I walked back up toward the towels.I’d bought Jade a bathing suit on the way to the beach.It was pale blue and hugged her curves just right, and all I could think about was taking it off of her.

I handed Amy the phone.

Slade looked up over his shoulder.“What did he want?”

I shook my head, letting him know that it wasn’t anything I wanted to bring up in front of Amy and Jade.When the time was right, I’d let Jade know about the reward.But for now, I had no intention of letting her out of my sight.She had the night off tonight, but I would tell her before her next shift.If everything went smoothly on our drop tomorrow, I’d be back in time to head over to Lazy Daze for some beers.Lucky for me, she was working at my usual hangout.

I lowered my hand for her to take.“There are some cool tide pools on the other side of that outcropping of rocks.Feel like taking a walk?”

She slipped on the sandals she’d picked to go with the bathing suit.I liked the idea that I’d bought her everything she was wearing.It was stupid and cocky and I couldn’t even explain it, but I liked it.She’d warned me that the one thing she didn’t want was to be owned, and yet, all I could think about was that I wanted her to be mine and mine alone.No woman had ever gotten into my head that way, and I didn’t mind.I was in no mood to fight it.

Hand in hand, we walked to the rocks that jutted out from the cliffs and into the sea.It was a place where sea lions, pelicans and giant crabs came to soak up the sun and pick up tasty morsels carried in by the tide.I climbed onto the first rock and turned around to help her up.

“They’re slippery, and there are a lot of deep cracks, so watch where you step.”

She stared down at the small pools created by the natural indentations in the rocks.When the tide came in, little fish and crabs filled the puddles.Jade crouched down.“These little guys have their own little ocean right here on this rock.”She watched the tiny fish scooting around in their mini habitat.

I reached in and scooped up a tiny crab.She reached over and touched it.“It’s amazing to think all these little worlds exist right in the midst of our own world.”

“When we were younger, Slade and I used to spend hours out here trying to catch critters.Our shoulders would have big red blisters from the sun.We’d never catch much, but we never got discouraged.”

I straightened.Again, I offered her my hand.Her hand felt small and frail in my grasp as I led her across the rocks.We jumped off onto the soft wet sand, and I led her to a massive crevice in the cliffs.We stepped inside.

Jade looked up and spun around, looking like an excited little girl.We were nearly completely surrounded by towering walls created by bands of shale and sandstone.The air inside the roomy fissure was cold.Jade wrapped her arms around me to get warm.

“Seems like I’m always stealing your body heat,” she said.“This place is cool.It’s so?—”

“Private?Remote?Hidden from everyone’s prying eyes?”

She smiled up at me.“Colt Stone, what do you have in that dirty mind of yours?”

I slid my hand into her bikini bottoms.“I think you know.It’s been a helluva long time since you’ve been naked in my arms, and frankly, I’m dying to get between your thighs again.”I pushed the suit, and it dropped to her ankles.

“It’s been three hours at the most.Shit, you’re right.That is a long time.But we’re out in the open.”She reached down to grab the bikini bottoms, but I caught her wrist.

“We’re standing in a mountain, and no one’s around.Most people don’t even know about this place.”

She raised a brow at me.“And just how do you know about it, or should I ask?”

I lifted her chin.“You shouldn’t ask.”I lowered my mouth to hers.Her lips parted instantly.She was always so willing, so ready, that it made me want her that much more.I reached down between her legs.She mewled against my mouth as my fingers slid through the folds of her pussy.It was slick with moisture.“Hmm, baby, is that for me?”

“Uh huh,” she said softly.“It’s all for you, Colt.”

“Step out of those bikini bottoms, baby.I have to have you right this fucking minute.”

She stepped free of her bikini.I pulled her hands out to the sides and stared down at her.She looked so tiny and vulnerable within the steep, massive walls of the crevice.

I dragged my gaze away from her sweet pussy.She looked a little uneasy, but her blue eyes were dark with need.And I knew that need was throbbing between her legs.“Ask me, baby.Tell me what you want.I want to hear it from those perfect, plump lips.”

“I want you, Colt,” she said so softly it was nearly lost in the rock cavern.

“What do you want, darlin’?Tell me.”

“I want you to fuck me.”She wrapped her arms around my head and kissed my neck and chest.“Shit, I want you so badly, Colt, it’s all I can think about.You inside of me, holding me, kissing me,” her voice wavered.“I can die today if I can die naked in your arms.”A quiet sob bubbled from her mouth.I took hold of her face and gazed down at her.Her blue eyes were wet with tears.

“Shh, baby, no tears.”I held her against me.“It’s what I want too.It’s like you’ve reached inside my chest and taken hold of my heart.If you ever let go, I’m going to fucking die.”

I kissed her long and hard.Her body trembled in my arms, but it wasn’t from the cold.
