Temptation (The Hunted, #1)(43)

"I'm all about getting caught in the rain. But I prefer scotch."

"I like how sophisticated you are."

"Penny, nothing I'm going to do to you here is sophisticated."

I gulped. "What do you have in mind?"

He reached over and touched the strap of my tank top. "Well, I don't think you need this anymore."

I put down my drink and pulled my tank top off over my head. He reached over, undid the button on my jean shorts, and slowly unzipped them. I lifted my hips slightly and he slowly pulled my shorts down my thighs and off my legs.

I felt myself blush as he looked at me in my bikini. He stood up and took off his shirt. Now I was the one staring at him. He had an Adonis belt worthy of the god himself. He offered me his hand and pulled me to my feet.

"Want to go for a swim?"

"Yes, just let me put some sunscreen on first."

He laughed. "It's almost the end of September. I'm sure you'll be fine."

"Stop being a bad influence for one second. I get burnt crazy easily." I sat back down and pulled the sunscreen out of my bag.

He kneeled back down on his towel and took the bottle from me. "Let me do it for you then. Lie down."

I lay down on my stomach. He lightly touched my back.

"Penny, I'm so sorry."

I knew he was referring to the small cuts on my back. The bark from the tree had left a few marks. "The risks of having sex on a golf course I guess. It doesn't hurt, though."

He gently started to massage the sunscreen onto my shoulders and arms. "Are you sure it doesn't hurt?"

"I'm sure." I wanted to change the subject. I didn't want him to feel bad about what had happened on the golf course. It was one of the best moments of my life. "You know, when I was younger I used to be so envious of all the girls on the boardwalk that had boyfriends. I couldn't wait until I was older. Holding hands on the boardwalk seemed like the epitome of romance."

He rubbed the lotion underneath the strings of my bikini and began to massage my lower back. "So did you force your high school boyfriends to take you here? To show all the other girls up?"

All of my senses seemed on alert when his hands were on me. Except for my hearing. I had been too distracted to hear what he had said.

"Yes. I mean, no. I'm sorry, what did you say? I wasn't paying attention."

He laughed. "So you must have brought all your high school boyfriends here. Turn over."

"No. I wish." I rolled onto my back and propped myself up on my elbows.

"Couldn't get them to take you here, huh?" He rubbed his hands across my stomach. They dipped slightly below the top of my bathing suit bottom.

It was so hard to concentrate on what he was saying. His hands were so distracting. I took a deep breath. "No, I mean I didn't have any boyfriends in high school." I closed my eyes. Why did I just tell him that? He was going to think I was weird. But I am weird. I opened my eyes and was surprised to see him smiling at me.

"I wouldn't have guessed that, Penny. But I find it incredibly adorable." His hands rubbed across my collarbone and then right above my breasts. His hands lingered for a moment. "Your heart's beating so fast."

I gulped and sat up. "You make me nervous."

He looked satisfied with my response. "Ready for that swim?"

"It'll take a minute to dry."

"Okay, then do me."

"What?" My heart began to beat even faster.

He laughed and tossed me the bottle of sunscreen. "Get your mind out of the gutter, Penny. I'm trying to be a good influence here." He lay down on his stomach.

I liked when his hands were on me, but I was excited to get to really explore his body. I straddled him and began to massage his back. I had never seen such a perfectly sculpted body before, let alone gotten to touch it. His back was so muscular. And he had two small dimples on either side of his spine, right above his shorts. I let my hands dip slightly below his waistline.

"You're getting a little frisky there," he teased.

"I just don't want you to get burnt," I responded quickly. I moved my hands to his shoulders and then down his muscular arms. His biceps flexed slightly under my touch. He was so sexy. So perfect. How was I getting so turned on by this?

"Okay, roll over."

He followed my instructions and then put his hands under his head so he could watch me. I liked straddling him. He was staring at me. Crap. I completely forgot what I was supposed to be doing. I quickly squirted some sunscreen into my hands and massaged it onto his chest. I could feel his eyes on me and it was hard not to blush.

I moved my hands down to his abs. I could feel his cock hardening, slowly pressing harder against me. He thought this was hot too. I kept my hands on his abs way longer than necessary. The tip of my finger slowly traced down his happy trail. I looked up and saw his Adam's apple rise and then fall. I smiled at him.

"Enjoying yourself?" I asked.

"Very much so. I like being responsible."

I dipped my hand slightly below the waist of his shorts and his body tensed. He wanted me to touch him. I moved my hand a little lower and then quickly pulled it out of his shorts. "Ready for that swim?"
