Without You

Taking a step back, I held up my hands. “Fine. You know what? If you want to be treated like that, have at it, Grace. It’s your choice.”

I turned and walked up to Lex. I kissed her on the cheek and asked, “Wanna dance?”

She nodded her head quickly. “I sure do, cowboy!”

Lex and I danced and laughed for most of the night. I knew we were both just trying to hide the fact that we would be leaving for college in two weeks.

She pulled me closer to her as she whispered, “Make love to me.”

Smiling, I asked, “Where?”

She looked around and bit down on her lower lip. “The river. Right now.”

My mouth dropped open. “Are you nuts?”

She started laughing, and then she began running to the river. I quickly followed after her, but there was no way I would have sex with her in front of all these people—dark river or not.

Lex stripped out of her T-shirt and then pulled her boots off. Next came her jean shorts. Two seconds later, she was jumping into the river in her two-piece suit.

Right before coming to the party, we had all jumped off the rope swing into the river—well, mostly Colt and Luke had jumped off it, trying to outdo the other—so we still had on our swimsuits from earlier.

I pulled my T-shirt over my head and took off my sneakers. I’d opted to just wear my swim trunks here and not sweat my ass off in jeans. I glanced around. No one else was in the water.

I turned back around and looked at most everyone dancing. Taylor and Lauren were dancing with their friends, and Maegan was making out with some guy she had brought from Fredericksburg. Some people were standing by the fire we’d started in the fire pit. I saw Luke talking to Libby. He was already drunk, so I just prayed he wouldn’t say anything to hurt her.

I looked back at Lex, and she was holding up the bottoms to her swimming suit.

Motherfucker. She’s gonna kill me.

I quickly checked my pocket for a condom and ran toward the river. I jumped in, and she let out a small scream. I made my way to her and pulled her to me. My dick was already hard as a rock, knowing she was half-naked in the water.

She wrapped her legs around me, shoved her swimsuit bottoms into my pocket, and stuck her hand down my shorts. She slowly began stroking me.

“Damn it, Lex. If your brother sees us…”

She began kissing me. “He won’t.”

“Luke…” I whispered against her lips.

“He’s so damn drunk that he has no idea what’s going on.”

When she pulled her hand out of my shorts, she began pushing them down until my dick sprang free. She jumped off me, and I ripped the condom open as I moved to shallow water. I quickly rolled it on before moving back to where Lex was.

She quickly positioned herself over me and sank down.

I let out a groan.

She whispered, “Yes, that feels good. I’ve been wanting you all day.”

“Lex…”

She began grinding against me as she brought her lips back to mine. “Will…oh God, this turns me on so much.”

I began walking a little ways down so that we were somewhat away from everyone. I stopped and looked around, making sure I didn’t see any snakes. One quick look back at the party, and I was satisfied no one could see us.

I turned back to Lex and decided to give her a little taste of something different. “I’m gonna fuck you now, Lex.”

Her mouth dropped open as she slowly sucked in a breath of air and then whispered, “Yes.”

I grabbed her hips and began moving in and out of her body, hard and fast.

She wrapped her arms around my neck and dropped her head back. “Yes! Will, yes!”

I could feel her tightening up.

She snapped her head forward and looked into my eyes. “I’m gonna come.”

I stopped moving.

“No! No, no, no, Will. Why did you stop? I was about to come.”

I could hear the frustration in her voice.

“I don’t want you to come yet, baby.”

Her eyes grew bigger. “Will, I want to come!”

After looking back again, I slowly made my way farther down the river, still buried deep inside Lex. I wasn’t sure what in the hell I was thinking. We could be seen at any moment, and there could be snakes around us. At this point though, the only thing thinking was my dick. I saw the rock I was looking for, and I made my way to it. By the time I reached it, Lex was panting with need.

“Will, I don’t want to go swimming. I want you to do what you said.”

I looked back and couldn’t see anyone.
