Opening my eyes, I look beside me at a man whose personality fills an entire room, but his ego doesn’t. His kindness is seen by all around him, even when he doesn’t speak a word to them. He’s perfect, and something about that scares the shit out of me more than the men who pretend to be. He returns his gaze to mine and I smile, releasing a breath I didn’t even realize I was holding. And there it is, my breath of fresh air.
I immediately stand, not taking a moment to think and slip off my shorts and top, tossing them where I previously sat.
“Up for a swim, Cowboy?”
He wears a broad grin as he stands to remove his jeans and shirt, only to place his cowboy hat back over his dirty blond hair.
Of course, he would.
We wade out into the water until our bodies are both submerged.
“Only a matter of time before I got you out of your pants,” I laugh.
“Well I couldn’t come out here in clothes, sweetheart.”
“Sweetheart? What happened to Angel?” My tone is playful as I lean back into the water, floating on my back a moment before returning to my feet.
“Thought ya didn’t like that?” He raises his brow in question.
“It was starting to grow on me.” I glide my hands over my now wet hair, trying to smooth it out, and bite my lip.
His eyes follow the motion then meet my gaze. “That’s not the only thing growin’,” he laughs as he reaches me, gliding his hands down my body before bringing one up to my cheek. A smile brightens up his features and I can’t help but kiss him.The taste of beer lingers on his breath, and for whatever reason, that makes me want him more.
He brings me into his embrace, cupping my ass with his hands. I can feel his length as I lean into him, making sure my hand grazes his cock. He lets out a faint huff of pleasure before I playfully push him away.
“Now, that ain’t fair,” he replies with a grin.
Water pools through my fingers as I glide them at the surface, splashing Rhett as he begins to circle me.
“The chase never is,” I jest.
He chuckles, “Now, that we disagree on.”
Swimming closer, he draws me into his warm embrace and lifts me up. Laughter spills from my chest as I put both of my arms out, spreading them into the air and leaning my body back to take in the entire night sky. The black canopy above twinkles, and I swear, I see a shooting star, so I close my eyes and make a wish.
Please, prove me wrong. Let Rhett not be like every other cowboy.
My eyes spring open, revealing a dark sky littered with twinkling lights, and when I look down, I’m greeted by the person who makes me feel like I have the ability to explore it.

RHETT - JULY 3, 2004
SeeingKaylee with the stars as her backdrop seems so fitting, each sparkling like all the gems she adds to everything she owns. And as much as I try to drop the little pet name that fell on her by chance, I can’t, because nothing in this whole world would convince me she’s not ethereal, especially seeing her with the moon as her backdrop.
Like a newly discovered land, I find myself lost within her eyes. A man without a compass, mesmerized by the golden flecks dancing among pools of green. Her stare is like being in a field of wildflowers, breathtaking. Mother nature’s way of saying simple things, too, can be worth their weight in gold.
She leans in to kiss me, and I slowly lower her back down toward the water, never letting our lips separate, afraid that this too could all be a dream. I hold her at waist level and she wraps her legs around my hips before her lips trail down my neck. Groaning in anticipation, my cock hardens with my desire.
Her lips reach my ear. “Show me what it’s like to scream your name, Casanova.”
It’s crazy to think that we are in a public place, but luckyfor me, right here, right now we’re all alone. And if someone stumbles out from the tent and gets a free show... Well, fuck it. Let them watch.
Her arm traces down my body and she leans back, grabbing my cock in her hand and stroking me, each pump making me want her more.
Her hand floats up to my cheek, her kisses intensifying with every second that passes. I adjust my hold on her hourglass frame, placing my hands closer to her pussy. The water gives a new edge to her wetness as I slide my fingers under her panties, melting at the desire I have for her. Slipping my finger inside, her hips sway forward and back, like she’s been wanting this just as badly as I have. I want to be inside her myself, but I also want to savor every moment of finally getting to make her mine.
Pushing my fingers deeper, she lets out a moan, and my ability to hold back wavers faster than intended. She reaches for my cock, rock hard and ready, sliding it out from the waistband of my underwear. Stroking me once more before aiming me toward her entrance.
