felt the same way towards him.
She didn’t respond to his compliment, too interested in looking at all of that bare skin that was right in front of her. “It’s pretty hot today,” she finally said while her fingers moved through his hair. Without hesitation, they moved across his shoulders, feeling the muscles, reveling in his strength.
“Yes. And getting hotter.” He watched as her mouth opened just slightly while her fingers, that light, tentative touch, drove him crazy. He wanted her hands on his chest, against his skin. She was like a drug that he hadn’t realized he needed until she was standing right in front of him like this. “Touch me,” he commanded, and then his arm lifted, taking her hand from his shoulder to his chest.
Zarah loved the way the light sprinkling of hair on his chest tickled her palm, making her feel as if she were going up in flames with the need to touch him further. She moved her hand along his skin, testing the various textures and noting that his heart was pounding in his chest. Did she do that to him? He certainly had that kind of an impact on her, she thought as her legs brushed against his underneath the water.
Derrick couldn’t take the fluttering movements any longer. With a groan, he pulled her against him, his mouth crushing hers in a kiss that stopped all time as he tasted that mouth, the sweet, taunting mouth that had been disturbing his dreams lately.
She felt incredibly soft and tasted even better! As his mouth devoured hers, his hands shifted along her soft, satiny skin. She drove him even more wild by those sexy sounds she made with each new place he touched. When he cupped her breast, her head pulled away and he looked down into her bright, surprised gaze. He was going to take his hand way, but then she surprised him even more when she went right back into his arms, her legs wrapping around his waist and her hand reaching down to guide his hand once again to her breast. When his thumb rubbed over her hardened nipple, she stiffened slightly, then pressed herself against him even more, rubbing her stomach against his erection, whimpering with a need that almost matched his own.
Derrick took a deep breath, his hand moving of its own volition to cup her perfect breasts, thrilled when her head fell backwards as the need struck her. He knew how she felt. Every time she rubbed against his erection it was hard for him to remind himself to take things slowly. All he wanted to do was pull her out of the water and make love to her on the dock.
He lifted her higher, kissing her again, tasting that sweetness that he found only with her. She kissed him back, her tongue moving against his and his hand moved the strap of her bra, lowering it so that his hand could touch her breast without the hindrance of the fabric.
“Come back to the house with me,” he growled, lifting her higher so that his mouth could cover her breast, his tongue flicking against her nipple and sucking the ripe mound, hearing her gasps of surprise and making him painfully hard.
“Can’t,” she whispered, shaking her head for emphasis.
“Why not?” he asked as his hand skimmed up her back, bringing her breast closer.
“We’re not meant for each other.” She sighed as she said those words, her eyes closed and her back arching as if to offer her breast to Derrick. He took the offering, but a part of his mind was trying to figure out what she was taking about.
He lowered her back down and looked at her passion glazed eyes. “Zarah, we’re going to make love. It’s either going to be here or at my place. Make your decision.” He was trying to get through to her, but he might have missed his window.
Zarah focused her eyes on his handsome features, reveling in the feel of his arms wrapped around her as she floated in the water against his strong body. He was trying to tell her something, but she couldn’t really figure it out. All she wanted was for him to continue to make her feel so incredibly wonderful. She loved the way his hands and mouth fell on her body and wanted to understand why he had stopped.
He kissed her gently and pulled her towards the dock. “Let’s go,” he said and started to lift her upwards.
“Wait!” she
