In a moment that felt like forever, he closed the distance between us and pressed his lips to mine. At first, it felt cold because of the water, but soon all I felt was consuming heat. His soft lips moved slowly over mine. Opening my mouth a bit wider, he slid his warm tongue in, and I’d never felt anything so good. Our noses bumped when we changed angles, and I wrapped my hands around his neck to have a better hold. With his hands holding the surfboard, I was trapped between the board and Andrei’s muscular body. Heat and excitement filled me up with our bodies pressed together under the water. Needing to feel him closer, I hugged my legs around his slim waist.

I pulled back for air before Andrei palmed the back of my neck and collided our mouths together for a kiss I took with an open mouth. He was more eager now, pushing his tongue in. His stubble rubbed against my soft skin, making me moan into his mouth. My cock hardened in my wetsuit and pressed against the thick material. With my legs wrapped around him, I could also feel his excitement. All I wanted to do was to dry hump him like the virgin I was, but the water made it difficult.

Surprisingly, I didn’t let my horniness overrule my judgment. So forgetting about getting off, I focused on the sense-awakening, life-changing kiss.

Andrei kissed me as no one had before. It wasn’t a battle but a need for connection. It is everything I ever dreamed of for a kiss. We continued to explore each other’s mouths, and I was swayed by the feeling of the waves moving our bodies in one unit. There was something about feeling someone else’s heat while surrounded by the water’s coldness. And despite being in the depths of the great ocean, being with Andrei’s arms around me, feeling his body pressed against me, and his lips on my own, made me feel safe.

“I knew you’d be sweet,” he whispered over my lips after he pulled back, rubbing his nose against mine and softly tasting me again. “So, so sweet.”

I looked at him with flushed cheeks and swollen lips. “How did you know?” I questioned, but instead of answering me, Andrei let go of my body and got back to his board.

“Let’s go back to the shore.” He smirked right before he started paddling.

As we got out of the water, Andrei grabbed my hand and held it as we walked back to my car. After putting the boards in the trunk, he made me sit on the edge of the car. Picking up a towel, he started drying me off. His wetsuit was pulled down to his waist, making it hard to focus on anything else but his body because of the water dripping down his torso. His chest flexed with each movement, and his abs stretched as he did his best to dry me to the core.

My feet were warm from the soft sand, and my body was hot because of the guy holding my hand. After putting the surfboards back in my car, we decided to take a short walk on the beach, which turned out to be not so short.

“So your dad, Elliot, he’s from France?” Andrei asked as he directed me toward a place where the waves crashed against the rocks.

“Yeah. When he was twenty, he came to the States for a modeling job, met my dad, and stayed here. Since then, he became a rather famous model.” The sun was almost gone, but that didn’t stop us from climbing onto one of those rocks and sitting down.

“Oh, so that’s why he looked familiar. I swore to God I’d seen him somewhere before.”

I appreciated how Andrei was more fascinated with my dad being a model than with him being married to my other dad. Obviously, he didn’t have a problem with the matter, considering how we were on a date, but even still. I was used to people’s reactions. They weren’t necessarily bad, but just the essence was enough to make it seem like having two dads wasn’t normal, which wasn’t true. What wasn’t normal was having people comment about my family’s structure as if they had any right to do so. The only thing that should count when it came to families was love and nothing else.

“Actually, I think he looked familiar because of my uncle.” I bent my knees and wrapped my arms around them. “He’s an actor. You probably know him. Aloïs Dufort?”

Andrei’s jaw almost hit the ground, and it took him a moment to gather himself back together. His reaction was priceless.

“Aloïs Dufort, the Aloïs Dufort is your uncle? And I only now see the resemblance?” He generally waved toward me. “You literally look just like him. Fuck, the genes in your family.” Aloïs was a big movie star and also Papa’s baby brother.

“Why, thank you.” I pretended to be modest; all it got me was a shove.

“So you live in Beverly Hills with your dads?”

“Actually, we live in Hidden Hills.”

“Isn’t it a bit of a drive for you to get to Bay High then?” His eyes examined me, waiting for my answer as if it were a state secret.

“Not so much. Takes about thirty minutes. Besides, Bay High is the best high school in the state, so my dads insist on it.”

Andrei shifted his head to look at the ocean, rubbing his chin. “You’re close with your dads?”

A warm feeling spread through my body at the thought of my parents. Saying we were close was an understatement. They were my whole world. Of course they annoyed me as every parent does, but all I ever knew was love and care from them. They were my best friends without a doubt.

“Yeah, we are. They’re really awesome.” Talking about them made me smile. “Alongside being a model, Papa has his own clothing brand, which he worked very hard for, while Dad has a law firm. He has offices all around the country. He also has an office in London.”

“Wow, that’s epic.” He paused. “It sounds like you’re really proud of them.”

I tightened the grip around my knees. “Yeah, I am.”

Andrei was silent for a moment, processing my answer with a facial expression I couldn’t interpret, and it made me feel conscious until he spoke again.

“Do you have any siblings?”

It seemed he had many questions today and that made me genuinely happy. Yes, making out with him in the water was the hottest experience of my life, and I was looking forward to doing that again, but him being interested in me and asking me stuff? That made me believe he was here for more than just a fun hookup. And God, did I hope for more.
