and I hadn’t seen Lindsay leaving to go to dinner yet, so she had to still be changing.
“I’m proud of you for today, you know?” I called, knowing she could hear me through the door. “Maybe tomorrow we should look into quad biking in the forest. Have you thought about what you feel like for dinner?”
I rummaged through my bag, searching for a shirt when I heard the bedroom door opening. She didn’t answer my question, so I looked at her, wondering if maybe she hadn’t heard me after all.
My breath froze in my fucking lungs at the sight that greeted me when I slid my gaze to her. She was standing in the bedroom door wearing nothing but powder-blue lingerie.
The lace bra plunged between her creamy breasts while the panties were so small I could see she was completely bare. Swollen too.
All my blood rushed south, leaving me instantly hard as a fucking rock as I straightened up slowly. “Lindsay?”
She lifted her hands to free her hair from a tie, sending it tumbling down past her shoulders as she shot me a sensual look. “I’ve thought about what I want for dinner. You.”
I would’ve pinched myself if there weren’t far more pleasurable ways to make sure I wasn’t dreaming. Closing the distance between us in two purposeful strides, I cupped her face in my hands and slammed my lips down on hers.
No. Nope. This is definitely not a dream. It’s really happening.
Sliding my arms around her without hesitation, I lifted her off her feet and carried her into the bedroom. I kicked the door shut behind me because I suddenly couldn’t even remember if I’d closed the outer door.
I interrupted our kiss only to whisper with my lips still against hers. “I want you too, baby. Let me show you how much.”
Chapter 15
LINDSAY
Books often described first kisses as so incredible, so earth shattering and mind blowing that the world ceased to exist around the characters. I’d never experienced a kiss like that so, as I’d done with so many other things, I’d chalked it up to being impossible in real life.
It turned out to be yet another belief that Jaxon blew out of the water completely. Kissing him was all that and so much more.
My knees went weak, my brain went blank, and my core turned to liquid heat. And all of that happened in the space of one heartbeat.
I sagged against him, but he held me up and then went one step further by literally sweeping me off my feet. He tasted like the sweet ice cream we’d had just a little bit earlier, and the scents of ocean, sunscreen, and barely there clean sweat met my nostrils.
His lips were soft but firm and his body was just as hard as I would’ve expected if I’d planned this at all. It was a dizzying combination that was as intoxicating as it was unbelievable.
After he’d taken his call and I walked into my bedroom, I noticed the corner of this set of lingerie peeking out from the mesh insert at the top of my suitcase. My gaze had snagged on it, and my mind immediately went back to imagining Jaxon’s reaction if he saw me in it.
Fighting against the nerves and uncertainty that swirled around inside me like a brewing thunderstorm, I’d decided to throw caution to the wind. We were doing what we wanted today, and I wanted to put on the sexy new underwear and see where we ended up.
My palms had been clammy and my hands trembled when I’d opened the door, but as soon as I looked into his eyes, my nervousness took a backseat. There had been no mistaking the raw lust in his gaze, and he’d acted on it without question.
It was the most wanted I’d ever felt, and when he wrapped those muscled arms around me, it was also the most need I’d ever felt. Obviously, I’d been turned on before. Heck, I’d been horny pretty much since I first felt his body against mine in the lobby.
Yet I’d never felt like I might go up in flames if he didn’t touch me. It’d been mild discomfort and the awareness that I wanted to get off more than the burning need waging war with logical thought that I felt right then.
My clit was so hard just from his kisses and the feel of his body against mine that I moaned into his mouth when I pressed up against his stomach as he
