Chapter 14

Noah prowled over Bailey as she lay stretched out on the sandy ground beside the pond, his hands running up and down her beautiful body. He’d fucked her beneath the waterfall and then taken her more slowly as he held her.

But this?

This time he planned to thoroughly examine her entire body, exploring all of her gorgeous curves. Tasting and teasing every part of her.

“Come closer,” she murmured, reaching for him.

“Not until I kiss you all over,” he said huskily, kissing his way down her collarbone, toward her full, beautiful breasts.

“Promise me things won’t be weird between us when we get back to Virginia Beach,” Bailey said, sighing in contentment.

“Weird? Why would they get weird?” He paused, glancing up to see her flushed face. The freckles that had spread across her cheeks looked even darker today, but it gave her a girlish innocence. Which was probably why she hated them. Her eyebrow ring gleamed in the sunlight as she turned toward him.

“Like if we’re both going to be in the same place, don’t bring another girl around or something. I just can’t see that after this. After us.”

Noah chuckled. “Why would I bring another woman around if you’re there?”

“Noah,” she said, rolling her eyes in exasperation.

“Bailey.”

“Look, I know how some of the guys on the team are,” she said. “Taylor told me herself that you’re never with the same woman twice. Heck, Mason was like that, too, before he and Taylor finally got together.”

Noah pinned her with a gaze. “Look, I’m not a saint. But why the hell would I bring another woman around if you were there?”

“I’m just saying—don’t. For both our sakes.”

Noah narrowed his gaze, searching her face. “We just had the most incredible sex of my entire life, and you seem to think I’d want to sleep with another woman?” He laughed, and she swatted at him. “I’m literally about to kiss your entire body from head to toe, and then make you come a couple more times.”

“I’m not saying you’d want to—just that things happen. People drift apart. Maybe we go back and hook up a few times—finish out this fling or whatever it is. We have some of the same friends—I just don’t want things to be awkward.”

Noah smirked. “You’re crazy if you think you’re getting rid of me that quickly. This, between us? This chemistry? It doesn’t just happen. I’ve never felt this way about someone before.”

“I know chemistry like this doesn’t just happen—I just. I was just trying to give you an out.”

He raised his eyebrows. “And if I don’t want an out? If I just want to be with you?”

Bailey looked up at him, stunned.

“Yeah, sunshine, I’m attracted as hell to you. I like to flirt with you and sleep with you in my arms. Take crazy fishing trips with you. But what just happened between us back there?” He cocked his head toward the waterfall, watching her eyes track his movement. “Stuff like that doesn’t just happen.”

“I’m scared,” she admitted.

He ducked lower and kissed her forehead, brushing his lips over her eyelids as they slid shut. “I won’t hurt you, sunshine.” His cock hardened as his body rubbed against hers, and then he was moving over her. Parting her thighs. “I’ll never hurt you.”

She spread her legs wider for him, glancing up at him with wide, innocent green eyes. In that moment, she looked afraid. Vulnerable. And he wanted her to be more sure of him than anything else in her life. His hand drifted down to her bare sex, and he felt that she was wet and ready for him.

Ducking down, he kissed her, listening to her soft moans of pleasure. He lined his erection up with her core, and then he was sinking into her again. Her legs wrapped around his waist, holding him to her, and he pinned her hands up and over her head.

Their fingers twined together, and she gripped his hands tightly as he slowly pulled out and pushed back into her wet heat.

“Noah,” she whispered, gasping.

“I’ve got you, sunshine.”

Her pussy clamped down around his cock, and he knew he’d never felt anything better in his entire life. His eyes locked with hers, and he held her gaze as he made love to her, slowly pulling out and inching back inside.

She whimpered and writhed beneath him, and when he felt his balls begin to tighten, he began pumping faster. Harder. Bailey gasped as the base of his erection rubbed against her sensitive clit, and he ground himself against her, growling in approval.

“God, Noah!” she cried out.

He captured her cries with his mouth, and then he made her his, thrusting into her faster and faster until she was clenching around him, shuddering with her release. He stiffened and came inside her tight channel, his hot seed spurting forth.

She opened her eyes as she came back to reality, panting for breath, and he kissed her again, deeply.

“I kind of hope they don’t find us today,” she admitted a minute later.

“Me either, sunshine. Me either.”
