***Luke***
M aggie’s bright green eyes flared as she took in a sharp breath. I wasn’t worried that she’d retreat, though. I could feel her desire almost as strong as mine. She lifted her face, offering more of herself to me. “Please kiss me, Luke.”
I kissed her hard, needing to feel her more than I needed to breathe. I gripped her waist and fully hardened against her stomach as her warm flesh filled my hands. She whimpered into my mouth and I lost the little control I had left. Sliding my tongue over the seam of her lips, I growled when she opened for me.
She tasted sweet like maple syrup and felt like hot silk. Her hands gripped my shoulders hard when I moved my hands around to her ass and squeezed. Maggie grunted suddenly and pushed at my shoulders until I moved back a step. Her mouth was red from my kiss and I had to grip my hair to keep from grabbing her again.
“Too much?” I took a ragged breath and then felt all the blood in my body drain to my dick when she reached under her dress. “Maggie?”
She rolled down something that looked like underwear but before I could study it, she threw it into the forest behind her. “I couldn’t breathe.”
I didn’t know what she meant but I didn’t get the impression that she was done with me so I pinned her against the tree again but when I gripped her ass that time, it was different. She was softer.
When I hesitated, she cleared her throat. “It was holding everything in.”
It took me a moment to understand what she meant but when I did, I took my time running my hands over her body. What I felt was somehow even better. I pressed my hips into her and groaned. “Leave that thing out here.”
She laughed but I swallowed the sound with another scorching kiss. Her hands trailed into my hair and she held on tight. Between kisses, she murmured my name and the sound of it on her lips made me want to give her everything I had.
Trailing my mouth down her jaw, I swore as I tasted her soft skin. Cupping her breasts, I pushed them up and raked my teeth over the tops of them. “You’re fucking perfect. So soft.”
Her fingers tightened against my scalp. “ Luke .”
I bit her stiff nipple through her thin dress and kissed my way back up to her mouth. Trailing my hand up her thigh, I stared into her heavy eyes as I tested how far she’d let me go. I was desperate to touch her and when she didn’t stop me, I grazed my knuckle over her panties and felt how damp she was. For me.
Swallowing her moans, I edged my fingers under the side of her panties and slid over her wetness. Her smooth lower lips were slick and hot as I stroked them and I growled at how good she felt. I found her clit and pressed my hips against her hip to ease some of the ache I was feeling in my dick.
She clutched my head in her hands and arched her back, pressing her body into my hand. I took her mouth in a deep kiss while rubbing her clit in tight circles. I craved her pleasure and I could hear how close she already was in the pitch of her moans.
The sound of someone coming down the trail reached my ears and I reacted instantly, pulling Maggie off the trail and to the other side of the tree I’d pinned her against to keep her protected from prying eyes. I’d pulled my hand from between her thighs when I moved her and I already missed the feel of her silky pussy.
I pressed my hand over her mouth and stared into her eyes with what I was sure was an impatient look on my face. I wanted whoever was walking by to get the fuck out of the way so I could make Maggie come. I watched as doubt filled her, though, and knew the moment had passed.
She stayed perfectly still until the person walking by had passed and then she gently pushed me away. Her eyes were wide as she stared up at me. “I shouldn’t have done that.”
I cupped her face in my hand, lightly squeezing. “Go ahead and run away, Maggie. I can tell you want to. I’ll just catch you later.”
She pressed into my body and licked her lips. “I don’t know what to do, Luke. I want this. I want you. It’s just all a mess. I’m sorry.”
I stepped away and forced a smile. “This is far from over.”
She bit her lip and inched away from me. “I need you to stop being so hot. I feel like my body is on fire and you’re making it worse. Jesus, I have to find my spanx.”
“Go. I’ll find it.” I gave her a genuine smile and shook my head. “Go while you still can, sweetheart.”
She moaned and hesitated a second more before turning and hurrying away. I turned to the rest of the woods and easily spotted her discarded spanx. Scooping it up, I folded it and carried it back to the lodge with a pep in my step. I’d gotten my mouth and hands on Maggie after six long years of waiting. There wasn’t a chance in hell that I was backing off after feeling her.
The only thing in my way happened to be the same thing that had been in my way all along. Only instead of Brad, it was Ryan and Jackson in my way. I snapped off a group text to them, asking them to meet me to talk. It was time to stake my claim. I wasn’t missing a chance with Maggie again. I was serious about her. I wanted to take care of her and give her the world. If my brothers had any intentions less than that, they needed to fuck off.
