As Hawk walked into the pool area, Sky was already there. She had chosen a sunbed with no shade and lay there reading a thick fantasy novel, looking relaxed and happy and wearing an impossibly small, and girly pink bikini. It wasn't really a bathing suit at all, as much as a couple of tiny triangles of fabric held together with strings.

It was the most amazing thing Hawk had seen in his whole fucking life - or maybe it had just been too long since he'd seen her wearing so little - but whatever the reason, his throat went tight at the sight. He had to stop and swallow a couple of times before he was able to close the distance between them.

"Hi, babe," Sky said, raising her sunglasses and revealing the amusement in her green eyes as she no doubt noticed the look on his face, the way his eyes devoured her.

"You look… fucking amazing."

"You like this bikini?" She showed it off to him with a smirk. "It's a new one, I thought it was pretty."

"I love it, you look great."

Suddenly Hawk felt hot all over, and it wasn't just the merciless sun that made him burn like this. Looking at Sky with that tiny thing on her, was a form of torture. How he was going to survive all afternoon with her at the pool when she was looking like that, was beyond him.

"Need help with sunscreen?" She asked and sat up. "Better cover that tattoo real good. We don't want the hawk fading, right?"

He gave her a sharp nod - it was still a bit hard to form sentences when she was practically naked in front of him and it had been three fucking weeks since they'd had sex the last time. It was the longest time he'd gone without sex since they started having it, and he found it suited him ill. Sure, he still had his hand - and oh boy had he jerked off lately - but it was not the same thing. No matter his vivid fantasies, they didn't keep him satisfied the way having sex with Sky did. And then there was their stupid break… and her wish to take it slow for a while. He had agreed, of course - what else was there to do when a girl asks that? But the truth was, that he wanted her more now than he had wanted her before - and the fact that they still hadn't done it after the break made him fearful and nervous, as if they hadn't gotten back together at all.

He wanted her. He wanted to mend things between them. He wanted to make her his again so that anything that had been broken would be healed.

And why am I thinking about this now? Jeez, it's not like we're gonna have sex here at the pool.

He sat on a sunbed next to hers, turning his back on her, and passed her the bottle of extra strong sunscreen he used on the tattoo. Soon he felt Sky's small hands on his shoulders, beginning to spread the sunscreen on his skin.

Her touch was warm and firm. She spread the product with gentle, circular motions to his shoulders and downward, over the hawk tattoo on his upper back, her fingers tracing the sharp edges of his shoulder blades, caressing the lean muscle under his smooth skin.

Hawk couldn't help the quickening of his pulse under her touch. Yeah, he knew things wouldn't lead to anything here, but still - having her hands on his skin like this–

It felt amazing.

They had made out a couple of times in Rome, but it hadn't been like this, they had been fully clothed and in public places. But now they were in Florence, where Sky's dad had rented a villa that belonged to some friend of his, and the villa had a private pool. It was just him and Sky at the pool, as their parents were apparently having drinks in the garden nearby.

Sky's hands moved to his lower back, slowly spreading sunscreen all the way to the waistband of his swimming shorts, and by the time she was done, he was ready to spontaneously combust.

"Your back is done," Sky said and withdrew her hands. "You already did your arms and chest?"

"Yeah, they're okay," he rasped, his voice sounding low and throaty as the words left his lips.

"Good," Sky replied. "I need you to do me now."

Her choice of words made Hawk almost choke.

"Be careful what you wish for," he replied, turning to face her. "Cause I'm fucking tempted to do just that."

"Pervert," Sky laughed, but her eyes gleamed. "I meant sunscreen."

"I know," he sighed and picked up Sky's bottle of sunscreen - something that smelled like coconuts and promised a perfect tan. "Where do you need it?"

A slow grin appeared on her beautiful lips. "Everywhere."

Jesus Christ he was going to burn to ashes before this afternoon was over. He couldn't even answer the flirt, he was all too aware of the arousal that was stirring in his veins, the semi-hardness that already threatened to make itself visible in his swim shorts. It took all his concentration to keep it under control.

"Fine," he replied, his voice a bit strained. "I'll do your back first. Just… just lie down."

She lay down on the sunbed on her belly, stretching her slender arms, and gave him one of those wicked grins that told him she knew exactly what kind of an effect this was having on him.

Hawk made an inward groan as he opened the sunscreen, sat down on the edge of her sunbed, and started massaging the product on her skin.

Everything around there was quiet - it was the hottest hour of the day, the early afternoon and the sun was high up in the sky. The constant, loud buzzing song of cicadas surrounded them, an occasional bird sang in the nearby trees and the air was still, no trace of wind eased the standing heat. As Hawk poured sunscreen on his palm, he heard the low, vivid voice of Sky's dad, explaining something excitedly, and the short, smooth replies of his mother - but they were some distance away, Hawk couldn't make out the words and their voices melted into the heat and the sounds of the cicadas, losing their meaning.

Sky let out a satisfied sigh, when Hawk slid his hands over her shoulders, over the Phoenix and the scar tissue, making sure it was fully covered. He let his hands slide down her back slowly, feeling the curve of her tiny waist, his thumbs grazing her spine. He added some product - it smelled like summer and coconuts, the scent was mixed with the heavy flower scent of the garden, filling Hawk's nostrils with every inhale. Sky's tanned skin glimmered under his touch. His palms slid over the smooth skin of her hips, to the back of her thighs.

"You missed a spot," Sky said softly, and turned to look at him teasingly over her shoulder.

Hawk swallowed, but it did nothing to ease the tightness of his throat. "I know."

He poured some more sunscreen on his palms and brought them back on her skin - on her beautifully rounded, perfect ass that was barely covered by the tiny string bikini she was wearing.

He couldn't help a dry, throaty, sound that left his throat as his fingers slid over those heavenly curves, couldn't help grabbing them a bit harder than would've been necessary.

Feeling his grip on her, Sky made a soft gasp, her hips twitched. It seemed that she wasn't as unaffected by this game as she tried to make him believe.

Hawk glanced towards the garden. There were some rose bushes between the pool area and the terrace where their parents were enjoying some Spritz under a parasol. He could still hear their voices but couldn't see them, which probably meant they couldn't see him either.

Slowly he slid his hands under the strings of Sky's bikini bottom, his thumbs caressing every inch of the smooth skin of her ass - and her hips bucked up again, another soft moan left her lips. He couldn't see the look on her face, as she was lying face down on the bed, but the throaty sound of that silent moan told him enough.

How far would he dare to go here?

Maybe a little bit further.

He moved his hand lower, between her legs, and brushed her crotch gently through the fabric of her bikini, earning another soft gasp from her. Shit - there was a wet spot on the fabric between her legs, he felt it clearly and his body reacted immediately. The semi-hardness in his swim shorts turned into a full-on erection so fast it almost hurt.

"Hawk—" She sighed, as he again poured some more sunscreen into his hands, and continued downward, massaging the product gently to the back of her thighs, to her calves.

"Turn around," he rasped and it sounded like a command. She obeyed swiftly - rolling onto her back, and Hawk's hands were on her before she had time to say a thing. She was wearing her sunglasses so he couldn't see the look in her eyes, but the fast falling and rising of her chest told him enough. The red spots burning on her cheekbones weren't because of the sun, he knew - no, she was burning for him just like he was burning for her.

As he began to spread the sunscreen on her arms, her glance wandered from his face to his shorts, to the tent that was now clearly visible in the front, and her lips turned into a curved smile.

"See something you like?" He rasped, his hands moving to her chest.

"Maybe," She teased and bit her lower lip in a way that always drove him fucking nuts.

The sunscreen melted on her hot skin as he began to spread it on her collarbones, on her chest. His breathing turned shallow, fast. When he ran his palm down between her breasts, he could clearly see how her nipples hardened under the shock pink fabric of that ridiculously tiny bikini. Sliding his hands back up, he slowly eased his fingers under the straps of the bikini top, and when he brought his hands back down again, his hands slid under the top with ease and cupped her small, soft breasts. Her rock-hard nipples grazed his palms, sending a jolt of raw need through Hawk's whole body.

"Eli—" Sky breathed, her body shivering slightly under his touch.

"I know—" his voice was throaty. He had to force himself to pull his hands away because all he wanted to do was to rip that bikini off her and bury his face on her chest and suck on those gorgeous nipples until they'd both fucking come.

Not here, fuck, I have to stop this—

He moved his hands to her belly, continued downward on her beautiful body. She was skinnier than before, he noticed now, running his hands over her ribs - there had been more softness here before, he was sure of it, and sudden worry twitched his heart.

Sky had said she'd lost her appetite during their break, and now that he thought about it, she hadn't been eating that much even now that they were back together. His hands stopped on her skin, thumbs brushing her ribcage - he wanted to say something about it, but wasn't quite sure how to put it. Commenting on someone's weight… could be tricky. He didn't want to make her upset or make her think he didn't like the way she looked. Besides - everything was fine now, right? They were back together, her appetite would return.

Concentrating on the task at hand, Hawk covered Sky's slightly sunken belly with sunscreen, fingers trailing the waist of her bikini bottom, then moved down to her hips, and soon any worry he'd felt was forgotten as the heat overrode his conscious mind. Sky was breathing fast and shallow when he ran his hands softly over her muscled legs, and as he moved to her inner thighs, a soft moan escaped her parted lips.

So, she had missed this too, had missed feeling his hands on her skin, the pleasure he could give her.

Her body reacted to the silent command of his touch and she opened her legs wider. His hands were gliding up and down over that smooth skin - but all he could look at was the tiny triangle of fabric that covered her sex, and the growing moist spot on it. Fuck - he wanted nothing more than to undress that pitiful excuse of a bathing suit, and he wanted to slide his fingers between her legs and feel the wetness he knew was pooling there. Wetness for him. A proof that she fucking wanted him, that she loved him. That their stupid break was really over. Just the thought of pushing his digits into her sweet, slick heat made his erection throb almost painfully in his shorts, and he couldn't help the low groans that were now falling off his lips.

His fingers were digging into the soft skin of her inner thighs as he massaged the sunscreen on them, his thumbs almost brushing that enthralling place between her legs - and with every circle of his hands on her skin, she melted more and more, until she was shivering on the sunbed and all but begging for his touch.

Hawk glanced over his shoulder, his heart kicking his ribcage in a fast, heavy beat. They were still alone, and now even the voices of their parents had gone quiet. Good. They had probably gone inside, to get drinks or to talk some more or whatever the adults did, he didn't give a shit about it. All that mattered was that finally, they were alone.

He tossed the bottle of sunscreen on the grass and crawled on top of Sky, making her gasp in surprise.

"Eli, what—?"

He brought a hand up and gently removed her sunglasses to be able to meet her eyes. She looked up at him with those impossibly green eyes, her pupils dilated, her face flushed and Hawk had never seen anything as beautiful.

"Don't worry—" he breathed. "We're alone. They went inside."

"Not for long."

"I know," he replied but that was all the talking he could do. Everything in him was burning, burning for her like he wasn't a boy but a flaming torch. He was hovering over her, his weight on his forearms, their bodies only inches apart and he could almost feel her heavenly curves, could feel the heat radiating from her body. The aching pressure in his dick was driving him crazy.

Sky let out a sound that was a sigh or a moan when Hawk crashed his hungry mouth on hers. Her lips opened for him, their tongues met. The kiss was every bit as heated as the blazing sun over them - in a matter of minutes, Hawk felt like his blood was boiling in his veins.

Unable to keep any distance between them, he lowered his weight on her, gluing their bodies together with sweat and sunscreen. Her burning lips were every bit as desperate as his, their tongues curled together. Her mouth tasted like salt and need as he kissed her deep, his tongue reaching the roof of her mouth.

The touch of her fingertips on his shoulders was light as a feather but burning coals.

"We can't—" She breathed heavily, breaking the kiss. "We have to stop!"

"Don't you think I know that—," he pressed his forehead on hers, her hot breathing fanned his lips and his dick was so hard, it was pressed tight against her thigh and he couldn't stop the soft rocking of his hips, because it felt so fucking good—

"Eli—" She moaned his name, and her lips were back on his. Her hands on his neck pulled him closer and her tongue lapped over his scar, again and again, making him groan into her mouth. He brought a hand down to her thigh and grabbed it, slid his fingers down to her ass that fucking called to him. It was Heaven on Earth under his touch, the smooth skin, the sweet, feminine curve - his fingers dug hard into her skin and She moaned into his mouth.

He broke the kiss, panting. "I fucking want you, Sky—"

"I want you too—"

She was squirming and writhing under him, begging for more friction and he moved between her thighs, his clothed erection pressing hard on the spot between her legs. The scent of her sweat and sunscreen filled Hawk's senses, the world disappeared around them. All that was left was this agonizing need in his veins, the burning that would surely kill him if he didn't get inside of her now—

Their lips crashed together again and parted only for him to breathe out: "Shit—! Can we go somewhere—?"

"N— no," She moaned. "Too risky— will get caught."

"Sky, I fucking need you."

He knew there were empty rooms in this villa - and their own bedrooms had locks on the doors too. But they would have to sneak inside somehow without being noticed, and be fucking quick about whatever they were about to do because their parents would no doubt notice they weren't at the pool anymore—

Except that they were still by the pool. And making out here like this was stupid and it was risky as Hell and they really had to stop, but—

But it was so fucking hot between their bodies, they were both slick with sweat and sunscreen, the sensation of her thigh on the side of his hip, his fingers digging into the softness of her ass was just too fucking good. Her mouth was back on his, her shivering arms were around his neck and he was between her legs and not a single cell in his body wanted to stop. Groaning, he kissed her heavily and ground his hips against her crotch. He was so hard, his erection throbbing and aching and Oh God it was such a long time since he'd had her and he knew he could come just like this, just by rubbing their bodies together—

"Eli Moskowitz—" came a very displeased voice, bringing Hawk crashing down back to the surface of the Earth.

"Shit—" he gasped, and bolted off Sky so fast that he lost his balance, fell backward, and landed on the grass between the sunbeds on his ass. Desperately he tumbled to find his towel and with shaking hands pulled it on his lap to hide the tent in his shorts.

Nicholas took one look at his burning cheeks, his heaving chest, his hands that were gripping the towel that covered his front, and arched a very high brow.

"I suggest you jump into the pool right now, Eli," he said. "Or I'll throw you in there."

"Dad—" Sky protested, but Nicholas' death glare silenced her mid-sentence.

"You too, Sky," he said pointedly. "The water is cold."

Hawk had never been this embarrassed in his fucking life. His cheeks were burning - he wished the ground would open up and swallow him, but no such luck. The only good thing was that the shock was quickly making his arousal disappear.

Sky made a face and stood up, stretched her slender limbs, and dove into the pool head first, her body strong and agile, her every move in perfect control. Clearing his throat, Hawk ditched the towel and jumped into the cold water after her.
