“Thanks a lot.”

He pulls the ax out of the tree. “Not bad for a city girl.”

“I aim to please.” I tease, brushing my hair out of my face, then turn to face him. The look on his face takes me aback. He’s always serious, but he’s looking at me with a steely stare I can’t quite read. “What?”

“You leave tomorrow?”

“Uh-huh. Check out’s at ten in the morning, which I think is bonkers.” My breathing is ragged. I don’t know if it’s from the activity or from being this close to Luke, taking in his clean, musky scent. “Why? You gonna miss me?” I think for sure this will get him scoffing or at least giving me shit, but instead, he just stares at me.

“You’re not like I thought.” He says, taking me by surprise.

“How so?” He’s so close to me. I wonder if he can hear my heart thumping in my chest.

“You’re fun to be around.” His face remains stony and stoic.

“Then why don’t you act like you’re having fun.”

He steps toward me. “Because I don’t want to kid myself.”

“About what?” My voice comes out as a whisper.

“About the fact that you’re leaving, and I probably won’t ever see you again.” His jaw clenches, and I resist the urge to reach up and cup his face.

“That’s not very optimistic.”

“I’m a realist, Jess.”

“Are you saying, Luke Warren, that you’ll miss me when I’m gone?” I’m trying so hard to play it cool, but inside I’m burning. My core ignites at the thought of him even touching my hand.

“I’m saying we should make the most of the time you have left here.”

I swallow, feeling brave. “And what would you suggest we do?”

Luke’s rough hands wrap around my waist, and he pulls me close before I even know what’s happening. His lips come crashing down on mine, gently at first, but soon our kisses grow more passionate. He parts my lips with his tongue, tasting my mouth, causing my panties to drench.

I throw my arms over his shoulders, his muscles so taut I almost can’t believe anyone could have a body like this. I can’t wait to see him without this fucking shirt. “This is nuts. It’ll never work.” I say, telling myself more than him.

“Probably not.” He whispers into my mouth, and the sound that comes out of his mouth throws me for a loop. I pull back in awe.

“Oh, my God.” I run my finger over his full bottom lip. “Are you laughing?”

He lifts me off of my feet, kissing me again. My body melts into his, and I let him hold me tight. “I guess I am.”

He nibbles on my bottom lip. Chills erupt up and down my legs. “Don’t worry,” I say between hot and hungry kisses. “I won’t tell anyone.” Luke lifts me off my feet and starts carrying me toward his cabin.

ChapterEight

Luke

Jesus,this woman can kiss. I can barely keep my hands off her as I walk her back to the cabin. It takes all my strength not to rip her clothes off right in the middle of the woods and take her, claim her like I’ve wanted to from the minute I saw her.

Inside, I push her up against the wall, tasting every inch of her sweet honey mouth. My hands trail up her shirt, feeling her soft stomach until I’m palming her breasts over her bra. “You’re so fucking sexy,” I tell her. Her eyes soften. My little vixen likes when I compliment her. “Tonight you’re going to be mine, Jessica. No followers, no phone, no one but me.”

She nods, her pink tongue slipping from her mouth as I roll her nipple between my fingers. She raises her leg so I can get closer, pressing my rock hardness against her, aching to bury myself deep inside, but knowing that having patience and taking my time with her will make it all worthwhile in the end.

I press my hungry mouth against her throat, causing her head to rear backward. “Get out of these fucking clothes,” I growl, aching to see all of her.

I help her by undoing her shorts, sliding them along with her panties over the curve of her hip as she pulls her shirt off for me. I love that she does what I tell her. It’s such a turn-on.
