The Last Sunset Read online

  Sean’s hands moved to her ass and squeezed her cheeks, helping her rock up and down.

  “Come for me, Tess,” he breathlessly said. “You know you want to.”

  Tess cried out as she felt herself climaxing again. After her first few surges subsided, she continued riding him a little slower, enjoying the feeling. Her breathing rate picked up, and her heart pounded as she felt another one coming. He wasn’t kidding about being a marathon man. Doesn’t this guy ever get off?

  She purred as she felt her clit swelling again, then bounced faster, increasing the friction on Sean’s cock.

  “Oh, Sean,” she wailed. “I can’t stop coming!”

  He squeezed her ass. “Do it, Tess,” he growled. “Make yourself feel good.”

  She complied with his order by moving faster on him. Her hands clenched and dug into his chest as she closed her eyes and gritted her teeth when she climaxed again. Tess exhaled a deep breath and moved slower on him.

  Sean moved her off him and positioned her on her knees. Tess rested her upper body and face on the bed while breathing heavily. She took in a deep breath when she felt Sean’s massive cock penetrating her from behind. He feels so damn good! He really is a marathon man. Anyone else would’ve come by now. She felt Sean’s hands firmly grasping her ass to hold her in place while he drove her.

  “You feel so good,” he said.

  Tess moaned. “Take me as long as you want. I love having your cock inside me.”

  She cried out in surprise when she felt Sean’s hand at her pussy, rubbing her clit with his finger while he poked her from behind. Her head swam from the feeling. No one’s ever done that to me before. Damn, he’s good!

  “Aw, damn, Tess!” he exclaimed. “I can’t hold it any longer!”

  “Come for me, Sean,” she panted.

  He groaned loudly as he came. Tess moaned when she felt his cock swell and explode inside her. After his surge waned, Sean continued moving but at a slower pace. He leaned forward, wrapped his arms around Tess’s waist and gently pushed her flat onto the bed. He lay on top of her then brushed her hair aside to plant wet kisses on the back of her neck. Tess felt lightheaded.

  “You’re fantastic,” he whispered.

  Tess giggled when Sean lightly nibbled on her earlobe from behind. She wiggled her ass against him.

  “You really are a marathon man,” she softly said.

  Sean began to move, but Tess reached back and placed her hand on his ass. “Don’t take it out. Just leave it there. I want to feel you inside me.”

  Sean rested himself on top of her and squeezed her from underneath.

  “Whatever you want,” he whispered.

  Tess slowly awoke and looked around the bedroom. Sunlight filtered in through the drawn curtains. Sean snoozed beside her with his head buried in the pillow. She smiled at seeing him in such a natural state and recalled the pleasure they’d given each other during the night. Good looking and a beast in bed, to boot. Guess I really lucked out.

  She quietly slid from under the sheet then put on her top, not bothering to button it. She walked softly toward the kitchen to see if there was any coffee to fix. As she passed the desk in the living room something caught her attention. She stopped to look at a faded newspaper clipping that was half hidden under a small stack of papers. She glanced over her shoulder before picking up the clipping.

  It was an obituary and was paper-clipped to a longer article and a photograph. She read the life story of a woman named Susan O’Connor from Columbus, Ohio who had died ten years earlier. Tess’s eyes stopped when she read the words, She is survived by her family and loving fiancé, Sean Adams.

  Tess looked at the other article, which was a newspaper account of Susan O’Connor being killed by a drunk driver. The attached photo showed Sean and Susan in a loving embrace, smiling for the camera. She dropped everything back on the desk. That’s what he was running from. That story he told me on the beach was just something to make me feel better about my own problem. She felt her face blossom into a smile. I think that’s the sweetest thing anyone’s ever done for me.

  She heard Sean moving in the bedroom and scampered back in. She sat on the edge of the bed and ran her palm along his bare shoulder. Sean’s eyes opened then blinked a couple of times. He smiled and placed his hand on her cheek.

  “Good morning,” he said. “Been up long?”

  “Just a few minutes. I hope I didn’t wake you.”

  She continued stroking his shoulder while looking at him in a new light. She felt another smile forming.

  “What’re you smiling about?” Sean teased.

  “Just remembering last night.”

  He laughed softly and caressed her cheek. “Me, too. You were right about what you excel at, but I lost count.”

  Tess leaned down and planted a lingering kiss on his lips. “It was six. You helped me set a new record.”

  “Is that a story you’ll tell everyone when they ask how you enjoyed your vacation?”

  She slowly wagged her head. “I think I’ll keep that one to myself.”

  * * * *

  Sean poured more wine into Tess’s glass, then set the bottle on the table. She took a sip then looked at the passing parade along the sidewalk outside Café Marquesa. They sat at a table on the covered patio. A light breeze gently moved the palm fronds and brought along a hint of ocean smell.

  “This is a very nice place,” she said. “Quaint and old fashioned.”

  “It’s one of the oldest restaurants in Key West—very old Florida style.”

  “I like it. The food was good, too.”

  “Thank you.”

  “Won’t you get in trouble with your boss, taking a couple of days off to show me around?”

  Sean shrugged. “Easy come, easy go. Besides, he wouldn’t risk losing the Bartender of the Year. Might be bad for business.”

  Tess laughed. “That award really means a lot to you, doesn’t it?”

  “Everyone needs something to be good at.”

  She took a drink then rested her glass on the table. “I like your attitude about things. I may have to adopt that when I get home. I guess no matter where you live or what you do, it’s all tied into job performance, isn’t it?”

  “Now there you go, equating success with the almighty greenback. You should learn to loosen up and relax. Life’s too short.”

  She sighed. “I hear you. I’ve really enjoyed the places you’ve taken me. I especially liked those cute little deer we saw on... what was the name of that Key?”

  “Little Torch Key. That was a state game preserve we visited. Those Key deer only grow to about three feet tall, and they’re an endangered species.”

  “That’s too bad because I could bundle one of them up and take it home with me.”

  Sean peered at her for a moment. “It looks like you acquired a nice tan while you were here. That’ll make everyone at home jealous.”

  Tess was silent for a few moments. Home. He would have to mention that. “I don’t really want to leave tomorrow, but I suppose I have to.”

  He sipped his wine. “That just gives you an excuse to come back someday.”

  Tess grinned. “Yeah, it does. Will you still be here if I do?”

  “I have no plans on relocating again.”

  She hesitated as she recalled the newspaper clipping she had read at his house, the one she didn’t want to ask him about. If he wants me to know about that part of his past, he’ll tell me.

  “Sean, may I ask you something?”

  “Fire away.”

  “You’ve really been great to me since you sort of rescued me the other night. You’ve taken time to show me around, and I’ve really enjoyed myself. Was it because you felt sorry for me?”

  He squeezed her hand. “No, it was because I like you. Tess, I want to make something clear. I don’t make a habit of hitting on lonely tourists or hoping for a hook-up each tim
e a cruise ship pulls into port. I have a pretty full life and a lot of things to occupy my time.”

  She gave a playful smile. “Yeah, I met a couple of them the other night at Crabby Dick’s.”

  “The point I’m trying to make is that I felt a connection with you and I thought it would be fun to get to know you better while you were here.” He paused. “But I’m sorry you’re going home tomorrow, too.”

  She peered into his eyes. “Then let’s make our last evening together something really special. You up for it, Panama?”

  * * * *

  Sean lay on his back while Tess knelt near his groin, her lips wrapped around his swollen cock while she stroked his shaft with her hand. She steadily bobbed her head up and down until most of his length was in her throat. He moaned softly while she sucked and stroked him, her throat massaging his head.

  She felt him start to swell and stopped sucking him. She waited for a moment, then flicked her tongue over his engorged head, causing him to throb and jerk.

  “Not yet, lover,” she whispered.

  Tess slipped a condom onto his stiff dick then mounted him, sliding down until he was fully embedded inside her, causing her to gasp.

  “Damn, you really fill me up!” she said. “I’ve never had one this big inside me before.”

  “You feel great around me,” he said. “You’re so hot and wet.”

  Tess placed her open palms on his hairy chest, then began riding him in a slow rhythm, feeling herself get wetter the longer they made love. He put his hands on her butt and fondled her. One of his hands went to her breast, squeezing her nipple into hardness.

  She leaned forward slightly to increase the friction of his shaft on her hard, swollen clit. He’s gonna make me come again. He already brought me off with his tongue, but I need another cum.

  Tess moved a bit faster, rocking on him until she felt her orgasm build. She let out a cry when her climax washed over her like a wave, giving her a feeling of lusty euphoria. Sean swelled inside her and moaned as he shot off, bucking a half-dozen times, his hard cock massaging every inch of her.

  Tess panted in satisfaction then lowered herself over him, resting her head on his shoulder while keeping him prisoner inside her body. Sean ran his palm along her sweaty shoulder, then massaged her neck under her long mane of hair. She kissed him, sliding her tongue into his mouth. Sean returned her heat, devouring her mouth.

  He pulled back slightly. “Tess, you’re incredible.”

  “So are you.”

  She still felt aroused and began rubbing against him again. Sean stayed hard inside her wet sleeve and drove his tongue deep into her hot mouth while she rubbed against him, moving faster. His strong hands pulled her close, holding her tight against him while they continued making love. She felt another climax brewing and bit his lower lip, stifling another ecstatic cry as she came again.

  They lay quietly, still locked in a passionate embrace while taking deep breaths. Sean lightly ran his hand along Tess’s back while she enjoyed his closeness. His manly scent was very comforting and made her want to stay close to him.

  She raised up to look into his eyes.

  “You look like you want to ask me something,” he observed.

  She grinned while brushing back a strand of hair from his forehead. “What makes you so damned perceptive? I was just wondering if you’ll miss me when I’m gone.”

  Sean was silent for a few moments. He ran his fingers along her cheek.

  “Tess, I want you to know something. I’ve never been one of those guys who wants to make love to every hot woman who crosses my wake. It’s never been part of me to give my heart away.” He paused. “I did it once, and it was disastrous. I swore I’d never do it again.”

  Tess recalled what she had accidentally discovered a few days earlier. “I know. You told me about that.”

  He shifted their position so they could both lay on their sides. He brushed her hair away from her face while she looped her leg over his thigh, not freeing him from her body.

  “That story I told you on the beach wasn’t the real reason I bailed on the human race,” he continued. “I was engaged to someone in Ohio, someone I wanted to spend the rest of my life with. A month before our wedding, she got killed by a drunk driver. I went through the customary mourning period, then one day, I woke up and realized that I just couldn’t handle it. I had to run away, to try to find myself again. That’s how I ended up here. Not a very manly thing to admit, but it’s the truth.”

  Tess kissed him, letting her lips linger against his. She felt a deep connection, one she hadn’t felt with anyone in a long time.

  “That was tough for you to say, wasn’t it?”

  He grinned. “I’ve never told anyone else. To my friends down here, I’m just a guy who drifted into town one day and decided to stay.”

  She cupped his cheek. “I envy you for having the guts to do that. I’m not sure I could do the same thing.” She hesitated. “And I think it was a very manly thing to do.”

  Sean kissed her. “I hope you never have to make that decision.” He hesitated. “And the answer to your question is yes, I’m going to miss you.”

  He abruptly rolled Tess onto her back, pinning her to the bed. She was surprised when he began kissing her ravenously again while rubbing the back of her neck. He humped against her, his semi-hard cock still lodged between her legs.

  Sean pulled out then slid down to her groin, planting his face between her legs.

  “You deserve one more good tongue lashing,” he said.

  Tess felt heady as Sean began mouthing her dripping pussy, his tongue treating her like she was an ice cream cone, moving from bottom to top with slow, deliberate licks, savoring her flavor. She closed her eyes and panted as his tongue burrowed its way inside her, sucking out her juices.

  Tess gasped again when Sean inserted his middle finger into her snatch, massaging her G-spot while he sucked her hard clit. She closed her eyes and moaned softly when she realized what he was doing.

  He wants to make me squirt. I’ve only done that once before, and I had to do it to myself. Damn, I’m gonna gush all over his face if he keeps that up!

  Her lusty euphoria increased the longer he worked her over, hitting all of her hot spots. She ground her pelvis against his tongue and mouth, losing herself to what was happening, letting go and going with the feeling. She placed her hand on the back of his head and pushed him against her groin, wriggling in pleasure.

  She felt her climax building and gave herself the mental okay to let loose. She let out a loud cry of passion and bucked, pushing against Sean’s mouth as she came, giving him her full orgasm and squirting into his eager mouth. He lapped up her cum and kept licking her.

  Tess panted in satisfaction then took in another gasp when she felt Sean insert himself into her again, still hard. He rocked against her until he was fully inside. He leaned down to kiss her.

  “You’ve got me so hot I just can’t stop making love to you tonight,” he whispered.

  Tess wrapped her legs around his waist, urging him to go deeper. Sean complied by making hard thrusts into her. He pulled out so that just his head teased her vulva and clit, making him swell. After getting fully aroused again, he made one long plunge, impaling her and making her take a deep breath.

  Oh, God, he’s gonna split me in half with that thing!

  She pulled his face to hers and kissed him like it was the last thing she would ever do. Her cum still lingered on his lips, and she eagerly licked it, savoring the taste of her own climax. She sucked his mouth to hers and stifled a cry as he came inside her, his cock swelling again as he shot off.

  They stayed locked as one, panting in the afterglow of satisfying sex.

  Sean gave her a deep kiss. “Still wondering if I’m gonna miss you after you leave?”

  Tess closed her eyes and purred in contentment.

  Tess looked over the magazines and books on
display in the gift shop of the Key West Airport and made her selections. It’s gonna be a long flight home, and I’ve got that never-ending layover in Atlanta. Better get something good.

  Her eyes latched onto a book, and she smiled as she read the title—“How to Live in Key West on a Budget.” She added the book to her stack, then took them to the cashier.

  She strolled through the concourse, got a cup of coffee at Starbucks then proceeded to her gate. She felt an ache in her gut but wasn’t sure why. I’ve left places to go home from vacations before and never felt overly sentimental. Why am I doing it this time?

  She recalled the events of the past few days. Sean was really sweet to take a couple of days off from work to show me around. I thought I’d seen everything Key West had to offer, but he took me to some places you don’t find in the tour guides. And what we did the past couple of nights! The man’s an animal. I don’t think I’ve had so many orgasms in the past three years, let alone the past three days. It really felt great to have someone want me, too, and not just for carnal pleasure. He actually listened to me and took an interest. I haven’t felt that for a long time.

  Tess reached her departure gate and took a seat. I am so not looking forward to going home and facing my friends. I can handle the questions but not the fake sympathy. I never liked cardboard caring from well-meaning people who were better at keeping their mouths shut. I wonder how long it’ll be before someone tries to fix me up with some lonely guy they just happen to know? Maybe I should change my phone number.

  A half-hour later she heard the announcement for boarding and took her place in the long line. When she was on board, she stowed her carry-on in the overhead bin and took her window seat. She gazed out the window at the palm trees that lazily flapped in the gentle breeze and sighed. I know I’ll miss him, but is it real or just rebound because I got dumped at the altar? Maybe Panama had the right idea—chuck it all, move to paradise and become anonymous.
