thigh harder. “Someone might walk in.”
“No. There’s no one…” Leslie turned her head and plunged her tongue into
Dev’s mouth.
Groaning, Dev pinched Leslie’s nipple, twisting in time to her pumping hips.
“I’m going to come,” Leslie moaned, her head falling back against the wall. “Oh
Dev, God, I’m really coming.”
Dev felt Leslie’s knees buckle and grabbed her around the waist, holding her up
as she trembled, her face buried against Dev’s shoulder to sti? e her cries. As
Leslie’s orgasm trailed off, Dev cradled Leslie, stroking her hair and her back.
“Okay, baby? You okay?”
“I’m totally humiliated.” Leslie laughed softly. “Talk about no control.”
“You’re so sexy I thought my heart would stop.” Dev nuzzled Leslie’s neck.
“You’re beautiful when you’re like that. When you want me.”
“Oh, Dev.” Leslie lifted her head and kissed Dev softly. “I want you so much I
can’t stand it.” She caressed Dev’s face. “And not just like this, either.”
“We better try to get to the cabin.”
“Are you in a bad way?” Leslie asked teasingly, recognizing the low, husky note
in Dev’s voice.
“I’m afraid something is about to explode.”
“You got to hear me come.” Leslie nipped at Dev’s chin. “Let me watch you.”
Dev sucked in a breath. “Here?”
Leslie stroked Dev’s breasts, then reached down and popped the button on her
? y. “Yes. It makes me crazy thinking about you making yourself come.”
“You’ve got me so hot, it’s going to take about two seconds,” Dev whispered,
bracing her arm against the wall next to Leslie’s shoulder.
She slid her hand into her jeans and groaned. “Touch me too. Just touch me
somewhere.”
“Whatever you need,” Leslie murmured, caressing Dev’s stomach and thighs as
Dev tensed, her arm vibrating between her legs. “Feel good?”
“Uh-huh,” Dev managed between gritted teeth. The muscles in her neck stood
out and her thighs quivered as ? re leapt in her belly.
“Oh, Jesus, I’m close.”
Leslie cupped the outside of Dev’s crotch, spreading her ? ngers over Dev’s
where they circled beneath the denim. “Mmm, I can feel you getting ready to go.
You’re almost there, aren’t you?”
“Close,” Dev muttered, “soon, ah almost, Les.”
“Need help, love?” Leslie crooned, licking Dev’s neck.
“Push down on my ? ngers.” Dev groaned as Leslie pressed rhythmically.
“Harder, baby. Harder…har…oh, oh yeah.”
Dev sagged against Leslie as her orgasm hit, and Leslie kissed her, swallowing
her cries of release.
“Beautiful,” Leslie sighed, cradling Dev’s face against her shoulder, caressing her
sweat-streaked cheek. “Thank you.”
“Same here,” Dev muttered, struggling to get her legs under her again. She
braced her arms against the wall once more and pushed upright. Grinning, she
kissed Leslie. “I think we’ve established we missed each other.”
“It would seem that way.” Leslie had never felt anything quite so perfect in her
life, and she wasn’t ready to examine what that meant.
“And since I don’t want to be tempted again until we’re really alone…”
She zipped Dev’s ? y and buttoned her jeans. “There. Can you walk?”
“Just about.”
Leslie wrapped her arm around Dev’s waist. “Let’s go to your cabin.”
“No fooling around on the way.” Dev circled Leslie’s shoulders with one arm,
holding her close. “I have a short recovery phase, and I’ll be ready again soon.”
“I remember.” Leslie rubbed her cheek against Dev’s shoulder. “I have a few
favorite memories for use at bedtime too.”
Dev groaned. “See, you’re starting already.”
“Then we’d better hurry.”
When they reached the cabin, Dev went to the refrigerator and extracted two
India Pale Ales. She opened both and passed one bottle to Leslie, who leaned
against the counter nearby. “I’m glad you’re here.”
“Me too.” Leslie sipped the beer. “Can I ask you something personal?”
The corner of Dev’s mouth rose. “I think we’ve reached that point.”
Unexpectedly uncertain, Leslie studied her beer bottle. “Are you seeing anyone
else?”
Immediately, Dev put her bottle on the counter and cupped
Leslie’s chin. She lifted her face and looked directly into her eyes. “No.
I haven’t been with anyone except you for over a year.” She waited, studying
Leslie’s face. “Natalie and I are friends.”
“I had to ask,” Leslie said quietly. “Because if I think about you with anyone
else it makes me…pretty much insane.”
“I like that.” Dev kissed Leslie softly. “I like that a lot.”
“And I…”
Dev stopped her with another kiss, then eased away and retrieved her beer. Still
watching Leslie, she sipped. “When I was younger, I tortured myself thinking
about you with Mike. Last month, when I thought about you with Rachel, it hurt
so much I couldn’t even let myself get that far. I guess that’s some kind of
progress.”
“There’s no one, Dev. No one I want to touch me except you.”
“I love you, you know,” Dev said softly.
“I love you too. Madly. Do you have any idea what we’re going to do?”
“No,” Dev replied, her expression suddenly unsure.
“Tell you what,” Leslie said, grasping Dev’s hand. “Let’s have dinner with my
parents, because they’ll want to see me and we’ll need to eat if we’re going to
do what I plan on doing for the rest of the night.”
Dev grinned.
“And tomorrow, we’ll talk.”
“That means no touching, then.”
Leslie sighed. “I hope it doesn’t rain, because the only way I can promise that is
if we’re sitting outside in full view of my mother and everyone else in the lodge.”
And considering that just seeing Dev was enough to make her mind melt, she
wasn’t even sure an audience would be enough deterrent.
CHAPTER TWENTY-NINE
Do you think my mother will notice if I only show up for meals?” Leslie laced
her ? ngers through Dev’s as they walked through the woods toward the lodge
