Desperate for more, she wrapped her arms around his neck and lifted her heels so she could move her hips against his.
He needed no other hints. “I’m going to make love to you.”
Shocked that she needed his possession more than her next breath, she nodded and reached for his belt.
Within seconds, he’d taken over, pulling her shirt off over her head and unhooking her bra, seemingly all in the same sweeping move.
In the breeze, her nipples instantly hardened.
“Nice.” He bent his head to suck one into his mouth, and desire plowed through her.
“Tell me you have condoms.” She had to ask before common sense fled entirely.
“Always. I consider that essential equipment now that you’re around, fair Elissa.”
Thank God.
He removed his shirt and draped it around her shoulders, then left her only long enough to spread out the blanket and grab his cell phone. Something else he obviously considered essential.
Then he opened the metal button at her waistband. Looking in her eyes, he lowered the zipper. Instead of pulling her shorts off, he slid his hand inside, then brushed aside the gusset of her panties to stroke her clit.
At his light touch, she moaned.
“You’re already wet, aren’t you?”
“Mmm.” He coaxed responses from her that she didn’t know she was capable of.
As he continued to work his magic, she clamped her hands on his biceps for support and allowed her eyes to drift closed.
“Come for me, Elissa. No holding back.”
His rough command melded with his masterful touch, lighting a fire deep in her. Within seconds, whimpering and crying, she climaxed, giving him what he demanded, as if it could be any other way.
Finally, when her breathing returned to normal and the brain fog cleared, she looked at him.
Maybe it was a trick of the sunlight, but she read purposeful intent in his dark green eyes.
“I need to be inside you, Elissa.”
She nodded. Rather than satiating her, the orgasm had only made her crave him more.
After he guided her to the blanket, he tossed aside his hat. She reclined onto her elbows to watch as he shrugged off his lightweight jacket to reveal a gun holster.
He’s carrying?
She shook her head. Of course he was. How could she think otherwise?
He covered the handgun with a towel, then tugged his T-shirt up, revealing the honed planes of his stomach. A shiver of arousal chased through her as he finished tugging the material over his head.
“See something you like?”
Elissa blushed. “I’ll be honest, I’ve never been so fascinated by a male body before.”
Showing zero embarrassment beneath her steady gaze, he gave her a quick grin. “And I meet your approval?”
A shiver tracing through her, she met his eyes. “You know you do.” And she ached to explore every part of him with her fingers as well as her mouth.
He toed off his work boots and socks, then unfastened his belt before removing his jeans. His tight gray boxer briefs showcased his enormous erection. “You’re ready for me, aren’t you? Tell me you are.”
“I always want you.”
Jacob removed his underwear before stripping off her remaining garments. Within seconds he’d taken total control. He was lying on his back, and he captured her wrists to guide her on top of him.
“Couldn’t get over the image of you like this, sitting up, wide open.”
Being in nature, naked, straddling him, should have made her shy. Instead, his approval emboldened her.
He toyed with her pussy to ensure she was lubricated, allowing her to set the pace.
Since her insides were a little tender, she took him in small, measured strokes.
When he was all the way inside, he groaned. “My God, woman.” He cradled her breasts, then tweaked her nipples.
The sensation—tenderness and pain in one—caused her to pitch forward. As she’d known he would, he caught her, protectively cradling her against him.
Then he grabbed hold of her ankles and tucked her feet inside his thighs, forcing her knees even farther apart, seating himself even deeper inside her.
“I…” She whimpered.
“You can.” After taking hold of her chin, he kissed her deeply and for so long that her senses were overwhelmed, and she no longer noticed the discomfort of him filling her. “Touch yourself for me.”
With as tight as he was holding her, it took some maneuvering for her to slide a finger across her swollen clit.
“That’s it, Elissa.”
He grasped her waist, steadying her as his powerful hips pistoned and he fucked her hard, seemingly with no restraint—not that she would deny him anything.
She was rising and falling on him, finding her climax when he moaned. How incredible this was, knowing he was on the verge.
Elissa lifted her head enough to watch him in fascination, adoring the way his lips pressed together and his jaw tightened.
His breaths were shallow, and he bit out her name, along with a soft curse.
The forceful way he came in her sent her over the edge, but he was there for her, clasping her again, murmuring reassuring words in her ear.
It wasn’t until long minutes later that she became aware of the sounds around her—the burbling water, the cry of a hawk. She managed to slow her breathing and regain her bearings long enough to press a palm against his chest in order to sit up. She blinked against the sunlight and saw his triumphant smile.
“I think you liked that.”
“More than a little.” The admission was easier than she imagined it might be.
“Then I think you’ll also enjoy my next suggestion.” Using his superior strength, he managed to roll them over, leaving her pinned helplessly beneath him.
“Oh?” Skeptically, she raised her eyebrows.
“Skinny-dipping.”
“I… Uh.” She drew a breath. “We’ve had that discussion before. I don’t do that kind of thing.”
“Until five minutes ago, you didn’t have sex outside either.”
“But…”
“You have to admit, it will feel nice after being hot and sweaty.”
No doubt he was right about that. Because there were no clouds, her skin was warm.
Unabashed, he stood and crossed to the four-wheeler. She sat up and watched as he discarded the condom, then grabbed two towels. He tossed one to her. “You can preserve your modesty with this.”
“It’s a little late for that.”
“That’s not a bad thing.” He strode to the water and stepped in. “Cold, but not frigid.” He crouched to pour a handful of the pure Rocky Mountain water over his chest and half-hard cock. “You’ll love it.”
“I don’t know about that.” Despite her reservations, she was tempted.
“Have I led you astray?”
“Not yet.”
As if conceding her point, he grinned. “Never know when you will get another chance.” He extended a hand toward her. “Live a little. Promise I’ll keep you warm.”
Chapter Seven
Clutching the towel closed, Elissa walked to the water’s edge.
“So very brave.”
She still wasn’t convinced.
