Chapter 23: The Tide Pools
The tide was at its lowest, and the rocks below the Point Loma lighthouse lay wet and black in the gray before sunrise.
We had climbed down the cliff path in the dark with a thermos and a blanket and not much sense.
A wave slapped a boulder and threw spray over both of us, and my white shirt went transparent against my skin.
Ruel stopped on the wet rock in front of me.
He looked at my breasts through the cloth, and then at my face.
"Not here," he said. "The park opens at nine."
"It's five in the morning."
"Captain."
"The only witnesses are sea lions," I said.
Up the shore, on the flat rocks beyond the pools, a dozen of them lay in a heap, barking.
He laughed under his breath, and the sound went through me.
He backed me against the great boulder at the head of the pools and put his hands on either side of my head.
The stone was cold and rough through my wet shirt.
His mouth came down on mine, salty and cold and then hot.
I opened for him at once.
He kissed me slowly, deeply, with the sea breaking behind him, and my hands slid up into his hair.
"I have a plan," he said against my lips.
"Tell me."
"I'm going to kneel here in this water and eat you until you say my name to the whole cliff."
My knees went weak.
"Then do it."
He undid my shirt one button at a time and peeled it off my shoulders.
The air struck my bare skin, and my nipples tightened, and he bent and took one in his mouth and sucked.
I gasped at the sky.
His cold fingers undid my jeans and drew them down my legs, and I stepped out of them onto the rock.
I stood naked against the boulder with the first light on my skin, and I did not want to hide.
"Beautiful," Ruel said.
He stood close and ran his palms down my arms, over my ribs, and around to the soft curve of my stomach.
His hands were cold from the water, and I flinched, and then I pushed into them.
He cupped my breasts and kneaded them, slowly, and rolled the nipples between his thumbs until I whimpered.
