Shit.
What was shedoing?
They were kissing. How had that happened? And she wasn’t stopping or telling him to stop. Instead, she was welcoming the thrust of his tongue into her mouth from the merciless kiss he gave her, allowing him to explore the recesses of her mouth, sending shivers of desire racing across herbody.
Damn her. Damn him. How could she not find the strength to resist him? And what happened to everything she’d built up over the last six years? There was a spark of something that resembled her brain, and she almost came back with the willpower to resist the irresistible man who seemed to want to consumeher,
but, just as quickly, the spark went as he ran his hands over her breasts and squeezed her. The action sent a jolt of electricity right through her and straight to her groin, awakening her being. Their kiss was scorching, and her lips burned from the cruel ravishment of hismouth.
His hands ran down her, starting with her neck, then her shoulders, and all the way down to her waist, leaving a fire in the wake of his touch. She melted further when he lifted the edge of the fabric on her top and brushed his hands over the bare surface of her skin. It felt like fire there, too. Scott then moved back and pushed the strap of her top and bra down together. In that moment, her awareness returned -- it was not strong enough to say ‘no’ to him, but it, at the very least, allowed her to take note of where theywere.
“Scott, we shouldn’t do thishere.”
“Fuck that, Abi. I can’tstop.”
“We’re outside. Anyone could drive by and see us.” They hadn’t seen that many cars go by, but that didn’t mean no one would come, and who could tell when someone might drive by? She looked over to the road warily, and when she returned her gaze to him, their eyes locked, and she was trapped within his blue gaze. In an instant, she knew he had no intention of stopping, wherever theywere.
To her surprise, he took her hand and led her into the woods, into the thicket where no one would seethem.
“Scott we should--” one last attempt while her brain was still with her. This was wrong. She should say ‘no’ now. She should remember where the road with him led and that this wascrazy.
“Fuck.” Fire burned within his eyes, eradicating logic. It was so strong, Abi couldn’t speak. That power he had to enthrall her took over her mind and, like a mindless puppet, she was under his spell. The pull of the moment drew them together and wiped her brain clean ofthought.
His lips reclaimed hers as he crushed her to him, capturing her. Claiming her. She moaned into the kiss, enjoying the taste of him and letting herself go. God, he tasted so good, like something she had denied herself for far too long and desperatelyneeded.
She’d never met anyone who could make her feel like that -- like this. And he knew the effect he was having on her, within her, all aroundher.
“It’s just fun, Abi,” he whispered with that wicked smile against her lips, kissing her with a devouringneed.
“Fun.” She breathed into the kiss, feeling her mind slip away into the fun she knew she was going tohave.
Screw the past and what it held with all its warnings. She would be crazy to deny herself of this delicious man who looked like he wanted to consumeher.
This was the present. It was right now. For the last few years, she’d focused on restraining her feelings for this man. She hadn’t had this kind of fun sincehim.
His touches reminded her instantly of the fun they used to have when things were amazing, of the hot, wild sex that took her to another world and gave her a new meaning of ‘passion.’
Fun.
God, could she really do this? Her arousal-filled mind yielded to the prospect, and her body craved him with a hunger she hadn’t felt in years. This didn’t seem like a bad ideanow.
Relinquishing all control, she took off his jacket when he tugged at her top and ran her hands over those glorious muscles that tensed at hertouch.
Yes, she could forget they were broken up and indulge in the moment. It was perfect. So whynot?
“Jesus, Abi, how the hell could I have let you go?” His voice came out strained and labored against herlips.
His words reached her inside, so deep inside, and tugged at her soul, igniting the love she once felt for him. It should have sent her running. It should have reminded her of the hurt she felt when they broke up and that he never came after her. Or, worse, that he’d only been back in her life for a few hours and here they were out in the woods tearing off each other’sclothes!
But it didn’t. She put her fears and worries to the back of her mind, pushing them aside like she was sweeping themclean.
And she gave into the lust that consumed them. He pushed her back gently against a tree and skimmed her waist with hishands.
“I’ve wanted to do this all day,” he confessed with a salacious smile, cupping her breasts. She relaxed against the tree and allowed him to get a good feel. “You used to likethis.”
“I still do,” she confessed breathlessly as he squeezed her and ran his fingers back and forth over hernipples.
He worked her top over her head and threw it to the side where his jacket was. He then undid her bra and tossed that,too.
