thousands of silver pirate coins and precious treasures.”
She played with the sand, shifting it though her fingers, her childhood memories playing though her mind like a movie. Her mother had been so happy, smiling as she buried plastic coins and diamonds in the sand so when her dad put her down, she could dig and find her own buried treasure. “I’m not sure if the story is true, but the memories mean more to mean than any silver or gold coins.”
“What happened to them Paisley”
“The coins? I have no idea, that was years ago”
He took her hand, still filled with sand and played in the grains held tight in her grasp. “No sweetie, your parents. How did you lose them?”
“Oh, it was a car accident when I was eighteen. It was raining and Dad lost control of the car. They hit a moving truck head on.”
“I am so sorry, Paisley. I don’t know what to say to make the pain better.”
“It was a long time ago and though the pain is there, it’s had time to fade. I don’t think it will ever go away, but remembering about the times we spent here on the beach makes it a little easier to bear. Sometimes, we forget the good times and only remember the bad. We allow the grief to override everything and we dwell on the what ifs. I just hope that someday I find what they had. My father looked at my mother like she was the moon and stars and when she looked at him; it was if life would end without him. It was a love like in your romance book, minus the whips and chains”
She couldn’t help but laugh when he tackled her to the sand, the dune soft under her back, his strong, full lips capturing hers. He stopped her teasing with the press of his lips against hers, and she felt scorched from the searing heat of his kiss. His tongue exploring her mouth was a delicious mix of sweet and salty. The taste of ice cream still lingered, with the hint of the sea. It became a dance of teeth and tongues that had her wanting more. In one touch he had turned her trip down memory lane into a journey of his body. This time he left her hands lose and she took advantage, using them to roam over the hard planes of his back. She started at the crook of his shoulders and followed the trail of his spine until she came to the edge of his shorts. She stroked the skin at the base of his hips, pulling his shirt up to expose more of his skin to her wandering hands as they migrated up his naked flesh.
Jake deepened the kiss as a groan escaped his throat, his hips grinding into her pressing his hard length into her pelvis. The cadence of her heart had tripled its beat and her breasts felt heavy with need to be touched. She didn’t want to stop this time. Even here in the open, she wanted nothing more than to rip the thin layers of fabric between them away and let him fill her. Her body was saying yes, oh God yes, but her mind knew the lack of privacy was wrong. With one last thrust of his hips, he wiped away any red flags her mind threw up. Throwing caution to the wind, she reached her hands around and released the button on his shorts, freeing him from their tight confines. His long length filled her hand, his skin soft against her palm as she closed her fist around him. His sharp intake of breath had him breaking their kiss.
“Paisley, if you keep that up I’m going to lose what’s left of my control and you’ll have sand in places you don’t want it to be” His words said that he was willing to stop until they were in a more private setting, but the slight thrust of his hips, pushing himself deeper into her hold, let her know his body wanted nothing more than to continue their carnal dance.

“Awe Jake, don’t stop, I don’t want to stop.” Giving him permission, his hands pulled her tank out of her shorts and over her head, exposing her lace bra to the night air. The sun had receded beyond view, washing the night in a dark moonless night, hiding them in their pleasure cove from prying eyes Jake scooted down her body,
