His gaze dropped down between thighs to where he could probably see just how swollen she was. Just how wet she was.
His eyes heated and his nostrils flared.
Then, that fucker did something she would never forget. He put the vibrator in his mouth and sucked off all her arousal.
Her mouth opened until her jaw nearly unhinged.
He closed his eyes for only a couple of seconds, but it was enough.
“I’ll go wash this for you,” he said, then he disappeared out of the bedroom, leaving her once again turned on and sexually frustrated.
Every time Decker thought about their morning, he’d smile, then get a boner.
Watching Joanna get herself off was one of the hottest things he’d ever seen in his fucking life. Then putting her toy in his mouth and watching her reaction just made the whole thing even better.
But now that he’d gotten a taste of her, he was like a fucking addict and wanted more.
They’d spent the last five days really getting to know each other.
He knew she was frustrated, but at the same time, he also knew she really appreciated his effort.
She wasn’t just some random fuck.
She was special.
She was someone he wanted a connection with.
But maybe it was time.
They were going for a hike when she finished teaching. He packed them a picnic and Asher told him about a great little lake in the mountains. It was only a twenty-minute drive from the ranch, then a three-mile hike in. Not many people knew about it, since there were no trails into the lake, but after flying over it in Cal’s helicopter, Asher and Nate had covertly marked a trail using a technique that only their SEAL team knew. So Decker would have no problem following the markers, but Joe Blow the civilian might.
He packed blankets and towels, condoms and lube and anything else they might need for their date. Like a good Boy Scout turned Navy SEAL, you could never be too prepared.
She was back inside the farmhouse shortly after one o'clock, and ready to go by one-forty.
They borrowed one of the many trucks on the ranch and hit the road with the sun in the rearview mirror and blue sky ahead of them.
He reached for her hand across the bench seat. “This morning was fun.”
She blinked, then pink filled her cheeks. “It was. But after what you did with my toy, it just piled the tension right back on.”
He snorted. He loved her honesty.
“I’ve had an erection all fucking day,” he said blandly. “Made mucking stalls a little uncomfortable.”
She snickered. “Serves you right.”
He squeezed her fingers, then returned his hand to the wheel. “Do you hike much?”
Her derisive snort told him she did not. Luckily, Asher said the hike wasn’t difficult, it just involved a bit of bushwhacking.
They rode the rest of the way to the parking spot in companionable silence. It wasn’t awkward. She stared happily out the window and he enjoyed just sitting beside her in the truck.
Parking the truck in the shade, and where he knew it would stay shady, he climbed out.
She did the same.
Slinging the backpack over his back, he took a quick moment to admire the way the sun on her face made the blue in her eyes glitter. She wasn’t wearing any makeup, and she’d probably have a few more cute freckles on her cheeks and shoulders after today.
