ROMAN
Our hotel room has a veranda with the ocean right in its backyard, and that's where Nikki and I have dinner.
I'm over the fucking moon right now. For months, I've obsessed about this, now I finally have her and we're thriving unlike ever before.
Nikki is my endgame. There's no doubt about it in my mind.
I want to spend the rest of my life with this woman.
I can't take my eyes off her. She's watching the waves distractedly and she just seems so...relaxed. Happy. It's a sharp contrast to the mess we were in a few days ago.
But I know for a fact that I'm not relaxed. Not entirely. I've got a lot to redeem myself for. I haven't given her the security she needs, and the truth is that it's a miracle she's here to begin with.
I won't miss another chance to set things right.
I'm not going to lose her again.
Nikki turns her head to look at me just then, and a small smile lights up her face. Her eyes are gleaming like diamonds in her perfect face. "What is it?"
"I just think you're the most beautiful woman in the world."
Humor lights up her eyes further. "You flatter me."
"I'm being as honest as I can," I claim, raising my hands.
Nikki looks back at the ocean, and this look enters her eyes. I can tell what it is before she even opens her mouth. "We should go for a night swim."
She doesn't need to tell me twice.
Taking her hand in mine, we walk toward the ocean. We have quite a bit of privacy here, because this is private property and the other rooms face away from this particular spot. It's exactly why I chose this hotel and why I always come here—it's flexible, and a lot can be done without prying eyes.
Nikki takes off her dress, and she's in just her underwear. Not even a bathing suit—dark lacy underwear that just hugs her body perfectly. The look she gives me under her lashes makes me hard.
I don't think we'll be swimming for too long.
The water's cold, but still warm, if that makes sense. Nikki swims away from me, her skin shining under the pale moonlight. Watching her in the water is so damn erotic; I think everything this woman does is sexy.
I catch up to her and wrap my arms around her as the waves rock us back and forth. I kiss her neck, tasting salt because of the water. But her scent is there, too. I love how she smells.
"Roman," she chuckles. "I can't believe you're digging your hard-on into my ass like this."
My hand reaches around to grab her breast. "Want me to stop?"
She rolls her head back so it lands on my shoulder. "No."
"Good. Because I wasn't planning to."
"Do you know how that sounds?" she chuckles. "You rascal."
Nikki wraps her legs around my waist and I carry her out of the water before setting her down on the sand. She looks around, confused. "What're you doing?"
"Fucking you," I reply coarsely before kissing her neck.
She shoves my chest. "What do you mean!? Here!?"
"Nobody's watching."
"You don't know that!"
"Nikki," I say before raising myself to peer into her face, "even if someone were watching...so what? It's us. I know damn well that there's always been a part of you that wants to be watched."
She narrows her eyes at me but I notice how she clenches her thighs. Such a dirty girl. "I can't believe you just said that to me."
"Nikki," I groan, rocking against her. She raises her hips to meet my thrusts. It's so fucking magical. I kiss the side of her neck, tasting her on my tongue. The water just touches our feet.
"Harder," she pleads.
I give her what she wants, because I can't deny her anything. Heat coils low in my belly, and I know I'm close but I need to give her this first. I have to. I reach between our bodies and flick her clit between my fingers, driving her closer to the edge.
Nikki cries out, her legs tightening further around my middle. I fuck her hard and fast, panting her name. Tears leak from her eyes as she holds onto me. "I'm...God."
She climaxes, and I come right after her, spilling my seed into her because I couldn't pull out on time. I lay on top of her, trying to catch my breath while my heart slams against my ribs mercilessly.
The shit this woman does to me...I'd die a happy man in her arms.
"You're insane," she giggles breathlessly. I kiss her wet cheeks. Taste her tears. Every part of her is delicious. "Someone definitely saw us."
I shrug. "Fuck them. This is about us. We're not responsible for the perverts in the world."
She smiles but says, "This could've been avoided."
I run my fingers along the side of her face. I'm still inside her. Changing the subject, I say, "You know I'd do anything for you, right? Anything, Nikki."
Her gaze softens. "Roman."
"No matter what happens," I continue, "because I'm bound to fuck up at some point...promise me you'll believe in my love. The love I have for you."
I think about the baby without meaning to, and how perfect our lives could have been if I hadn't fucked it all up. Nikki turns her head to the side and a tear escapes me. A single fucking heat holding all my pain. All the shit I regret. All the shit I can't say out loud.
Hell, maybe it's not a tear at all. Just the humidity.
"I promise," she finally says, and we kiss one last time before I carry her into our room, leaving our clothes behind, and fuck her to my cock's content.
