I cut her off again, that fucking mouth driving me crazy as I pull her through the endless space between us, dragging the knuckles of my other hand up and down her cheek.
“I’ll thank your friends later.”
She smells like heaven and peonies with a cherry on top, and I want to eat her alive.
Her nipples harden against my chest as I look down, sizing her up like she’s the prey and I’m the starving, stalking predator.
Words start flowing from her mouth in a sweet cascade. She starts talking about everything and nothing, and I soak up every word. She tells me how she’s here for her annual three-day vacation with friends from culinary school. How her plane was delayed and she missed dinner. Things about her restaurant and her family. I commit it all to memory, then feel the pressure in the air change.
She flattens her hands on the sides of her head. “Man, that tequila has done something to me, because I never talk this much. Especially to a stranger.”
My pathetic, loveless life flashes through my lust-addled mind when her fingers graze her lips and she giggles. My vision blurs and I want to hear her laugh like that every fucking day. I look down at the nape of her neck, drinking in the way it slopes down to her collarbone, her chest.
As my hand moves up her arm, she shifts and leans away, but I need this right now. Her flesh on my fingers is just the beginning. I want it all. Every part of her will belong to me.
She’s making a little giggling, gasping sound as I hold her steady against me. There’s the distant sound of whoops and yelps, but none of it means anything right now.
“Any of those fucks your boyfriend? Girlfriend? No ring, so…”
“Why do you want to know?” she stammers. “Maybe they are all my boy and girlfriends. It’s a group thing. That’s all the rage right now, right? Poly-whatever.”
“No,” I snap.
Just the thought of her with anyone else, let alone a group, has a rage boiling inside me.
“No? No, what? You don’t know what poly is?”
What’s wrong with me? All I can think about is getting her naked underneath me and driving into her like I’m drilling for oil. I’m raw and losing control, I need to let her go, but I don’t think I can…
“I’m going to kiss you,” I rumble, and her mouth drops open.
As I lean down, lightning flashes in the sky, raindrops starting to fall as thunder rolls, but before I can get my lips on hers, there’s a wild ‘yee haw’ from my left. One of her friends, some guy who has been way overserved, comes up behind her, his hands moving in a flash, then the crowd in the pool screams and claps in unison.
The moment is broken as he races away on a high-pitched hoot, jumping in the pool, twirling her bikini top over his head.
Fuck. Someone is going to die.
Chapter Three
Sophia
“Wait!” I yell as I’m spun around.
A black t-shirt is popped over my head and my damp hair falls around my face as my feet lose contact with the ground.
The mood and the weather changes in an instant.
Wind whips around my wet skin, rain covering me in huge, cooling droplets as I feel my belly mounted on Chance’s shoulder. He’s moving fast, and I’m dizzy from the tequila and the way my head is hanging down over his now bare back.
The music and voices fade as he moves us away from the crowd, his hand gripping tightly on my nearly-bare ass. Everything is suddenly chaos as I try to breathe and puzzle together what’s happening.
Harold took off my bathing suit top, which seemed to ignite the sky’s rage. Lightning flashed, rain came down in sheets, thunder boomed, and the bubbling fury of the dark man who was about to kiss me culminated with him battling between getting me covered up and killing Harold.
Thankfully for Harold, he opted for covering me first, then tossing me over his shoulder.
“Hey, I’m fine! You can put me down now. I’m not some damsel in distress. They’re just tits.”
“They are not just tits.”
