Sudden Desire (4 page)

“I made those reservations after you called me when she was sucking your cock in
the background. It was one of those Kodak moments.” Her voice was dry.

“She’s not even very good at it,” he said and she snorted. “Really.”

“Trevor, next you’ll be telling me that you really respect all of the women that you
fuck. Don’t bullshit me, boy. I know all of your dirty laundry. I was your personal
laundress for years.”

“I respect you.” He colored when she sent him one of those knowing looks. “Okay,
so I didn’t. I’m sorry. I took you for granted. But I will treasure you from now on. I’ll
give you a big raise. More time off. Season tickets to the Lakers. Courtside.”

Avarice lit her eyes. “Oh ho! The raise was a so-so enticement but the tickets, ah!” He laughed. “I didn’t know you were a fan.”

“Well, you would have if you ever asked me if I wanted the tickets you always gave
to everyone else.” She snorted.

“Okay, okay. So I’ve been blind. I’m not now.”

Chapter Three

After a night of extremely hot sex, Trevor awoke to an empty bed. Groaning, he
picked up his watch from the nightstand to see it was already noon.

Getting dressed in shorts and foregoing the shirt, he went downstairs and saw her in
the small kitchen.

“I thought you’d run again,” he said with a smile, stalking to her and pulling her
close. He dipped down to claim her mouth for a kiss and that heat stole over him again.
He’d never been roused this way before. He was practically panting for the woman.

“Well,” she gasped as he ended the kiss, “good morning to you, too. Up for an
excursion?”

“Like back to bed for some enthusiastic sex?”

She laughed. “No. You probably didn’t see much last night but we’re right in the
middle of a rain forest. There are waterfalls and rivers and mountains and ferns taller
than you are. I was heading out to see some petroglyphs today. I’ve packed a lunch for
two if you want to come with me.”

How could he refuse her? Her face shiny with excitement, she stood there grinning.
No makeup, just cute shorts and a T-shirt with her hair up again.

“Okay, sounds interesting. I’ll grab a shirt and some shoes.” And some condoms.

And in minutes they’d gotten in the car and she was pointing out some of the scenic
highlights. And she’d been correct, the Olympic National Park was amazing and lush.
The trees were gigantic and everything was so damned green and clean.

She pulled into a small parking lot. “What? Is this it?”

“We need to rent a canoe. I called ahead when I arrived. It’s reserved. Come on and
bring the cooler and my backpack, it’s got a blanket.”

He followed, happy to watch the sway of that luscious ass. She was just as efficient
in renting the boat as she was in everything else. She’d charmed the geezer behind the

counter so much he threw in ice-cream sandwiches as a bonus.

On the docks, Trevor watched her as she ate. That was another rarity, seeing a
woman with a real appetite and a body with curves. She was fit but rounded. Her hips
were sexy to hold on to. She seemed to do everything with relish.

“I haven’t had an ice-cream sandwich in years,” he laughed as they got into the
canoe and he pushed off from shore.

“Ice cream is one of life’s greatest pleasures, Trev. You shouldn’t deny yourself the
simple things.”

They were both quiet as they paddled. The muscles in her upper arms were tight
and he got harder and harder as he watched her move in the sunlight.

“I brought you a hat, it’s in my backpack,” she called over her shoulder.

She was fucking psychic, there was no other explanation for her always anticipating
just exactly what he needed. He slid the baseball cap on and immediately felt better. The sun was shining off the water and the temperature had risen several degrees since they’d
left the cabin.

“Ah, here they are.” They brought the canoe up to a natural rock wall and looked at
the ancient paintings there. “Amazing.” She took shots with her digital camera and they
slowly paddled past to the shore.

“Come on then. Let’s find some shade and eat.”

They pulled the canoe onto shore near a shaded spot and laid everything out.

“First, I’m going to take a dip. I’m hotter than hell.” She peeled off her clothes to reveal a bikini underneath and his mouth dried up as she waded into the water and
swam out a bit.

He wasn’t wearing a bathing suit but no one was around anyway so he got naked
and followed her.

“FUCK! This water is cold,” he called as he swam to her.

Laughing, she turned her face up to the sun overhead. “It’s hot enough to be refreshing. You big baby.”

“I’ll show you,” he growled and pulled her to him, both treading water. She was
cool and soft against him, eyes shining with amusement and just plain happiness. “C’
mere and smooch me.”

“Gladly,” she murmured, tipping her head so he could access her lips fully.

She tasted of sunshine and fresh water and sex. Damn it, he should not want her so
badly but oh how he did.

He towed her to shore, her arms around his neck, upper body resting on his while
he swam on his back.

“We don’t have towels.”

She laughed. “It’s ninety degrees, Trev. We’ll dry.” Looking down, her laughter
caught in her throat. “I see you didn’t suffer any shrinkage.”

Laughter bubbled from him. “Not at all. Now come back to the blanket with me. I
want to warm up by putting my cock inside you.”

This Trevor was damned attractive and dangerous to her peace of mind. Tess hadn’t
seen him
carefree
before. She’d seen cocky amusement and jaded humor. Lots of sarcasm
and even an edge of smug bitterness. But never carefree. Which was sad given that he

provided entertainment for millions with his movies. This Trevor was someone she
liked.

Tess pushed him back to the blanket and onto his back. She scrambled atop his body, straddling him. “You have such a gorgeous body. I know you know that, but you
do.” Leaning down, she kissed a bead of water that had collected on the tip of his nose.

Kissing a trail down over his lips, she stopped to savor the dip in his chin before
skimming up the line of his jaw and to the sweet hollow just behind it and below his ear.

His hands rested hot and easy against her thighs. Her skin was cool from the water
but his was so warm and hard against hers. The contrast was delightful. When he moved
to untie her top she stopped him.

“Let me do this. I want to taste you, give you pleasure.”

Grip tightening at the unexpected bloom of emotion in his chest, he swallowed past
it. She gave him so much.

“Okay, bossy. Give it to me, then,” he said, putting his cocky grin in place to cover
his emotions.

Scooting down his body, she kissed across his collarbone and stopped to lave the
hollow of his throat.

His cock, already hard, nudged against her and she gasped at the contact. That was
one place her flesh was hot.

“God, let me fuck you, Tess,” Trevor moaned.
“In due time, Trev. Be patient.”

She found her way to his nipple and scraped her teeth over it, bringing a jerk of his muscles and a gasp from his lips. The night before had been frenzied and she couldn’t
remember details. It was more impressions of yearning, straining, arching, sweating,
fucking. But this—this would be a memory she’d savor forever. If she couldn’t have him,
she’d have her memories.

Her clit might be pierced but she was not a casual dating kind of woman. She felt
things for Trevor Ryan, things she couldn’t afford to be alone in feeling. It was one thing
to be protective of him as his PA. To make sure he ate well and took care of himself. But
they’d passed that and she felt more than protective of him. Over the years she’d been
telling herself it was just a crush but she’d come to realize the first few days at the cabin
and especially after the night before that she loved him. So she’d take the next days and
wring every last experience she could out of it. A summer romance beyond her previous imagining. But when she got on that plane back home, she had to put it all out of her
mind.

Until then though...

Moving down again, she trailed her tongue over each rib and over the muscles of his
abdomen. She swirled her tongue around his navel and looked up into his eyes before
moving her body down that last bit and settling between his thighs.

His cock practically shoved into her mouth of its own accord, which was fine with
her.

“Oh god, yeah. That’s the way,” Trevor said in a low, desire-rough voice. His hands
slid over her shoulders and up into her hair, releasing it from the ponytail. Cool, wet
curls fell over his skin.

She loved the way he felt in her mouth, against her tongue. Loved finding the places
that made him gasp aloud, made his muscles tremble. The head of his cock was round
and meaty and she loved the way it felt deep inside her pussy. In her mouth it was
almost like a salty, tangy candy.

His balls lay in her palm and she squeezed softly, making him take his breath in
sharply. In passion, not pain.

“Tess, you’re so good. Your mouth on me feels so damned hot. But if you don’t stop
now I’m going to come.”

She pulled off him for a moment. “That’s the idea.”

Gripping her shoulders, he brought her up to his lips. “Later. Right now, I want to
be inside you. I want you to ride me, Tess.”

“Condom?”

Reaching out, he grabbed his pants and pulled one out and she laughed. “You must
have been a Boy Scout when you were young. Always prepared.”

Rolling it on, she quickly untied the side of her bikini bottom and shoved it aside.
She moved, positioning herself above him. He felt the inferno of her cunt just above the head of his cock. Catching her bottom lip between her teeth bewitched him for a moment
until she slammed herself down onto him.

The shock of the intensity of the pleasure he felt at that moment made his vision
swim. “Fuck!”

“Yeah.” She grinned and began to move.

He arched, seeking to fill her as deeply as he could. The curtain of her flesh parted
each time she descended onto him and pulled back at him as she moved up until only
the head of his cock remained inside.

She looked glorious there in the dappled sunshine sifting through the trees. He
smelled the warm earth, the water from the lake, the moss. The water lap, lap, lapped at
the shore and that seemed to echo off the wet sounds of their union. He smelled her
skin, warmed by desire and sunshine and her honey. Oh god, the scent of her desire
drove him insane with need. No one smelled like Tess. She was one of a kind. Fuck. He’ d never have anything else this good. He knew it to the bottom of his soul.

Reaching down, he dragged some of her lube up to her clit and played around it
and that damned sexy ring. He wasn’t entirely sure why the clit ring did him in to the
extent it had. It wasn’t the only one he’d seen up close and personal but on her it worked
like gasoline on an open fire.

Her cunt gripped at him as her climax settled into her body. He liked that he knew
her body so well after such a short time of being intimate. But she was open. So
deliriously, wonderfully open that she was a shining thing. Brilliant really. He watched
the flush creep up her torso, saw her nipples darken and elongate. Her head lolled back,
hands gripped his thighs as she arched.

A long sigh escaped her as orgasm claimed her. Coming with him embedded deep
inside her was nearly too much to process. It felt so good as she squirmed, losing her
rhythm in the delirium of pleasure. It went on and on. Dimly she knew he’d begun to
thrust up into her. She felt his thigh muscles tighten and loosen against the inside of her own. His pelvic bone ground into hers, dragging out her orgasm.

She looked so fucking gorgeous up there above him, coming. Coming hard. Her face

was a mask of concentration, muscles tight. Even as his own climax claimed him he
watched her, falling.

They paddled back to the rental place quietly as the late afternoon sun played on
the water. They’d shared a lunch, naked beneath the shade of the trees, and taken
another swim before deciding to head back.

The intensity of what they’d had on that blanket sobered them both. A quiet kind of
desperation filled Trevor as they drove back to the cabin.

That evening, after he’d showered, she’d cooked a simple meal and they cleaned up
side by side in the very small kitchen. He liked the natural intimacy they’d developed. There was nothing taxing about Tess. She was straightforward and complicated in the right ways. He realized then that maybe he did know her better than he thought he did.
He’d just been blind to the full extent of what he’d been taking for granted.

“I have a surprise, Trev.”

He turned to catch the infectious smile on her face and mirrored it. “What? We’ve
already done it on the table and here on the counter.”

Rolling her eyes, she opened the freezer and pulled out two popsicles. “Fifty Fifty
bars! Or they call them creamsicles now, I guess. Anyway, I saw them at the little store
and bought them for just such an occasion.” She grabbed his hand and tugged him out
toward the lake.

They settled, feet dangling in the water, eating popsicles in the pink light of not
quite night.

“I haven’t had a summer vacation this wonderful since I was a kid.”
She turned to him. “Yeah? Tell me.”

“Oh, well, we didn’t have a lot when I was growing up but my parents saved all
year long to take one three-week vacation every summer. We’d go to Flathead Lake—
you know I’m from Montana—and camp in my uncle’s pop-up camper. My sister and I
would swim and run and play all day and if my dad was in a really good mood—or
maybe when he just wanted to be alone with my mom—he’d let us sleep out under the
stars in sleeping bags. Cindy, my sister, would ride herd on me during the school year
to hoard my extra change so we’d have money to buy Big Sticks at the general store at
the campground.”

“Yeah, I’m sure a popsicle can’t hold a candle to the week you took in the Bahamas
three months ago,” she laughed, cocking her head.

“You know, it’s the other way around. This is better. I haven’t had an actual vacation
that was this relaxing since Flathead Lake.”

The yearning in his voice touched her deeply and she scooted closer to him and put
her head on his shoulder. The more he opened up, the more he gave her of his life, the
deeper she fell.

“Let me take you to dinner tonight at the restaurant at the lodge. Our last date
before we go home tomorrow.”
