Chapter 19// Apollo

I've just explained to Blue about what happened between me and Cameron earlier on. I suppose telling the truth isn't too bad now that she's riding me on the beach under the stars, just what I wanted. It's way past midnight and it's quiet apart from the calm waves that crash gently against the shore.

"It feels so good, Apollo." She moans, scratching at my bare chest and throwing her head back.

My arms wrap tightly around her waist and I drunkenly knock over a bottle of wine that we took from the restaurant once we'd finished eating. We both freeze and look at the bottle of red that spills onto the white sand. Then our eyes connect and we burst out laughing.

"This is meant to be serious." I slur, my head falling into Blue's soft cleavage. "Does my dick feel good, baby?" I moan as she grinds against me.

Suddenly, Blue freezes, and I instantly furrow my eyebrows. The first thought going through my head is that she doesn't like my dick. How can she not like my dick?! I avert my eyes to hers to see her eyes are clenched shut.

"What is—"

"Shh!"

"Baby—"

"Shh!"

"Blue—"

"Shut up!" She covers my mouth, muffling my protests. Her eyes are still screwed shut and I'm very confused. My dick twitches inside of her and I squeeze her hips, urging her to keep moving. Why on earth has she just suddenly stopped?!

"You feel that?" She finally breaks the silence and removes her hand from my face.

"I feel you?" I tilt my head, making my answer sound more of a question.

"No, you idiot!" She slurs, swaying slightly. "The peace that surrounds us. Do you not feel so... happy?"

Now that she's said that, it makes sense. I feel at peace. This is the best I felt in an extremely long time and it's all because of her. My Blue. But right now, my mind is in a haze due to being intoxicated by a bottle of wine.

"I feel it, baby, but I feel you too. Can we continue?" She rolls her eyes and pats my arm, but rides me until we're both coming together.

I can't help but fall back onto the sand, taking Blue down with me. My arms wrap tight around her as she rests her head on my chest.

"You're going to get sand all in your hair." She whispers and I chuckle, lightly shrugging my shoulder. "It's gonna get all in the bed."

"Then we'll have a shower or something," I mumble, resting my eyes. I could seriously fall asleep on this beach.

"Apollo?"

"Hmm."

"I love you." I smile at her words because if this was a while back, she wouldn't even say she liked me. "I want to be with you forever."

"You can have me forever, sweetheart." I rasp, stroking her back gently.

"What if I can't?" My eyebrows furrow and I open my eyes to see her looking down at me with sorry painted on her beautiful features. "What if we can't be together forever? What if what we have can't last forever?" I sit up with her in my arms and tuck one of her braids behind her ears.

"Where's all this coming from, Blue?" I release a nervous laugh. Sobering up a little. "I don't think I could be with anyone else that's not you."

"I'm sorry. I'm just overthinking, ignore what I've just said." She smiles gently. I cup hold of her face and pepper kisses on the corner of her lips.
