She jumps over and I feel a pang of jealousy for some reason. I don’t want this guy to be looking out for anyone but me.
The next guy is nervous too and again, Julian calms him down and gets him to jump. He’s so good with people. He calms down the nervous ones and has fun with the excited ones. He jokes around and I can tell he really enjoys this.
There’s only one person left in front of me. A man in his forties. He chickens out last minute and practically flees in a panic.
I’m up next.
Julian is busy pulling up the large overweight man who screamed the whole way down. Just as he’s about to pull him onto the platform, he glances over and spots me for the first time.
I freeze. My heart clenches with the full force of those dazzling blue eyes on me. They’re so intense.
Julian’s mouth drops open as he stares at me in shock. He seems to forget that he’s pulling a guy up because his body goes slack and the cord jerks out of his hands. The cord unravels and the large guy screams all over again as he does a second unexpected bungee jump for free.
Julian never takes his heated eyes off me. He’s staring at me like he might never look away.
His big barrel of a chest is heaving up and down with every heavy breath he takes.
The eye contact is pure fire. It’s smoldering as we stare at each other with the intensity of an exploding star.
The guy never stops screaming even though his second bonus jump is finished. Julian finally seems to click back into reality and begins the arduous task of pulling the heavy guy back up. I begin the fun task of watching him.
He keeps glancing over at me every two seconds and the feeling of those blue eyes on me—looking so possessive, looking so hungry—makes my whole body come alive.
Something is happening between us. He definitely wasn’t looking at the other girls like this—even the cute brunette with the big chest. He’s looking at me like he’s seeing a girl for the first time.
I’m not sure if it’s a good idea to be distracting a bungee jump operator like this, but I’m not leaving now. No freaking way.
Julian pulls the guy up and unties his feet. He keeps looking at me. Like, a lot.
“Next,” he says in that deep sexy voice that rumbles out like thunder.
His eyes are locked on me as I walk over and hand him my ticket. I’m trying to be cool, but my cheeks are blushing and the corners of my mouth are curling up in a smile.
He’s even bigger up close. I just want to lean in and smell his masculine scent.
“Abby Reynolds?” he says after he reads my name on the ticket.
I clasp my hands together, straighten my arms, and roll up on my toes. “Present!”
“You are a gift, that’s for sure,” he whispers to himself, low enough that I can barely hear it.
I’m so nervous. My stomach has been invaded by butterflies. I’ve never done anything like this before—the bungee jumping or the stalking. They’re both new territories for me.
“Have you ever jumped before?”
“No,” I say, although I already feel like I’m falling.
“Are you nervous?”
I stare up at him with my heart galloping. “A little.”
“I won’t let anything hurt you,” he says like it’s a promise. He’s staring at me and the magnetism between us is running wild. “You’re mine to protect.”
I swallow hard. “Okay. Thanks… Julian.”
He smiles when he hears his name on my lips. Luckily, he has a name tag on so I don’t have to embarrassingly explain how I know who he is.
He brings me over to the cord and leans down to tie me up. My body shivers when I feel those big strong hands wrapping around my ankles.
My pussy pulses, probably expecting those hands to make their way up, but she’s going to be mighty disappointed when she realizes that my ankles and calves are the only ones getting any hot mountain man action.
He tightens the straps on me as I stare down at him. A flood of warmth flows through me at having him so close. His head is right there.
“Do you want to get wet?” he asks in a deep throaty voice.
“Excuse me?” I say, nearly choking on my words.
“Do you want to touch the river?”
“Oh. Okay,” I say with a shrug. Wait, do I? I don’t want to butt heads with a fish…
It’s too late. Those big hands adjust the cord and he’s done.
“Alright,” he says as he looks up at me with a smile. “You’re all set.”
I step onto the platform and look over. My stomach drops. I get dizzy. Heated arousal turns to frantic nerves.
I instinctively recoil with a gasp. I try to step back, but my legs are strapped together and I fall.
