“Em, don’t move. Stay perfectly still. Can you stay perfectly still?” Garrett whispered.
I swallowed hard and nodded my head.
He very carefully removed his hand from my mouth. “Don’t make a sound.”
I opened my mouth, and he looked at me.
“If it’s my father…run!” I whispered.
Garrett looked at me, confused at first, and then he must have understood what I’d meant.
He rolled his eyes and smiled. “No, it’s not that, but I do need you to be calm. Okay?”
“Calm. I can do calm,” I said with a wink.
When I felt him against me, I immediately began grinding myself against him.
He peeked down and raised one eyebrow. “Em, this is serious.”
I pouted. “What could be more important than you taking me against the tree?”
Garrett’s eyes darted over my head and then back at me. “The rattlesnake near us is kind of taking top priority right now.”
I smiled, but then it hit me. Did he say…rattlesnake?
“What did you say?” I said a little louder.
He held his finger up to his mouth. “Baby, I need you to very slowly start getting up after I get off of you, okay? Don’t make any sudden movements or loud sounds, or the snake will—”
Oh. My. God. He did say rattlesnake!
I pushed him as hard as I could, somehow managing to throw him onto his back, while I let out the loudest scream humanly possible. I was pretty sure my arms where flailing about as I jumped over Garrett before making my way to the car. I jumped into the backseat, and for some reason, I was still screaming. I watched as the snake took off in the other direction. Garrett got up and quickly wrapped the quilt around him. He turned and just looked at me. I let out another scream and then another, but each one got quieter and quieter.
He shook his head as he walked over to the car and opened the door. “Damn, woman, you left me out to burn.”
I threw my hands up to my mouth and started to laugh. “Garrett, I’m so…I’m so sorry, but I just panicked.”
“You don’t say?”
I bit down on my lower lip and felt the blush hit my cheeks when I realized I was still naked.
“I could have been bitten by a snake, and you just took off. Matter of fact, you pushed me out of your way and jumped over me in your escape.”
I slowly dropped my hands and looked behind him to make sure the beast was gone. Then, I remembered my dream last night where Garrett had taken me against the tree.
“Garrett?”
When he gave me that smile of his, I knew I could go forward with this. I pushed him back and got out of the car. Now that it was daylight, I could really see him taking in every inch of my body, and the lust in his eyes turned me on even more.
I lifted my foot and began running it up and down my other leg. “I do believe you promised to…take me up against that tree.”
Garrett dropped the quilt and grinned as I looked at him.
He pulled me to him and put his lips on my neck. “I do believe your exact words were that you wanted me to fuck you against that tree.”
I let out a moan, and the naughty girl inside me was more than ready to come out and play. The only thing I could say was, “Yes…please.”
Garrett picked me up, and I wrapped my legs around him. He reached down and picked up the quilt. He walked over to the tree and placed the quilt behind me before pushing me against the tree.
