Jace swam hard. He wasn’t a weakling by any means. He’d lifted girls over his head and tossed them in the air for years, but Colt was faster and caught Jace easily, pulling him under by the feet. Jace broke the surface, gasping for breath. Colt grabbed him, wrenching his body forward, holding him securely in his arms. His tongue plunged inside Jace’s open mouth before he could even clear the water from his eyes. Jace responded immediately by wrapping his long legs around Colt’s waist and deepening the kiss. Seconds later, Colt pushed against his rim.
Between the suntan oil and the ocean, Jace was slick and ready, allowing less resistance when Colt entered him. Jace tore from the kiss, tossing his head back, gasping at the welcomed invasion. Colt pushed deep inside him in one mind-blowing thrust.
They were awkward. Neither able to get much leverage, the waves made it too difficult. Colt worked Jace, using his hands and hips. Jace wrapped himself tighter around Colt, using his thighs to help hold him against the waves. It was so freaking hot to be making love to Colt in their own little secluded spot in the Pacific Ocean. Jace grabbed Colt’s face, kissing him with all the passion inside his heart.

Colt tried to keep his wits about him. There was no way he was breaking from the kiss or removing himself from Jace’s ass, but he wanted Jace on the shore and that proved difficult.
Colt moved his hips, continuing to kiss Jace, all the while slowly moving them back to shore against the pull of the current. He hadn’t bothered with a condom, but Jace didn’t seem to notice or mind. Colt certainly didn’t. Having Jace bareback again was his dream come true. Damn the consequences.
When Colt got closer to the shore, he gripped Jace’s ass, balancing him as he held all of Jace’s weight, and managed to keep himself buried deep inside his ass. Jace never seemed to notice they’d left the water. The look of sheer ecstasy lit his face. Jace closed his eyes, slanting his mouth over Colt’s.
Colt took a few steps onto the beach before he dropped to his knees, the water still covering their legs as he pounded into Jace. He flexed his body, fucked Jace with everything he had in him. He was a man consumed, a man in love, and he needed Jace to feel how much he loved him before he spoke the words aloud.
“Goddamn, you feel good,” Colt muttered, dropping his head to Jace’s chest. His hips pistoned, and Jace could do little more than beg. Colt had no idea what Jace begged for. He wasn’t certain Jace knew, but seconds later, Jace came, shooting creamy ribbons between their wet bodies. He hadn’t even touched Jace’s cock. It was such a turn-on knowing he could make Jace come without stroking him to climax.
They’d made love no less than fifteen times over the last four days, but here Jace was, eager and still ready for him. He couldn’t control his release any longer. Colt came with a roar, wrapping Jace tighter in his arms as his release filled Jace’s ass.
After several long minutes, well past the point of them both coming down off their orgasm, they lay in the surf, just holding one another in the wet sand. The water covered their legs, receding in intervals as the waves rolled in and then back out again.
“You’re everything to me, Jace. We have to work this out when we get home. I don’t want this to end.” Colt finally rolled off Jace, to his side.
“Me either,” Jace whispered back. This was Jace’s first time to agree. Colt pushed up on his forearms and smiled down.
“It took you long enough,” Colt said and kissed Jace’s lips.
“I had to be sure you were serious about us,” Jace replied honestly, his meaning clear in his gaze. What they shared between them was real. For Colt, it had been there for more years than he could count. Now he knew Jace returned those feeling, even if things had been left unsaid.
“Come inside with me. Let me just hold you. Tomorrow’s coming too fast.” Colt rose and lowered his hand to help Jace up. “Just so we’re clear. I’m gonna want you with me when I get drafted. I don’t know what team I’m going to yet, but if I get picked up, you’re gonna have to move with me.”
Colt drew Jace to him. For the first time, they both heard noises coming from down the beach. At the next closest house a couple stood on their balcony giving them a big thumbs up, whistling and cheering them on. Jace blushed, but Colt grinned at the attention and waved back. Inspired by the encouragement, Colt dropped down on one knee and kissed Jace’s knuckles. The whistles grew louder and Jace looked panicked by his actions.
“I’m not gonna say it now, but I hope you see where I’m going with this. I want the promise of someday from you. That’s all I’m asking, Jace.” Colt stood, not waiting for the answer and gathered Jace into his arms, kissing him deeply before making his way back inside.
Chapter 8
Even six hours after Colt’s plane taxied down the tarmac and lifted off the island, the smile hadn’t left Jace’s face as he waited to board his flight back home. They drove to the Kauai airport together, Jace wanting to see Colt off safely. They put off the departure for as long as they could, waiting until the very last possible minute, neither wanting to miss a minute together. Colt actually held Jace’s hand and kissed him before heading off to his waiting flight. Jace watched him rush down the corridor, jogging until he disappeared from sight.
The whole saying goodbye in a crowded airport was incredibly tragic in a very Shakespearian kind of way. They both teared up, making promises of forever in order to make it a little bit easier to end their secluded getaway. For the last six hours, Jace stayed put and waited for his flight home. He kept the rolling dialog going in his head, telling himself this wasn’t a goodbye, but actually the first day of the rest of their lives together as melodramatic as that might sound.
