SPRING BREAK: HAWAII
SECRETS & SURFING
"This place is perfection come to life," Zed said softly as he rested his head on top of Addison's.
"The only thing that makes this better is that I get to have you here with me," she whispered with a smile as they watched the sunset into the water.
"I can't believe you guys own this place," Eliza said, snuggling into Bucky's side.
"Don't look at me." He placed a gentle kiss on top of her curly green hair. "This place is all Addie's."
"That's right, your Dad mentioned that it was your Grandpaw Donnelly's house. It's nice that it stayed in the family." Zed said quietly, still gazing out into the water, missing the glare that his girlfriend was currently shooting in her cousin's direction.
"Oops, sorry cuz. I didn't realize you hadn't said anything."
Zed and Eliza both looked at her in confusion.
"Fine! Since my big mouthed cousin brought it up. The house didn't just 'stay in the family'…It was left to me," she said as quietly and quickly as possible.
"Wait! So this is all yours?" Eliza exclaimed almost jumping to her feet.
"Not technically until my 21st birthday..."
"Are we talking the guest house, or…," she asked motioning all around them.
"Or….except the '62 Ferrari in the garage. That's my Dads."
Zed's jaw dropped open. "There's a what in the garage?"
"Stop being such a boy!" Eliza laughed. "Your girlfriend owns a mansion, with a huge guest house, sitting on oceanfront property in Hawaii and you're questioning the details of what's parked in the garage."
"It is an impressive garage," Bucky offered with a shrug.
"Okay, Bartholomew. That's enough," Addison warned.
"What? All I'm saying is that the cars are awesome. I wish the Tordjmans and Flannigans had something as cool as this."
Eliza rolled her eyes. "I'm sorry half the buildings on a university campus and a business empire aren't enough. I think your money is showing, Babe."
Bucky shrugged. "Whatevs...Want a tour?" he said standing up and holding his hand out for her.
"Sure!" She stood up and looked back over to Zed and Addison. "Are you guys coming with?"
Addison looked back up to Zed to find him staring pensively out into the water. "You guys enjoy. I think we're going to stay here for a little while."
Eliza shrugged before walking back inside with Bucky.
"Z…."
He stood up and walked a few feet ahead, staring at the ocean.
Addison stood but didn't join him. Leaning against the house for support, she debated whether or not to speak.
"Why didn't you tell me?" he whispered, still not facing her.
"Because it's not something I really talk about. My grandfather was so angry that my parents made me cover my hair that when he passed away he left the house to me, instead of them. I was so young when it happened...I just don't really ever think about it...Are you...mad at me?"
He still hadn't turned around. "I'm not mad. It's just a lot to process." he let out a sigh and ran a hand through his hair. "I'm a zombie. I grew up in Zombietown. Now I have a beautiful girlfriend who I plan to spend the rest of my life with and I just found out she's completely loaded. I want to give you the world. How am I ever going to be able to give you even a fraction of this."
"You know none of it means anything to me if I can't share it with you. You're my future. All this, it's yours too... If you want, we can always sell. My uncle Trevor has been trying to buy me out for years..." She couldn't take her eyes off of him. His athletic build, his shoulder muscles highlighted by the thin cotton of his t-shirt… She gulped down the rest of her bottle of water, needing the respite it provided her suddenly dry mouth. "I need you more than I need a house on the Hawaiian coast. You're my everything. If I have you, then I already have the world."
He turned around and looked her in the eyes. Before she could say anything, he was in motion, rushing forward, his mouth crashing into hers. The kiss was rough and full of need. Addison smiled against his lips, wrapping her arms around his neck.
"You'd give all this up for me?"
"In an instant. I love you."
"I love you, too."
When their tongues met, she backed them through the open doorway, lost in desire. His hands glided over her ribs and down her hips then back up to the sides of her breasts where they lingered.
Her breathing picked up, the anticipation for what's to come, building deep within her. His palms squeezed lightly, pushing her breasts closer together as his hands gripped her tighter, grounding her to the spot and to him.
Addison let her hands roam up his shoulders and the back of his neck, pushing her fingers into his incredibly sexy green hair. "Oh, Zed."
Kissing down her neck, he stopped. "What are you smiling about, Gorgeous?"
"This just feels so good."
A smile flashed across his face before he started to kiss across her jaw. "This?"
"Mmhmm..."
He reached the base of her neck, his warm tongue tracing the curve of her collar bone. "How about this?"
She nodded enough to encourage him to slide his hands down her body as his mouth continued its journey.
"And this?" he asked, teasing with the tip of his tongue flexed flat on her skin.
She didn't even bother with an answer, letting her body's response be answer enough. His hands slid between her legs and ran roughly up and down, twice, leaving her well bothered and craving more.
His words were just a whisper, his breath hot against her ear. "What about…."
"Yes, Zed! Right there, especially right there!" Her voice tinged with need, almost unrecognizable to her own ears.
"Okay, settle down. I was just asking," he teased in a playful tone.
Addison's hands worked their way down to his backside, his muscles flexing under his touch. "Take off your shirt."
His lips stopped on her cheek, his hands pausing on her waist, leaning back away from her. "Ladies first," he whispered with his lopsided smirk firmly in place. His hands grasped the hem of her dress, slowly pulling it up, never losing eye-contact.
It was too slow for how revved up she currently was. She took the dress into her own hands, and lifted it over her head, tossing it onto a nearby chair.
Zed quickly followed, lifting his shirt off and throwing it onto the floor. She ran her fingers over his abs as he kissed her roughly.
Kneeling, he remained eye level with her center, leaning gracefully forward, his nose and mouth landed on the apex of her thighs. Her mouth dropped open at the sight, her knees weakening as he slid his nose against her wet panties and upwards, not stopping until he was between her breasts.
"This won't do at all," he whispered, unfastening her bra.
"Let's move this to the bed." Taking him by the hand, she led him to the large platform bed that sat as the dominant feature in the open space. They stopped at the edge as he stripped off his jeans before they slowly laid down together.
His leg slid between hers. "Your beauty never ceases to amaze me," he whispered, taking one of her breasts in his hand.
Addison pulled him down, kissing him with everything she had.
Taking the not so subtle hint, Zed rolled on top of her, taking the lead. Their kisses were fevered as they moaned in unison pushing the other towards the edge. His hands glided along the side of her body before stopping to gently tickle the back of her knee. He pulled it up, wrapping his arm around her thigh and holding it against his side. The new position making her squirm with desire, needing more.
Her mind focused on his fingers tucking under the sides of her panties as he continued to trail wet kisses down her body, over her hips, removing her panties.
Lifting up abruptly, he stood at the base of the bed, his eyes locked on hers while he removed his black boxer briefs. Her breathing deepened as anticipation started to peak. He lowered himself back down, hovering over her. A small smile spreading across his face, "I love you."
"I love you, too."
He leaned down and kissed her again, pushing into her. Her head lulled back and her eyes automatically closed. She could feel his breath and lips against her neck as a low growl escaped from him. "Addison." His voice was low and raw, bordering on wild.
Her eyes fluttered open to take in the sight of Zed on top of her. His head was buried into her neck and hair as he moved, lost in the love they were making. She moaned softly and wrapped her arms around him, pulling her body closer to his. She spread her knees further apart as he lifted above her, going even deeper as their connection intensified.
Pulling her thigh up, he anchored it with his arm while thrusting faster and harder, their breathing becoming jagged when his fingers grazed along her clit. Playful and deliberate moves making her jolt under his touch, sending her over the edge as she screamed out his name, pulling him right along with her.
They laid there for a few minutes, trying to catch their breath.
"I love you, Addison."
"I love you, too, Zed."
He leisurely placed a kiss on her lips. "No more secrets."
"Never," she answered without hesitation, smiling against his lips.
Zed propped himself up on his elbow. "So if the house is yours, why are us kids in the guest house?"
Addison let out a soft laugh. "This was always my favorite part of the house. The big house just feels so stuffy, and perfect, and...too Seabrook."
He looked around, his chest shaking with a silent laugh. "Well, we're definitely not in Seabrook."
She placed a soft kiss on his chest. "I think I need a shower after all that traveling today." She stood up and walked across the room completely naked and into the en suite, turning on the water. She poked her head back out the door and smiled. "Are you coming in here or not?"
It was still dark outside when Addison awoke. She quietly rolled over and looked at the clock. 2 am. Great, she thought to herself letting out a frustrated sigh.
"So this is what jet-lag feels like..." Zed whispered.
"I didn't mean to wake you," she said quietly nestling back into the crook of his arm.
"You didn't," he yawned. "My stomach did. I'm starving."
Addison quietly giggled. "Well, it is 7 am back home. Want to go make some pre-breakfast, breakfast? Maybe we can fall back asleep after."
"Sounds like a plan." He kissed the top of her head and sat them up before getting out of bed to retrieve his clothes.
Addison watched him dress with interest as a darkness clouded over her eyes. She walked closer as he pulled his boxers on over his hips and then she was on him. Her hands were on him, her lips were on him, and her legs were tangling with his. All of her on all of him.
Zed kissed her back before she abruptly pulled away and took a step back. "Oops," she giggled, "You just looked too tempting, and I just can't seem to get enough of you."
"Food first," he smiled, throwing her a wink.
Right on cue, Addison's stomach rumbled. "Fine...you win." They quietly walked across the dark house into the kitchen. Addison turned on the kitchen light, dimming it low. "There should be eggs and stuff in the fridge. If not, there's usually a few boxes of cereal in the pantry."
Zed opened the refrigerator. "Yup, fully stocked. What are you in the mood for?"
She sat on one of the bar stools by the counter. "Scrambled eggs?"
"You got it."
A few minutes later Zed placed two plates of scrambled eggs down on the breakfast bar, stopping in the pantry to grab the hot sauce before sitting down next to her.
"These smell soooo good," Addison smiled as she leaned over her plate. "Thank you."
"You, my dear, are quite welcome," he whispered leaning over to kiss her cheek before dousing his eggs in hot sauce. Just as he was about to take a bite, he stopped, fork in mid-air as he watched Addison grab the bottle and do the same to her eggs.
"What?"
His eyes glanced to the hot sauce in her hand that she had just liberally added to her eggs.
"Are you really surprised? Every home cooked meal I've had since my mom started the new campaign has been made by either you or Gloria." she shrugged before scooping up a fork full. "Mmmmm."
Zed shook his head and smiled. "Well, at least I can start adding it in the pan."
"Exactly. See...I'm making this easier for you."
"Whatever you say, Gorgeous," he whispered leaning over to kiss her cheek.
They ate their impromptu meal in comfortable silence, simply enjoying their time together. When they were finished eating and had washed and dried their plates Addison looked out the window and smiled.
"Want to go for a swim in the pool?" she asked.
"At this hour?"
"Why not?"
Zed shrugged. "Good point. Let me go grab my trunks."
Addison giggled as she took his hand, pulling him towards the door. "Where's the fun in that?"
Walking to the edge of the pool, she sat down with her feet dangling in the warm water. "It's always warm. I love it!" She took a moment to appreciate the rustling of the palm fronds high above them and the sound of the tide crashing on the beach, before hopping into the water, Zed following right behind her.
She pinned his back against the side of the pool, pressing her chest against his. "I'm so happy we're here."
"Me too, Gorgeous. I can't wait to actually go explore the islands with you."
"Oh, I've got a list of things I want to do with you while we're here."
"I may have some things planned as well," he whispered against her lips, running a wet hand through her hair, before dropping under the water and pushing off the wall. He swam the length of the pool before swimming back to her.
Feeling his way up her body, he reached her mouth and kissed her again. Her hands moved to the base of his neck pulling him even closer. She wrapped her arms and legs around his body as he held the edge of the pool, supporting them both before he pushed forward, pinning her against the wall, reversing their earlier position.
Their kisses became more aggressive as he lifted his body up a few inches to rub his erection against her center, making Addison moan into his mouth. He kissed down her neck as his hand found its way between her legs, gently parting her and sliding his fingers in.
Addison sighed contently and rested her forehead against his as they both tried to catch their breath. Zed dipped down, nuzzling his nose to hers before leaning back and looking at her through lust-filled eyes. He looked like he couldn't hold them open, but he did, just to watch her reaction as his fingers began to move inside her.
Her breath was already coming out in pants. "Zed…." she whispered, "I need you in me now."
Without delay, he jumped out of the water and spun to face her, quickly pulling her out of the pool like a ragdoll. He kissed her quickly then pulled her by the arm back inside. Taking her soaked shirt by the hem, he pulled it over her head and tossed it into the en suite followed by his boxers.
Naked, dripping wet, and standing next to the bed, Addison shivered. The tension in the room was thick, heated, engulfing until she reached out and took his face in both her hands and brought him to her. They kissed with abandon as she lowered herself on to the bed. He followed, mimicking a sexual version of a cat and mouse game. She moved on her bottom to the top of the bed as he stalked her, hovering over her the entire time. Her head bumped the headboard and he smiled.
"What was that you said outside, again?"
She quirked an eyebrow. "You know I want you inside of me," she replied coolly.
He leaned down to kiss her, stopping right before his lips reached hers. "I want to be inside of you too, Gorgeous." Leaning forward, on one hand, he stroked himself once then swiped up her entrance with his fingertips. Addison moved down a bit to a more comfortable position, looking up and biting her lip in anticipation. He lowered himself, his lips meeting hers as he pushed forward.
They both moaned at the sensation, feeling whole once again. Addison relaxed into the bed, wrapping her legs around his waist, still holding her mouth to his.
"More," she begged, needing him so much. Her orgasm gathered strength as he picked up speed, his thrusts becoming harder and rougher.
"Addison," he growled as he felt her tighten around him, he sped up and peaked, calling out her name once more.
Zed weakened on top of her, lightly digging his fingertips into her wet, matted hair as he covered her with kisses. Their bodies becoming one as they laid there together all panting breaths and tired sighs.
"I can't get enough of you either," he whispered before yawning and rolling off of her, pulling her into his arms. "I love you."
"I love you, too, Zed. Sweet dreams."
They fell back asleep wrapped in each other's arms, dreaming of Hibiscus flowers and trade winds.
When they finally woke up again, the sun was shining brightly into the room and the sounds of the ocean crashing against the shore surrounded them.
"I could get used to waking up to this," Zed whispered, kissing her softly.
"It is pretty amazing here."
"I wasn't talking about the location."
Addison bit her lip and smiled. "If I wasn't starving, we wouldn't be leaving this room."
"I'm sure your Aunt Kitty and Uncle Trevor might object to that plan."
"Oh, please," she giggled, "I'd be surprised if we saw them more than once. Especially after my parents get here. They'll all be at the Ritz all week. The moms at the spa and the dads on the fairway."
"Your kidding."
"Nope. Why do you think I'm not worried about us sharing a room?"
Zed smiled down and kissed her again, just as her stomach growled loudly. He gently laughed, burying his nose against her neck. "Seems like you worked up quite the appetite last night."
"That, mister, would be entirely your fault," she giggled as she tickled his sides, making him laugh and swat her hands away.
"Well then let's get you fed. I'm sure B & E wouldn't mind food as well," he said, sitting them both up. "Let's go!"
They walked out into the main room and called out, getting no answer.
"Hey, Z!" Addison said, grabbing the sheet of paper off the counter. "They left a note." She sat on the barstool and opened it up. "Went to grab brunch with the parents. Meet us at the Ritz, we've got plans."
Zed walked up behind her and wrapped his arms around her shoulders, resting his chin on the top of her head. "I guess we have plans," he laughed.
"Seems that way."
"Any idea how long it takes to get an Uber around here?"
Addison softly laughed. "We don't need an Uber."
"Are they coming back to get us?"
"Probably not...Let's get dressed. I have a surprise for you."
Zed hugged her tighter. "You know how I feel about surprises."
She looked up and kissed his pouting lips. "Fair enough, but there is something I want to show you."
"Well then let's get dressed, Gorgeous."
It was Addison's turn to pout. "Do we have to?"
"Yes," he said kissing her softly.
She let out an exaggerated sigh. "Fine."
Addison grabbed Zed's hand and led him down the long drive towards the back of the house. "So, do you remember when Bucky suddenly had a case of word vomit last night and started talking about the house?"
"Kind of hard to forget that one," Zed smiled, reaching up to grab a plumeria flower from one of the trees lining the path. He stopped walking and gently pulled her into him, placing the pink flower behind her ear. "Beautiful," he whispered, running a hand down her face.
Addison smiled shyly up at him through her lashes. "Are you always going to find new ways for me to fall in love with you?"
"I hope so," he smiled, brushing a kiss across her lips. "Now what were you saying about Bucky and the house?"
She shook her head for clarity. "Oh, right...well, um...he may have mentioned something about the garage."
"And a Ferrari."
"And the Ferrari," she smiled. "Well..." she opened the keypad on the side of the garage door and punched in an access code.
Zed's eyes grew large as the door opened. "Oh. My. God." He looked back to Addison quickly. "There's more than just a Ferrari in here."
"My Grandfather restored vintage cars," she offered with a shrug, walking in and flipping on the lights. "And it looks like they took the Cab."
"Your grandfather restored a taxi cab? I'm sorry, I can't imagine your aunt and uncle passing up any of these cars to take a cab."
She let out a soft giggle. "No, not a taxi cab. They took the blue Mercedes Cabriolet. It's a 1958."
"Wow…." Zed walked further in, his hand itching to run it across one of the gorgeous vintage cars. "May I?" he asked turning around to look at her.
"What did I tell you last night," she smiled as she walked up to him, running her hands through the back of his hair. "What's mine is yours... Except for Sunny."
"Sunny?"
Addison smiled wide and directed his attention to the far corner of the garage.
"The bug?"
"She's not just a bug!" she pulled him over to the bright yellow car. "She's a 1959 Volkswagen convertible beetle with a 4 cylinder 1192 engine!"
"And suddenly your knowledge of cars makes so much sense."
"Gramps got her for me when I was eight. We started working on her that summer. But..." she said as she ran her hand across the rounded fender. "We never got to finish."
Zed wrapped his arms around her, placing a soft kiss on the top of her head.
"Someday," she sighed.
"Well, somedays happen to be our specialty."
"Yes they are," she whispered turning around in his arms and placing a kiss on his chest. "So...we can't drive Sunny, and Uncle Trevor already took the Cab...That leaves us with... the peacock green, 1960 Maserati 3500 GT Spider, or the black, 1956 Jaguar XK 140 Roadster."
Zed couldn't help the smile that spread across his face. "I don't think I'd ever be able to make that choice...Your cars, you pick."
"First off," she smiled up at him, "Stop saying they're mine."
He leaned over and kissed her. "Then what should I refer to them as?"
"The cars? I don't know."
"Fair enough, Gorgeous. Which one of THE cars do you want to take?"
She looked around for a moment. "Well, my Mom and Aunt Kitty usually take the Jag up to the spa, since it's the only other 2 seater next to my Dad's 62 Ferrari...It could be fun to take it out today."
Zed threw his head back and laughed. "Gorgeous, any of these cars are going to be fun."
"The Jag it is!"
Zed whistled low as they walked to onto deck of the Ritz where the restaurant was located. "Would you look at that view! I've never seen water that color turquoise."
"Just in time!" Kitty announced standing up to great them. "We were just about to order."
"I know that look!" Bucky said knowingly as Zed and Addison joined them at their table. "Which one did you drive?"
Zed's smile grew even larger. "The Jag...it was amazing."
"I told you the garage was awesome!"
"Okay, can we stop discussing the cars and house now? You know it makes me uncomfortable," she asked her cousin as she snatched the menu from his hand.
"Hey, I was still looking at that."
"You're getting the avocado toast, and a cappuccino, why do you even bother looking at brunch menus anymore?"
"But why do you need it? You're going to order the same exact thing, too."
"Now children, really?" Kitty interjected. "I thought you two had grown out of the bickering."
"She started it," Bucky said at the same time that Addison said, "He started it."
Zed and Eliza both laughed quietly while Kitty rolled her eyes.
"And Addison, dear, if it really makes you that uncomfortable, my offer still stands," Trevor said before taking a sip of his tropical drink.
"And let Bucky decide who gets which room? No thank you, Uncle Trevor."
"Someone's moody again," Bucky mumbled under his breath. "I told you the extra sleep wouldn't help."
"I'm not moody, I'm just hungry," she grumbled, opening up the menu and ignoring him.
"That was amazing," Eliza said as the four teens walked hand in hand down the beach in front of the resort after brunch.
"And that was just the first part of our day," Bucky, replied. "We're going to take surfing lessons!"
"Eek! I've always wanted to try it!" Addison said excitedly.
"Is it safe? Isn't there reef or coral down there that can hurt us if we fall?" Eliza asked, tapping her fingers anxiously against her cup.
"Don't fall off and you'll be fine," Zed laughed.
"Ha, ha."
"Zed's right. You'll be fine," Bucky smiled, kissing the top of her head. "Come on! The surf shack is right ahead!"
The next thirty minutes passed quickly as they practiced pop-ups on large foam boards set on top of the sand. The instructor analyzing their actions and making the appropriate corrections as need. "You guys look good. I think you're ready!" He announced, clapping his hands together.
They all grabbed the provided boards and waded into the waist-deep water, jumping as the waves hit against them. The instructor called out for them to hop on their boards.
"I feel like some sort of fat seal," Addison grumbled as she rolled onto to the board.
"Cutest seal I've ever seen," Zed winked at her from atop his own.
The surf instructor laughed, assuring them all that getting on was the hardest part. They paddled out a good distance from the beach before the instructor suggested that they try and catch one from where they were.
Bucky volunteered to go first, catching an easy wave and riding it in. Eliza, Addison, and Zed, all broke out into loud applause, cheering him on.
Eliza was up next. She let the first one pass her, nervously.
"You've got this, E!" Zed called over to her.
She took a deep breath and caught the next one, screaming out victoriously as she rode it into the shore.
Addison looked over to Zed. "I'm actually about to surf!" she looked behind her and started paddling, lifting her legs up paddling faster with her hands before popping up on her board.
"WOOOO! That's my girl!" Zed called out as he watched her reach the shore, jump off her board and do a backflip in celebration.
"That was so awesome!" Addison exclaimed jumping up and hugging Eliza and Bucky.
"Zed's up!" Eliza pointed out.
Addison turned back towards the ocean and raised her hands up to her mouth, "GO ZED!" He started paddling ahead of the next wave. Addison watched as his muscles moved together, glistening in the sunlight, he jumped up easily catching the wave perfectly.
"You've got a little drool there, Addie…." Eliza laughed.
Addison absentmindedly wiped at her mouth, never taking her eyes off of her very own Hawaiian surf god.
"It's official! I love surfing!" Zed smiled as he reached the shore, rushing over to her and spinning her around in a circle.
"And I love you!" she giggled pulling him in for a kiss.
"Are you two going to stand around and kiss or are you coming back in?!" Bucky shouted as he and Eliza raced past them to catch another round of waves.
"We definitely need to get boards for the house!" Addison smiled, grabbing Zed's hand and her board as they ran back into the water.
AUTHOR'S NOTE: I promise more time in the sunshine and waves next week! I hope you are all enjoying their trip so far!
