Until This Summer
Part II

We carried two thick blankets, folded chairs, and things for our barbeque.
"I'll go swimming. Are you sure there is no jellyfish in there?" I eyed down at him who already started a fire.
"Nah. You're safe, are you sure you can swim?" He looked up at me with concern in his eyes.
I rolled my eyes. "I wouldn't dare go far if I can't swim. I'm sure I'd be drowned before you can rescue me."
"I'm not joking when I asked you, babe. Just the two of us here and you're practically my responsibility since this is Dela Vir's property."
"I'm sorry for being snarky again."
"I love your snarkiness."
My heart just leaped out of my chest with his comment and it was difficult to ignore when he sounded so sincere. I quickly shrugged off my blue robe to the chair and walked to the water.
Hearing him curses made me smile and inwardly celebrate. I intended to wear a two-piece red swimsuit just for him. I may be short but I swam in college and did yoga regularly.
My feet dipped in the water. I started to swim when the water reached my waist, swinging my arms in long strokes simultaneously and dove deeply in.
A hand gripped my ankle startled me, causing me to jerk my head above the water. A sharp breath escaped my lips and I stood up when strong arms snaked around my waist causing me to go rigid. I elbowed Earwyn making him laugh out loud.
"You thought I was a hot sea creature." He tightened the grip around my waist possessively.
"Not funny! And there so such thing as a hot sea creature." I bit back the moan as his touch was like burning metal on my skin. It was searing, yet pleasant with internal delight.
Before I can close my eyes to feel more of it, his arms were suddenly gone and I could swear I sighed in dismay.
After eating our dinner, Erwyn joined beside me on the chair as I watched the chocolate melted in the bowl on top of the barbeque stand. He stabbed the fork into the fresh strawberry and offered it to me. I dipped it into the melted chocolate and blew it to cool off, then bit it.
It was juicy and sweet as I savored it in my mouth. Erwyn just stared at me like I'm the most anticipated scene in the movie. I licked my lips with a quizzical looked.
"Fuck!" His lips were already crashed into mine in a fierce, hungry with a punishable kiss while his hands cupping my face.
My heart thudded and pumped wildly, my thought scattered but before I can respond, he let me go abruptly. My wide eyes grew wider as I processed what had just happened. "Did you?"
"Kissed you? yeah," he said with no remorse. His gaze locked mine with intensifying lust that sent a jolt through me.
"Then why did you suddenly stop?"
His lips were on me again. This time I kissed him back like there was no tomorrow. Erwyn lowered the kiss into a pure passionate, slow, careful and no rush at all. His lips traveled down my jaw, to my neck, then kissed back my lips hungrily making me moan giddily.
We were both catching our breath as our foreheads were pressed together dumbfoundedly.

I woke up with the tickling kisses of Erwyn on my back.
"Morning, Dania." His morning voice was even sexier.
