“I love you more, Ellie.”
I sat back and felt the sun warming my face. It was slightly chilly out today, especially with us being on the water.
“Are you enjoying yourself, sweetheart?” Gunner asked.
I lifted my head and looked at him. I couldn’t help but smile. He was so breathtakingly handsome. His brown hair was slightly wavy, and his smile—oh Lord, how that smile makes me do things I never thought I’d do.
“I am—more than you could ever imagine. It’s amazing to just sit here and relax. There are no fighting kids, no weeds to pull in the garden, no soccer practice, no PTA meetings…”
I let out a sigh, and Gunner chuckled.
“You love all that other stuff though. Don’t you?”
I nodded my head. “Yeah, I do. But I think everyone needs a little bit of me time…or we time. I needed we time.”
“I agree. I needed some we time, too.” He took off his sunglasses and looked at me.
By the look in his eyes, I could tell he was up to something. He began rowing over to the side of the river.
I looked around and said, “What are you doing?”
The left corner of his mouth rose slightly, and he laughed. “Baby, you challenged me. It’s time to show you I was serious.”
I sat up straight. “Huh? We already had sex in the truck.”
He threw his head back and laughed. “Nah, that wasn’t public enough.”
My heart began to pound as I tried to figure out what Gunner was up to. He pulled up to the bank of the river and carefully got out of the canoe.
He reached his hand out for me. “Be careful, baby. Come on.”
I stood up and took his hand as he helped me out. He lifted the canoe out of the water and pulled it up onto the dirt path. A few feet above us was the hike-and-bike trail. I could hear people running by. I took a step over, looked up, and saw an older lady riding her bike.
I snapped my head back and looked at him. “No way, Gunner.”
He slowly nodded his head. “Oh, yes, ma’am. You can’t challenge me and then back out of it. I intend on making you orgasm right up against that tree.”
He pointed, and I turned around to see a giant cypress tree. I swallowed hard and felt my stomach clench. The idea of it thrilled me. I decided two could play at this game. I spun back around and looked out at the lake. Hardly anyone was on the lake since it was a weekday and chilly. I kicked off my sneakers and began unbuttoning my pants. Gunner licked his lips as I slid my pants down. Goose bumps covered my body, but it wasn’t because it was cold out. It was from the way Gunner was looking at me with hungry eyes.
I took my jeans and put them over a nearby branch as I watched Gunner unbutton his jeans.
“Holy hell, baby. You’re driving me crazy.”
He reached in and adjusted himself as I smiled.
I used my finger and motioned for him to come toward me. “I’m not walking over there without shoes on.”
Gunner smiled bigger and picked me up so quickly that I let out a small cry. I looked up and could barely see someone running by through the trees. Gunner walked us over to the cypress tree. I’d expected him to just pleasure me with his fingers, but when he leaned me against the tree, he pushed my panties out of the way and began teasing me with his tip. I was so overcome with what we were doing that I almost came on the spot.
“Oh God, Gunner. I’m going to come fast. It’s already building up,” I whispered.
He smiled. “Hold on, baby, you’re about to take the ride of your life.”
Before I could even say anything, he pushed inside me and began moving. Somehow, Gunner always knew the spot to hit to make me come fast and hard. He leaned down and began kissing my neck. The sounds of dogs barking and people talking, running, or riding their bikes were beginning to blend with my low moans of pleasure. I quickly looked out toward the water, and we were barely covered by all the tree branches. If someone looked hard enough, they would see what we were doing.
A warm feeling ran through my body, and I felt my orgasm building. Then, I heard a woman talking.
“So, Laura said the report is due back by five. That’s why she couldn’t join us.”
