“Will you?” she questioned, her eyes narrowing at me suspiciously.

“You bet your sweet ass, I will.” I reiterated, my hand finding the curve of her throat, squeezing it lightly as I leaned down until our noses were touching. Her breath shortened, coming in short pants as the tension between us rose to a fever pitch. “Speaking of that sweet ass…”

I tore the blanket off her, making her gasp. But that didn’t last long as I picked her up by the waist, throwing her over my shoulder as the blanket tumbled to the floor in a heap. I stomped my way over to the door, throwing it open as she almost clawed my back up.

“Niko! I amnaked!Put me down and let me get dressed!” she shrieked.

“No way, princess. You chose to remove your clothes. This is the natural consequence of your actions.” Of course, I would never have put her at any actual risk. Iknew that all three of the guys were out in the garage, and I planned to take her in the opposite direction — and yes, that meant out of the house… butt-ass naked.

“Niko! The guys will see me!” she shrieked as I strode towards the back door, throwing it open and heading out into the hot summer sun. “OUTSIDE?!? What are you doing?”

She kicked, screamed, and made a complete scene as I simply carried her out into the yard.

“You’re right. They will see you — if you don’t keep your voice down. They are on the other side of the house, and you are perfectly safe.” My hand moved up the back of her thigh, smacking her ass before my fingers trailed over the crack of her ass and down between her folds.

“Fuck,” I muttered under my breath. She was absolutely drenched. “What do we have here?” I teased as I strode across the yard towards the treeline. Her shrieking finally ceased, though her nails were still digging into my back. “Does my princessenjoybeing naked in public? Is it the thought of being seen like this that turns you on? Do you enjoy the thought of being caught?”

Intrigued was an understatement as we broached the treeline. I sat her back to her feet, holding her steady as she regained her balance for a moment. As she lifted her head, her eyes shot daggers into me, fury written clear as day across her pretty face.

“What the hell are you doing, Niko?” she seethed, hands on her hips and tits heaving with every breath she took. She was utterly magnificent in her outrage.

“You said you wanted fun. So, I decided youdeserved that very thing.” I shrugged nonchalantly, my hands finding their way to my back pockets as I rocked back on my heels.

“And how does that include me being naked out in the fucking yard?”

“Well, you aren’t technically naked out in the yard. You’re in the woods.”

“But still naked.”

“And isn’t that the best part?” My eyes narrowed, pinning her with a devilish look that relayed my desire for her.

“And now that you have me out here inthe woods, naked and alone, what exactly is your plan, buddy?” Crossing her arms over her chest, she stared me down. My gaze flicked lower, expecting to find her literally tapping her foot on the ground in frustration. However, my gaze never did make it past her tits. The way her arms were crossed pushed them together, making me want to drop her to the ground right here and now to take my fill of her.

“Well, the plan is to play a little game,” I began.

“What kind of game?”

“Let’s call it… hide and seek,” I answered, feeling inspired and ready to play. It wasn’t often I was able to let go and let my lighter side take over, but with Maddy around, that part of me seemed to be constantly champing at the bit.

“Hide and seek? Out here? In the middle of the day?” She asked with a scoff.

“Yes, to all the above. But you forgot one key part of this game.” My lips curled into a sinister smile.

“Oh, and what’s that?”

“You’re naked. I’m not.”

“And that makes you happy.”

“Deliriously so, princess.”

“So what, you’re going to turn around while I go hide? This sounds lame.”

“Not on your life, princess.”

“So then, how does this work?”

“You. Run.” I growled low in my chest, narrowing my eyes at her as I crouched down, ready to pounce.
