Chapter 18 Get on your knees
Saraphina
Somehow, I was stuck at another party. I had learned my lesson about drinking or talking to Ryan's friends. So I stayed by myself, in a quiet corner of the boat, away from everyone else.
Looking at the people Ryan had invited, I saw there were many more girls than guys. And all the girls here looked like they could be models. I knew this was not by chance. Ryan planned it this way on purpose. And now, I could not find Ryan anywhere, so he was probably hidden away with some girl…
And why did that thought bother me so much?
"Not enjoying the party?" said a dark-haired guy standing a few steps away from me.
"No, I am not really someone who likes parties," I said.
"Yeah, me either… I only came because I heard the girl I like was going to be here."
"Did you find her?"
"Yeah, but she was talking to some other guy, so…" he said with a sigh.
This guy seemed different from Ryan's other friends. He was thinner, not all muscled up like the surfers. I did not get a bad feeling from him.
"Are you a friend of Ryan's? Or RJ?" I asked.
"Ah, no. Not really," he said. "I do not know him at all."
"Good," I replied. "In that case, we can be friends. I am Saraphina," I said, holding my hand out to him.
"Gabriel, but you can call me Gabe," he said, shaking my hand.
"So what happened with the girl? Are you just going to stand here all night and let some random guy talk to her?"
"I do not think I have a chance anyway. She does not even know I am alive," he said with a sad smile, looking like a lost puppy.
I honestly felt bad for him. Damn it, I always want to help the person who is losing.
"Tell me about her," I said.
"Well, her name is Maddie. I have been in love with her since our first year of high school. We just graduated and I thought I should tell her how I feel before I leave for college, you know? I thought, what the hell, I have nothing to lose. But now I am here, and I do not know what to do," he explained.
"Do it!" I said. "Life is short. Be brave and just do it! Four years is a long time to hide your feelings. And hey, you never know, maybe she will like you back?"
"Yeah? You think she would want a guy like me?"
"Of course, you have a look like that singer, Shawn Mendes," I told him. It was true, he did look a little like him. That made him smile, so I held my hand out to him again and said, "Come on, let us go find her."
Gabe and I looked all over for this Maddie girl, but we could not find her. This yacht was bigger than I thought. There were a few bedrooms downstairs, so we decided to check there.
"What does Maddie look like?" I asked, looking into the rooms as we passed them.
"Uh, she has short blonde hair, about five foot three, with beautiful blue eyes…"
"Gabe, is that her?" I stopped moving. Through the window of one of the bedrooms, we saw a short-haired blonde girl, half-dressed, sitting on top of some guy.
Gabe did not say a word. When I looked at his horrified face, I knew it was Maddie.
I turned back to the window, and that was when I saw the guy she was with. And as soon as I saw him, I felt like I had been kicked in the stomach.
Ryan
This girl Maddie and I got right to it. I took her to one of the bedrooms downstairs, and I could tell she was very eager. I sat on the edge of the bed and held my hand out to her.
"Come here," I said, and she took my hand.
I pulled her in for a kiss as she sat on my lap. Her bare thighs rubbed against me. Oh man, I love short skirts. I slid my hands under her shirt and, in one quick move, tossed it to the floor. We kept kissing and I started touching her breasts. She let out a soft sound and tipped her head back. With one hand, I undid her bra, and she let it fall away.
With her breasts right in front of me, I moved my face between them. She pushed herself closer to me, still making those soft sounds. I kissed and sucked on her right nipple until it was hard.
From the way she was moving on my lap, I could feel that she was getting very wet. So I slipped my finger over her thin underwear and started rubbing her. And yes, she was completely soaked.
"Oh, RJ!" she moaned, her voice loud.
I pushed one finger inside her and felt her muscles clench around me. Fuck yes. That is it. I slid a second finger in and she groaned with pleasure.
"Oh please, please," she started to beg, moving her hips against my hand.
But suddenly, right then, I saw someone staring at us from the window. It was Saraphina, standing next to some guy. What was she doing here? Shit, she saw me. But so what? Why should I care if she saw me?
"RJ, why did you stop?" Maddie said, breathing hard.
"Wait a second," I said as I moved away from her and laid her on the bed. I walked to the window and we looked right at each other, Saraphina and I. Without saying one word, I closed the blinds on her, shutting her out completely.
I took a deep breath and turned back to the bed. Maddie's eyes were full of wanting as her hand moved between her own legs. She was just too damn easy.
"Get on your knees," I told her, my voice hard.
