Excerpt
Gavin
reached the shore and dragged his tired limbs from the water. He snatched up
his clothes and walked, naked and unconcerned, up to the house. His legs
protested as he climbed the stairs to the porch. Maybe he had overdone it a
little, but he resisted falling into one of the deck chairs, instead dropping
his stuff outside the door as he slid it open. A quick shower to rinse the Gulf
from his skin, maybe a beer or two, and he was done.
As he
breeched the threshold, a movement to the left caught his attention and he
turned, completely gobsmacked by what he found.
His
weakened limbs found the renewed strength to hold him in place, standing
completely still so as not to shatter the vision before him.
She was
here. She was actually here.
Gavin
watched in utter fascination as Lauren slipped the shirt from her shoulders.
Inch by gorgeous inch, she unknowingly revealed her back to him. The creamy
skin made his mouth water. His body tensed and he yearned to reach out, to
touch, to tease, to pleasure.
Obviously,
she thought she was alone. He should make his presence known. Shouldn’t stand
here and watch as she unhooked her bra. And definitely shouldn’t watch as she …
sweet mercy, was she caressing her—fuck.
A flash
of lust burned through him. Gavin licked his lips, his tongue suddenly
desperate for something to do. His gaze focused on the movement of her arms as
she cupped her breasts. He’d give anything to know what, who she was thinking
about right now. He wanted it to be him, hoped it was him. It was wrong, so
wrong, yet he remained still, transfixed, waiting to see what she did
next.
A tiny
sound emerged from her throat, and his cock hardened in response. Her arms
dropped. So did his gaze. The shimmering blue panties she wore didn’t quite cover
her butt cheeks and he groaned as she bent to pick up what appeared to be a
bikini top. Not panties then. Jesus, she was changing into a bathing suit. Not
performing some kind of erotic strip tease.
Lauren
spun, slapping her palms to her breasts. Not fast enough to keep him from
seeing her tawny nipples, both drawn up to tight little buds.
Her gaze
drifted over him, lingering over his chest before heading lower. Her eyes
widened as she took in the rest of him. “W-what are you doing here?”
He made
no attempt to cover himself. “It’s my house.” Simple, to the point. Truth. And
all he was capable of at the moment.
Her
fingers tightened, her breasts threatening to spill from the confines of her
small, delicate hands. Hands he’d like to replace with his own.
“That’s
not what I meant. You said you were leaving tonight.”
He nodded
slowly. “Yes, and I did. You never asked me where I was going.”
“So, you
asked me to come, but thought I wouldn’t if I knew you’d be here?”
He could
practically hear the gears turning in her head. And he appreciated the fact she
was pleased with what she saw, but she was making coherent thought damn near
impossible.
“Staring
at it like that is only going to make it worse, sweetheart,” he said gently.
Her eyes
snapped up, a light blush staining her cheeks. “Like what?”
“Like
it’s candy.” She was killing him. He couldn’t remember ever being so hard. The
stubborn set of her chin, the darkening of her eyes, everything about her
intrigued him, called to him.
“I need a
shower.” The saltwater from his swim was already starting to make his skin
itch, and he needed to get the hell away before he tossed her to the couch and
fucked her blind.
He looked
her up and down again, taking full advantage of his first opportunity to see
her body, the curves that had tempted him for so long. She was even more
beautiful than he’d imagined. Lean, muscular legs, rounded hips and an ass he’d
like to sink his hands into. Breasts too big for her smaller hands, but perfect
for his.
“Unless
you’d like to join me, I’d suggest you put on something more substantial.” He
glanced pointedly the apex of her legs. “Because knowing I’m one scrap of
material from having you naked is driving me crazy.” As if she hadn’t seen the
rock-hard evidence of his arousal already.
Slowly,
her lips curled upward. “Well, I seem to remember you telling me I could help
myself to anything I wanted.” She dropped her hands, baring her nipples for his
view. “So, yes, Gavin. I think a shower sounds perfect.”
