I giggle and do it again.
“You little shit,” he mutters. He starts running, his powerful body shifting underneath mine. I hold on tighter, a laugh escaping my mouth as we approach the rest of our group in the distance.
And we just barrel past them.
They holler at us as we move farther and farther away, and when I can no longer see them, Sem veers off the trail and into the woods.
“Oh, are you going to tie me up to a tree and fuck me?” I tease. “You have some of those Ted Bundy zip ties with you?”
Sem chuckles darkly, and I swallow because damn, maybe he will do that. Why does that turn me on so much?
Suddenly he stops, and his hands move away from my legs. I slide down his back, but just as my feet hit the ground, he’s on me, picking me up and pressing me against the trunk of a tree. My legs wrap around his waist as his mouth descends on mine. I open for him, letting my tongue slip into his mouth as he growls against me.
When he reaches into his pocket and pulls out a condom and a small packet of lube, I arch an eyebrow at him. “Seriously, Sem? On a hike?”
“I’m always prepared.”
“Were you a Boy Scout too?” I ask.
“Nah, just always horny for you.”
I snort and then unbutton my pants. Whatever. No use in pretending. I’m so ready for it.
Needless to say, we make it to camp long after everyone is already back, and my ass aches, and my back stings. Tree burn is a thing.
Everyone watches us with amused glances, and my face flames because it’s obvious where we disappeared to.
“Got some, huh, bro?” Luke asks loudly, slapping Sem on the back as he walks past.
Sem just tightens his hand over mine and grumbles, “None of your business, asshole.”
His dad calls Sem over to help make dinner, and I grab a beer and sink down on a chair next to Whit. He eyes me with a raised eyebrow, and I roll my eyes. “Donotlook at me like that. It’s obnoxious.”
He huffs. “This is how I normally look.”
“No, you’re judging me, but don’t tell me you wouldn’t have done the same thing if Caleb took you out into the woods….”
His gaze turns toward his fiancé, and a slight smile pulls at his lips. “I do have a hard time saying no to him.”
A snort escapes me, “Yeah, so I’ve heard.”
After a moment of silence, he says, “You fit in here with them.”
“You think?”
“Yeah, I always knew you were a little…unusual.”
I snort. “So are you, asshole.”
Whit eyes me again and then says, “So are you going to share how this started with you two?”
I clear my throat and wonder if I should fib a little but then decide against it. Because really, who cares how it started. What matters is the ending, right?
“Well, Sem broke into my house and dared me to fuck him.”
Whit freezes, that dark gaze of his sliding to meet mine. “You’re joking.”
“No, he literally showed up at my house and said I couldn’t…you know. And I got all competitive. You know how I get….”
