“Can’t seem to get enough of you,” Eden whispered.
“Same.”
They kissed and touched, and Eden used her newfound skills to give Anna another shattering orgasm before they took a much-needed shower and ventured downstairs for some equally needed water. And then, exhausted, they went to bed ... together.
CHAPTER TWENTY-TWO
“Almost there,” Eden huffed as she led the way up the path. Sunlight filtered through the canopy of leaves overhead, casting dappled patches over the ground around them. Ahead, she could hear the babble and splash of water.
“This path is a great workout.” Anna sounded as breathless as Eden. After coffee and a light breakfast at the house, they’d prepared a picnic lunch and set out on a hike to Eden’s favorite spot on her property. She could hardly wait to share it with Anna.
“It’s the only working out I do when I’m here,” Eden said.
“That sounds good to me,” Anna said. “Oh!”
The gazebo had come into sight ahead, its white paint a stark contrast to the rich browns and greens of the forest around it.
“Isn’t it adorable?” Eden asked.
“So cute,” Anna agreed.
As they approached the gazebo, the stream meandered over to run alongside the path. The melodic sound of water rushing over rocks combined with the chatter of birds and the whisper of the breeze through the trees to create the world’s most relaxing soundtrack. Eden had tried to capture it on her phone, but the recorded version wasn’t the same. So far, she had only achieved this feeling of contentment when she was here in person.
They entered the gazebo, which had a wooden bench that ran the perimeter of the structure. On one side, she could sit and watch the stream babbling past. Eden sat there now, setting her backpack at her feet.
“This is the perfect spot for a picnic,” Anna said.
“I bring lunch up here a lot.”
“I can see why.” Anna pressed closer, bringing their lips together.
“Mm-hmm,” Eden murmured into the kiss, marveling at the way her body awoke at the simple press of Anna’s lips to hers. Already, she felt a warm flush of arousal. She dug her fingers into Anna’s ass, urging her closer so their hips pressed together. She moaned as Anna began to rock against her.
Anna reached for the waistband of Eden’s leggings, then paused. “How likely is it that someone will come by and see us?”
“No chance of that happening,” Eden answered, hips automatically arching toward Anna’s hand. “The property has a seven-foot fence, and it’s nowhere near this gazebo.”
Anna tsked. “Still in your cage, Eden, even here. I’m going to get you out of that cage before the end of the week, but first ...” Her hand slid down the front of Eden’s pants.
Eden gasped, startled to realize how wet she already was as Anna’s fingers reached her. Then Anna was brushing circles over her clit, and Eden couldn’t think. She could only feel as pleasure overtook her senses. She threw her head back, her whimpers and rasping breaths mingling with the sounds of nature around them.
Here in the light of day, sober and rested, Eden’s mind was blown all over again by the way her body responded to Anna. Arousal built steadily inside her, strong and urgent. Her hips thrust against Anna’s hand, and when she broke, her cry echoed through the treetops.
“Beautiful,” Anna said, watching her. Then she brought her fingers to her lips and sucked. “And delicious.”
Eden groaned again, pleasure still sparking through her system. “I don’t know why that’s so hot, but it is.” She brought a hand between them, brushing against the warm, firm skin of Anna’s stomach. She couldn’t resist toying with Anna’s belly ring, twirling it between her fingers before she slipped them into Anna’s pants.
She could hardly wrap her mind around how natural this felt for her already. She marveled at the way Anna felt beneath her fingers, how hot, how wet. Anna’s hazel eyes gleamed with all the colors of the forest as a ray of sunshine passed over her face.Beautiful.There was a song in those verdant depths. Eden was sure of it.
Already, she was starting to discover what Anna liked, and she couldn’t wait to spend the rest of the week learning all the ins and outs of her body. For someone who’d never been very interested in sex, it was all Eden could think about now.
She was already getting aroused again, just watching Anna grow closer to her release. A warm ache grew in Eden’s core as Anna ground herself against Eden’s hand. She rubbed her thumb against Anna’s clit, and Anna gasped, biting her lower lip. Her inner walls tightened around Eden’s fingers as she came, and Eden felt an answering clench inside her own body.
“God, you’re beautiful when you come.” She could hear the awe in her voice.
Anna grinned, cheeks flushed, panting for breath. “Not as beautiful as you.”
They sat for several minutes like that, Anna straddling Eden’s lap, kissing and cuddling. Eventually, they got up to rinse their hands in the stream. Anna took her shoes off and waded in, squeaking in surprise at how cold the water was. Unable to resist, Eden took off her own shoes and followed her in.
