Oh God, oh God, oh God. She wanted that so much. His middle finger stroked her, a whisper of a promise that sent little sparks of pleasure flying through her. “Yes,” she urged.

“Shit,” he rasped. “You’re killing me. Not here. Not now.”

“But if you—” she started, but his pained laugh cut her off.

“And not on a fucking rock. Not this first time, anyway.”

She was going to suggest that there was a meadow only a few yards back, but even in her ridiculous state that seemed too desperate. As desperate as she actually felt.

In fact, she felt so damn tight and needy that she wanted to suggest they skip that altogether. She wanted to say, It’s dark—just tug down your shorts and fuck me right here. But that was crazy. Crazy. To get well and truly laid for the first time in some hurried, frantic fuck on a public trail.

She nodded, kept nodding. “Okay,” she said as his hand left her. Her pussy felt freezing cold without the cover of his fingers. She was a little mortified to think she was so wet she’d soaked through the fabric of both her underwear and her shorts. Then again, she was utterly thrilled that anyone could make her that wet. For a while now she’d been wondering if she could even get that turned on.

She could. She definitely could.

He eased her closer, arms around her waist, and rested his forehead against hers. “I think we lost track of time,” he said casually, as if her hip weren’t now pressed against his erection. He was hard. So hard that she was having trouble forming a sentence and wasn’t sure why it was so easy for him to talk. Maybe it was just experience.

She shifted, pressing her hip more tightly to him, and she was rewarded with the sound of breath hissing past clenched teeth. It made her smile.

“Don’t torture me,” he rasped.

“I just wanted to see if you were enjoying this as much as I was.”

“Are you kidding?” he sounded slightly offended. “I’m in serious pain.”

She should have felt bad, but a laugh bubbled up in Veronica’s throat. He was aching and hard as a rock. For her.

She pressed her hip against him again, then laughed at the strangled noise he made.

“Holy shit, you’re cruel,” he complained.

“I’m sorry. But you just teased the hell out of me.”

His teeth flashed white in the twilight when he smiled. “That’s good to know.”

“Almost as good as knowing this,” she said. Feeling sexy and bold in a way she never had before, she brushed her fingers over the front of his shorts.

“No,” he said immediately. “We’re not starting again. I can’t take it.”

Her laughter was husky even to her own ears. “But I’m having fun, Gabe.”

He growled something she couldn’t quite make out and kissed her brusquely on the forehead. “We’ve got to go. It’s almost full dark.”

“I know,” she sighed, but she turned to look out at the view instead of moving. The sky was purple and indigo in the west now, the Tetons nothing but silhouettes against the fading light. The Gros Ventre mountains to the east picked up the last glimmers of light on their snowy peaks, but above them the stars blazed in the dark sky. The lights of Jackson twinkled cheerily below.

Now that her heart rate was returning to normal, Veronica shivered. Gabe pulled her back against his chest and wrapped his arms around her.

“It’s hard to leave,” he murmured.

“Yes,” she said. “It’s hard.” Her giggle ruined the moment and she didn’t care.

He groaned and set her on her feet. “That’s it. No more mocking my pain. Your fun is over, lady.”

“God, I hope not. It just started.” She dug in her pack for her fleece jacket and a flashlight.

“All right,” he said. He’d brought his own flashlight and a circle of light appeared at his feet. “The fun is only over for tonight.”

She pulled on her jacket and they started down the trail. “And here I was hoping you’d come back to my place,” she said to his back. Adrenaline rushed through her body as the words left her mouth. She’d just invited him over. They were going to have sex. Tonight. And the thing was...she felt nervous about it in only the best way. In fact, she was so excited about it that she didn’t notice his silence until he finally broke it.
