behind him. Plopping the awkward helmet on my head, I snapped the strap under my chin.
“You better hold on like your life depends on it, because it does.” The humor in his voice took away the tremor of fear his words caused to roll through my stomach.
He drove off and my breath caught in my throat at the adrenaline rush. I wrapped my arms tightly around his waist and pressed my face against his back. He smelled incredible and I inhaled deeply. The wind blowing on my face and the speed as he drove felt like being free for the first time in my life.
The vibrations from the bike between my thighs, and holding on to Sin was heady. I didn’t care where he was taking me as long as we never stopped. My hands dug under his shirt and into his six pack abs. I couldn’t help it, I moaned. The wind thankfully carried the sound away. I was shocked when he pulled up to a sign that said State Park.
It was already dark, so I knew we weren’t supposed to enter, but that didn’t stop Sin. He drove for a few miles before parking the bike. My butt was a little numb as he helped me off. “We’re not going to get in trouble are we?”
“Always such a good girl,” shaking his head, he pulled out a flashlight from a side compartment on his bike then grabbed my hand. “Live a little.”
I wanted to be offended by his words, but I guess in many ways he was right. I held his hand tightly as he led me down a well-worn dirt path. It was like we just escaped the big city and were plunged directly into the middle of nature. It was beautiful and terrifying, almost like Sin.
“I think you’ll get a kick out of this shit.” He tugged on my hand as an owl hooted in the distance, paralyzing me.
I had two choices, walk with him, or find my way back to the bike in the dark. It doesn’t take a genius to figure out why I went along with his guiding skills. We walked for what felt like forever with the forest surrounding us.
He came to a stop and I almost plowed into his back. Glancing around him to where the light was shining, I gasped. A small waterfall cascading off the rocks, led into a pool shimmering in the moonlight. It was breathtaking. “How did you find this place?” I was mesmerized by the sounds and sights, and wanted to jump in.
“My mom loved this place. She used to bring me here swimming as a kid.” He sat down on the grass, and began pulling off his shoes. “You coming in?”
It felt like he’d read my mind, but I had a few reservations. “There could be snakes in there.”
“Yeah and they could be surrounding you in the woods too.” Chuckling, he stripped down to his birthday suit and waded in.
I watched his sexy backside move into the water and almost groaned. It didn’t take long to make the decision to join him. I quickly stripped off his leather jacket and my shorts, leaving my sports bra and panties in place. Swimming out to where he stood, I gazed at the waterfall.
It was decently warm but the slight breeze over my arms made me shiver. Sin moved behind me and rubbed my arms. “Guess it would have been smarter to come out here in the sun.”
“I bet it’s more romantic at night.” The minute I said the words I could have kicked myself. He didn’t bring me out here for that, and I didn’t want to spoil the mood.
“I guess so,” he chuckled, continuing to rub my arms, “never been much in the way of romance.” His rough hands rubbing my goose-pimpled arms was arousing. I needed to change the atmosphere.
“Maybe if I ever find Mr. Right, I’ll bring him here.” I wanted to say something to cover up my earlier comment about romance.
He dropped his hands from my arms, and dove under water. When he emerged he began swimming the length of nature’s pool. I watched his massive arms stroke the water with his strength and sighed. He was so powerful in his movements, it was almost like art.
I decided to join him and
