Graduation and Gifts (Untouchable Book 8) by Heather Long (best books to read for beginners TXT) 📕

Archie and Jake as they waited for the second skiff—that was the word—bringing our luggage.

“Grunt work or exploring?” Coop asked, and I twisted to look at him. He let out a laugh and then called out, “We’re heading up to the house.”

“It’ll be open,” Archie said, and I blew him a kiss. I could almost see his wink behind the sunglasses.

“I totally have to jump Archie, later,” I told Coop as we hit the steps winding up the near tropical path to the house. “I mean, seriously jump him.”

“I’m down,” Coop told me with a grin. “You mind if I make popcorn before I watch?”

I paused a couple of steps above him and then gripped his face. His mouth opened to my kiss easily, and he banded his arms around my middle. Lifting me off my feet, he hugged me tight. I could drown in this kiss. It had begun as me wanting to share his joy and turned into him flooding me with it.

“I love you,” I whispered when I lifted my head. “And I love that you love when I love them.”

“You have no idea,” he whispered. “Watching you as you come, knowing you’d do the same for me and have, while they make you fall apart, and I can just savor every little gasp, flush, and sweet scream? It’s the fucking best, Frankie. I just have to ask…did you talk to Arch and Bubba?”

“No,” I confessed. “They’re letting you watch all on their own. You and Jake—I think you’re helping them do it. And I think the fact they are both trusting me more helps.”

His eyes narrowed. “They trusted you before. What the—”

BFF Coop who teased and played with me so easily would always be my favorite, but possessive and protective Coop opened up other sides of his personality that I adored. The ferociousness in his eyes heated me from the inside out.

“Not what I meant,” I assured him and brushed my fingers over his lips. “I think we’re all trusting each other more. Everything changed at Christmas. It changed again on my birthday…”

His smile turned sinful. “True.”

“And we’re all discovering new boundaries. So don’t think I’m worried, I’m not.” Funnily enough, that was so damn true. I was so fucking excited about where we were going and what we were doing. The journey—we were journey and destination. Anticipation quivered through me. “Now, we were going to explore?”

Coop still held me up, and I stroked his cheek. Over his shoulder, the beautiful blue ocean filled my view. The guys were below, offloading the luggage, and the yacht was in the distance. But it was so quiet and yet alive with the calls of birds, the rustle of leaves, and the soft hush of Coop’s breathing.

Another kiss, then he set me down. As I turned, he landed a slap on my ass, and I startled before he gripped and rubbed the spot he’d slapped. The rush of dampness to my thighs should’ve been embarrassing, but fuck that.

“So is it just with Bubba?”

“No,” I admitted. Though to be honest, I would always kneel for Ian. My Ian owned a part of me that he’d helped me find, and we were discovering more about her every day.

“Good to know,” he said, his playful grin making me laugh. I let him get ahead of me and then retaliated, landing a slap against his ass that made my palm burn. He shot me a look as I massaged the spot. “Testing a theory?”

“Depends—would you let me?”

Boldness flickered through me, and Coop considered me for a moment as I gripped his ass. With two light fingers, he tilted my chin up as he stepped back down to join me. This time, there was no distance between us, his breath feathered my lips as he spoke.

“Frankie, we can explore anything you want. You want me on my knees, I’m already there.”

Fuck.

Me.

This time, I nipped his lower lip when we kissed, then dragged my teeth over it before laving it with my tongue. At the rate we were going, we weren’t going to make it to the house.

Hand in hand, we turned abruptly then raced toward the house. As promised, it was unlocked. There were huge doors and windows on either side of the living room. We pulled them open as we laughed, letting the breeze in. It fluttered the sheer curtains, then Coop and I dashed up the stairs. The first door he pushed open revealed this huge, bright room with a massive bed in the center and netting around it.

One tug, and my bikini top hit the floor, then I stepped out of my shoes as Coop reached around me to pull my shorts down, and he swept the bottoms with them. His shirt floated down out of the corner of my eye, and then he pushed me up against the window that let us look down at the ocean and his cock slammed home into me and we both let out a shout.

The fullness was too much and not enough. Hands on my hips, he moved me as I fought to just hold on. Everything was so sensitive, and I swore I could feel every ridge on his cock as he drilled into me.

“Look at them,” Coop urged, and I flattened my hands against the cool glass as his every thrust rubbed my nipples against it. The competing sensations threatened to overwhelm me. Below, Archie had the crewmen facing him as he spoke. All the luggage was on the beach, but Jake and Ian were staring up at us, and I grinned slowly.

They could see me, and I opened my mouth to let the cries out. Coop’s hands were so tight and sweet as he pulled me back onto him, and I swore every push forward took me off my feet.

“Come for me,” Coop ordered. “Play with your clit and make sure Jake can see you dip your hand.”

I had no idea how to make—Fuck it. I licked two fingers, and I
