She nodded. “The one and only.”
Something didn’t make sense. Everleigh was too young to be Sam Strand. I pushed for more information, hoping I didn’t sound suspicious. “You’re a legend; a saint. You’ve created careers for guys who never would’ve been able to play on their own. Everleigh, people need to know about this. They need to know this side of you.”
Everleigh led me to an industrial sink and turned on the tap, pumping some lavender-smelling foam soap into my palm. “Why?” She washed her hands thoroughly, but instead of drying them off, she rubbed her hands against mine, the soap lathering between our skin as she rubbed and cleaned each of my fingers. My cock throbbed, and I couldn’t stop myself from getting a semi just from Everleigh’s touch. It was sensual, yet not. Practical, yet not. With our hands under the running water, I leaned down to kiss her. Her lips were soft against mine, and while we kissed, she continued massaging my hands. It wasn’t like me to moan, but I couldn’t stop it.
Fuck. I was falling in love with the one woman I couldn’t have.
Her phone chimed, interrupting our kiss and breaking the spell. She turned off the water and handed me a monogrammed towel. She checked her phone. “It’s Dr. Wise.” She pointed to the screen. “Everything is going well, but he needs another hour or so.”
“Did he say—”
Everleigh held up the phone so I could read it. “Before you ask any more questions, this is all the information I have.”
“So what are we going to do for the next hour?” I asked.
Everleigh’s eyes glanced down my body, pausing just below the top button of my jeans. She bit her lip. “I have an idea.”
“But what about your staff?” I looked around. While we had been in the barn, several horsey-looking staff people had come in and out, and the valet had already parked my car.
“They’re the best staff in the world. They’re loyal and paid well. We’ve never had a mole or an insider betray us.”
I let Everleigh tug me out of the barn. “But are they loyal to you, or your father?”
Her eyes went wide. She knew what I was getting at. “I know a place we can go.” She led me past a sixteen car garage, then through a manicured garden with thousands of roses, and finally to another outbuilding. Inside this one was all kinds of farm equipment and gardening stuff, as well as a green side by side off-road vehicle that kind of looked like a dune buggy, but had the word ‘Gator’ across the side.
“Get in.” She slid into the driver’s seat and started up the machine.
A bumpy ride through the expansive green fields led to a trail in the woods, and soon we were following a winding river. Everleigh stopped in front of a small cabin and shut off the engine.
“What are we doing here?” I eyed the windows, expecting to see an angry homesteader burst out with a rifle.
“What do you think we’re doing here?” Everleigh winked and bounded down a pathway to the river. I followed behind, stepping over the pieces of clothing she kept strewing behind. I felt like I was in an X-rated version of Hansel and Gretel, only I wasn’t following breadcrumbs – I was following lacy underthings.
When I reached the edge of the river, Everleigh was standing with her back to me, the sunshine tracing her body and her blond hair glowing golden. She was completely naked, and the water swirled around her ankle bones. “What are you waiting for?” She held out her hand and I kicked off my shoes, then tore off my jeans and T-shirt faster than my slap shot.
“Don’t tell me you’re swimming in those.”
She tugged at the hem of my boxer briefs and I suddenly felt shy. Coming down the trail, I had practically been led by my cock. The sight of Everleigh’s lacy bra hanging from the maple tree branch had ensured that I found her with an erection so hard it almost hurt. The cold water was going to take care of that problem.
Everleigh took a step toward me and slipped her hand under my package. I was instantly hard again. As if she could read my mind, she whispered, “Don’t worry babe, the water’s not that cold.” Then she pulled my boxers down and stepped on them with her foot, pinning them to the ground so I could easily step out of them. I held my breath as I stepped into the river. Everleigh slipped her arm around my lower back and rested her hand on my ass. We waded into the river until she was thigh-deep in the water. The sun beamed through the maple trees like a spotlight and I had goosebumps – the good kind, not the cold kind.
“You’re so beautiful.” I was thankful that I didn’t have to whisper. I pulled her body close to mine, the heat intensifying as our torsos, slightly sticky from the late summer heat wave, pressed together. I wasn’t sure where Everleigh’s skin ended and mine began. It was as though we had melted into one. “Everleigh. I—”
Her eyes shimmered and she put her finger to my lips. “Don’t say it.”
So instead of telling her I was falling in love with her, I showed her. My lips met hers and both of us trembled. I pulled away only so I could pick her up to kiss her without having to bend down. She wrapped her legs around my waist, and the landing strip I loved so much brushed against my abs, my superhero cold-resistant cock resting somewhat impatiently, almost inside of her. The bottom of the river was sandy and I followed the beam of sunlight to the middle of the river. The current was strong enough to make a gurgling sound, but not strong enough to sweep my feet from beneath me. There was no way I would let that happen, anyways. I would protect Everleigh at all costs. If a wolf or bear had appeared on the banks of the river, I would die a bloody death before I let anyone or anything harm a hair on her head.
“Are you ready?” I asked.
She didn’t ask what I meant, but bit her bottom lip and nodded. I wanted to push into her, and I think that’s what she was expecting. Instead, I lowered our bodies into the water. Everleigh squealed and laughed, arching her head back, exposing her neck to the sky. I’d never seen her look so vulnerable and so alive.
“It’s freezing.” I couldn’t stop my teeth from chattering. “You said it wasn’t that cold.”
“It can’t be that cold, Mr. Lockwood. I can feel your Hardwood at my back door.”
I nuzzled my face into her collarbone. “You do something to me, Everleigh. I can’t explain it.”
Everleigh pushed away from me and performed a front crawl upstream. “Explaining is overrated. Show me what I do to you.”
