My throat clamps up as my back connects with a tree trunk, wet bark prickling through the thin material of my sweatshirt.
Tyler boxes me in.
Water beads on his forehead, skating off and splattering on my face, cool on my skin, while the heat of him surrounds me. His chest presses firmly against mine, one hand binding my wrist above my head while the other grips my hip greedily, making my breath hitch.
“There you are,” he murmurs, his breath caressing my lips.
An immense need sets fire inside me.
Pearls of sweat wash down my arms as Tyler remains unmoving, staring at me with a ferocity of desire, feral.
“You run pretty,” he growls, “Now, I’m going to fuck you into ruin until you’re soaking my cock.”
The words send pulsations straight to my clit.
The sky clashes above as the thunder booms, but neither of us notices. We’re too consumed by each other.
Tyler bows his head until our foreheads meet; the only sound is the rush of our breathing.
Then without warning, his mouth crashes into mine and the kiss hits like a collision.
I let out a low moan as a tremor flows over me from head to toe.
I grab fistfuls of his sweatshirt reflexively, a powerful longing to close any distance between us swells inside of me.
His chest is elevating with mine now, all that adrenaline from tonight prowling through him like a caged beast, ready to release. I can feel it in the way he kisses me fervently. In the way his hands clutch me as if he needs the reassurance that I’m here.
“Tyler,” I manage.
He kisses me again before I can say anything else, savoring the fact that he caught me. Marking himself into every fractured piece of me once more.
I feel him smirk before his forehead drops to mine again.
Suddenly I drop my weight, slipping lower against the tree before twisting sideways out and duck beneath one of his arms.
For one triumphant second, I think I’ve actually managed to escape him.
Then his arm snakes around my waist.
A startled laugh leaves me as he hauls me backward.
“Tyler!”
“Nice try.”
It sends us both crashing into the mud together as rain explodes around us.
The impact knocks the breath from my lungs, but before I can recover, Tyler rolls and is
above me, looking entirely too pleased with himself.
The cocky bastard.
“Come on little reaper. Is that all you got?”
I glare up at him.
Water drips from his hair onto my face.
