?Long-lasting desire and loyalty
Sign me up. Even on paper we sound like a good match. I put my phone in my locker then make my way to the sauna. It feels like a quick trip since I’m engrossed in ideas for wooing Jessamine the rest of this week.
The heat coats me as I open the door like being greeted like an old friend. It’s my favorite post workout activity. My eyes adjust just to find the only other guest at the hotel. Jessamine tilts her head and looks up at me from where she’s sitting with a towel fully covering her body.
“So much for the naked sauna idea I just had.” Jessamine teases as she crosses her arms.
“Please don’t let me stop you.”
There is no teasing in my voice because I’d love to see her naked. Jessamine shifts a little and recrosses her legs.
Message received.
I sit on the bench to her right, facing her profile. “Was camping always on the agenda today?” She asks once she finds her voice again.
“No. I gave a tentative schedule in the beginning to allow a little spontaneity. It’s going to be a nice night. Not too hot or cold and no rain to fuck up the vibe. Have you been camping before?”
She shakes her head. “No. I can’t say I’ve ever had the desire.”
I haven’t camped a lot but I’ve enjoyed myself every time. I lean back, making myself more comfortable. The readjustment requires me to open my legs more. Since I’m only wearing a towel, I’m forcing myself to ignore the simple fact that the only thing between us are two towels.
“And now?”
Jessamine’s eyes roam my body as if I just offered myself up for her consumption.
“It’s becoming more and more tempting. Although I could have sworn I’ve told you not to pitch ideas while distractingly half-naked.”
I get up and move to sit next to her and lean in until we’re almost eye to eye.
“My eyes are up here, Jessamine.”
It’s unclear who leaned in but I don’t care as long as I get another taste of her. It’s technically our third kiss but it’s my new favorite pastime. Making out or even sex in a sauna may be a dangerous game but I can’t stop.
Jessamine somehow manages to straddle me without losing her towel. My moan is trapped in our kiss as she grinds against me. I fight the urge to remove her towel because there is no coming back from that. We’d have to fuck at that point.Moving to the next best thing, I grab two handfuls of her ass as I trail kisses down the side of her neck.
The sound of her moan goes straight to my dick. We need to stop and we need to stop now. Grabbing her neck, I deliver one more deep kiss before standing up. Jessamine just simply wraps her legs around my waist, prolonging the encounter I’m desperately trying to end for our sake.
“We have to stop,” I protest between kisses.
I find the willpower to pull her off me and place her on the bench. Unfortunately, our position gives me all kinds of sexy ideas. With Jessamine sitting almost directly in front of my erection, I can’t help imagine her plush lips wrapped around me. She must be thinking the same thing because she reaches out to rub me through the towel. I groan low in my throat, enjoying the sensation. I let her stroke me twice before I grab her wrist.
“This is a dangerous game,” I husk out. “We’re not having a quickie in the sauna. I don’t like being on a timer.”
Fuck. The lust in her eyes makes me want to throw all reason out of the window. I take a step back to give us some distance.
“I’m going to my room to shower and get dressed. Then I’ll eat lunch. Afterwards, I’ll get ready for the hike and camping. You have about three hours to decide if you want to join me.”
Jessamine licks her lips but nods. Damn, she’s so tempting.
Without another word, I leave the sauna before I drag her back to my room and cancel the rest of the day.
Chapter 12
Jessamine
What does one wear camping? It may not be my thing but the way that man kisses makes me want to follow him anywhere. Even after my solo session in the shower, my body is still buzzing to be touched by him again. I place my toiletry bag in my backpack and two pairs of underwear, a regular bra, a sports bra, jeans, shorts, biker shorts, a sleep shirt, and socks.
I’m not sure how far we’re going but he did say we’ll still be on the property. I toss a few snack bars from my welcome basket and fill up my water bottle. I slip on my tennis shoes, grab my backpack, and leave to find Cole. I opted to wear yoga pants, a sports bra, and T-shirt since I didn’t know what he considered a hike. It’s not much of an incline around so I’m assuming it’ll be more distance than elevation.
