Snake never blinked, his eyes penetrating mine to the point our connection was even stronger. He had a way about him that was controlling yet created a private world of sheer ecstasy.
“Why Snake?”
“Why?” he repeated. “Because I was the one volunteering to crawl through the muck and underbrush, capable of making my mark a hundred yards away. Even in the darkness.” He issued the statement proudly, a slight smile curling on his upper lip.
“That makes sense.”
“Plus, I was cunning in every decision I made.”
“You? Cunning?”
He growled his response, jutting his hips forward, filling me so completely that a series of whimpers escaped my mouth. “Always and don’t you forget it.”
“I doubt you’ll allow me to.” My words were almost slurred as if I’d been drinking more than the few sips of wine. He held me close enough I could feel the hard pounding of his heart against my chest even if the roar of the waterfall made it impossible to hear.
“Never.” He captured my mouth, holding our lips together, allowing us to drift closer to the powerful waterfall. I was certain he’d take us directly under it. Instead, he moved to the side and to a slender spot where he was able to slide behind.
The difference in the noise was incredible, muffled yet creating pings all around us. The light was darker, only a few rocks glowing but the effect was incredible, something I’d never seen before.
He swept his tongue inside, as usual dominating mine but there was more intensity to what he was doing, a need that fractured my resolve. I wanted to get to know everything about him. His likes. His dislikes. And his ghosts. Would he ever let me in?
The taste of him was sweet yet spicy and when he fisted my hair, breaking the kiss, I whimpered, not wanting the moment to end. As his heated breath cascaded across my chin, he nipped my bottom lip before allowing his tongue to trail across my jaw to my neck.
I wrapped my fingers around his hair, digging my thighs into him. He pumped several times, developing a perfect rhythm that was slow and easy, taking his time to enjoy the moment. I remained breathless, closing my eyes and enjoying the electricity we shared.
A golden haze surrounded us and I wasn’t entirely certain it wasn’t a manifestation of my mind, but it was peaceful, lulling me into a quiet moment shared with the man…
Shit. The sense of caring about him was strong, too much so. I knew better, just like I’d known instinctively that getting involved with him was a bad idea and wanting more than what we were sharing was crazy.
He kept his hold, dragging his tongue all the way down my neck, biting down on my shoulder. I could swear he was expanding, his cock swelling. Even as my muscles strained, the pleasure was already driving me to another orgasm.
I felt the tear at first, betraying me by sliding out of the corner of my eye. Even in the dim light, I sensed the moment he noticed it. There was no barrage of questions, no pointed need for conversation. He simply licked the salty bead away, kissing both eyelids after doing so.
As he’d done before, I felt him slip away into his quiet place. He never blinked, never uttered a single word as he slowed his rhythm even more, still fisting my hair, his heart still racing. In those few precious moments of just being together, I felt the last vestige of my resolve slip away, the caring starting to become a dull ache in my heart.
A part of me wanted to push him away, but I wasn’t certain either one of us could handle doing that to the other. We were two broken souls, which wasn’t good for either one of us, but the insatiable need continued to multiply, growing exponentially every time we touched.
The heat and friction were slowly shifting to a full eruption, my core heated beyond anything I could imagine. Another beautiful orgasm swept through me without advance notice and my mouth opened, ready to allow a powerful scream.
But there was no sound other than the rumble of water tumbling all around us. He pressed me against the rocks, holding me still as he thrust savagely. I locked my feet together, trembling in his arms.
As his body began to tense, a smile crossed my face, and I squeezed my muscles. Almost instantly, he erupted deep inside.
This time wasn’t about two strangers who couldn’t keep their hands off each other. No, this incredible experience was about so much more.
And it scared me to death.
CHAPTER14
Snake
I’d almost lost her.
Sighing, I closed my eyes, the ache still behind them. I’d forgotten all about the drop-off on the lower ridge until Chasity had started running toward it. Only I hadn’t realized just how much of the terrain had been lost to Mother Nature in the last few years from heavy rain and snow. What the hell was wrong with me? Thank God, she hadn’t panicked.
The tightness in my chest continued, but it was the ache in my heart that hurt the most. I continued to believe the best thing for me to do was walk away.
I couldn’t. Or maybe I was just too stubborn to do so. Whatever the case, I remained antsy, which was one reason I’d started painting.
