Climb on My Stepfather (Ashley and Alex)

Chapter 77

9: Stella.

The closer we get to the cove, the more self-conscious I'm becoming.

Maybe the spot is only magical to me.

Maybe this star athlete will take one look at my little crescent of sand with a view of the ocean and shrug. But he's holding my left hand as he drives, kissing my wrist, my knuckles, my palm, his eyelids heavy with lust-and somehow I know it's going to be all right. That he'll enjoy it as much as I do...

especially because we'll be together.

I wet my lips. "Turn here," I say, gesturing to the winding hidden path leading down to the base of the cliff, and Gage steers his truck in that direction.

Though now, he's sitting up straighter, his brows knitting together. "Stella, please don't tell me you've been coming here by yourself."

Who else would I come with? "Why?"

"Why?" The truck goes over a bump and he curses, shoving a handful of fingers through his freshly showered hair. "You've been walking down this path alone? It's barely wide enough for my truck." He glowers at the road ahead. "You could have gotten run over."

"But I didn't."

"It's too secluded out here. Please don't come here without me again, okay?"

He pulls to a stop at the end of the path, the sound of the ocean filling the cab of the truck. Immediately, he unbuckles my seatbelt and drags me across the console into his lap, his big quarterback hand framing my jaw. "Stop trying to get my girlfriend killed, huh?"

"I can't promise anything," I tease him.

"You can't promise anything? Nothing at all?"

Primly, I shake my head and try to wiggle off his lap.

He keeps me there with a powerful arm around my waist. "Promise you'll never let those girls give you another makeover..." His hand slides up beneath my skirt to cup my sex. "...and I'll eat your pussy again."

A hot shiver goes through me. "You won't d-do it again unless I promise?"

After a hesitation, he shakes his head. Once.

"That's too bad," I murmur against his lips, moaning lightly. "It felt so good."

His breath releases in a mighty shudder. "You calling my bluff, honey?" He tickles my ribs and I yelp, squirming on his lap. "You know how much I loved having my tongue in that pretty little thing, don't you?" He laughs, deep and pained. "You're already using your pussy against me and I haven't even fucked you yet." He massages me through my panties, visibly trying to get a hold of himself and failing. "Stella?"

"Uh-huh?" I whimper.

"You're going to be making a lot of promises before the night is over. To me."

His middle fingers push through the cotton against my entrance and I jolt, thighs clamping together around his wrist. "Enjoy your last few precious minutes as a virgin. I'm ready to sell my soul to get my cock in here."
