Dark and Dangerous

Chapter 22

The University was a block away from the beach. I ran unitl I reached the sand, suddenly grateful for my long legs. I could hear Niall's footsteps falling behind me, and I quickly reached down to pull of my converse and socks before running farther towards the water. I dropped my shoes and bag and made my way into the crashing waves, enjoying the way the water moved against my legs. I had always felt complete in the water. My parents had always said I was supposed to be a mermaid. That probably explained why I was one of the star swimmers in high school as well.

I stopped and closed my eyes, feeling the waves crash around me. I loved the sound of the ocean. The beach was empty, as it was a remote part of the shore. Not many people came out to this part, so it was almost always deserted. The setting of the sun made it seem like I was in a movie.

I felt Niall's arms wrap around my waist and I leaned into him. His being here only made it better. I felt like I was in a dream, that I would wake up and nothing about these past few weeks would be real. 

"I caught you." He whispered in my ear before he pulled my hair and let it fall over my left shoulder. It flew in the wind. His lips kissed gently down my exposed neck, and he sucked on my sensitive spot above my collarbone. I tilted my head, giving him more access as I looked back at the setting sun over the horizon.

"It's beautiful, isn't it?" I said, mesmerized by the soft orange light. I was always one to love the beauty of nature. Even the little things, a monkey playing on a branch, or a bird whistling in the early morning, were beautiful to me. 

"Almost as beautiful as you." He replied, placing his chin on the top of my head. I fit perfectly under his chin. I turned in his arms and wrapped my arms around his torso, hugging him tight. I only ever came out to watch the sky alone. It was nice having someone with me. I was grateful for him. Grateful that he was here with me, that he even wanted to be. He kissed the top of my head and held me tightly. I couldn't help but think that it all was too good to be true. That I really was going to wake up one day and he'd be gone.

"Stop thinking like that. You'll never lose me, Jessica." He said, as if he'd read my mind. "Your heartbeat sped up. It was either you were thinking about losing me again, or you were getting seriously turned on." I felt his grin against my head.

"I can't help it, Niall. This all seems too good to be true." I buried my face against his shirt, taking in the smell of his cologne. 

"Take a swim with me, Jessica." He whispered. He slid his hands under my t-shirt and lifted it over my head before pulling his own off and throwing them over with our shoes. He stepped out of his jeans, careful not to get them wet, and threw them aside as well. I slid off my shorts, and was left in my white bra and panties. I hugged him close again, loving the way he felt against me. He was so strong, solid, and I was soft. I felt fragile and small in his arms. He lead me farther into the water. It was a suprisingly warm night for November, and the water was only about 70 degrees. It was unusual, but I was grateful for it.

The water soon reached my mid-stomach, and I ducked down into it, wetting my hair and slicking it back. It fell down against my lower back. Niall did the same, and when he came up his hair was matted against his forehead. I smiled and ran my fingers through it, pushing it back so I could see his eyes better. The blue hues greeted me, and he pulled me closer.  His hands were on my bare back, and mine on his chest. I took one hand and cupped his cheek, moving my thumb slightly across his cheekbone.

He dipped his head, gently pushing his lips to mine. The kiss was soft but deep. Passionate and full of love. I loved him. More than anything. I knew I wouldn't be able to take it if he left me. His tongue entered my mouth, caressing me and licking inside me. I sucked on his tongue and he groaned, pulling me tighter against him. His member pushed against my lower stomach under the water. I slipped my hands in his boxers and wrapped my fingers around him. 

I fondled him as his kiss grew more urgent. I slid his boxers down and he stepped out of them, pushing them deeper into the sea. My hands moved back and forth slowly, and he finally broke the kiss. We both were breathing heavily when he slipped his thumbs into the sides of my panties.

"I've never done this before." He said, his voice raspy and rough.

"Neither have I." I whispered in reply. His thumbs pushed the thin material down and I floated out of them. His hands moved to unclip my bra, and he threw that into the water. The sun was fully set now, the night dark and the sea black. There were a few lights in the close distance, where the boardwalk and the pier was, but for the most part the full moon was the only thing that lit up our part of the beach. 

His left hand held the small of my back, holding me tightly to him, while his right moved in between my legs. He moved up the inside of my thigh slowly before running his thumb over my entrance. I opened my legs to give him more access. His thumb pushed against my clit and started rubbing slow, hard circles. I tilted my head back and my mouth opened in a silent gasp at the intense pleasure running through me. 

His mouth covered mine in a fiery kiss as he slipped one finger inside me. I momentarily forgot I was holding him in my hands as he finger-fucked me, slipping in two and then three. I broke the kiss and gasped before moving my hands back and forth quickly. He threw his head back before looking down at me, moving his hand faster. I was on the verge of climax when he stopped.

"Ni-Niall.." I breathed. I didn't want him to stop. Not when I was so close.

"Hop up and wrap your legs around my waist, Jessica." He ordered. I did as I was told, wrapping my arms around his neck to keep myself up. His tip pushed against my entrance. He pressed his forehead to mine and looked into my eyes as he thrusted into me. I cried out but couldn't look away. He pushed in and out of me, increasing his speed after every thrust. After about five, I cried out his name in climax. He thrust once more before throwing his head back. 

"God-- Jessica!" He released inside me. I buried my head in the crook of his neck as I tried to catch my breath. His head rested on my shoulder, but he never pulled out of me. He held me against him, still semi-hard inside me. We stood there, up to our chests in the dark water, for a long moment before he pulled out of me. He kissed me deeply before he picked me up bridal style.

"The boys will be here tomorrow. I've got to get you home." He looked into my eyes and I smiled up at him. I was finally going to meet the rest of the band. The boys that were practically brothers to him. 

"Can't I stay with you?" I asked, looking up at him through my eyelashes. He growled as he started wading his way to shore. 

"You do that and we'll never get to see them." He said roughly as he put me down and pulled his shirt over me. "Sorry about your underwear." He said, amused. I looked out at the water and couldn't see them.

"Oh well. They're probably halfway to China by now." I replied, winking at him as I pulled up my shorts and watched him zip his jeans. He smiled back at me and took my hand, his other holding our shoes and my bag and shirt, as we made our way back to the university.
