“Corinne,” I rasp, pulling her into me as I shove my face against the nape of her neck, breathing her in like a maniac. She whimpers, rubbing her fucking ass against my cock as I rivet her in place, water pounding on both of us.
“Jesus, Corinne.” My teeth sink into her soft neck, and then I kiss her. Savor that first fucking taste. “You’re killing me.”
I drop the cloth, fingers digging into her abdomen as I pull her closer, my cock slipping in between her thighs. Back and forth. Torturing me.
“I think you like it.” Her voice is soft and breathy. She slides her hand down, fingers slipping along the underside of my cock as I strangle another groan.
“No, Corinne,” I growl, molding my hand over her tit, perfect little mound that fits squarely in my palm. “I love it.” I slide my hand down her belly. She gasps as my middle finger finds her slick folds, her sensitive nub, already throbbing for me. I nip at her as she shivers against me, her fingers still working against my shaft.
“And I fucking love you.”
The words come out of me effortlessly, and I mean each one. From the moment I laid eyes on her, I knew it. Felt it. Lived it. This girl is the one. The only one. There will be no others except for her. And if she doesn’t want me, I’ll be a broken man, but that won’t change a thing. There’s no one else in this world for me but her.
“W-what?” she breathes as I work my finger against her. She’s breathing heavily, grinding against me. Needy. Hungry.
“I love you, sweet girl. I’ve known it from the moment I laid eyes on you. This isn’t a one-time thing. This isn’t something I ever do. This…” I feel like I need to drop down to my knees, worship Corinne as she deserves, but it won’t be enough. Words can’t begin to describe the way I feel for her.
“You’re the only one for me.”
She doesn’t speak. Doesn’t move.
My heart shatters, and it’s taking everything inside me not to crumble.
Chapter 8
Corinne
Oh.My. God. I don’t know what to think. I don’t know what to do. I…
My body is on fire, not only from Maverick’s deft fingers, lips, and tongue, but those three little words. He loves me? That’s insane. But what’s even crazier is that I feel the same way. I’ve been trying to ignore the feeling, but it’s hard when I get a giddy, fluttery feeling in my core every time I see Maverick.
“Corinne…”
His hands fall from me. His voice sounds broken.
“I’m sorry. It’s crazy. I know. I’m not thinking straight.”
“Maverick don’t—” I burst out as I turn, swallowing the rest of the words when I see him. This man is magnificent in every way, but right now his physicality is making me speechless. The man has muscles built like mountains, each one covered in dark hair. There’s so much power in them. Dripping wet. And all I want to do is drag my tongue across each one.
This was not what I expected would happen today. I’d applied a new temporary tattoo before we left on our hike.SeizeThe Day!But after a long day, all that remains isSeize The D,and as I stare at Maverick, it’s taking on a whole new meaning.
I glance at his ‘D,’ because how can I not? It’s the size of my damn forearm.
FOCUS! Maverick just laid his heart out, and all you’re thinking about is his hard-on!
I clear my throat. One last… NO!
Eyes up, chin up…
“Maverick…” I begin, but emotions start bubbling up through my chest and throat, and I stop. So instead, I collapse against him, hooking my arms around him and hugging him tightly. He feels so good. And when he grunts, wrapping his arms around me, it feels perfect. Like we’re meant to fit together like this.
“You might be crazy.” My voice feels soft and flimsy, but I feel stronger with his arms around me. “I mean, who has a raccoon for a pet?”
Maverick chuckles softly. “You’re not wrong.”
“But you’re not crazy for what you said. Or what you feel. Or if you are, consider me an absolute lunatic because I feel it too.”
I swallow hard. Maverick’s cock bounces against my stomach.Whew.
