were picnic tables where people stopped for lunch on pretty days.
The narrow road passed through a cluster of trees and opened up to a small viewing area. Elias turned into a parking spot, and the truck came to a jerky stop. I was sure we were parked outside the lines, but it was deserted, and I didn’t care.
He slid the bench seat back and pulled me into his lap. Kissing him was simply the best. He was kind of bossy about it, but then so was I. He chuckled when I nipped lightly at his bottom lip. Our hands were everywhere, and my dress was in a rumple around my hips. I shimmied off his lap to gain access.
I had his slacks unbuttoned and his zipper down in no time, letting out a happy sigh when I curled my palm over his velvety hot length. His head fell back against the seat as I stroked and rubbed my thumb over the cum beading at the top.
I needed to taste him and leaned over to lick that drop away, a wave of satisfaction rolling through me when he let out a ragged groan as I took him into my mouth. His taste was musky and salty, dancing across my tongue. I teased him for a few moments, sucking deeply and stroking with my fist before his hand tangled in my hair.
“I need to be inside you,” he said bluntly.
I straightened, artlessly shoving my panties down, laughing when they got caught on one ankle. He produced a condom out of his wallet and was smoothing it on as I rose up over him.
“Come here, sweetheart,” he murmured.
I needed no orders, but I absolutely loved when he gave them. In a moment, he was guiding himself into my entrance. I tried to go slow, but I couldn’t help it. I felt half drunk on pleasure as he seated himself deeply inside me. I let out a low hum, my hips rocking instantly.
Elias had one hand curled around my bare hip just under where my dress was rumpled, and the other slid up my back as he levered me forward slightly and caught my lips in a fierce kiss.
When he drew back, my eyes opened, and his were there waiting, hot and intent. My heart gave a hard kick. Then, he was notching into me and filling me again, and we rocked together as I chased my sweet release. I had no sense of time, I was made of sensation and pleasure. The slick fusion of our joining created just enough pressure on my clit that my release was racing upon me. I came in a noisy rush, just as he followed me over the edge. His fingers dug into my skin, and I needed the touch, the pressure to anchor me in the storm of this moment.
Afterward, I was a boneless heap in his lap. He held me in his relaxed hold, and I thought I was just the easiest girl ever when it came to him. I didn’t even know what to do about it. I felt as if I’d been caught in a riptide. This man who had been distant with me for so long turned me into a puddle. I didn’t even know what to do with myself, yet I savored being held by him, cocooned in his strength and protectiveness.
Eventually, we untangled ourselves and put our clothes to rights.
Chapter Twenty-One
Elias
It wasn’t enough to lose myself in the rush of need for Cammi with such fierceness that I had to pull off on the side of the highway and take her in my truck like a teenage boy who didn’t have anywhere private to go. Even after that, I needed her right beside me with her fingers laced through mine where my hand rested on her thigh for the rest of the drive home.
Once again, I texted Flynn and told him I’d meet him at the plane hangar in the morning because I sure as hell wasn’t driving home to sleep without Cammi.
Another evening
“Don’t even,” Gabriel said, narrowing his eyes at Flynn across the table.
Flynn’s lips kicked up at one corner. “Don’t even, what?”
“Win this fucking game,” Gabriel muttered. “I haven’t gotten a good hand yet tonight.”
We were in the kitchen at the resort, playing cards. Tonight, the game of choice was rummy. We’d fallen into this pattern of getting together late once or twice a week after the guests were all in their rooms.
