Page 31 of Her Noble Protector
“Damn it, Sunni. Are you okay?” I asked as I turned on my heels and made my way over to her.
She poked out her bottom lip. “I hurt myself.”
“Let me see.” I held my hand out for her. Instead of letting me help her up, she pulled me into the sand. She grinned and grabbed a handful of my ass.
“Fun’s over. We’re going home,” I said in the most monotone voice I could muster.
Sunni didn’t care. She had doubled over and held her stomach as she laughed like she was front row at aKings of Comedyshow.
“You think this funny, huh?”
“Yeah. Whew, that was hilarious, actually. I almost peed on myself.” She let out an amused breath as she sat up and wiped the tears from her eyes.
“Pissy ass.”
“Shut up, loser.” She stood and wiggled her light purple toes in the sand.
“You know what I want to do before we head back to the beach house?”
“Hmm?”
“I want to formally ask you to be my girl.”
She turned to look at me with curious eyes. “I’m already your girlfriend.”
“Yeah, but we kind of just did the shit. I didn’t do a grand gesture, so let me do that real quick.”
“Go for it.”
I stood and dusted the sand off my shorts before I guided her to the shoreline. The waves hit our feet again as the sun continued to set. The orange and purple colors blended into dark blues as night quickly approached.
“Sunni Stone, will you be my girlfriend today and my wife soon?” I asked as I held her in my arms and whispered into her ear.
“Yes, Noble Nash. I will be your girlfriend, fiancée, and wife.”
“Promise you’re mine forever?”
She nodded. “I promise.”
I turned her around and sealed it with a kiss. I slid my hand down the curve of her back and gave her ass a firm grip. She moaned into my mouth.
“We’re not about to have sex on the beach. Sand is already annoying as hell, and I’ll be damned if I get any near my most sensitive parts.”
I chuckled. “Understood.”
“Ah!” Sunni yelped and clung to me.
“What happened?”
“Something touched my foot!”
I took out my cell phone and turned on the flashlight. Glistening below us were two tiny sea turtles.
She gasped. “Oh my goodness! Noble, look how beautiful these babies are.”
Sunni got down on her knees and lifted the turtles into her hand. She rubbed their shells and looked into their eyes. Her eyes twinkled under the light of my phone as she forgot about me and gave her attention to the sea animals.
“What are y’all doing near the shore?” she asked in a tiny baby voice.
