After sleeping for about 45 minutes Mira heard the phone ring in the kitchen. She looked at Taylor who was still sound asleep, took her robe from the chair and quietly got out of bed. She followed the short trail of scattered swimsuits into the kitchen and picked up the phone.
"Hello?" she answered.
"Mira, hi. It’s Diana," Taylor’s mom greeted.
"Hi," Mira smiled. "How are you?"
"Fine. I was just calling to make sure you guys were okay and didn’t get lost at sea or anything."
"We’re doing fine," Mira laughed. "We went on the boat today. It was so nice."
"Well that’s good. I hope you’re all having fun."
"Yeah well you’re gonna kill Taylor," Mira began.
"Uh oh, what’d he do?"
"He got so sunburned today. I mean, he’s completely red and like, can’t move."
"Oh no," Diana sighed. "He never remembers to wear sunscreen. Can I talk to him?"
"He’s actually sound asleep."
"Aww."
"He came inside and practically passed out. He’s exhausted."
"Poor thing. Well he’ll live. And I’m sorry you have to listen to him whine," Diana said.
"Oh it’s okay," Mira smiled. "I’m taking good care of him."
"Alright. Well if you guys need to, you can give us a call. But if not - we’ll see you tomorrow."
"Yep. See you soon."
"Bye."
"Bye."
Mira walked over to the couch in the living room and picked up her book from the coffee table. After another hour, Taylor was still asleep. Mira peeked in the bedroom one more time and he was still on his stomach with his face turned to the side and his mouth lazily hanging open. Mira smiled and went back into the kitchen. She opened the fridge and decided to start making something for dinner. She pulled out a couple chicken breasts and the bottle of barbeque sauce.
As she was checking on the rice, she heard an exaggerated groan from the bedroom.
"Mirrraaaahhh," he called out.
She laughed and put the lid back on the pot. She went back into the bedroom and saw Taylor laying in the same position with his face in the pillow.
"You’re alive," she said.
"Barely," he moaned.
"Come on," she walked over to him. "I’m making dinner. You can eat, right?"
"Mm hmm. I need food," he grumbled.
"Well let’s go in the kitchen. It’s almost ready." She gently ran her hand down his sunburned back.
"I’m naked," he told her.
"Here," she went over to his bag and pulled out a pair of loose drawstring pants that had little monkeys playing bongo drums on them. "Put these on." She laid them on the bed and went back to the kitchen.
He came in a few minutes later walking slowly towards a barstool. Mira was brushing barbeque sauce over the chicken in the pan. "Smells good," he sleepily told her.
"Thanks."
"You need any help?"
Mira smiled. "No Taylor. You just stay there."
"You’re like the best girlfriend," Taylor said after swallowing a bite of chicken.
"Aww. Thanks, baby. You’re pretty good at the boyfriend thing yourself."
"I’m working on it," he smiled.
"You," she laughed, "look like a tomato."
He laughed. "Okay, like I’m not in enough pain."
"I’m sorry," she smiled. "Do you think you’ll be able to handle the hot tub?"
"Oh that sounds perfect right about now.
"Oh, almost forgot," Mira said heading back into the house. Taylor untied the drawstring and slid his pants off before submerging himself into the jacuzzi. Mira came back out with a bottle of wine and two glasses. "Well look at you, naked boy," she smiled.
Taylor stretched his arms across the edge of the hot tub and leaned his head back. "This feels so good, you better get in," he said.
Mira undid the knot on her robe and let it slide off her shoulders onto the ground.
"Ow," Taylor howled at the sight of her naked body.
"Shut up," she laughed stepping into the bubbling water.
"You’re so hot," he smiled as she came closer to him.
"I know. See what you missed out on for three years?" She asked pouring two glasses of wine.
"Mm," he pressed his lips together watching her pour the wine, her dark wet hair clinging to her tan bare back. "I was a very stupid 16, 17, and 18 year old," he told her.
"So were you ever attracted to me last semester?" She asked handing him a glass. "When we were just friends?"
"Of course I was," he told her after swallowing a sip of wine.
"I mean, sexually."
"Hmm. I think I wouldn’t let myself be. I mean, I thought you were like the coolest person and I loved hanging out with you, but the second I’d think of you, ya know, naked - I’d make myself change my mind."
"You thought of me naked?" she smiled leaning closer to him.
He let out a small laugh and turned to face her leaning his head on his hand propped up by his elbow. "Maybe."
"When?"
"Like our entire Spring Break when we were at the beach."
"Ah," Mira raised her eyebrows. "So what explains all those girls you’d be dancing with when we went out?"
"That was just my cover. Besides, who would I be dancing with by the end of the night?" He asked. "More please," he held out his glass.
"Yeah, well," she poured him another drink. "I never told you about the dreams I had about you."
"Oh really?" He raised his eyebrows. "Now what exactly happened in those dreams?" He asked with an amused grin.
"Well," she leaned in and placed a kiss on his shoulder and slowly moved her lips up the side of his neck. "I always woke up before we got completely naked."
"Aww, I’m sorry," he said quietly.
She smiled and situated herself on his lap facing him so that her knees were on either side of him. "Well we’re completely naked now," she said her face mere centimeters from his.
"Hmm, whatever will we do?" He asked pulling her closer around her waist so she felt his hard on pressing against her stomach.
She leaned up to kiss his lips and when she came down, he slid inside of her. "Mm," she let out a tiny moan letting his tongue mingle with hers. He slid his hands down her hips pulling her even closer as she slowly began to ride him. Her hands slid up his slippery chest and took hold of his shoulders.
"God, Mira," Taylor closed his eyes and leaned his head back on the concrete.
She let out a small, satisfied laugh and leaned in to trace the tip of her tongue up his neck stopping to briefly suck on his protruding Adam’s apple. She began rocking harder back and forth causing more of his length to enter her. His chest heaved with deep breaths beneath her as she rotated her hips over his.
"Mmm," she moaned as he lifted his head and pressed his lips against his. When his tongue slid across hers his hands trailed up her stomach. "Mm..God, Taylor," she breathed between kisses.
"Mmh..fuck," he called out trying to slow his breathing down. The heat rising from the jacuzzi caused beads of sweat to form above his eyebrows. "I..." he breathed before she grabbed his lips with hers again. "God, I love you so much."
"Mm, Taylor," she said as he kissed her. "I love you too." That’s all it took for Taylor cum as he leaned his head into her shoulder. "Ahh...yeah..."
"God, yeah," Taylor breathed out finally releasing his warmth into her.
She collapsed onto him leaning her forehead against his. "Wow," she breathed.
"Wow," he smiled.
She slid off of him and dunked under the water. Taylor reached over and gulped down some more of his wine
"You’re amazing," he told her as she came back up.
"Well so are you," she smiled before placing a kiss on his lips." So how’s your sunburn feel?"
"What sunburn?"
Mira laughed and finished off her glass. "So Taylor," she began as she traced her fingertip down his stomach.
"So Mira," he smiled.
"Where’s the strangest place you’ve ever had sex?"
Taylor laughed. "Let’s see," he looked up. "Probably in a jacuzzi."
"Really now?" She raised her eyebrows. "How many times have you had a girl in a hot tub?"
"Just once - with you."
"Wow. I’m honored. I would’ve thought you and Julie did some crazy things."
"Hardly," he laughed. "I must say, I’m not all that experienced."
"You’ve been with two other women, right?... If you don’t mind me asking."
"Right," he nodded.
"Well I’ve only been with two other guys."
"So we’re even. But okay, at the risk of sounding like an ass, let’s discuss past relationships."
"Alright, let’s break them down," she smiled resting her elbow on the concrete.
"Okay, first there was this nut named Mira," Taylor began.
Mira giggled. "Uh huh. What was her deal."
"Well she was my first kiss," he said wrapping his arms around her waist.
"Aww," she smiled.
"And we dated for about a year and then I broke up with her cause I’m stupid."
"Yes," she nodded.
"And then there was Julie."
"Julie, Julie, Julie. When Taylor was all of 17 he lost his virginity to a girl named Julie," she said.
"Yep. And it was... alright. Except when she cried."
"Aww, she cried?" Mira raised her eyebrows.
"Yeah, that sucked."
"So she didn’t wanna do it in the hot tub?" Mira asked.
"She didn’t wanna do much of it at all," he laughed.
"And then there was crazy Natasha," Mira said.
"Oh God. She was a winner. So what about you and Josh?"
"Hmm, well we had sex all of like, 3 times. And then he cheated on me. And then there was Brian, and then he cheated on me," Mira explained.
"Mira," he leaned in and kissed her forehead. "It’s you and me now, kid. And I ain’t cheatin’ on ya."
"Well I hope not. Or I’m giving up and becoming a lesbian."
"No, no, no," he wrapped his arm around her shoulder. "You are mine, and there’s no getting out of it."
"Aw man," she smiled up at him. Just then a crash of thunder rumbled causing both of them to jump. "Oh my God. Where did that come from?"
"I don’t know," Taylor said looking up. "But I guess it’s gonna rain."
"Hmm. Well I was gonna suggest we go inside anyway," she smiled. "I didn’t wear you out too much did I?"
"Ooh. Are you suggesting we go again?" He smiled as she made her way out of the jacuzzi wrapping a towel around her body.
She coyly bit her bottom lip and looked off to the side. "I’ll be in the bedroom." She picked up her robe and walked into the house. As she shut the door behind her it began to pour down rain. Taylor hurriedly got out and dried himself off before running into the house.
Mira giggled and laid her head on Taylor’s chest as he gradually slowed down his breathing. They laid together in the dark bedroom listening to the rain falling outside.
"Are you laughing?" He smiled down at her. "Cause my ego can’t handle being laughed at."
"I’m sorry," she smiled and ran her fingertips up and down his stomach. "I’m not laughing at you. It’s just," she sighed. "I’ve never done it three times in one day."
"Ah," Taylor smiled once his ego was boosted. "Neither have I," he said as he gently played with her hair. "But ya know what?"
"What?"
"We have to go home tomorrow," he said.
"Aww. I’m gonna miss this bed."
"Me too. I’ll never look at it the same way when me and Zac have to sleep in it on family trips."
"Nice," she laughed.
