“Well, you aren’t just going to leave me alone in here, are you?”
I crossed my arms. “I have no interest in getting my clothes wet.”
“I’ll look away.”
I hesitated, and Quill gave me a pout. I couldn’t help but grin as I motioned him to turn around.
Am I really going to strip in the middle of the woods?
I studied the muscles in Quill’s back, and after debating it for a few more seconds, I slowly began to remove my clothing.
My overdress fell first, then my chemise. My hands trembled as I quickly removed my undergarments and discarded them on the ground.
And there I was. Entirely bare for the world.
I dipped my toes into the water and slowly lowered myself in, just the bottom of my hair getting wet. The last thing I needed was my mascara pouring down my face.
“May I turn around?” he asked.
“I suppose.”
Quill spun around, then looked at me with a playful grin.
“Oh, stop your gawking,” I giggled as I splashed him.
“It is of great difficulty not to.”
I splashed him again, and his eyes widened in excitement as he splashed me back. “It’s not wise to start a battle you cannot win, remember?”
“You don’t think I can takeyou, Quill?”
He smirked, inched closer to me, and dipped his head down, the water line just below his nose. I could feel my heartbeat quickening as he gripped my waist, pulling me on top of one of his thighs, my sex now resting on his bare skin.
My eyes enlarged as he pushed his leg higher, pressing it into me, and I inhaled sharply at the pleasurable feeling. My hands shook as they gripped his shoulders. He then gently spit the water he had collected in his mouth over my lips, not hiding that wicked amusement in his eyes. I felt desperate pressure between my legs.
Fuck.
I squealed as he lifted his leg slightly higher, causing part of my body to emerge from the water.
My eyes quickly shot downward at myself, noting the droplets dripping down my now-exposed breasts, and then drifted back to Quill’s face. My chest was rising and falling, my body trembling as he took my appearance in.
What if he doesn’t like what he sees? What if I repulse him?
My breathing became labored. I believed my body to be decent enough, but I had never let anyone see me like this before.
“Lena,” he whispered in a sultry voice, his eyes now trailing up from my breasts to meet mine with an intensity I’d never seen before. “You’re even more beautiful than I imagined.”
I exhaled as he slid his left hand down to my ass and wrapped his right arm around my waist, pulling me close.
What I had been dreaming of for weeks came true as he tugged me close and pressed his lips against mine.

Hegentlybegantopull away, but I wouldn’t have that. I grabbed the sides of his face and pressed my lips onto his again, parting my mouth and then sucking on his bottom lip. He moaned softly, a noise that sent heat throughout my body.
He slid his tongue into my mouth. His sweet taste had me running my hands through his hair as our tongues did delicate circles around one another. Over and over and over again.
