“So you just think you saw a snake?”
“Uh, yeah.” I laughed. “I guess I should take a light next time, huh?”
“That would be a good idea,” he said, removing his hands from my shoulders.
He straightened his stance but didn’t move to take a step back.
I realized I was still latched onto his wrists. I didn’t want to let go of him just yet. The pulses of euphoria still tickled over my neck and down my spine from the flicks of light. The taste of hot nectar itched on my tongue. It was the taste of Gray Eyes on my tongue, but it was Logan I wanted to kiss.
“Charlie,” Logan whispered, tilting his chin down.
“Hmm?” I said.
I wondered what Logan would taste like.
“Are you sure you’re okay?” His breath smelled of cinnamon and dark whiskey.
I exhaled slowly, trying to release some of the energy from my body. Sliding my eyes up Logan’s broad chest, I met his stare.
He tilted his head, watching me intently. His lips were flattened into a stoic line again.
So serious… not the carefree surfer Logan I was hoping for.
Slowly, I reduced my pressure on his wrists. Breath by breath, I tried to slow my heartbeat. Finally, I released Logan’s hands and then swayed slightly, and reached for his chest.
My palm flattened against his taut torso, and Logan stilled like a statue.
I watched his chest rise before a low rasp came from his throat. “All right, bedtime for you. Too much whiskey.”
No. Not bedtime yet. It’s not the whiskey… I promise. It’s the lightning. It’s the thing inside me. And it feels too good to keep fighting.
I shook my head. The excitement ebbing through my body coursed to the surface. It was too much to resist. I smoothed my hands up his chest, to the back of his rough neck. Scraping a boot over the dirt, I stepped into his warmth and tentatively smiled up at him. “Please?”
It might be the light inside me making me reckless enough to ask, but it’s all me wanting him.
Logan tilted his head and leaned forward, stroking his arm up my back. I fluttered my eyes closed. I felt his warm lips boldly slide over mine. He didn’t hesitate to take control of the kiss.
His bottom lip seared over my mouth, and I went onto my toes, lifting myself to its seductive possession.
His large palm at my back pressed me into his chest, and he steadily deepened the pressure. His hand raked into my hair, tipping my head back to meet his kiss fully.
I sighed, tasting chocolate and spice. I wasn’t sure which flavor I liked more. All I knew was that I wanted to linger on every last bit.
Logan’s tongue flicked over my bottom lip once, twice, before I opened and sucked at it gently.
I felt his chest vibrate and heard his groan. The sound was as intoxicating as his kiss.
I tugged my hands into his scalp. My fingers tangled into his bound waves. I arched closer to his body, needing more.
Logan slipped his hands from my hair, down my back, and over my ass. He kneaded his hands over my hips before gripping them and hauling me of the ground. While dancing his tongue against mine, he strode to the closest cliff, and rested my back against the wall.
I felt the smooth rock against the blades of my shoulders as he held me tightly to the wall with his hips. I circled my legs around his waist and rolled my hips in a fluid motion against his.
Another deep moan rumbled from his chest. I liked the way I could tease that sound from him. His hands roamed over my thighs and waist before sliding under my thin shirt. They caressed over my scarred waist, up, over my ribs. I didn’t want Logan to feel the scars that the creature’s claws had left on my abdomen, too, but his touch was overwhelming all thoughts of sanity.
He explored a path from my mouth to my neck. He drew a small whimper from me. I didn’t even try to hold back the next cry when his beard scraped over my neck.
The contrast of his rough beard, followed by his wicked tongue, made my nails bite into his shoulders.
