“Never.”
“Come in here and prove it to me, then.”
That was all the invitation I needed.

“You ready?” People brushed by us, heading towards the start of the trail. Everyone was making the most of the sunny weather and the trail was busier than I’d expected.
“Yep!” Lucy gazed down at her boots rapturously. She looked so endearing, like a little toddler who’d just received a much wished-for gift from Santa Claus. It made me smile.
“After you, then.” I watched as she started walking, taking long, fluid strides. Her ass, snug in dark blue jeans, was a sight to behold. And believe me, I beheld. Until she glanced at me over her shoulder and caught me perving, that is. She shot me a sweet, sexy smile that had my heart doing a slow, uncomfortable roll that almost robbed me of breath.It’s just because she’s so hot, that’s all, I told myself as I lengthened my stride to catch up with her. I had to rub my hand across my chest to get my heart to settle just the same.
“Wow, it’s so beautiful.”
“Yeah.” It was a magical morning. The air smelled fresh and clean, still holding the damp from the recent rain. Lucy was positively glowing from it, her eyes alight. We stopped for a moment to give way to a group coming the other way on the narrow track.
“I can’t get enough of the trees.”
I couldn’t get enough of her. Standing on the edge of the trail, gazing at the surrounding pines and firs, their trunks shining in the morning sunshine as they reached for the heavens. A little further on, the path was wide enough for us to walk side by side, so I linked my fingers in hers, liking the way we naturally fell into step. I also liked the way she didn’t feel the need to fill the silence with talk, content just to walk along by my side, enjoying the scenery.
I moved behind her as we stepped across a narrow wooden bridge, admiring the swing of her high ponytail and, of course, her butt. It made me want to kiss her. A lot. Once that idea popped into my head, I couldn’t get rid of it, so by the time the trail widened again, I’d formed a plan.
“What’s that up there?”
“Where?” Lucy stopped mid-stride, looking up into the forest, a small questioning frown on her face.
“Up there. Can’t you see it?”
“No.” She was adorably confused. “All I see are trees.”
“Let’s go check it out.”
“Are we allowed?”
I had no idea. “Of course. There’s no rule that says you must stay on the trail.”
“Okay.”
I pulled her up the incline and, once I thought we were far away enough from everyone else, ducked behind the wide trunk of a Douglas fir and pushed her back against it. “There’s not actually anything up here to check out, is there?” Her eyes were sparkling with amusement and more than a little lust.
“Sure there is.”
“Where?”
“Right here.” I leaned in, brushing my lips lightly over hers, reveling in the sweet softness. With a sigh, she opened her lips for me. I took it for the invitation it was, delving my tongue into her mouth, letting the scent of her fill my head. She made a small sound in the back of her throat that shot straight to my cock. “Christ, Lucia.”
“I know.”
I pressed against her, biting back a groan when she grabbed my hips, pulling me closer still. There was no way I could fuck her here, without a condom and with hordes of people moving so close below. “We should stop,” I ground out, sliding my hands under her sweater and cupping her breasts, instantly making me a liar.
She broke away. I thought she would step back and head back down to the trail. But she didn’t. Instead, she grabbed my coat in tight fists and turned me, so that our positions were reversed and my back was to the tree trunk. I had no idea what she was up to, but when she pulled my head down, giving me a kiss that dripped with need, I went with it.
“You want me, Dante?”
“Fuck, yes.”
“Didn’t bring any protection?”
