Fuck me.

Every fantasy I’ve ever had of watching her suck on those goddamn lollipops over the years doesn’t compare to this. She’s literally twirling that magic tongue of hers around the tip, sucking, popping and deep throating me like it’s the best flavor, the only flavor, she wants in this moment. I’m about to come with this vision alone, not even factoring in the sensations she’s giving me.

She glances up at me like she’s completely innocent here yet knowing what she’s doing to me. “You done with the teasin’?” Rhea asks.

I can’t even get the words out to form a sentence. I grip her arms and pull her up, her legs and arms wrapping around me. I turn so her back is leaning against the balcony. She’s so wet. I shift my hips so I’m at her opening.

Rhea grips the hair on the back of my head, “Don’t stop, Babe.”

I pant, “Never.” And then I’m pushing my way in.

“Yes, Tan, that’s it, baby,” Rhea moans in my ear.

I’m not going to last long, not when we’re both this worked up. When I look down at her, she’s breathless, her eyes squeezed shut and wanting, she’s wanting so f**king bad. Wanting me so f**king bad and I’m giving her everything she wants and needs at this moment.

She’s tight, and I have no idea how but it makes it that much harder for me not to lose my shit the instant I’m inside her.

I can see the ocean over her shoulder and I know she needs to see this. I pull out only long enough to turn her around so she’s bending over the railing, and then I’m entering her again.

She says nothing audible, but moans the instant I’m inside her again. Rhea arches her back, her hair falling over her shoulders and against my chest, both her hands on the railing. My eyes fall to her hips, along with my hands as I frantically pump in and out of her wet pu**y. She’s still so f**king tight, I’m ready to come already but I have to hold off, my girl’s not there yet but you can bet that sweet ass I’ll get her there, hopefully multiple times, before I’ll allow myself to finish.

I don’t notice at first but Rhea puts one hand between her legs and moans. Nothing is sexier than a woman getting herself off. Damn, she isn’t going to make this easy on me, I can tell.

This sight does nothing for my control and I’m thrusting even harder knowing she’s nearly there when I feel her muscles clench around my dick.

“Jesus, Bee, that’s so f**king hot…” I moan in her ear, sucking and kissing down her neck until my teeth dig into the sensitive skin over her collarbone. That gets us both. I lean forward, trying like hell to last just a few more minutes, or f**k, even seconds when she starts to scream.

"Oh God!”

I’m done. I launch myself into my movements as her body goes slightly limp but curves to mine.

It feels like it’s lasting forever, the pleasure coursing through me. Rhea seems to be the same as she leans back into my heaving chest wrapping her arms around my neck. Her lips are at my ear and I’m still shaking against her, barely able to stand when she says, “The perfect ending to a perfect day.”

Fucking hell, my phone rings again, I reach for my shorts and pull it out. Knox.

“Hello?” I say out of breath.

“She’s not answering her phone, none of them are.” Knox tells me. I can hear the worry in his voice. “Savanna was texting me earlier, telling me what was going on. After about a half hour there was still no sign of the cops and my dad was getting impatient. She said that he was just going to speed past them and hope that whoever was driving didn’t cause a serious accident.”

“Whoa, slow down.” I sit up so my back is leaning against the railing. “When did you last hear from her?”

Knox curses, “Hours ago. When she didn’t answer my text after about an hour I called her, no answer. I called both of my parents. No one answered. Rex is at a graduation party and isn’t answering his phone either. I’m heading home.”

“What?” I shook my head. Rhea leans back and cocks her head. “You can’t just drive home this late, Knox. What if all their phones died or somethin’?”

He laughs sarcastically, “You can’t believe that bullshit.”

“Just,” I took a deep breath. My head still spinning from the off the wall sex with Rhea, “Wait a little while longer.”

“And what if they’re lying in a ditch somewhere?” Knox retorts. “I’m leaving. I’ll come back and get you and Rhea. Have Jeremy or Cade drop you off back at the house in the morning.”

My heart rate picks up; I can’t let him drive alone like this. “Come get us, we’ll leave now.”

“No, just---” I hear the dinging in Knox’s car as he opens the door. “I’ll be back.”

I toss my phone on the ground and pull Rhea in my arms. “What’s goin’ on?” Rhea asks.

“Savanna never showed. No one is answering their phones either.” I say then kiss the side of her head. “There was a drunk driver they were following and cops never showed up to pull him over so his dad was just goin’ to go around him. He’s out of his mind with worry and is goin’ to try to find them.”

“Oh my God,” Rhea whispers.

I hold on to Rhea afraid she’ll disappear even though I know that’s not possible. “Let’s get inside.”

Rhea nods and climbs off my lap and grabs the sheet to shield her naked body but holding one arm out for me to cover myself as well. We both slide into bed, holding each other close and praying that all is well.

Little did we know what had already been put in motion. It was something none of us would ever be able to come back from. My family, once again, was going to be pushed to the brink without any guarantee we’d make it back in one piece.

~ Age 18, hours after the accident ~

Rhea

The sky is splashed orange and pink, so alive and luminous, it’s going to be a beautiful day but in reality it’s an ugly, painful day. My best friend just lost everything in the blink of an eye. The sky should be grey and gloomy, not bright and cheery. I just can’t breathe, haven’t been able to get a breath and the weight on my chest feels like the equivalent of having an elephant sitting there.

Tanner got a call a few hours ago from Rex, sobbing into the phone, telling him that his parents and Savanna passed away. We’re sitting in the airport waiting for our flight to board. An interminable wait only made worse by the fact that everyone around us is going about their lives with what seems not a care in the world. Damn you all, just damn you all to hell.
