Excerpt
Dylan
grasped Erica’s hand, and they walked across the clearing to the
creek.
Water
sloshed gently along the bank, and mosquitoes flew above the rippling
waves.
“Have
you ever gone swimming here?” Erica smiled as she looked out over
the water.
“Yup,
lots of times when I was younger.” Dylan stroked a lock of her
silky blonde hair between his fingers. “You want to swim?”
“I
don’t have a bathing suit.”
“You
don’t need one. We’re all alone.” Excitement quickened his
pulse as he stepped back and jerked off his dress shirt. He toed off
his shoes, leaned down to pull off his socks, and dropped his slacks.
Commando underneath, he kicked away the pants and stood buck-ass
naked. Springy grass cushioned his feet, and he dug his toes into the
soft dirt. His cock was hard and thick; the damn organ strained
upright, apparently reaching for Erica.
Her
breath seemed to hitch in her throat as she trailed her gaze down his
body.
His
brazenness probably shocked her, but aroused her as well.
“You
going in fully clothed?” Challenge rang in his tone. Dylan wanted
to kick his own ass for jumping a few steps too far and too fast into
their budding relationship, but he wouldn’t back down now unless
she told him to.
Erica
licked her lips and yanked off her blouse, likely before she lost her
nerve. She undressed just as quickly as Dylan did, but left on her
lacy bra and panties. Then she clamped her arms around her chest and
stomach as though suddenly self-conscious.
“Don’t
do that.” Dylan gently gripped her arms and pulled them down to her
sides.
Erica’s
chest heaved as she breathed, and the creamy mounds of her breasts
nearly swelled over the cups of her bra. Her hips flared wide, and
her stomach dimpled with soft curves.
Dylan
coughed to find his voice. Her long legs would likely walk a mile
over his heart, but he hardly cared. “Don’t hide from me. You’re
beautiful, Erica. Never forget that.”
Her
eyelids lowered as she shuttered her gaze. “You don’t think I’m
a little heavy?”
He
cupped his hands on her hips and kneaded the smooth flesh. “Heavy?
Hell no. You’re curvy, baby, and that’s a good thing. When I
touch a woman, I don’t like feeling her ribcage or her pelvic bones
through flat hips. Some girls starve themselves to look like anorexic
fashion models, but I don’t find that look attractive.”
Erica
blinked and stared back up at him.
“You’re
beautiful, Erica. When I touch you, I feel strength. I’m not afraid
I’ll hurt you. You’re healthy, too, and that’s the most
important thing.”
“You
are so different from what I’m used to.”
