“Hey, Logan,” John coughed as he fought for breath, “I was thinking maybe the ladies should train with us, too.”
Cole laughed. “That’s not a bad idea.”
“But who’d be there to warm you when you get out?” Ivy called, and I pulled in my chin, amused by the tight little package not that far in front of me. It was odd to see her in jeans, but the way they hugged every curve, along with that cream-colored sweater, reminded me of what I had woken up to that morning before being summoned for this merciless trial at the lake.
“Jesus, Logan,” Mark shook as a tremor ran up his body, “my swimmers have officially taken residence in my stomach. Could we move this along?”
“Yeah, okay.” He grunted, and I knew he felt our pain. “On my command, you know what to do,” Cole called and waited another painful beat. “Up.”
We raced out of the icy lake, dove into the powdered snow, and rolled like an ice cube in what felt like warm snow. It was bizarre and hurt like hell, but I knew it wouldn’t last for long. With stick-like fingers, I shimmied into my clothes and fumbled to hold my weapon correctly.
I felt Ivy’s eyes on me, and it kept me moving. She had the ability to make me do and think crazy things.
Focus.
Four men with paintball guns were ready to fire if we exposed our locations before hitting the assigned targets. I hurried to the first point and dropped to my knees while the others did the same at their marks. I breathed out long and slow as I lined up the scope with the bullseye and squeezed the trigger. Blue paint shockingly hit the center of the target. I heard the others fire off their colors but didn’t see who hit where. My knees had no interest in bearing my weight, so I rolled to the next mark just missing the three red shots that blew over my shoulder.
“Nice job, Beckett,” Daniel called as he waited for me to come into view. “Let’s see what else you got.”
“What the fuck!” Moore screeched and leapt about six feet in the air. Mark shot him three times in the side then fell and laughed his head off.
“That!” Mark sputtered with laughter then rolled as someone fired off a shot at him. “Welcome to the house, Moore!”
“It fuckin’ jumped at me,” Moore cursed as he tossed a kid’s toy as far as he could. Ah, yes, the famous Furby. I inched forward and nabbed the little shit, then tucked it inside my jacket. I wanted to be in on that game.
Mike let out a string of curse words as he stepped outside the training area covered in yellow paint.
“You’re a big guy, Irons!” Frank called as looked at this phone screen.
“I’m like a frozen buffalo. I can’t make myself be small!” he grunted over his shoulder and disappeared inside the house.
I waited for John to join me, and we both signaled we’d fake left and go right. Of course, Daniel would be on to that, so instead I willed a higher power and we both raced backward. The red shots fired left as we expected, and just as we rounded the corner of the next barrier, red drops rained down on us, but none made contact.
“Nice,” Daniel called and motioned for us to head inside. “Your job is done.”
I toed off my boots at the door and headed for the stairs. Suddenly, a strange vibe went through me. I looked over my shoulder and saw Frank on the phone. He made eye contact with me, then he and Cole headed to his office. I hadn’t noticed Cole leave the training area to come inside. Whatever it was it seemed important, though. The pins and needles in my legs made everything ache, and my muscles screamed at me to move, so I jogged down the hall and eyed Ivy’s closed door. I’d lost track of her after I moved to the obstacle course. I listened to hear the coast was clear then hid the Furby in my drawer with a chuckle.
I heard a noise behind me as I turned on the water then dimmed the lights in the bathroom to nearly dusk. My senses told me I wouldn’t be alone for long. I sidestepped into the closet and quickly peeled off my jacket, shirt, and socks, and that was when I saw her. I moved to the door and peaked through the crack. She tiptoed toward the glass of the shower and slowly opened the door. She’d changed into her classic silk blouse, and when a puff of steam found her plump breasts, the moisture outlined them as the fabric clung to her skin.
“Wait, what?” She huffed when she saw it was empty.
I came up behind her, wrapped my arms around her body, lifted her into the shower, and pressed her body against the tiles.
“Ty!” she yelped. “I’m in my clothes!”
“Mm, and I’m still in my pants.”
I pulled her wet hair back and kissed her slender neck and up to the back of her ear. That was one of my favorite spots to kiss because of how her body always responded. She’d breathe heavily and grant me a tiny moan, almost as if it was unintentional.
“You think you can sneak up on me?” I grinned as I slid my hands around her front and undid her pants. My body fed off her warmth. “I felt you even before I heard you, baby.” My fingers inched their way into her panties and slid inside her. She yelped, and I groaned and pressed my erection into her back.
“You’re freezing, Ty,” she half whimpered through her moan.
“Exactly. And I need you to warm me.” I rubbed some feeling back into my fingers while I held her there with my body. “Take your blouse off,” I ordered, and she did without hesitation. She also unclipped her bra from the front and tossed it aside.
Immediately, my hands moved to her plump breasts and gave them a gentle squeeze. My body hummed as heat flooded through my veins. Her desire built as her little moans and pants soon had my head spinning. Any memory of the cold was gone now, flushed out by her.
“Your body is my weakness,” I confessed. “Seeing you on the dock, in your tight little jeans, got me through that training.” I licked and sucked gently where her shoulder met her neck. “You should always be close to me.”
