Chapter 333

We were running out of time. I had maybe twenty minutes, at best, on the boats. Probably less. I wanted to spend hours with Zenya, kissing her and holding her and talking about each other and our lives and the future. I wanted hours with all of them. Days.

But I wouldn’t get that until we were already in that future. And Zenya knew that too, and so even though we didn’t want to move we got up and I held her in a hug, and then we left the room. Outside lunch was winding down, but with one look Leia broke from the conversation she was in and came to me. I didn’t care anymore what the very few people who weren’t in on things with us thought - Ginnie was happy for Leia, as far as I knew, and Heels had her stoic/playful outlook. With Heather and Sherry still in hiding instead of showing their raspberry-coloured asses in public, that just left JC and- Well, I still felt the same way about him. So as she came to me I took Leia’s hand and pulled her to me. Sweet and pretty as a fairy, she slipped into my arms and kissed me lightly, and then we headed back to the cabin.

“Come here,” she said, surprising me by taking charge. Unlike most of the ladies she was wearing a cute summer dress, and I got a flash of her panties as she climbed up onto the bed on her hands and knees and then laid down on her stomach. I went to lie down next to her, but she wiggled her bodacious butt and shook her head. “Lay on top of me, Tiger. I want to feel you like a weighted blanket so that when I get home I can daydream it’s you on me.”

I groaned as I did as she asked, gently laying down on top of her with her ass pressed to my crotch. It took a moment to get comfortable, but soon I was her blanket and she sighed as she rested her head on its side.

“Are we crazy?” she asked.

“Probably,” I sighed.

“Like, I thought you were attractive a week ago,” she said. “And within a week I’ve developed a crush, had sex with you and your fiancee, decided I loved you, did more stuff with you and another of your girlfriends, not to mention having sex in front of Ginnie, and now we’re going to move in together.”

I knew exactly how she was feeling, but also... “You know, when you put it like that I think we’ve accomplished a lot in a short amount of time.”

She rolled her eyes and smiled.

“I heard about what happened over on your boat,” I said.

She scoffed lightly, a very light flush rising in her cheeks. “I got a little carried away.”

“You said exactly what we’ve all been thinking,” I assured her. “I told Heather the same things. Maybe hearing it from someone else will wake them up. Or at least Sherry.”

“Hopefully,” she murmured. “I just didn’t want to hear them being so entitled over and over. Main character syndrome to the extreme.”

“I love you, Sunshine,” I said with a smile, kissing her cheek. “Can I ask you for something?”

“Anything,” she promised.

“Can you promise me not to get all shy again while we’re apart? I think you’re cute as hell no matter what, but you’re so much more you when you’re feeling confident.”

“That depends,” Leia said. “Can I think of you whenever I’m feeling a little overwhelmed?”

“Absolutely,” I said. “And you can call me, too. I’ll do my best to always be able to answer.”
