Fuel me with your desire and burn me with your fire -Elijah Chambers

"Riverrr," I hear a small whisper and tingles on my arms. "Rivvyyy. Riv. River." I groan, turning around in my sleep as I awaken.

My eyes flutter open and I see Eli trailing his fingers over my arm. "Hi," I whisper. He smiles.

"Come on. We're all about to go jet skiing. Are you coming?" He asks. I nod, taking the sheets off me.

Today is our last day here. Yesterday, Prince and Isaac went to town and the beach so it was easy to steer clear of Isaac. Except during dinner but we did not talk to them.

I grab my bag, walk to the bathroom and throw on a black triangle bikini. I slide on jean shorts and a white t-shirt over top before walking back out.

Eli is dressed in a pair of black swim shorts. "Catch!" He throws me a grey t-shirt. I hold it up in front of me realizing it's one of his football shirts. His name CHAMBERS spread across the back and the team logo is small on the front in dark green.

"You want me to wear this?" I ask. He nods as he packs his bag with a towel. "Why?" He turns around to face me.

He shrugs. "Just in case your asshole ex is there. Just a reminder you're mine," he speaks clearly and in a low firm tone.

"Yours huh?" I question pulling my lip between my teeth. I step forward closer to Eli.

He leans down, catching his lips with mine. "Mhmm," he mumbles against mine. I kiss back catching up with his pace.

His fingertips lightly trail up the back of my thigh sending tingles through my body. He reaches my ass giving it a hard squeeze and bites down on my lip softly. I can't help but moan in his mouth a little.

He groans, pulling away. "Keep making those sounds and we won't make it to jet skiing," he rasps. I laugh lightly knowing the slightest things turn him on.

"Is that a promise?" I raise an eyebrow at him. He stares at me for a few seconds before grumbling and grabbing the backpack off the door and leaving.

I laugh quickly changing shirts before running after him. "Better hope that lake water is really cold!" I shout followed by a laugh.

Eli playfully glares at me, making me laugh even harder.

Fortunately Ebony brothers and guests left. I'm glad Isaac is gone. I didn't bother explaining to anyone else what happened between Isaac and I. I just want to let the past be the past and forget about him.

"There's only three so you guys are going to have to share. Catch!" Ebony tosses a pair of keys between Marcus and Jordan. They shove each other and begin wrestling for the key.

Ebony turns to us and underhand throws me the key. I reach for it but right before I can grab it, another arm does. I look back at Eli who shoots me a wink. "Just follow me. There's a waterfall we're heading to," she says.

Ebony and Eli get on a jet ski and head further out into the water. "Ever ride a jet ski before?" Eli asks as we walk to ours.

I slide off my shorts and shirt and place them next to Ebony and Ellie's. "Nope," I answer. I pick up a life jacket off the ground before sliding them on.

"Get on!" He tosses me the key and I take it sliding the lanyard around my wrist.

"I don't know how," I mumble.
