Regardless of the desire fanning inside my chest, and how my body feels more pulled to him than ever before, I hesitate.
He wants me in the springs with him… naked and entirely vulnerable. The thought alone is enough to cool me down slightly.
But then he’s right in front of me, gently shifting my legs to fit closer to me. He looks down at me, studying me with the kind of reverence I’ve never seen from him.
“It would be a shame if we didn’t utilize our resources while we’re here, right?”
When he draws even closer, nose fitting next to mine, my traitorous body eases into that contact all over again, and my skin warms as I feel so magnetized to his proximity.
Hunter looks at me through his dark lashes, gradually cutting more of that space with his lips so close to touching mine again. Patiently, like he’s giving me every chance to pull away, his hands return to my hips.
“Trust me, Tessa… just this once.”
Hearing my name in that quiet, almost breathless tone of his undoes me completely.
Banishing the space left between us, I press my mouth to his again, savoring every second of it. A pleased sound reverberates in his chest, and that only makes me want more.
Hunter’s hands slide beneath my top, hot skin meeting mine while he guides the material up. He cups one of my breasts through my bralette, and he hums.
My breath catches, and the spark of pleasure it brings me intensifies from the deeply passionate way he claims my lips. With him so sure of what he wants and needs, I let myself relax, and I let go of those doubts.
The shirt comes off me in one easy movement, and the kiss is broken for a beat before he returns, tasting every inch of my mouth.
The bra is removed from me next, followed by my bottoms, while I can’t think about anything other than how badly I want this. His hands are everywhere at once, mapping me before his fingers find the waistband of my panties.
His lips trail down my neck, surrounding me with everything him before he pulls them down.
Hunter slowly peels the fabric away from my body, eyes taking in every inch of skin that’s exposed to him. Once I’m bare, he carefully pulls me into the water with him, barely restrained desire fraying at the edges of his control.
The warm water envelopes me at once, and it works the remaining tension from my body despite being wound up tight with anticipation.
Looking up at him, everything else seems to vanish from this moment. Right now, it’s just the two of us, the soothing water, and the connection thrumming like holding in a bated breath.
Before long, Hunter is pulling me towards him with an arm wrapped around my back. The moment we press together, causing the water to slosh around us, his mouth is on mine again, and he’s kissing me deeply with a stifled groan. He’s starving for this, and so am I.
A shiver immediately scurries up my spine in response, and I give in.
I feel the rocks press against my back slightly as Hunter guides me, holding and gripping my body like he’s been waiting far too long to have this chance. His palms slide down my hips, and along my thighs, and when I part them subtly, something in him unleashes.
Mouthing at my neck again, he slides a hand lower, sending excited little jolts through me the farther he goes. When he reaches the apex of my thighs, my breath hitches, and I freeze.
Slowly, his fingers brush against my clit while he feels me, getting to know every inch and each response his touch elicits from me.
My pulse quickens alongside my panting breaths under the overwhelming attention. One hand grips the closest rock while the other grounds me against his waist, and I feel every flash of pleasure that moves through me.
When I moan quietly, Hunter huffs out a stained breath and continues. He kisses my shoulder and up my neck, almost tenderly in the way he does it.
His fingers move slowly yet steadily between my thighs, stirring more bliss in me with every second. The friction is incredible, yet it somehow isn’t enough either. Whether it’s greedy or not, I don’t care… I need more of him.
Almost like he reads my mind, Hunter captures my lips again just as he slides a finger inside me, using his thumb to rub against my at the same time.
My breath hitches before a more surprised sound slips from me, and he swallows it without hesitation.
Every subtle movement he makes consumes me, leaving me chasing after the incredible sensations. Before I know it, I’m moving my hips in search of more.
Of course, this only makes him double his efforts, gaining immense satisfaction from the way I’m keening for him. He hums, sounding more like wordless praises as he pushes me closer and closer to the edge.
My thighs clamp together as the tension mounts higher in me, and when my breath catches, sparks move behind my eyelids when it all gives way. Static runs through me at once, making me tremble through the rush of my release, and I grip Hunter tighter than I mean to.
