“Yeah, I remember. I wanted so bad for you to kiss me that night.”

“Me too, darlin’.”

She shuffled around to look at me, a confused expression on her face. “Then, why didn’t you?”

“I was scared. You terrified the life out of me back then.”

She laughed as if I was making a joke. “As if you were all so sure of yourself, especially when it came to the girls, McArthur. You could’ve kissed every damn girl in the school without a worry in the world.”

“None of those girls could compare to you, not even today.” Her smile fell when she realized I was serious.

“You’re so cute.” She patted my cheek with her hand, smiling kindly as if I were a six-year-old boy confessing love for his favorite teacher.

“Cute?” Rolling us, I pinned Alina below me, my hips grinding against hers. “Cute? Puppies and kittens are cute. Little button-nosed girls with pigtails are cute. I’m not cute. I’m all male. Hard and relentless, and I know I have talents that could make a nun sin. There ain’t nothin’cuteabout that.”

“You’re awfully cocksure of yourself, don’t you think?”

“The only thing my cock is sure about, darlin’, is that down here…” I slid my hand down her stomach and lower, stroking softly against the fabric of her shorts with my index and middle finger as heat radiated from the sweet spot between Alina’s legs, “… is where it wants to be for eternity.”

I enjoyed her reaction to me—how her eyelids fluttered at my touch before her breath caught, and she sucked her bottom lip between her teeth. She was as turned on as I was from a not-so-innocent touch.

“Of course, I’m cocksure,” I whispered in her ear as a sweet little moan encouraged the circles I had resigned to tracing. “But first, I think we need to cool off.”

ChapterThirty-Seven

Alina

Callum landed a chaste kiss on my cheek before he rolled off me and dashed away, discarding pieces of clothing as he made his way closer to the water’s edge.

If I hadn’t been swooning so badly over his touch and the striptease happening in front of me, I might have calmed myself enough to chase after him. Pushing up on my elbow, I caught a glimpse before his naked body dove under the water. Moments later, he resurfaced, squirting water out of his mouth like a human fountain.

Shielding my eyes from the sun allowed me a better view of him. “You are disgusting. That is disgusting. Don’t you know fish have sex in that water?”

“Don’t be such a prude. Come down here so we can give those fish a show of our own.”

“Yeah, it looks cold, so I think I’ll pass.”

“Alina Jasmine Blade Simpson, you’ve got to the count of ten to get in the water, or I’m coming for you.” I cringed at Callum’s use of my full name. “What is it going to be, naked or fully clothed? One…” He began the count, but I resisted his demands by calling his bluff.

“Two.” His chest emerged from the water, rivulets running over his well-defined muscles and pebbled nipples. “Three.”

“I don’t respond to threats, McArthur. You’re wasting your time.” I quirked an eyebrow, amused by his persistence.

He smirked. “Four.” The water dropped lower on his body as he moved closer to the edge of the river. “It’s not a threat, darlin’.”

If only he knew already how tempted by his threats I was, but unyielding with giving in just yet, the promise of seeing him in all his naked glory stuttered my heartbeat.

“Five.”

I wanted to see how far he would take it. In truth, I wanted to see all of him, dripping water down the body I knew so intimately. I swallowed dryly as the water barely covered the hair above the part of him that had him so full of himself.

“Six. What’s it going to be?”

I held my breath as the rest of him emerged from the water in a slow animalistic prowl toward me. I was gripped to the spot, unable to move while my brain short-circuited at the sight in front of me.

“Seven, baby.”

I dropped my hand, shaded by the physicality of Callum standing over me. My eyes trailed over his body, starting at his calves before traveling up his legs, where the water had matted the hairs against his tanned skin.
