Islide my hoodie off my shoulders and tie it around my waist. It's way, way too warm for a spring afternoon. Especially in the shade of the trees.
God, there are trees everywhere. I can't remember the last time I felt this surrounded by nature.
It's calm. Peaceful. Beautiful.
Walker chuckles as he gives me a long once over.
I clear my throat. "Yes?"
"I dig the look."
Okay, it's dorky as hell wearing my hoodie like this. But it's hot. "You're jealous."
"I am." He slideshishoodie off his shoulders and ties it around his waist. He turns and strikes a model-worthy pose. "How do I look?"
Ridiculous. But—"Still hot."
"It's my curse."
"How do you deal?"
"Some days, it's hard."
"Only some?"
He laughs as he slides his arms around my waist. His lips brush my neck. My cheek. He cups my ass over my shorts. "You wear this to drive me crazy, sweetness?"
"Maybe."
He presses his lips to mine. "You'll regret that."
I shake my head. I regret a lot of things. Too many. But not whatever I did to fill his dark eyes with all that desire.
He nips at my ear. "You drive me out of my fucking mind. You know that?"
My nod is heavy.
"Fuck. You're distracting me. Already forgot why we're here."
"Something about my love of hiking and your love of watching me come."
"Not helping." He chuckles. "You did that on purpose."
Definitely. I nod.
"Bad girl." He drags his fingertips over my ass and hips. "Are you wearing panties?"
"If I'm not, will that make you crazier?"
"Yeah." His voice drops an octave. "But you're coming on my hand either way."
"Now?" Now is good. Now is great.
He traces the outline of my panties, over my shorts. "No. Not until you're so desperate you're begging for it."
