She chuckled, then closed one eye while tipping her head. “I’m pretty sure we have animals outside listening to us.” And then this gorgeous, incredible woman added, “Jack London, teaching those animals the true meaning of the Call of the Wild,” and I broke into laughter.
Yeah . . . I’m going to fall in love.
CHAPTER SEVENTEEN
JACK
“Rise and shine, lovebirds.”
Not that I ever really fell asleep—too paranoid to do that with Charley in my arms in the jungle, and a possible serial kidnapper on the grounds—but Stephen’s boisterous and booming voice just outside the door did have me jolting in the bed a touch.
Charley blinked a few times, slowly coming to. Her blonde hair spilled over her shoulders, covering one breast, leaving the other nipple exposed and taut, teasing me. “What time is it?”
“Sun isn’t up yet.” I could’ve figured out something more specific, but my focus was elsewhere. I was doing my best to hold myself back from dipping in to kiss her breast.
Stephen’s second knock sliced through my thoughts, cutting off my efforts at fantasizing what it’d be like to wake next to her every morning. I’d have coffee just the way she’d like it on the nightstand as her good morning. Well, after easing her awake with my tongue between her thighs first.
“The next team mission starts now,” Stephen announced, killing my second attempt to mentally map out a future with the woman who didn’t want one with me. “You have five minutes to get dressed and meet us at the players’ lodge. Wear comfortable clothes. You’ll be in the jungle all day.”
“Did he just say we’ll be in the jungle all day, or did I hallucinate?” Charley murmured, but I lost track of everything yet again, because she was naked in my arms and turning to face me. I could feel the wetness between her thighs as she shimmied her pussy against my wide-awake cock.
“Yeah, I’m going to need to fuck you right now,” I growled out before flipping her beneath me, unable to stop myself. I laced our fingers together alongside her head and leaned in and kissed her.
“No condoms,” she reminded me, a touch of disappointment edging her tone. “And we only have five minutes.”
“I can come in under sixty. No problem,” I joked. But with her, yeah, no issue there. “Damn the condom problem, though.” My shoulders collapsed in defeat, and I let go of her hands as I fell back alongside her.
“Maybe Gwen has more?”
Her question caught me off guard. Because it gave me hope. Was she changing her mind about us?
“. . . I forgot,” she said, tacking the words to the end of a sentence she never started. Not out loud, anyway.
A heavy, almost painful feeling gathered in my chest and stomach. “Right.” I swallowed, then swung my legs to the side of the bed, shoving the mosquito netting away from my face as I sat.
My body tensed at the feel of her hand on the center of my back. “I don’t know what to say.”
I looked over my shoulder at her. “Do you have anything different to say from last night?”
Her mouth pinched tight, and she shook her head while drawing up the cover, hiding her body.
“Then don’t say anything.” I stood and moved the netting aside and walked naked over to my suitcase to search for “jungle attire.” My dick had yet to go soft despite the pain of her words, so I closed my eyes and took a few seconds to try and will my hard-on away.
“What, um, do you think the challenge will be?”
I opened my eyes at her tentative tone and turned to see her standing behind me. The thin white bedspread wrapped around her like a toga. It was cute that she was hiding as if I didn’t already have every inch of her memorized. “I don’t know.”
Her eyes dropped between my thighs, which didn’t help my situation at all. Especially not when I caught her tongue sliding along the seam of her lips as she continued to stare at my cock.
“I’m going to wash up and change in the bathroom,” I said, needing a minute alone to steel my thoughts and pull myself together after having another night I’d never forget.
“Yeah, okay. I’ll get dressed while you’re in there, then.”
I nodded, unable to say anything else, then I snatched my things and started for the small en suite.
“Jack, wait.”
I froze outside the door, my hand on the knob in preparation to escape.
