“Is the cove safe?”
“Safe?” he asked. “From humans?”
I glared at him, laughing. “From sharks, silly.”
“Oh. They don’t come in this far. The cove is protected. Why?”
I backed away before he could stop me, glancing toward the house before yanking off my dress and tossing it aside. “How about a night swim. You need to be cooled off.”
“Excuse me, lady. What’s wrong with being all hot and bothered?”
“You could combust and explode. I wouldn’t want that.” I backed away, beckoning with my hand. “Unless you’re too scared, that is. But even if you are, I’ll protect you.”
The way he rose to his feet was the same way he did everything else.
With attitude.
I continued backing away while enjoying the sight of him yanking off his clothes. His actions weren’t as precise as I was used to seeing. But they were sexy as hell. In the stream of moonlight, his skin appeared luminous and the sight of his fully erect cock made my mouth water.
As soon as he took a giant stride toward me, just as I’d done before, I took off running. Only this time into the water.
I didn’t hear him at first. Maybe because I was splashing as I ran in several feet.
But he was suddenly there. I splashed water at him, laughing when I did. He was still advancing, only stopping to rake his hands through his hair. As if preening for me.
“If you’re trying to drive me crazy, it’s not working.”
“Is that what I’m doing?”
“I think so. In fact, I know you too well, but two can play at that game.” I shoved my finger into my mouth, sucking as hard as I’d done with his cock. My body was still shaking from the sheer intensity of the pleasure and I was making loud enough sounds I could tell he was amused.
He continued to advance and I backed away, tripping on something and falling into the water. A laugh burst to the surface and I scrambled to get to my feet. Still backing away.
Still teasing him.
“Come on, big boy. If I can handle it, you can. You need to be cooled off and put in your place.”
“You’re going to get it for that.”
This time his tackle was soft and purposeful. He pulled me into the deeper water close to the cove, immediately lifting me off the sandy bottom. I wrapped my legs around his waist and threw my arms over his shoulders.
With his eyes never blinking, he turned me in a full circle. His lips were swollen from our kisses, the low and husky growls he emitted keeping me fully aroused. We were both on fire, our hunger never satisfied.
His cock was pressed against my stomach and the heavy throb was powerful in and of itself.
“What do you want, Lainey?”
“Everything.”
“Be more specific.”
“I want your cock. Your lips. Your touch. Your body against mine.”
“Is that all?”
I slowly shook my head, surprised the moment was as unnerving as it was. “I want you. All of you.”
My words managed to surprise him and for a few seconds, he shifted his gaze back and forth, his eyes imploring. Then the heat and fire returned with a vengeance.
