hand up behind her back, to her neck, and then pushing his fingers into her hair and pulling he toward him again. “I won’t judge you for it, if you don’t judge me.”
    “I’d never judge you.” Her smile faded. “I don’t judge you.”
    “I know.” He kissed her, and this time it was soft, but then slowly it got stronger and stronger. Before Caelyn knew it, he was taking her by the hand and slowly leading her to the bedroom.
    He kissed her for a long time, his lips lingering, seeming to take her in, drinking her in.
    And then they were undressing each other.
    She couldn’t stop putting her hands on him, she was completely and totally in awe of his incredible body.
    Cool skin, cast in shadow, with just enough light filtering in from the window to see Elijah’s muscles working as he climbed on top of her.
    And then everything was dark, light, shadow, and she was closing her eyes again.
    Behind her eyes, the sun was burning ever hotter. It was scorching, the heat setting fire to the sand, and she was crying out, because it felt amazing, as the water exploded against the beach, the waves tossing and breaking on the shore.

    Elijah was laughing a little bit as he watched Caelyn pack up her backpack with books for school the next day.
    “What’s so funny?” she asked, as she stuffed the last textbook inside the pack, zipped it up and threw it over her shoulder.
    “I’ve just never seen you getting ready for school before. It’s weird,” Elijah replied. He was eating some roasted peanuts, tossing them into his mouth one at a time, and chewing.
    “You seem…happy or something,” Caelyn told him. “Now that’s weird.”
    He winked at her. “I got reason to be, kid.”
    “Stop calling me kid, Elijah.”
    “Come on,” he said, “we need to get you to class on time before your professor freaks out.”
    “Yeah,” Caelyn said, glancing at the time on her phone. “And actually, I need to get there a little early because I need to buy a new book for my psych class.”
    “Okay, well I’m not stopping you. I’m waiting.”
    “And I’m ready to go.” Caelyn brushed past him but he grabbed her backpack and pulled her towards him.
    “Hey!” she cried. “Let go!”
    “No,” he said, “not until I get a kiss.”
    She pretended to fight, but she wasn’t fighting very hard. The truth was, she wanted Elijah’s hands and lips on her constantly. Especially now, when she wouldn’t be seeing him until later in the day.
    He teased her for a moment, his eyes mischievous as he leaned in to kiss her, then backed off, then leaned in again. Finally he did it, and the heat that his lips generated all throughout her body was enough to get her sweating.
    But before Caelyn knew it, the kiss was over and they were quickly heading out of the apartment and down the stairs of the building.
    The car ride over was mostly uneventful. As they crossed the bridge over into Cambridge, she looked at him for awhile.
    The sun was glinting off his sunglasses as he drove, and he looked like someone straight out of a movie poster. “What?” he said, glancing at her.
    “Nothing, just checking you out.”
    “Checking me out? What am I, just a piece of meat to you?” he laughed.
    “So,” she said, watching him still, “what are you going to do after you drop me at school?”
    His smile faded a little, and his jaw flexed. “I don’t know. Probably nothing much.”
    “Elijah, don’t lie to me. I know you’re going to do something.”
    He looked at her again. “Don’t ask me stuff like that, Caelyn. I don’t think you want to hear the answer.”
    “But I do. Especially if it’s something that could get you sent to jail—or worse.”
    “What’s worse than prison?”
    “You know what’s worse.” She had that pit in her stomach again. It was like a recurring nightmare, this sense that Elijah was determined to continue his life of crime until something irreversible happened.
    Elijah sighed. “I got a message from
