His blond hair was highlighted orange and pink from the setting sun. His cheeks were flushed and slightly tanned from sunburn.
“You seem to be everywhere lately.” He pulled his hands from his pockets and rubbed his face.
Hope fluttered. Maybe he wasn’t as immune to me as I had imagined.
I took a step forward. “Why did you leave me in London?”
“I had to get back for training camp. You know that.”
“Liar. Just tell me you’re mad. Just tell me that you hurt over what happened.”
He clenched his jaw. His nostrils flared and his eyes pooled with tears.
He shook his head back and forth.
“Tell me.”
When he didn’t or couldn’t respond, I added painfully, “You never contacted me after that.”
“You made it pretty clear you didn’t want to move to Seattle,” he said quietly.
I stepped back again, in shock. “What are you talking about? You never even asked.”
“I was drafted by the Seahawks, where else would we go?”
“Oh my god, Jacob. You are not that dumb, are you?”
“You hooked up with your trainer pretty quick, shacking up with him back in Los Angeles.”
“Are you kidding me, right now?” I kicked water up at him.
‘You never seemed to have a shortage of men after that. It didn’t seem like I’d meant anything to you.”
I kicked water again, and he backed up. “Apparently, you are that dumb.”
He reached down, scooped up water in his hands and threw it at me.
I recoiled in shock from the cold. “You did not.”
He laughed, and I pushed him. “That’s not funny.”
He stumbled a bit into the water, stepping farther in to keep from falling. He reached for me. I tried to turn and run but he snagged me by the back of my fleece jacket. I fell, grabbing the neck of his shirt as a last attempt to gain my balance but it was to no avail—within seconds, I was completely submerged.
Gasping for breath, I clawed at him to help me right myself but he fell in on top of me.
After some thrashing about, we both struggled to stay above water and stumbled back to the shore.
Panting, I brushed my hair back from my face and glared at him. I shivered. His brow furrowed, he took two big strides toward me, grabbed my face with both hands and kissed me like he needed me to breathe.
He devoured me, pulling me in close. His hands were everywhere, whipping off my wet jacket and lifting me from my bottom.
He walked us backward into the shelter of the trees and rocks.
He put me down and clumsily pulled my T-shirt off. Lowering his head, he kissed the tops of my breasts. I moaned. I put my head back on a boulder, allowing him greater access. My bra strap fell off my shoulder and Jacob reached in to free my breast. “You are killing me.” He took my breast lovingly in his mouth. “You taste so good. I dream of you.”
I sighed.
His right hand dipped down the elastic waistband of my skort, squeezing my bottom. He groaned. His mouth met mine again and he moved his hand around to the front.
