“Not sure yet,” he said, mood lightening when he realized I wasn’t going to pry. What he did was none of my business.

Between the heater and the sizzling warmth running along my skin thanks to his heated gaze, I was slowly beginning to dry. At least my outer layers were. My panties were another matter, though with him in here with me they were in danger of staying wet.

I pulled the car over to the side of the road. It was just late enough in the season that there weren’t many tourists out here so the look-outs over the ocean were open.

Trip glanced over at me, a frown marring his brow. “What are you doing?”

“I’m tired of being in wet clothes.” I let my gaze rake over him—mostly because I just wanted the chance to really look at him—and my lips quirked up in a grin. “I don’t have anything that will fit you, but it doesn’t mean I need to be uncomfortable. I’ll be right back.”

Getting out, I went around to the trunk of my car and opened my duffel bag that had my clothing inside. I pulled out a pair of jean shorts and my last clean shirt. I’d meant for it to be a sleep shirt, but it would have to do.

I glanced around to make sure no cars were coming and shimmied out of my leggings and underwear. All the panties I’d brought with me were dirty so I just yanked the shorts on and went commando. I’d spent the weekend hiking and swimming, so my single bra was a bit ripe—which is why I hadn’t worn it this morning—so I pulled off my wet shirt and put the new one on. I’d have to be careful. The shirt left my belly exposed and if I lifted my arms too high I’d end up flashing more than a little under boob at my passenger. Kat had made me buy the shirt. I actually really liked it, but didn’t usually wear it in public since it left little to the imagination.

“Damn.”

I yelped as I shut the trunk and found him standing there. My mouth dropped open as I tried to find words. They finally came out, horror evident in them. “Did you just watch me dress?” I’d been naked, essentially, and not at all ready for this man to see me that way. At least not if we weren’t in the moment with the heat of passion making my thoughts fuzzy. I didn’t exactly have the confidence to be naked without the lights off, at least at first. But his hungry smile had me just a little bit proud of my body.

“No,” he said with a shake of his head. The sunlight glinted off his dark blond hair. It was longer on top and shorter on the sides, and I longed to run my fingers through it. “I just got out.” He crossed his finger over his heart, but gave me a smile so wicked I had to wonder if he was lying to me.

He moved around the back of the car and caged me in between his arms, his hands resting on the car on either side of my hips. My breath caught in my throat. He was looking down at me with hunger etched on his face.

“I like your shirt.”

My eyes widened as he moved one of his hands and let his fingertip brush over my exposed midriff. Desire pooled low in my belly and I cursed his mysterious sexiness for causing me to react this way. I didn’t let men I didn’t know touch me, or even stand this close to me. So why him?

I didn’t speak, wasn’t sure I could if I wanted to, and as his head dipped down I knew I wouldn’t. Something about him made me want to take a chance. To let him kiss me and see what it would be like. So I did.

His lips met mine and my eyes fluttered closed. My hands went to his chest while he gripped the swell of my hip. His skin was warm under my palms and I let my hands explore while we kissed. When his tongue brushed the seam of my lips, I opened and sighed into his mouth. The man could kiss.

His hand slipped higher up, over my ribs, and stopped when his fingers brushed the underside of my breast. I gasped and he broke the kiss and trailed his lips over until he could nibble on my ear.

My pussy clenched as he started kissing my neck, peppering little nips between lightly sucking on the scrapes. My head fell back, eyes closing. I felt a tug on my shorts and my head snapped forward, looking down as his tattooed hand worked on the button.

The sight brought logic flooding back into my mind. “Wait.” I grabbed his wrist.

He froze, lips still against my neck. His chest rose and fell heavily as he tried to pull himself under control. He let his hands drop and I felt a pang of disappointment, but this was what I asked for. I couldn’t have sex with a man I just met. It didn’t matter that my body was on board with the idea.

He leaned forward and gave me a brief kiss. His lips lifted in a smirk. “Just needed one last taste.”

With that he stepped back and then went to get into the passenger seat. I put my hands on the trunk to try to help my shaking knees hold my body up. He’d riled me up so quickly and with such little effort it shook me. I took a few deep breaths then went and slipped in behind my steering wheel.

He looked over at me and put his arm behind my chair as he leaned forward. “You alright?”

His blue eyes were intense as he searched my face. I smiled at him and started the car. “I’m fine,” I insisted.

I mean, my pussy was wet and throbbing and all my senses seemed to be tuned into him, but otherwise I was fine. I pulled out onto the road and my cheeks heated when I saw him adjust his dick in his pants from the corner of my eye. It made me wonder how big he was. Gorgeous man like that? I’d bet he had a sexy cock. My cheeks flamed brighter and I shook the thoughts from my mind.

CHAPTER3

Marina

We sat in companionable silence for a while. This drive was over three hours long, but it wasn’t going to be too hard with him along for the ride. He was friendly, easy to talk to, easy to look at, and extremely easy to kiss.

Somewhere along the line he started up a conversation again and we chatted the whole way into the city. I was grateful that he kept the conversation light and easy, though he still flirted. I had a feeling this man couldn’t speak to a woman without flirting. It was just in his nature.

“Where can I drop you?” I asked.

He gave me an address and I plugged it into my GPS. It was in a part of the city I wasn’t very familiar with. I followed along and eventually pulled into a fenced off parking lot. The gate was open, but the buildings weren’t houses. I frowned at them. “Is this right?”
