Chapter 12 - Bailey
I expect to sleep very lightly and wake up a lot, maybe not even really sleep at all. I’m surprised when my eyes flutter open to see faint light around the tent.
Must be almost dawn.
I slept right through the night. I stretch out my senses straight away, checking the area for danger and wondering what woke me.
Then, Gina’s scent fills my nostrils and my mouth, closer to me than it’s ever been. My body, already aroused in the usual way first thing in the morning, responds with a violent shudder.
Gina murmurs softly in her sleep, her face just beneath mine. At some point during the night, we rolled towards each other and entangled like a couple of angry snakes.
Or very horny ones.
Suddenly, the excitement of having her pressed up against my chest is shattered by the fear of potential rejection.
What if she does to me what I did to her?
The thought is a painful one, but I also know it’s exactly what I deserve.
Gina mutters again, curling up even closer to me. She licks her lips, and sensation shocks through me. She’s less than an inch away. I could press my lips to hers without even moving my head.
One of her arms slithers out of the sleeping bag and wraps around my waist. When she writhes against me, stretching in her sleep, I have to gulp down a moan.
I’ve never been so turned on in my entire life.
My cock is rock-hard and straining to be free of my pants. I’m starting to breathe so hard, I’m almost panting. Her scent clings to me, wafting around my head like a thick, palpable cloud. Just like when you get a tray of cookies out of the oven and the warm, tantalizing scent hits you right in the face—sugar, butter, and vanilla, completely obliterating all your other senses and making you hungry enough to devour every single one.
Even though Gina is wrapped around me, I decide I have to get out of here. I can’t stand this for another minute. I don’t want her to know how aroused I am, and I don’t know how much longer I can control myself.
I pull my arms back, wondering how to roll away from her without waking her up. When I look back into her face to check, my heart thumps up into my throat as I see her beautiful blue eyes wide open and looking straight at me.
The shock crackles through me, making my heart pound and closing my chest. I’m waiting for her to push me away, maybe even yell at me, before she leaves the tent in a fury.
Instead, she just stares at me. Our bodies are wound so tightly together, she has to feel how hard I am.
Her eyelids flutter, and she smiles, one hand coming up to stroke my cheek. Arousal and excitement collide with anxiety inside me, and I have no idea what I should do.
I know exactly what I want to do.
I lean my face in, just a little closer. Our noses almost touch, and Gina tilts her head. I close my eyes and pray.
Her soft, hot lips touch mine, and my whole body shudders with need. Tingles rush across my skin, and my cock gets even harder as a new wave of arousal slams me.
Like getting hit by a fucking train.
Gina’s lips work gently against mine, soft, slick, and hot. Her tongue flicks out, gently exploring my mouth.
I lean into the kiss, tightening my grip on her. She responds by writhing against me, moaning as she wraps her arms around me.
The kiss intensifies, with Gina leaning into me and grabbing my arms to pull me closer. I want to throw her onto her back and take her, and my wolf is demanding I do just that, but there’s something I want even more.
Gently, I push her over onto her back and hold myself up above her. With one hand, I clumsily fumble the sleeping bags out of the way so our bodies are pressed together.
I can see hesitation, maybe even fear, in her eyes, but she stays loose and relaxed under me and even gives me a slow, small smile. She keeps her eyes on mine as she undoes the buttons down the front of her long flannel nightshirt, flicking it open to expose her nakedness.
Her scent has never been so strong, and I’ve never been so close to her, so immersed in it. It rises from between her breasts and from every inch of her skin, confusing my thoughts and making my blood sing.
I take a deep breath, bringing my face down low until my lips are almost touching the soft skin between her breasts. This close, her scent is dizzying and getting stronger by the second.
