with gentle strokes, continuing his soft torment and causing desire to spool once again low in her belly.
He thrust deeper and deeper, forcing her to hold on tighter to make her strokes match his own. Suddenly he grabbed her hips hard and pulled her down on him, somehow impossibly filling her even more. And like a dam breaking, she was exploding in a rush once again, but this time he was there too, breaking with her just as forcefully.
Mika couldn’t believe it. She collapsed on his chest breathing hard, the thump of his heartbeat a drum against her ears. There she was, an animal in the middle of a jungle with this man, this beast, just as she’d dreamed she would be.
Good thing, she told herself, it was just a fantasy.
Chapter 4
As Mika’s eyelids fluttered open, she realized the sun had shifted and was no longer high overhead. It now streamed down on them through the lower hanging branches of what she would forever think of as the most beautiful tree on the planet.
She stayed quiet, careful not to break the spell and stir Ale. Did that really just happen? She mentally snorted. Clearly it did, judging by the very naked man who currently had her in a full body hold. Her head was resting on Alejandro’s solid but soft arm. He was behind her back but still partially covering her with the weight of his body. The feel of his thickness against her thigh was an erotic confirmation of what they had done.
“You’re awake.” His voice came out in a low tumble, the vibration sending a thrill through her body.
She had trouble finding her voice. How does a person speak normally after such an episode? One that you know changed everything forever. “Yes,” she finally croaked out, annoyed with the tinge of nervousness that escaped.
Alejandro ran his hand up her thigh and planted a soft kiss on her shoulder. “Good, because as wonderful as this is...” he replaced his lips with his tongue and gave her a lazy lick, making her shiver... “and delicious as you are, I think we should head back. I wouldn’t want us to get stuck out here once it gets dark. The next time I’ll come more prepared. Maybe have Tong pack us a tent.”
She stilled. Next time? She let the thought wander a moment. But then a breeze ran across her body and she looked around. For the first time, she became fully aware of the fact that she was laying completely naked outside in the open air with Alejandro. She felt something brush across her exposed thigh and shot up without warning, shaking her body and running her hands though her already disheveled hair. This may look like Eden, but it wasn’t. Real life was just around the corner. “Ew, you’re right. Anything could be crawling on us.”
Alejandro was grinning up at her with a look of complete amusement.
“What’s so funny?” she asked, not bothering to hide her growing annoyance.
“You are. Jumping around, looking so cute in all your glory.”
Heat instantly flamed throughout her body as embarrassment took over, and she got a mental image of herself flapping around in the nude like some sort of naked walrus. She used one hand to cover her naked bottom and the other to cover her breasts as she spun around, looking for her bikini.
Ale started to chuckle, as if she was putting on this show for his pleasure. Great. She turned to give him an admonishing look then stopped short, noticing the sparkle in his eyes. The easy, intimate way he looked at her. She couldn’t help but warm under his gaze. He got up with a long stretch, completely unfazed by the jungle or his own nakedness. Mika felt her blood rush to her head. Where were her damned clothes?
She spotted her bottoms at the base of the tree and bent over to retrieve them, fighting hard to hide her embarrassment at the size of her ass. He may be comfortable with this—an on-shoot hookup was probably a regular occurrence for him—but for her...well, it wasn’t. She peeked over her shoulder. There was no hiding. He was
