmother was in a nursing home with Alzheimer's and my mother had no other immediate family to take me in.

I always hoped I’d finally find my forever family but sadly that never happened. When I turned fifteen I gave up on the idea and instead started working to save up for the day I turned eighteen and would finally be able to set out into the world on my free from social workers, and bratty kids who constantly invaded my privacy and stole my belongings.

Now at the age of twenty I’m living my dream. It isn’t glamorous but it’s perfect for me. I’m on my own. I have a roof over my head. I have the best friend a girl could ask for which is my little mini dachshund I rescued last year from the local shelter. Her name is Blue and she is the only family I have or need. I live in Newport Beach, California in a small apartment above a diner I work for. It’s not much but the way I look at it I’m walking distance to the beach and it’s better than living in my van.

I live and breathe surfing. I took lessons when I first moved here from a guy I met at the beach one day. We ended up dating for a year but he moved to Los Angeles to pursue acting so now I’m currently single.

Right now the sun is shining and more than likely there’s some killer waves down at the beach but instead of taking advantage of this beautiful summer afternoon, I’m at work taking orders and pouring cup of coffee after cup of coffee. I have an hour left for my shift and then I’ll finally be able to get out of here and join a few of my friends for a few hours of fun in the sun followed by dinner at our favorite sea side restaurant that serves the best in freshly caught seafood.

Until then I’ll have to be satisfied with getting to enjoy the warm rays as I go outside to the outdoor seating and take orders.

With my notepad in my apron I walk out of the air conditioned diner and into the warmth and sunshine. The outdoor seating is made up of a bunch of picnic tables with large umbrellas in the middle for shade. It’s the seating of choice when it isn’t too hot outside during our lunch and dinner hour. Right now it’s packed with people at every table. Most are our regulars with a few being more than likely tourists.

As I make my way around with a coffee pot in my hand, I give a few tables refills before approaching a table that is empty all but one person. He’s dressed in dark jeans, a concert t-shirt and a black Hurley ball cap. Must be he’s one of those dark emo people. Me I’m the total opposite. Everyone who knows me says my name suits me perfectly because I’m warm, colorful and like a ray of sunshine. I’m probably the happiest person you’ll ever meet. Even with everything I’ve been through I don’t find it reason enough to let it get me down.

The way I look at it there’s always tomorrow. Today may suck. But you always have tomorrow to look forward to. Make tomorrow better than today and things will always be looking up.

“Hi, I’m Summer and I’ll be your waitress today. Can I start you off with a cup of our favorite house blend coffee?” I ask Mr. Dark and Brooding, sweetly, flashing him a mega-watt smile.

He glances up at me over his menu at first looking disinterested and dropping his eyes back down the list of food item, but then quickly snapping them back up to mine. I feel my heart flutter in my chest and butterflies flutter frantically in the pit of my stomach as a small, stunning smile spreads across his lips.

Now that I can see his face which he was hiding a moment ago beneath his hat, I have to say he is the most gorgeous man I’ve ever seen. For a moment I try to place his face because it seems familiar for some reason but I can’t place from where.

“Why, hello Summer. I’m Killian, and I’d love a cup of coffee.”

Pouring his cup I try to steady my shaking hand. I feel his eyes on me only making me that much more nervous. I meet hot surfer type guys all the time here. Normally they’re the type I go for, but there’s just something about this Killian guy that makes my heart skip a beat with just the slightest smile.

“Here you go, Killian. Cream and sugar are on the table. Do you know what you want or would you like some more time?”

Leaning back he give me a cocky smirk as he sets the menu down on the table. “I’ll have a bacon burger with fries—and possibly a date with the most beautiful girl in all of Newport Beach?”

I choke out a cough in between laughing. Wow. He is bold. Nothing like putting a girl on the spot.

I glance around nervously trying to look anywhere but at him because my cheeks are burning from blushing so hard. Crossing my arms I smile down at him, “Burger and fries coming right up...and my shift ends in an hour.” With that I spin on my heels and walk quickly back inside to hand in his order and try to catch my breath as I wrap my head around what just happened out there.
