let herself relax very often.
 Out of it, in it, whatever you want.
She caught his hand and stopped his pursuit.  Sorry to disappoint you,
Murdock. But my flight leaves in& , she turned her wrist and glanced at her watch,
 six hours. If we left now, I d be pushing my luck getting to the airport in time.

 She was right, but he wasn t about to let her go without a fight.
Lowering his mouth to her exposed nipple, he circled the tiny orb with his
tongue. It hardened instantly.
 You don t play fair, she told him, squeezing his hand.
Moving lower, he found a sensitive spot below her ribcage with his teeth.
She arched toward him. Her fingers spread and traveled to his hair. Smiling, he
stayed poised over her navel, enjoying the salty taste of her skin.
He sent a puff of heated breath across the curls between her legs. She
moaned, arched, and caused his blood to boil.
 What were you saying? he asked after one pass of his tongue on her
exposed and swollen nub.
 You... She buckled when his lips clasped on and sucked.  Oh, Nick.
Slick heat moistened his lips while her hips met his eager mouth.
He could get used to this. Very used to this.
With his tongue and lips, he moved faster, bringing her to the very edge of
passion. Her hands grasped his head and kept him as close as two people could be,
until her eager cries escalated in the earth-shattering moans of pleasure.
Before her passions crashed to the floor, he rose above her to ease his desire.
With his first thrust, her body shuddered again.
 You re insatiable, he told her.

 A Cheshire cat grin found her lips. In one swift movement, she turned him
on his back and took control. Straddling his pulsating erection, she rode him hard.
Her breasts thrust out in abandon, which he made love to one at a time.
 You started this, Nick.
He felt her sheath clench. He nearly lost it.  Damn, he grit between his
teeth.  I ve never known anyone like you.
 I ll bet you say that to every girl you screw in a cave. Her voice edged on
harsh.
Nick stopped all movements. Eyes locked with hers.
 No, Kari. That s not what I mean.
Worry passed over her face. It vanished quickly. Something changed in that
moment. Nick couldn t put his finger on what, but it did.
She rocked over him, taking him. His body, with a mind of its own, quivered
in mounting desire. Controlling hands guided her hips until she found her pleasure
with a strangled cry.
Only then did he take his release.
But he wasn t fulfilled. Not by a long shot.
They dressed in relative silence, then picked their way along the path of the
cave and onto the trail that brought them to the falls.

 What is he thinking? Kari wondered. She cursed her off handed comments in
the last moments of passion. It was her MO to turn off her lovers before they left.
In this case it was her doing the leaving, but she needed to break the connection
anyway. Didn t she?
For the second time in twenty-four hours, she damned her infliction. If it
wasn t for her secret, maybe she and Nick would have a chance at a real
relationship. But, in twenty-seven days she d turn again. No man would put up
with that.
Half a mile from the cars, Kari heard a rustling in the brush. She stopped and
turned her head to the side. Bears. Nick walked in front of her, deep in his own
thoughts. Oblivious of what was coming.
 Murdock, she hissed.
 What? He turned back.
 Hold up. Kari peered at the hillside to their right. At least three figures
were having breakfast and headed their way.
Nick followed her eyes but the bears weren t in sight yet.
 What, did you see something?
 Come on. She grabbed his hand, and pulled him onto a large rock. From
their perch, the bears would think they were large animals, and with any luck
leave them alone.  What are you doing?

 Reaching the top of the rock, Kari pointed to their foe.
Momma meandered out with her two cubs enjoying the morning sun.
 Holy shit, how did you see them?
 I didn t. I heard them.
Nick gave her a disbelieving look then watched the bears picking their way
through the forest.
Momma took notice of them for a brief moment, contemplated the threat,
then moved her babies along.
Once they passed, Nick turned to her and asked,  What was that all about?
 What do you mean?
 You know damn well what I mean. How did you hear those bears? I hardly
noticed them when they were on top of us.
 Sixth sense, she replied.
 You know, Pierce, you don t lie very well. Your eye does this little twitchy
thing that gives you away every time.
With hands on her hips, Kari stared him down.  I just saved your ass from
what could have been one pissed off Momma. You d think you d be a little more [ Pobierz całość w formacie PDF ]
