“Okay.”
I stand up, grabbing the Ace bandage from our kit. “I’m gonna need you to take your shirt off.”
She stands there for a few minutes without saying anything. At first I think she’s not going to take it off. I wouldn’ t blame her or be mad. But she fists the edge of the tank, and lifts it over her head. Shit. She’s wearing a lacey yellow bra, her tits hanging over the delicate cups. If I could just pull down that fabric, I could see her soft, pink nipples. Shit, I’m getting myself hard.
Swallowing, I reach around her. It looks like I’m takin g her in my arms, holding her tight. God, if I don’t want to do that. Stretching the bandage, I wrap it several times, my fingers brushing against her flat stomach. She inhales sharply, I can’t even tell if she’s breathing at all. “You’re so soft,” I whisper against her ear.
A light moan escapes her lips. Jesus, give me the self-control of a nun . I’m going to take care of this girl all summer long—in every possible way.
“Are you flirting with me, Tanner?” He voice is soft, but I can tell she likes it.
Brushing my fingers along her stomach, I wrap the bandage around her again. “Darlin’, I haven’t stopped since we got here.”
She doesn’t respond. But, she’s shivering. And it’s not cold in here.
After I finish, she reaches quickly for her shirt, pulling it over her torso. I watch as the lacey bra is covered by the cotton. It almost hurts to watch her cover up.
“Your turn?” she asks, pointing toward my bed. “Lay down. I’ll take a look.”
Grabbing the bottom of my polo, I pull it over my head and toss it to the floor. Aubrey’s eyes travel from my neck to the edge of my jeans. I hope she doesn’t look any lower. Her biting that lip is having its effect on me. Lifting a brow, I lay down on my stomach. “Holy hell, Tanner. Your back is pretty bruised.”
I’m not surprised. It hurt s like a fucking bitch. “Okay.” I get back to my feet. “Put the other icepack on the worse spots and wrap the other bandage around it to keep it there.”
She nods , placing the icepack on my back. I hiss through my teeth.
“Want me to stop?”
“No, ma’am. Keep goin’.”
I hold the pack in place as she wraps the bandage around my torso. The weight of her breath against my cheek is making my dick protest against my jeans. A few seconds later she finally finishes. Her eyes widen. “Feel okay?”
I twist back to forth to make sure it’s in place. “Think so. Thank you.”
Aubrey nods, kicking her foot against the edge of my bed post. “So, I guess I’ll see you tomorrow? I’m horseback riding with Heath.”
A sting of jealously hits my chest. No, don’t even fuckin’ go there, Tanner . “I’ll definitely see you tomorrow.” I walk her over to my cabin door and lean against the frame. She waits on the steps for a few seconds like she did last night. I see the devastation in her eyes. She wants me to kiss her. I want to kiss her. But not now. Not here. It has to be the right time. I’m going to make her wait—until she can’t take it anymore—and fuck her mouth with my own. Show her how a real man kisses, makes love and touches. She’ll never want to let go.
Defeated, she gives me a small smile and walks into the night. I watch her hips sway the entire time. Slamming the back of my head against the door, I groan. This is going to be one tempting summer.
Chapter Seven
Aubrey
“So, you want him to kiss you? That’s what you’re saying?”
Flopping back against my pillow, I scream to the ceiling. “I don’t know! I just…I figured he was a little attracted to me. He’s had three chances and nada. Nothing. I’m getting no clues from him.”
