“Oh my god, Gibson, what the hell are you doing?” She’s mad, and her face is red once she looks down at our bare chests pressed together. “Let me go.”
She tries to wiggle free, but I grip her chin and turn her head towards the water. “Shhh.”
Lindsey goes completely still when her eyes follow the same path as mine. There on the other side of the lake is an alligator twice my size, lounging in the sun.
I can hear the sound her throat makes when she swallows, and I loosen my grip on her. “Let’s just get out of here slowly and calmly.”
She doesn’t make a peep as she nods and then we quietly get to our feet. Her bathing suit top is over by the rock, and when we stand, she crosses her arms over her chest.
“It’s fine, just leave it,” she hisses when I go over to retrieve it.
We’re still a good distance away, but I’m not going to hang around and find out if he’s coming after us. I grab it without hesitating and then grab Lindsey by the hand. I don’t wait for her to put it on as I walk fast toward where the trail picks up.
“What the hell were you thinking?” I say without looking at her. I just keep on moving through the woods, pulling her along behind me.
“I don’t know, okay!” she snaps, and it causes me to stop walking. “Now give me my bathing suit.”
I don’t turn around to watch as I pass it behind me and wait for her to put it on. After a moment I hear her grunt in frustration and I take a peek. “You okay back there?”
She sighs, and I can almost hear her eyes roll. “No.”
When I turn, I see she’s got her back to me with her top tied around her neck, but it’s knotted up so badly that she can’t get it around her chest.
“Here, let me,” I say as I take the strings from her hands and begin to untangle them. It’s then that I see her fingers are trembling. “Hey, it’s all right.” I brush my knuckle down her spine to soothe her, and I can see at least part of her visibly relaxes.
“God, I’m so stupid.” It sounds like her voice is close to cracking.
“Hey.” I wrap my arms around her from behind and kiss the top of her head. “You’re all right, I’m here.”
Chapter 7
Lindsey
I melt against him as he wraps an arm around my waist, holding me close. I can still feel the tingle of his touch on my skin from when he helped me put my top back on. How had I been both happy and annoyed that he hadn't tried to steal a peek of my breasts as he pulled me through the forest? Because I’m starting to lose my mind, that’s why.
My hand rests on his hard chest, and I enjoy the feel of him under my fingers. I’d pretty much run from him when I left breakfast, but here I am snuggling close. Is he comforting me because he thinks I need it, or because he truly wants to? I have a feeling Gibson isn't one to do something out of obligation.
As we walk, I can see we’re still sheltered some by the trees, but if someone were to walk by they could spot us easily enough. I should pull away for that reason alone because people might gossip, and that’s the last thing I need. I’m trying to earn everyone’s respect, and this could lose that. Hell, it could cost me so much more than respect.
He stops, and I turn in his arms, knowing I need to put distance between us. As I begin to push away, I suddenly stop when I feel his hard cock pressing into my stomach. Maybe he’s into me, or it could be from the adrenaline rush or the fact that a half-naked woman is touching him. When his eyes drop to my mouth, those thoughts melt away as I see the heat in his gaze that’s just for me. Liquid desire pools in my sex as my body responds to his.
“Fuck, you’re beautiful,” he says, and his mouth crashes down onto mine. I gasp in surprise, and Gibson steals the opportunity to sweep his tongue past my lips, deepening the kiss. I moan into his mouth, enjoying the stroke of his tongue against mine before I start to kiss him back.
His hands grip my ass as he lifts me off my feet, and I wrap my legs around him as he presses my back against something hard. I’m too lost in the kiss to think about anything else but the feel of his cock pressing into my sex. I shift against him, grinding myself against his hard length.
