replied.
“Uh-huh .”
They drove along in silence for a while with the scents of spring coming into the truck from the open windows. There had been snow for Easter , and in Alaska it was n’t a few inches but a few feet. The drive was slow enough that she could hear the water from the winter thaw making the streams bigger in size as the water rushed through. The air had a hint of a chill as they drove.
They got to the clearing and it was just as she recalled it from last winter . Flowers bloomed in a ll different colors , and the purple irises were always her favorite against the vivid green grass. You could say a lot about Alaska , but when spring to ok hold it was amazing to see. Blues, reds, yellows and even orange flowers made the meadow look like a carpet of color come to life , and as before it made catch her breath. Stavros parked the truck on the outskirts of where the flowers began. She was glad he didn’t barrel through and crush them .
He got out and stretched. “Now I have to admit , this is beautiful. The tiger in me wants to go out there and just lay with the sun on my back.”
“You should after we eat,” Amari said and winked. “Don’t worry , I won ’ t peek while you get naked.”
“I wish you would,” Stavros tone was serious when he said the words. He looked away quickly. “ I’m sorry, I have no damn right to be flirting with you.”
He didn’t understand the heat that infused her body by his words alone. Amari walked around the truck and wrapped her hands around his waist.
“You have e very right to be flirting with me, Stavros . I like it,” she said , looking up at him.
He shook his head and his lips tightened. “I t ’ s all well and good that we’re friends . Amari , look at me . Y ou seen the scar s on my body , and the ones on my face won ’ t ever go away. I don’t know if I’ll ever be whole again.”
She reached up and ran her fingers along the line of scars on his face. He tried to pull away from her touch , but she wouldn’t let him. He sighed as if in defeat and turned his face to her caress.
“These don’t make you any less handsome, ” she murmured. “You’ve gone through so much and come out on top , and your scars more than tell a story of y our heroism. You’re not broken either, Stavros . Y ou’re so damn strong and stubborn . A nd do you know how long I’ve been waiting for you to kiss me?”
“Just throwing that in at the end there , huh?” he said huskily .
“No , you better kiss me or I’m going to go crazy on you,” she said and gave a small laugh.
“While I’d love to see that , I opt for the first choice.” He cupped the back of her neck and she gasped at his touch. “I’ve dream ed of kiss you for so long now.”
“Do it, before I die from wanting to taste you,” she whispered.
With a groan , he swooped in and took her mouth in a kiss that blew her socks off. His tongue licked at her lips , begging for entrance into the recesses of her mouth , and she let him in. She moaned and pressed herself more fully against his body , and his hands travelled down to her hips.
With a s w ift move he pressed her against the truck , and she could feel his erection between them. If he felt so big with his pants on , she wondered how it would feel with him naked and ready to press into her. His hard thighs would probably spread her apart and the thickness of his length stretch the wall s of her pussy. The erotic thought made her jerk in response and she almost came. She’d never wanted a man as much as she wanted Stavros at that very moment. They’d know each other for a year , and being with him felt so very right.
He lifted his head. “ I should stop before I lose control. You taste so good, Amari . I could drown myself in you right now.”
“Remember when I said I wouldn’t peek if you got naked to shift into your tiger?” s he asked.
He chuckled. “Yeah I remember.”
“I’d like to amend that statement to please get
