⚠️ Content Warning: This story contains sensitive themes, including childhood sexual abuse (not graphically depicted), addiction, mental illness, and emotional trauma. These topics are explored with care and are not meant to glorify or romanticize harm in any form. What the Waves Remember is a raw, emotionally charged family novel about love, loyalty, and the unspoken damage that lingers beneath the surface. Ava Portwood has always been the dependable one-her mother's helper, her brothers' quiet anchor, and the daughter who never disappoints. She's studying to be a nurse, trying to keep everything afloat while their mother slowly loses her battle with cancer. Her twin brother, Sam, was once the pride of their small coastal Florida town: a gifted surfer, a golden boy with a magnetic smile and Olympic dreams. But after a career-ending injury at seventeen, he spiraled into addiction and self-destruction, leaving behind a trail of wreckage-and questions no one dared to ask. Now, freshly out of rehab and back home only because their mother is dying, Sam is a hardened, quieter version of who he used to be, and the house feels smaller with all of them under one roof again. As old tensions rise and family secrets fester, Ava tries to hold together what's left of their fractured world. But the summer has only just begun, and nothing stays buried forever-not grief, not guilt, and certainly not the truth.

They hated her at first... but they had no idea who she really was. Serena Carter once had a family - loud, messy, beautifully imperfect. It wasn't always easy, but it was hers. Then one accident ripped it all away, leaving her alone and unwanted. Now she's sent to live with the Morettis: four brothers and a father who see her as nothing more than the living reminder of betrayal. The stain on their perfect legacy. Ten months. That's all she needs to survive until she turns eighteen and can walk away. But hate is a dangerous thing. It turns into obsession. Into protectiveness. Into something no one expected. Because Serena has secrets - ones even she doesn't fully understand. And in a world where power is everything, she's about to prove she belongs where everyone swore she didn't. She isn't looking for love. She's fighting for something stronger: a place to finally call home.

I let her go and lifted my right knee closer to her clit, actually pressing it against her this time. Her body let out a small and sharp inhale, making me smile a bit. I'm sure she's so sensitive right now. Her body full of arousal. "You like that? You like feeling my knee against your pussy don't you?" I slowly started to move my knee around to see her reaction, and it was greater than I thought it would be. A small moan fell from her lips, making me smile as I slid my hand underneath her hips, this time encouraging her to move. "Move your hips just like that. I want to feel your pussy against my knee" I whispered to her. I can tell by the way her eyes dimmed that she had never done this before, but she was so ready to that she did exactly as I said. Her breathing got deeper as she began lifting her hips to fully meet the base of my knee, softly grinding herself against me. I hummed as I watched her, watching her literally move her hips to receive her first orgasm. The way her hips moved made my dick throb even harder, I could only imagine what she looked like if she was to ride me. She took her lip between her teeth and almost instantly I wanted to come. I was already straining myself and trying not to, but the sight of her doing that makes me almost fall apart. ˣ An Angel deprived of her sexual innocence, introduced to a new sexual experience that may turn her world upside down.
