Prologue
STANDING ON THE slick, damp rocks smoothed over by centuries
of wind tossed waves, my heart stopped. Piper wore nothing but her swimsuit and
the temperature was cool enough to make our noses blush pink. Hunger lingered
in her eyes, making my own desire burn through me, the frigid air forgotten in
the heat of a deep ache and longing pummeling me unexpectedly. I ran to her,
embracing her thin frame and attempted to stifle the goose bumps flaring across
her skin. We were on vacation on one of my favorite beaches of the Oregon
coast. A place to forget the insanity of college life.
The alcove was a small private beach, free from any barrage
of tourists. Leading her over the mess of rocks and sand to the blanket I had
set out for our picnic, I carefully cradled her body as we slipped down onto
it, our lips devouring each other’s until they felt downright bruised. Hers
were bright pink, full and swollen from my assault as I explored them. Our
skins had turned from frozen to searing, the wind all but forgotten except for
toying with the ends of her long brown hair with unseen fingertips. It lay
fanned out underneath us, a warm pillow for her head.
I’d never met anyone like Piper. She was the vision of my
dream woman, the one I never knew I had wanted; always spontaneous and filled
with a vibrant life force so few possess. I reached over and undid the ties to
her bikini, raking my fingers down her sides, desperate to devour every last
bit. She was soft and her curves supple against the hard rocks pressing on us.
We didn’t care, we were lost to the world. We could’ve jumped up and rushed
into the aged beach house a few yards away, where the fire burned warm and the
bed creaky but comfy, yet even that was not a concern. All that mattered was
kissing her, everywhere, everyplace in every way to make sure some sort of
fiery warmth caressed the cold away and our wanting satisfied.
Shivering from my touch, she opened her hooded eyes, glazed
with lust and most definitely matching my own. Her fingers curled around my
blonde hair, as she whispered my name “Sasha…” before her voice ebbed away and
my lips found hers once more. It was there that I gave away my heart, before
all the wrong snaked into our lives back home. Before all the flighty decisions
and selfishness had sent us spiraling into oblivion, leaving us broken. I
wanted it back, all the ‘before’ and ‘once upon a time’s’. I still did, now
more than ever before. Salvaging our hearts made me determined, it was the only
way either of us could really live again.
