My cock was grinding into her panties through my jeans. Three seconds. In three seconds I could unzip them, tear her underwear off and be balls deep in this gorgeous, sexy girl. Her hips began to writhe, rubbing against me as if that was precisely what she wanted as well.
With a growl, I managed to tear myself from her lips. She blinked up at me with wet eyelashes. “I’m sorry,” she gasped. “Did I do something wrong?”
Switching off the water, I held her against me as I walked out of the shower stall, setting her on her feet and wrapping her in a huge towel.
“You’re far too tempting, my sweet little kitten,” I said, stroking her hair and kissing her forehead. “I’m going to hand you some clothes in a minute, and I don’t want you to come out until you’re dry and dressed. Okay?”
“Okay.” Her voice sounded tiny, as if she was nervous that I was about to scold her. I hated to think I might have done that.
Grabbing a towel for myself, I went into my bedroom, stripping off my soaking jeans and rubbing myself off briskly, dressing in dry clothing as fast as I could. I found a pair of track pants and a soft t-shirt for her. Tapping on the bathroom door, I turned away while opening it just wide enough to get my hand and the clothing through.
“Thank you,” she said.
I quickly put the kettle on, and looked for something warm and comforting to feed her. Luckily I had made an amazing pot of chili two days before, so I heated that up, finding some fresh rolls and garlic butter.
When Kate walked slowly out of the bathroom, she looked so adorable swimming in my huge clothing that I wanted to pull her into my arms again. But instead I pointed to a chair, placing a mug of ginger tea in front of her, along with two capsules and a glass of water.
“Vitamins C and D,” I said before she asked. “You just had a terrible chill, and you need your immune system boosted right now. There’s a ton of onion and garlic in this chili, so that should help too.”
“Thank you,” she said with a smile I could feel in the pit of my stomach. She took the pills immediately, and I realized with great relief that she trusted me. I also realized, as she looked up at me with those radiant green eyes, that I was already helplessly under her spell.
CHAPTER THREE
* Kate *
For half a second, I couldn’t believe that I had just swallowed pills given to me by a strange man. On the other hand, he was the same man who hadn’t taken advantage of me when I practically jumped him in the shower.
My head was still spinning a bit from the fall, and that nasty chill, but even more from the way we had kissed. I had no idea that it could be that intense. I’d never felt absolute lust before, and it would have almost scared me, except it felt absolutely perfect.
Ray dropped to one knee in front of my chair, quickly rolling up the bottom of each track pant leg for me. Then he sat in the chair beside me.
I took a look around the quaint cabin, noticing that the furniture in here was truly high end. My cabin was full of nice pieces, but fairly simple and cheap. Everything in this place could have been at one of the fanciest shops where you needed to book an appointment just to look around.
He cupped my face in his large hands, looking deeply into my eyes as he tipped my chin up to the light a little. I felt my thighs tighten and I hoped he was about to kiss me. But then I noticed he was looking into my eyes with concern, not passion.
“Slowly look to the left, then to the right,” he instructed. I did exactly as he said, then looked back into that gaze of deep, mystical blue.
His hands slid up the back of my neck, gently probing the back of my skull under my hair. “Does anything hurt?” he asked softly.
His fingers found a spot that made me wince, just behind and above my left ear. “I’m sorry, just take a deep breath,” he said. Closing my eyes, I breathed slowly as he carefully ran his fingers around the area.
“There are no cuts, but you might have a bruise there. Do you have a headache? Do you feel dizzy?”
“I think I’m okay,” I said. There was no way to tell him that I was a bit dizzy from the strange electricity running through me every time he touched my skin.
He nodded, his face turning from stern and rugged to absolutely gorgeous as he smiled. “Let’s get some food into you, and see how you feel in a bit.”
He stood up and turned to the stove, scooping out two bowls of chili and placing a basket of rolls on the table. I took a sip of tea and instantly felt a little brighter.
“That ginger is amazing,” I said.
“Good,” he nodded as he sat down close beside me. “Now don’t be shy, eat up. A little fuel and a good night’s sleep and you’ll be right as rain.” His eyebrow raised. “Nice, pleasant rain.”
He made me smile so easily. “I didn’t want to be any trouble. Thank you for finding me, and for taking care of me.”
He nodded. “It’s no trouble. But we’re going to have a talk tomorrow about maps, and why guests should stick to the trails. I’ll also teach you how to watch the sky, so you can keep an eye on the weather and not get caught next time.”
“To tell you the truth, I’m kind of afraid to leave my cabin again,” I said, blowing on a steaming spoonful of chili. “I should be working more than hiking anyway.”
