She tried using her hands instead, but no sooner had she cuppedAmanda’s breasts than Amanda’s fingers once again wound around her wrists.Amanda pinned them over her head. “Not yet.”
Truth be told, she was stronger than Amanda and could have turnedthe tables. But she didn’t want to. She wanted to let Amanda have her fun andto see where things went. She let her arms go limp and let out another sigh.“Fine.”
“Good answer.”
Amanda spent a few minutes sliding over Quinn’s body, kissing andteasing as she went. She sucked Quinn’s nipples; she nipped her ribs. WhenAmanda undid her belt and the button of her hiking shorts, Quinn lifted herhips to make it easier for Amanda to get them off.
Amanda stood and unbuttoned her own shorts, sliding them down herlegs slowly. The come-hither smile was almost enough to make Quinn haul herselfout of bed and toss Amanda on it. She resisted, but barely.
Amanda slinked back onto the bed but stopped halfway up Quinn’sbody. She locked eyes with Quinn and there was no mistaking her intent. It feltso strange not to please Amanda first, but the strangeness vanished when Amandaslicked her tongue up and over her clit. She arched instinctively.
Amanda pulled her mouth away. “Aren’t you always the one tellingme to be still?”
She gritted her teeth. She had said that to Amanda on more thanone occasion. “Yes.”
“Think you can manage?”
Quinn dropped her head again and laughed. “Yes, ma’am.”
Amanda’s mouth—her sweet, hot, perfect mouth—returned. She letout a moan, but she didn’t move. Not to be unfair or anything, but she wasn’tsure how much she could take being on the teased end of things.
Fortunately, Amanda didn’t tease for long. And when Quinncouldn’t stop her body from moving, from seeking the release that felt at onceso close and so far away, Amanda didn’t stop her. The orgasm took her and shedidn’t even try to stop it.
When her pulse finally slowed and she was able to catch herbreath, she turned the tables. Even though Amanda’s teasing had been fairlytame, Quinn gave it back to her in spades. When Amanda came, Quinn barelyslowed the movements of her hands and mouth. When Amanda came a second time,she called out with abandon. Such an incredible sound—pure and visceral—it madeQuinn’s heart tremble in her chest. She pulled Amanda into her arms, not quiteready to accept what that tremble so clearly signified.
Amanda sank into Quinn’s embrace as she came down. As her bodyand mind stilled, she began to trace circles on Quinn’s chest with the tip ofher finger. “I have to say, I think I could get used to rustic.”
“Could you now?” Quinn kissed the top of her head, making hersmile.
“Absolutely. It’s so peaceful up here. So relaxing. And clearly,the lack of neighbors makes me more than a little uninhibited.”
Quinn shifted, nudging Amanda onto her back and rolling on top ofher. “I like you uninhibited.”
“You bring out something in me I didn’t even know was there.”
“Good.”
She let out a contended sigh. “I literally can’t tell you thelast time my body felt this amazing.”
Quinn kissed her. “Does that mean you’re ready for a hike?”
She closed one eye and made a face. “Yes?”
Quinn kissed her. “I was kidding. I think we’ve exerted enough.”
“Oh, thank God.” She would have hiked. She wasn’t a wimp.
“I thought we could take a shower, build a fire, start makingdinner.”
Now they were talking. “Shower?”
“Come with me.” Quinn took her hand and helped her up. Withoutletting go, she went to the lone closet in the cabin and pulled out a pair oftowels.
Amanda looked around, realizing the room was a perfect square,save a small water closet that definitely didn’t have room for anything besidesa toilet. “Wait. There’s no bathroom. You promised running water.”
“There is. I wouldn’t lie about such a thing.” Quinn pulled herto the cabin door.
Amanda stopped short. “We’re naked.”
“And there is no one around for miles and miles.”
She frowned. They hadn’t seen another soul, or another house, forthe last fifteen minutes or so of the drive. Still. “Are you sure?”
Quinn kissed her nose. “Maybe we’ll give the bears a show.”
“Bears?” It came out more as a squeak than a word, but she didn’tcare. They most definitely had not discussed bears.
“They’re more scared of you than you are of them. Promise.”
“Yeah, not helping.”
“But I’ve distracted you from fretting about the shower, right?”
Amanda laughed because she had. “Maybe a little.”
“I promise no bears are going to wander up to the cabin in themiddle of the afternoon.”
She wasn’t sure how Quinn could make such a promise, but freakingout about the possibility wouldn’t do her any good. And she did want a shower.Sexy weekends required showers. “All right.”
Quinn led them out the single door and around the side of thecabin. A tidy flagstone path covered the ten or so steps it took to get fromthe door to the shower. Even without the threat of being seen, it felt so weirdto be outside naked in the middle of the day. Weird, but also kind of freeing.The sun peeked through the leaves and kissed her skin. The breeze was like afull body caress.
The shower was enclosed on three sides by the cabin and a pair ofcedar plank walls. There were hooks for their towels and a bench. The floor wasdone in smooth river stones that massaged the bottoms of her feet.
“And it’s warm?”
Quinn smiled. “I promised you hot water, didn’t I? There’s asmall water heater that runs on propane.”
Amanda grinned in return. “Doesn’t sound rustic at all.”
Quinn reached around her and turned on the water. After fiddlingwith the knob and letting it run for a few seconds, she motioned for Amanda tostep under the spray. “I’ll be honest, putting the shower outside was morechoice than necessity.”
She dunked her head and the warm water sluiced over her. Sunlightpoured in, along with the breeze. Quinn’s arms came around her. She blinked hereyes open and found Quinn staring at her. “You know, I’m coming to see theappeal.”
They took turns lathering each other and rinsing off. Quinnpressed a kiss to
