I pull in a deep breath.
I should run.
“One.”
I don’t move.
Sterling’s fingers cover the light again, leaving the smallest glow visible.
“Two.”
This is really happening.
Excitement pounds through my veins.
So doesflight.
I spin.
He doesn’t say three.
And I don’t have time to shout my surprise before his big palm is over my mouth and his hard body is pressed against mine.
Chapter 73
Sterling
With one armwrapped around her middle, I walk us forward. The flashlight still in my grip bounces with every step, causing shadows to dart through the woods around us.
The hand I have pressed over her mouth muffles her sound of surprise.
I tip my head down, putting my lips against her ear. “Not fast enough, girl.”
I tighten my arm across her stomach, nearly lifting her feet off the ground.
Her hands clutch at my arm, and it’s just like when I pulled her off that ladder. Because she’s not trying to push me away.
She’s clinging to me.
And it’s divine.
Each step has her body bumping into mine. My hard-as-steel cock grinding into her rounded ass with each movement.
Only this time, I’m not letting her go until my hand is covered in her scent.

I can feel everything.
Everything.
And each stumbling step I take sends my heart rate higher.
“I need you to be quiet.” His breath against my skin is hot. “So I’m keeping my hand here.” He strokes his thumb across my cheek, letting me know he’s referring to the palm over my mouth.
Honestly, I’m glad he’s doing it. Because I’m not quiet.
