“Something you’re not telling me, Zora?”

She grinned, revealing that small dimple once again. “I have no idea what you’re talking about,” she spoke with mock innocence.

“I thought you didn’t know how to fish.”

“Did I say that?”

“You asked me to show you how to fish.”

“No, actually, I asked you to show me how you fish. I wanted to see your technique. I never said I didn’t know how to fish. You made that assumption.”

“But you clearly said you never got around to fishing at the pond in Covington.”

“Again, you misinterpreted what I said. I said there was a lovely pond everyone went to. There were a few fishing spots in Covington. I just never went to the popular one. My nana had a pond on her property that spawned trout. So now when I catch two more fish, I’ll win the bet.”

Heath let out a loud belly laugh. “You little minx! I think since you’ve got me at a bit of a disadvantage, I reserve the right to even the playing field.”

“Oh? And how do you propose to do that?”

He moved behind her again and slid his arms around her waist. “With a little distraction, of course.” He pulled her against him until the imprint of his erection was nestled comfortably against her rear.

She tensed. “Wh-what are you doing?”

Wrapping his arms tightly around her waist, he lowered his head and nipped the tip of her ear. “Like I said, leveling the playing field.”

“I thought you guys were going to give me time?” she asked breathlessly, making no move to pull away from his hold.

“All you have to do is say no.” Heath nuzzled the side of her neck with his lips, reveling in the silky smoothness of her lush brown skin. Her scent was intoxicating, and he didn’t know if he’d be able to stop with just a few stolen kisses.

“It. Doesn’t. Matter. I can do this with the dis-distraction.” She kept her gaze on the lake, even though her words came out in a breathy moan.

“Oh yeah? Even if I do this?” Heath slid his hands along the curve of her waist and moved them just below the full globes of her breast. He nipped her ear lobe between his teeth, biting down just enough to sting, but not to cause real pain.

Another groan eased from her lips. He noticed how her hands tightened around the fishing rod until her knuckles were discolored.

She moved her bottom against his aching erection, turning the tables on him. “Lady, if you keep that up, all bets will be off.”

“You started it.”

“Very true, and if you keep rubbing that ass on my dick I’m going to finish it.” Without warning, he rubbed his thumbs across the nipples that poked through her bra and T-shirt.

“Maybe I don’t want to stop,” she replied seductively.

The culmination of cold showers, hours of masturbation and general frustration warred within him. Heath could no longer fight the temptation of doing what he’d fantasized about for the past week. Damn the bet! With a growl, he yanked the pole out of her hand and tossed it carelessly to the ground. He turned her around to face him.

“Your pole—”

“Baby, the only pole I’m worried about is the one in my pants.”

He covered her mouth with his before she could offer any verbal resistance. She tasted even sweeter than he remembered, like warm honey and ambrosia. Heath gripped several of her blonde locks in his hands and wrapped them around his fist to deepen the kiss as he pushed his tongue past her lush lips. He wanted everything she had to give and even that wasn’t enough. It barely registered that she offered no resistance. In fact, Zora pressed her body closer to his, crushing her breasts against his chest.

Her tongue darted forward to meet his until they circled and licked one another. He couldn’t remember a time when his dick was this hard. As they exchanged kiss for kiss, they clung to one another as if they were both afraid to break contact lest something happen.

While he found the kiss gratifying beyond measure, it simply wasn’t enough. He had to have her. Heath pulled her down in the wind-rustling grass, falling on top of her with their mouths still merged tightly together. He loved that she fit so perfectly against his broad frame. She was his perfect foil in every way, from the softness of her curves to the dark beauty of her skin.

Coming up for breath, Heath lifted his head to nibble on her soft bottom lip before burying his face against her neck and inhaling her unique fragrance. He could smell her arousal and it was driving him insane with lust. In the back of his mind, he knew that the first time he properly made love with her should be with his cousins present as they’d agreed, but he didn’t see anything wrong with having a little sample. He just needed to stop before things went too far.

Heath fumbled with the button on her shorts and quickly eased the zipper down. Still she offered no resistance. In fact, Zora seemed to egg him on, arching her back in a way that granted his actions permission. He slipped his fingers inside her panties and the soft mound of hair nestled between her thighs. The heat radiating from her was incredible. Journeying farther, he moved his fingers until they rested against her slick labia. “You’re already wet for me, aren’t you?”
