If the financial institution with its century-old constructing is essentially the most magnificent factor ever created by man, then this waterfall is the proper masterpiece created by nature. The cascading water, shimmering beneath the daylight, rejuvenates my weary soul. It’s price all the difficulty we—I went via to rise up right here. Jax barely appears out of breath.

My light big, sensing my fatigue, smiles and suggests we take a break, one suggestion I’m blissful to comply with. I drop onto the grass and fall again on my again like I did after we arrived on the cabin a number of days in the past, and after I flip to take a look at Jax, it’s to seek out him staring down at me with one thing near a smile on his lips.

I flash him a smile again, anticipating him to affix me, however as an alternative, he drops his backpack to the bottom, and my cheeks flush pink when he strips all the way down to his boxers and dives into the crystal-clear pool beneath the waterfall. The water envelopes him, and I watch with rising lust as the person surfaces out of the water like he’s freaking Aqua Man or one thing. His physique suits the invoice with these completely sculpted muscle tissue that I could or could not have drooled on whereas sleeping in his arms.

“Leap in, Gwen. The water will allow you to loosen up after the hike.” He extends his hand for me to take, and I pressure myself to my ft. I strip out of my shorts and high, leaving me in solely my panties and bra, which has my cheeks flaming in embarrassment.

Jax has already seen each a part of me. After the whole lot we’ve performed again on the cabin, there may be barely something mysterious left about us, nevertheless it doesn’t assist curb my nerves as I strategy Jax and take his hand with mine.

He pulls me in, his large arms catching me earlier than I can fall face-first into the water. He’s proper, the water feels superb, a bit cooler than it seemed, however as soon as my physique has adjusted, it’s nearly blissful.

Even so, nothing compares to the sensation of Jax’s muscle tissue and the way they really feel in opposition to me. We’re speculated to be having fun with the surroundings, however his heated contact is sufficient to have me forgetting the place we’re.

Something past his contact blurs into the background.

“Are you alright?” Jax whispers, however his eyes have already dropped to my lips, and the truth that I can already really feel his erection pushing in opposition to my abdomen solely makes my intercourse pulse with want.

“I’m nice,” I whisper, wrapping my arms round his shoulders and my legs round his waist, rocking onerous in opposition to his erection. He makes a strangled noise as he tightens his maintain round me, and I whimper when his erection brushes my pulsing intercourse. “Need you, Daddy,” I moan, and people appear to be the magic phrases as the following factor I do know, Jax has stripped each of us naked, and he’s driving his cock into me like a maniac. My bra hangs unfastened round my waist as my lover sucks roughly on my pebbled nipples.

I don’t know how I went from understanding nothing about intimacy to leaping this man each time he’s close to. I can’t get sufficient of him, and by the appears of issues, it appears the sentiment is returned.

I lose myself within the need this man attracts from me, and after I climax along with his identify on my lips and—in my coronary heart—I understand that I’m effectively and actually fucked. Each actually and figuratively.

Falling for this man when our future is so unsure is insanity on my half, however I can’t assist myself. I refuse to concentrate on how a lot of a foul concept it’s, and as an alternative concentrate on this man and this second.

The day solely will get higher after we spend slightly extra time by the waterfall earlier than heading again to the cabin the place we spend the remainder of the afternoon fishing within the pond. Effectively, Jax does all of the fishing, and I speak his ear off about my life, however he doesn’t appear to thoughts. He even lights a hearth exterior the place we grill the fish, and the whole lot feels good.

Till it doesn’t.

After dinner, I’m going inside to make use of the toilet, and on my method, again, I hear my identify. For a second, I believe Jax is looking out to me, however quickly understand that’s not the case. He’s on a name on his satellite tv for pc telephone and he’s speaking about me, however I solely catch his finish of the dialog.

“. . . how for much longer do we have to keep right here, Matthew?”

His brother should say one thing he doesn’t like, as a result of he lets out an irritated huff. “You could hurry up and catch these bastards, so Gwen can get again to her life. I do know you’re working onerous, however it’s good to work tougher. We will’t conceal on this cabin eternally; we each have lives.”

I wince on the roughness in his voice and his harsh phrases, feeling a bit sorry for the officer. I guess he and his companion are doing their greatest to trace down everybody concerned within the theft and don’t should be bossed round by Jax on this method.

A heaviness settles in my chest when it slowly dawns on me that regardless of what number of smiles Jax provides me or how a lot he touches me, he’s nonetheless counting all the way down to the times till I might be out of his hair. If that’s not the case, then why wait till I’m gone to make the decision? And why does he sound so determined for us to return to our regular lives?

Who is aware of what else he might have stated behind my again?

Christ, I really feel so silly. That is the second time this week I’ve been duped. The primary one I might have claimed ignorance when the mechanic tricked me out of a lot time and cash wasn’t my fault. I had no method of understanding the person eager to open a security deposit field was really a financial institution robber.

However this time, I jumped into crocodile-infested water knowingly. Hell, I virtually begged the crocodile to leap in with me, so who I’m to complain when his chew stings?

I don’t trouble strolling again to Jax, the evening has already been ruined. As a substitute, I stroll again to room within the cabin the place I’d gone to mattress that first evening and lock myself in. It’s evident that I’ve been nothing however a nuisance to this man, and I refuse to throw myself at him any extra for the remaining time we now have to spend collectively.

My coronary heart aches one thing fierce after I slip into mattress and query whether or not I might have been in a position to save my coronary heart from this ache if solely I hadn’t left my mattress to go to his. I in all probability would have discovered one other solution to get nearer to him, contemplating how a lot chemistry there may be between us. Except that was all a ruse to maintain me occupied whereas we’re caught right here. Has he been faking his attraction to me this entire time?

“Gwen?” A deep voice calls out adopted by a knock, however I don’t get away from bed to open it for him. “Hey, are you okay? Why didn’t you come again?”

“I’m nice,” I croak, hoping Jax will depart me alone to wallow in my self-inflicted distress.

Christ, I’m not having an important week. First, I get held at gunpoint, then despatched into hiding, solely to fall in love for the primary time in my life, and nearly instantly lose my old flame. All in lower than one week.

The knob strikes, however the door doesn’t open. “Hey, you don’t sound nice. Let me in, angel.”

“I’m promise, I’m okay,” I name out once more. “I simply have a slight headache; it’ll go away after I get some sleep.”
