“I don’t know what you’re talking about.”

His eyes moved up and down my body, as he began to walk around me, causing me to hold my breath. His hand touched my flower crown, advancing to my hair before brushing my lower back as he circled me.

“Don’t pretend you didn’t wear this dress for me, that you don’t look thisgorgeousjust to drive mecrazy. After everything I’ve told you, everything I’ve warned you about.”His fingers brushed my collarbone, stroking my moonstone pendant before trailing lower to my cleavage.

I set my eyes on his face, making him lift his gaze from my chest.“What if I did? What would you do about it?”I asked.

He fought a smirk by licking his lips instead. Stepping back, he extended his hand, jutting his jaw upwards.“Give me your panties.”

Sensing he didn’t think I would, I reached for the hem of my dress toteasehim. He set his jaw in testing domination. I shimmied mycheekywhite underwear down my legs, stepping out of the fabric before placing it in his open hand. Grabbing the material, he cocked an eyebrow.“They’rewet.”

I stepped closer, refusing to break eye contact.“Don’t act like you’re not anticipating something, too.”I shoved my hand into his front pocket, finding the tell-tale wrapper of a condom, its sharp edges stabbing my fingertips. I pulled it out between my pointer finger and middle finger, holding it between us sassily like some trophy. His eyes pierced mine as he drew in a deep breath, tucking my panties in his back pocket.

“Come and get it,”I said before turning to run. A freeing giggle ripped through my chest as I dodged trees and tried not to step on pinecones. Looking over my shoulder, I saw Carson standing still, giving me a head start. Dodging to the right to confuse him, the snapping of twigs behind me announced his hunt.

I picked up my pace before darting to the left. Hearing him hot on my trail, I sprinted to the right, then hid behind a tree. He passed me and circled back, almost catching me while I squealed, bolting away in a new direction. The solstice sunset streamed ingoldenrays through the forest, and the distinct smell of earth clung to the air.

I ducked behind another tree, fleetingly worried my dress was gettingdirty, but I didn’t care. I’d rather getdirtywith Carson than anything else. Hearing him approach, I bolted away from the tree, giving away my location with my dress flowing behind me while I lifted it to sprint. I pumped my legs as fast as I could run in my sandals, gaining more ground than he probably expected.

I pushed the flower crown on my head while looking over my shoulder with no Carson in sight, so I headed in a different direction. The forest was darker now, the rays of the sun unable to pierce through the thickness of the trees. Everything turned emerald and oak around me, with softer vegetation on the ground and the distant burble of a river.

Suddenly, Carson appeared from the right, his velvety voice declaring,“Gotcha,”as he grasped my waist possessively, pulling me against him. I gasped when our chests pressed together before our lips met with a desperatekiss. He hauled us backward, leaning against the trunk of a mature tree. Standing on my tippy toes, all but dragging my tits up his ribs, my arms encircled his neck.

His hands were on either side of my body, running up my waist and back down to my hips. Through the thin fabric of my dress, I could feel the warmth of his body heat. I craved more of it. One of his hands cupped my face while he broke thekissto whisper,“I see you, Rosie.”He kissed more frantically.“I will always see you.”

I knew what he meant; he saw meignoredat the party. I kissed him back.“And I hear you, even when you’re quiet.”

He groaned, clutching me tighter against his brawny body, our kisses deepening. I loved the lightheaded feeling when our lips met. Kissing Carson was one of the only joys I had experienced this year.

He broke the kiss again, “I’m all in.”

I nodded in earnest agreement, replying breathily, “All in.”

My mouth brushed down his thick, muscular neck, my teeth grazing his Adam’s apple right below the line of his stubble before I moved to his ear and nibbled, causing a rumbly groan to vibrate his chest.

His large hands floated under my dress to grab mybareass. I reached for his cock, rubbing it over his pants, dizzy at how thick it felt. Without pretense, he lowered us to the forest floor, bracing the back of my head with one of his hands. As he hovered over me, the necklace swung out of his shirt. My stomach rolled with too many emotions as I caught the chain, pulling him closer. He nuzzled my neck, moving downwards withwetkisses. I grabbed the back of his shirt and tore it off, wafting hisyummyscent all around. His chest emerged, broad and solid with theperfecttrace of hair. I leaned up and kissed it, yanking at his belt.

He grabbed my hands and leaned back down, playfully pinning them above my head while he returned to kissing me. My legs widened, inviting him to settle between them. His roughened palms skimmed the sensitive skin on the back of my arms before they hooked the straps of my dress, tugging the fabric down while he kissed lower on my chest. Newly freed, my nipples puckered against the crisp air.

Drinking me in, he braced himself with one hand as he traced a row of fingers against the curvature of my breast with the other before flashing me a hungry look. “You’re so perfect, every inch of you,” he whispered before grabbing the breast and swirling his tongue across the other.

“That feels so good,”I breathed, raking my hands through his hair while looking down at him. A throbbing between my legs caused my hips to move in a needy grind against his body as he continued flicking his tongue against my nipple, dragging his teeth against the bud before sucking it. I shuddered, feeling oversensitive and craving more as he continued to nuzzle, rub, and tease my tits until I twisted underneath him in anticipation.

He continued running a hand down my body, his fingers tracing paths along my inner thighs. I spread my legs wider, tilting my hips to urge him on, and when his hand feathered over my center, we both groaned.

“So hungry for it,” he rasped as his fingers slid through my drenched pussy.

“Touch me,” I whispered, too proud to beg or agree. As if testing me, he rubbed right over my aching clit, silencing my gasp with a kiss. His pattern was gentle andperfectas I pressed against his hand, wanting more. One of his fingers sank into me, slowly filling me before trailing back to my clit.

His kisses moved lower as he pushed up my dress and gazed at my center.“You’re sogorgeous,”he said, kissing my hip bones.

I pushed at histrapmuscles, knowing time was of the essence.“You don’t have to—”

“I want to,”he said with a dark look, clutching my hips to move me to a softer spot beneath the tree before he draped my legs over each shoulder, all but dragging his chest against the earth. I ran my hands through his hair as he trailed kisses closer to my pussy, gently blowing on it, making me squirm. I writhed even more as his beard scratched against my sensitive skin, the anticipation peaking.

Finally, he pressed a confidentkissagainst me, licking slowly from core to clit. My gasp turned into a moan at the sensation. A low hum filled the back of his throat, rumbling against me, making me grasp his arm. He continued moving his mouth over me, pulling back for a moment only to murmur,“Youtasteso damn good. I will never forget this.”

My mind sputtered as my body melted, unable to fight thepleasure. He continued with gentle licks and kisses, letting me adjust to him. Then his tongue became more probing, eventually adding fingers curved towards his mouth, both parts of him hitting me in a mind-numbingly addictive way.
