down to her ear and say in Spanish, "What else do you think is sexy?"
"Seriously?" she mumbles in Spanish into her hands.
"I think your ears are pretty sexy," I murmur and take a little nibble.
Heat rises to her cheeks, but she turns her head toward me. "My ears?"
"Mm-hmm. And this little birthmark you have right behind your ear..." I kiss it.
She takes a deep breath. "You're—"
I run my hands through her hair and kiss her, sliding my tongue in her mouth upon impact.
She gasps, but then responds, releasing a tidal wave of testosterone so fierce I pull her on my lap, so she's straddling me.
Her kisses remind me of soul and sin, wrapped together—a beautiful package of fire and fury, yet sweet and sugary.
My erection hardens, and I stick my hands down her shorts, palming her juicy ass.
She freezes.
"Do you want me to let you go?"
Her face crumples, and her cheeks become stained with tears.
I pull my hand out of her shorts and hold the back of her head. "Hey, tell me what's happening here."
She just keeps crying.
"Tell me what I've done to upset you, my Little Diva."
She shakes her head.
"Please, tell me what I've done."
"Nothing," she cries out and sobs harder.
I pull her into my chest and hold her tight, stroking her hair. "Shh."
She shakes in my arms, as if cold, so I grab the blanket, wrap it around her, and then embrace her tight.
"Are you cold?"
"No. I'm...I'm tired. So tired." She sobs further.
"Shh." I scoot down, so I'm laying almost flat on the ground. "Then close your eyes."
It seems like forever comes and goes before she stops crying and falls asleep. I don't know what I did. I'm not sure what is upsetting her. But I know I need to find out.

Zoe
"Mmm," I snuggle into his body further. "I could smell you all day."
His arm tightens around me, his palm rests on my ass cheek, and his other fingers glide through my hair. He murmurs, "Your hair is like satin."
I stick my hand under his shirt and fondle his hard abs. "God, I love your body."
He kneads my ass cheek, and I roll a little more on him, over his hardening erection. He mumbles against my forehead, "You've always been the sexiest woman on Earth."
"Yeah?" I breathe.
"Definitely." He moves my hair and trails his fingers over my neck.
"Mmm." I slide my hand down his pants and stroke him.
He groans, and I tilt my head. With my eyes half open, I find his tasty, make my toes curl, burn my loins lips.
A perfect harmony of tongues, and lips, and flesh tease every morsel of life in me.
I caress him some more and reposition my body, so I'm straddling him.
"Good morning, my Little Diva," he says as he teases my neck with his mouth.
How can he make me feel this way?
Oh God.
Every touch sends a surge of endorphins and heat, rolling through my core.
I open my eyes all the way. "Good—"
Oh no. You can’t do this again with him.
I pull back and lock eyes with him. "What are you doing?"
His eyes widen. "What do you mean?"
"Why were you kissing me?"
"I didn't. You kissed me."
"No, I didn't."
"Says the woman currently teasing my cock."
Oh shit!
My fingers freeze, but then I yank my hand out of his pants.
I jump up and grab the towel off the tree and fold it while my heart continues beating harder. It's barely light out. I avoid Dirk and put it in the backpack.
"Are you seriously going to do this?"
Do what?" I mumble but don't turn toward him.
"Play hot and cold, then blame me whenever something happens?"
I spin. "I'm not playing anything."
He snorts.
"I was sleeping, and you...you..."
Oh boy. What am I doing right now?
"I what?" He crosses his arms.
"You decided to follow me in the river naked last night."
"I saved you from drowning."
"We only had sex because you couldn't keep your clothes on."
"You sat on my dick," he barks.
"No. You...you...."
"I what Zoe?" he growls, and the hurt expression on his face pains me.
I blurt out, "You didn't even worry about not using a condom!"
His face hardens.
Silence.
I close my eyes and put my hand over my face.
He sternly says, "You're right. I didn't think about it. But don't worry, I'm clean. I've always worn one. And it never occurred to me to pack them on missions since I don't sleep with my targets. Sorry I touched you. It won't happen again."
My insides quiver.
Great. Now you've done it.
I should be relieved he said he won't touch me again, but all
