She broke the kiss, out of breath.
“From now on, you don’t need to ask. Just kiss me anytime you want. I’m here, and you’re here and we—”
He covered her mouth, swallowing her words. She could possibly be thinking too much and definitely talking too much. She wanted to enjoy this, enjoyhim. She wanted to luxuriate in his hard body pressed against hers, the hard rough feel of his beard stubble as he lowered his head to her neck and kissed her there. Then skimming down the column of her neck, too, down to the cup of her bikini top. He tugged her hips flush against his so she could feel how hard she’d made him. When he gently sank his teeth into her earlobe she moaned.
“Sorry. I’m going too fast,” he breathed.
“No, you’re not. Not fast at all.”
“It’s just you drive me insane. I’m crazy about you.”
“Same, cowboy. And this is the healthy kind of crazy.”
“You better believe it.” He brought her face inches from his, hauling her by the nape of her neck. “Have you had enough swimming for now?”
“Oh, yes. Yes.”
She chased him from the river back to the house, where once inside they each peeled off what little clothes they had on and tried to make it to the bedroom.Triedbeing the operative word. Because just inside the front door, Colton pressed her up against the wall.
He pinned her there and for the next few minutes sent her straight to orgasm heaven. If he was going too fast, so was she. This happened to be exactly what she needed now. Hard and fast.
They didn’t quite make it to the bedroom.
Jennifer laynaked and quite slayed over an equally bare-skinned Colton, thinking that she’d never in her life felt this safe, or this…wanted. Adored. Today, he’d searched her eyes with such tenderness it made her ache. She might be the stem but he treated her like a precious petal and in this case she would go along with it.
Colton had whispered sweet and filthy words of how beautiful she was, how much he wanted her, how good he was going to make this for her. He’d delivered every time, making her skin tight and bones elastic. She was spent but couldn’t wait to do this all over again.
“Okay?” Colton murmured against her temple.
“Oh, yeah. I just wish we’d been doingthissince day one.”
He snorted. “You and me both.”
“I want to do it every day, three times a day if we can.” She buried her face in his warm neck.
“I’ll see if I can keep up with your insatiable demands, woman. You are a lot younger than me.”
Funny, she didn’t feel much younger. “Only ten years and I’m sure you can more than keep up.”
“If not, just know that I’ll die trying.”
It was way past time for dinner, the sun had set a while ago, but she wasn’t even hungry. Colton had been notorious about cooking and feeding her on a regular schedule but even he hadn’t noticed. The knowledge filled her with more than a small amount of satisfaction. She’d been a good distraction from his regular routine and the thought brought about a warm and heavy pulse of delight.
“Hey,” Colton said, his hand gliding up and down her spine. “When you take photos of Eve’s clinic, you should take some time and talk to her.”
“Sure, I will. She’s easy to talk to. About what? Anything in particular?”
“About Dan.”
“What?” Jennifer’s head whipped up and she met Colton’s eyes. “Why? That’s the last thing I want to do.”
“I think it would be good.”
“No! I said I didn’t want anyone to know about my situation. We agreed.”
“I know. We agreed, and we can still keep it that way. You know you can trust me. But you can trust her, too, and if you confide in Eve, it might help. No one else has to know.”
“Why would I even do that?”
