His thigh is between my legs before I drop. Hard muscle pressing up into me. Steady. Holding me up.
"Ride it."
"I don't—"
"Yes you do. You've been thinking about me. I've smelled it on you. Ride it."
I make a sound I'll have to disown later and my hips roll against his thigh and he groans against my neck, low and pleased.
"Good." His teeth on my earlobe. "Keep going. I want to watch you do it."
I can't stop if I wanted to. My hips moving, my hands pulling at his hair, his thigh flexing up to meet me, and he's talking the whole time—filthy against my ear.
"This is what you needed. Isn't it. Somebody's hands on you. Someone telling you when to stop moving and when to keep going. You've been begging for it without knowing."
"Keer, please—"
"Please what?"
"I don't know I don't know please—"
"I do."
His hand leaves my breast and slides down my stomach and his fingers hook into the waistband of my trousers.
"I'm going to put my hand on you now. Inside you. I'm going to make you come on my fingers against this tree and then I'm going to do it again. You're not leaving this forestuntil you've come on my hand at least twice. Nod if you understand."
I nod so hard my head hits the bark.
He shoves my trousers down my hips. His hand between my legs.
His fingers find me wet and the sound he makes—
"Fuck."
He drops his forehead against mine and his eye closes for a beat, and when he opens it he looks at me like he's going to ruin me.
"You're soaked, Melori. Look at that. All of that for me."
"I—"
"Don't be shy now. You're going to come apart on my hand in about thirty seconds and you want to pretend this isn't what you've been wanting."
"It is—goodness, it is—"
"I know it is."
One finger slides into me and my whole body arches against him. Then two. His palm grinding against me, his thumb finding the spot that makes me sob.
"That's my girl. Take it."
"Keer—I can't—"
"You will. You're going to. Right now."
His fingers curl inside me. His mouth finds mine and swallows the noise I make when he hits something that undoes me.
"Come on my hand, baby. Do it."
