Not wanting him to rush anything for her, Rose shook her head. “Stay as long as you need to. As long as you promise to come down often, I can wait. I’ll be busy with school and soccer anyway.”

Done with this downer topic, Rose kissed him, lifting herself onto him again and wrapping her legs around his waist. She did the same with her arms, wrapping them around his neck. Instantly, she felt the rise in his shorts as she kissed him deeply. Since their first time in her room, they’d gotten hotel rooms several times and made the most of their secret love cave at the beach.

Since Rose wasn’t allowed to spend the night with him, they only rented hotel rooms when they both had the entire day off. They’d check in as early as the hotel would allow and be there until curfew. Rose was absolutely mesmerized by some of the things he’d done to her, but she still couldn’t get enough.

Reaching into his shorts, she wrapped her hands around him and stroked. Groaning, Vince pulled away from her mouth. “We can’t here, babe.”

“I want to,” she said, biting his lower lip then sucking it.

God, did she ever. She was so ready for him now. Before he could protest further and because his body language said he was more than ready, too, she reached down, pulling him completely out of his shorts and slid her bikini bottom to the side. When Vincent realized what she was doing, he pulled her behind up higher and spun around so he could pin her against the wall of the pool.

He looked around nervously, but his breathing was so ragged she knew Sal and Grace walking out the back door would be the only thing that would stop this from happening now. One thing he’d let her in on earlier that summer was how much it turned him on to hear her talk dirty. He said it was especially arousing because he knew just how innocent she was. “Fuck me,” she whispered in his ear. “Fuck me right now—right here.”

Without giving it another thought, Vince plunged into her hard. Rose cried out, loving the way he felt in her. She wrapped her arms tighter around his neck. “I own this?” he grunted.

“Yes,” she gasped, barely able to catch her breath.

He kissed her neck then sucked it, making her tremble as he thrust in her again and again, harder and faster with each thrust. “Say it, Rosie.”

“You own me, Vincent. You know that.” Her body began to tremble as everything, his mouth, his body his words aroused her completely.

“Forever?”

“Yes,” she said breathlessly, feeling the beginning of her climax.

She’d only begun to come without him having to use his fingers or tongue the last few times they’d been together. It was so amazing she’d even begun to have naughty dreams where to her surprise she’d actually climaxed.

He squeezed her behind with both hands, pushing her harder against him making him go even deeper into her. “Say it to me, baby. Tell me this is all mine forever.”

His pulling her into his thrust that way made him rub the perfect spot just so, and she could barely get the words out as waves of pleasure exploded throughout her. “Oh my God!” she cried as he continued to pump her, making her climax that much stronger. “You own all of me, Vincent,” she kissed him madly before adding, “forever and ever and ever.”

He pushed into her one last hard time grunting loudly, and she clung to him, feeling his heart pummeling against his chest. They stood there holding onto one another tightly for a few minutes longer as they each caught their breath.

Vince went down, taking her with him underwater. Rose didn’t even realize how hot she’d gotten, until feeling the refreshing water drench her head. They popped back up together still holding each other. “I love hearing you say that.”

Rose smiled, leaning her face against his hard wet chest. “I know you do. I don’t know why you don’t just take my word for it once and for all. I’m yours forever, Vincent Moreno.” She glanced up at him very seriously. “Nothing will ever change that.”

She had to smile, knowing that no matter how satisfied Vincent appeared at that moment, he’d be asking her to say it again. And just like all the other times she’d happily comply. She’d say it until she was blue in the face if it made him happy because if there was anything she was sure of, it was that. Rose couldn’t even imagine feeling for anyone else what she felt for Vincent.

CHAPTER TWELVE

Vince

As soon as Vince stepped out of the bus, he called Rose. This was his usual after-work routine. He hated talking on the phone on the bus like so many of the other riders did and let the rest of the people on the bus in on their conversation. So he’d texted her until he got off.

So far their text conversation had been the usual, updating each other on how their days had gone, until she let him know what she was in the middle of.

I’ve been looking up apartments in this area. La Jolla is pretty pricey, but the surrounding areas aren’t too bad.

That was the last text he got before he got off the bus. He hadn’t bothered responding to that since he was off the bus now and could call her. He spoke as soon as she answered. “Rosie, I told you the whole thing about us moving in together wouldn’t be for a while. I don’t even know how long it’ll take me to get the business going once I finish school. It might be longer than I was thinking.”

There was silence on the other end for a moment. “I uh…I wasn’t looking this up for us. I know it’ll be a while before we look into this. Grace asked me to look up some prices for my mom. She might be moving down here soon. I just thought I’d mention it because I didn’t realize how expensive this area was…that’s all.”
