Page 29 of Bryson's Treasure

“The shimmer on the walls is small amounts of sunlight reflecting off the gold.” Bryson ran his fingers along a vein in the wall. “Kara decided she never wanted this section of the mine touched and wanted to preserve it. Her trust and the gold they’re pulling out will be enough to support six generations.”

“Did she quit her job?”

“Nope. She works in the ER.” Bryson bent down, pulled off his cowboy boots, and set them to the side. Next he went to work unbuttoning his shirt.

Lynn covered her eyes with her hand. “Why are you stripping?”

“I don’t want to get my clothes wet when I go into the spring.” He motioned to the large pond in the middle of the cave opening. Steam rolled off the top.

Lynn eyed the water for a second. She couldn’t see how deep it was or if something was in there. It was too dark to tell. She worried some creature might come and bite a part of her body she didn’t want to share with nature. “Have you gone in there before?”

Bryson walked past her, naked. She couldn’t help but stare at his tight ass as it flexed with each step toward the water. He said something, but her mind was so lost watching his every muscle move, she hadn’t caught what he said.

She cleared her throat. “I’m sorry. What did you say?”

Bryson sank into the water before turning. His lips twitched up. “Did you like the view?”

“I don’t know what you’re talking about.” She wasn’t going to let him have all the fun. She grabbed the bottom of her shirt and pulled it over her head. Leaning down, she quickly removed her shoes and jeans next. She stood in the middle of the mine in her bra and panties, and it was cold. “Is the water cold?”

“Come in and find out.” Bryson’s voice was husky.

She dipped her toes in the water, and it was warm. It felt like a lukewarm bath. She walked into the water until it was up to her waist. She reached behind her back and slowly removed her bra.

Bryson was next to her within seconds, and his strong arms wrapped around her. “You are the sexiest woman I’ve ever seen,” he whispered into her ear.

“You’re not too bad yourself,” she said before pressing her lips to his.

He cupped her butt with both hands, and she wrapped her legs around him. The water splashed around them, and the only thing she cared about was Bryson. Not the person who shot at them. Not her ex-husband, and not the million things going on in the world.

Lynn ran her hands through Bryson’s hair and deepened the kiss. Her breasts pressed against his chest. No matter how much she tried to pull him closer, she couldn’t get close enough.

Bryson slowly pulled them over to the edge of the water and sat down. She straddled his legs and captured his lips. Goose bumps rose on her flesh where his fingers ran down the small of her back before he cupped her ass.

His erection pushed against her belly, demonstrating he was as aroused as she.

After weeks of tiptoeing around their affection, she was ready to combust. If the kiss was anything to go by, she knew they were compatible and couldn’t wait to be together.

“When I asked you to come out here today, this wasn’t my plan.”

She smiled against his lips before pulling back. “You mean you didn’t plant a guy to take shots at us so I would hide with you inside a mine until it got dark so we could walk back?”

“Smart-ass.” Bryson sighed. “No, I didn’t think this through. I don’t have protection with me.”

Lynn leaned back and ran her fingers down his chest. “I have an IUD, and when I was rescued, I had a full panel of tests. I’m clean.”

Bryson reached up and combed a strand of hair behind her ear. “I was tested a few months ago, and I haven’t been with anyone since.” He leaned forward and ran kisses up her neck until he was right next to her ear. “I don’t want to rush you.”

Rush, she felt like they’d been taking their sweet time. The sexual tension had increased each day, and she didn’t want to wait any longer. She had no clue what tomorrow would bring, but she was willing to see where this led.

Lynn leaned forward and captured his lips. She reached between them and poised herself above his hard cock. “I want you,” she whispered into his mouth as she slowly lowered herself, taking every inch of his length into her. When he was fully in her, he grabbed her hips to stop her from moving.

“You feel so good,” he said. “Why did we wait this long?”

“Bryson,” she whined, wanting him to move his hands so she could move.

“You want something?” he asked before capturing her nipple between his lips. He relaxed his hands on her hips but didn’t remove them. “Slow,” he said around her nipple.

“I need you.” She arched her back, pushing her boob farther into Bryson’s mouth. “I love your lips on me.”
