She swallows. “Truth.”
“What were you thinking when you saw me in the shower that night?”
“I ... I was thinking about how sexy you looked.” Her chest rises and falls with her rapid breaths. “The sounds you were making.”
I inch closer until her body is flush against mine. “Now ask me.”
“Truth or dare, Bryce?”
“Truth.” I tip her chin. “Ask me what I was thinking in the shower that night.”
Her hands slide up my arms, and grip onto my shoulders like she’s bracing herself for the answer. “What were you thinking about?”
My thumb skims over her bottom lip. “I was thinking about you.”
“Why?”
“Because you’re just as beautiful inside as you are on the outside. Because I can’t get you out of my head. Because you’re so incredibly sexy. Because you make me feel alive again.”
She shivers, and brings her mouth closer to mine. “Will you kiss me now?”
“I’ve thought about nothing else since the moment I met you.” I dip my head, and press my lips against hers. My skin crackles like a live wire, every nerve ending in my body lighting up at once. I snake my hand around her waist, keeping her close to me, while the other cradles the back of her head. I kiss her slow and gentle as I tremble with trepidation, unsure of what we’re getting ourselves into by giving in to our desires, the lines we’re crossing that can’t be uncrossed.
Should we be doing this?
This summer will end in the blink of an eye.
And then what?
She leaves, and I go back to a life without sunshine.
But her silky lips on mine feel too good to stop, and I lose all semblance of logic and reality. I let go of the what-ifs and the questions, and I grip her harder, sliding my tongue over her mouth, longing to taste her. She lets out a soft moan as she opens for me and deepens our kiss. That sound spurs me on. Sparks fly around us as we rocket into space, letting our lips and hands guide the way, taking what we want and reveling in it. The earth around us fades away, until nothing is left but the two of us.
My tongue delves inside her mouth, again and again, and Charly matches my urgency, fisting her hands in my hair, holding me where she wants me. I walk her backward until her shoulders hit the tree, pressing myself against her. She gasps for air as I kiss down her neck, inhaling her sweet peachy scent that’s been killing me since the day she walked into my house.
Charly rolls her hips. “Bryce.”
My dick hardens even more at the sound of my breathy name whispered in my ear. I pull back to look into her eyes, into the raw hunger reflecting in them. Her lips are swollen, her neck red from my beard scraping against her delicate skin.
“You’re the most beautiful thing I’ve ever seen.”
She grasps my face between both of her hands, her eyes bouncing between mine. “You’re beautiful too, Bryce. Your caring heart, your thoughtful mind.” She lets her hands slide down and roam over the contours of my arms holding her in place. “Your incredible body.”
I claim her mouth again, and our tongues tangle in sensual, languid strokes. As much passion as I’m pouring into her, she’s giving it right back, letting me feel the truth in her words.
If it weren’t for the twinges in my back sending a tingling sensation down my legs, I’d pick her up and hold her in my arms as we kiss under this tree all night. But I have to listen to my body.
I break the kiss once more. “Will you lie under the stars with me?”
Without questioning it, she takes my hand and leads me to the tent. I drag out the air mattress and set it by the fire. We crawl inside, facing one another, entwining our legs.
And we lose ourselves in a kiss for hours under the moonlit sky.
Charly
Waking up wrapped inside Bryce’s arms is the best thing I’ve felt in a long time.
So is his kiss.
