Dreamer(sequel)

Chapter 12: More Than That

Embry POV

She was beautiful. Smart, kind, funny, adventurous, dedicated. Everything I could want in a girl is what she was, just perfect little Brinley.

But she didn't know. She didn't know I was completely and utterly in love with her. She didn't know I dreamt about her every single night, and that I longed to love her like I should.

But Brinley was fragile. She wasn't something I could mess around with. Would this confession make it awkward? Would she feel the same?

"Em," her voice soft as silk whimpered as she stared up at me with those beautiful blue eyes, "just one more time, pretty pretty please."

I couldn't say no. So there I was, taking this unbelievably gorgeous human to her favorite beach. This has been her favorite since she was little, Shell Beach now unsafe to walk on barefoot.

We ducked into the hole in the fence, right under the 'DO NOT ENTER' caution tape. She didn't care, she stripped of her loose clothing and threw her shoes in the sharp Shells.

I dove into the cool water, shaking my head as I resurfaced. She swam close to me, my warmth helped her stay out longer. I watched as she looked up at the sunset. Everything grey besides my ray of sunshine.

Hair all over the place, smile from ear to ear I had done it again. Made her happy. Could I make her happy in other ways?

There was no doubt I could love her in every single way. Her personality kept me in her grasp, she was truly beautiful on the inside and out. She was unintentionally sexy. The temptation kills me but the other option tears me apart.

I rest my body on a smooth rock. Waiting for my angel to join me. She strode to me with a smirk on her face. Could I do this?

"Brinley?" I asked carefully

She looked like the mermaid queen as she prompted herself on the rock slightly. Long dark hair sprawled down her back and curls lazily kept on her shoulder.

I touched her hand, it seemed to tingle. I loved the feeling and I just smiled to myself.

"Do you feel it too?" she suddenly asked, catching me off guard.

I nodded, unable to speak as she took the words from my mouth. I sat a fool in her presence, breathless.

"Embry I think I love you," she said, long eye lashes dripping from the salt water.

"I-I imprinted on you, B-Brin," I stuttered as she ran a hand down my arm.

Goosebumps seemed to want to burst, my body feeling every emotion, every single feeling times one hundred. I'd never felt such pleasure.

She nodded, "It makes sense,"

I smiled at her, she moved closer. Brinley had bad habits of getting too close to guys. Alex made me let her date other guys, to make life normal. She has yet to phase.

Her soft tan skin slid across mine, she sat on my lap. A usually friendly gesture that suddenly made me melt at her fingertips. Her nails scraped softly at my scalp, she stared into my eyes with passion. I held myself back. Not too quick, it won't last if it's rushed.

I gently lifted her light body, throwing her in the water. Squeal of surprise as her body hit the cold water. I swam her back. Letting the comfortable silence fill the air.

Yes she made me want to rip my clothes off. And yes I was most definitely attracted to her in every way. But no. She was more than that.

We were more than that.
