‘What’s that soppy grin about?’ Folding her arms tightly across her chest, she hovers above me.
‘Care to help me up?’
Sighing heavily, she steps towards me and offers her hand reluctantly. With one swift tug, I pull her forward, rolling us in the process, until she’s firmly pinned between the cold, hard ground and my body. It’s official, I can’t even take a woman for a walk without pushing the boundaries. Her chest rises and falls rapidly beneath mine and her crystal blue eyes dart back and forth in a desperate attempt to read the situation. The pounding in my chest takes over and my mind goes blank as I get lost in her stare. I’m the hardest I’ve been in a long time and there’s no way she could miss it. Her face gradually falls. I’ve left it too long, I think I’ve screwed this up.
Beth
Holy shit.
My pulse was already raised from my near-death experience, but now it’s off the charts.
His large body covers mine and this is so close to my sexual fantasy, that I can hardly believe it’s even happening. Except the longer we stare at each other and neither of us makes a move, the more awkward this becomes. Maybe this is what he wants – he has you right where he wants you, flustered and embarrassed, pinned beneath his firm body and rock-hard cock.Was it this big the last time?
I blink rapidly as my brain misfires for what feels like the hundredth time. No, this isn’t happening.
‘What are you doing?’ I push firmly against his chest, and he retreats from me as quickly as he pulled me to the ground.
‘Sorry, I errr, was just…’
Scrambling backwards, I pull myself to my feet, plucking strand after strand of grass from my hair. ‘Well, whatever it was. Don’t.’
We stare at each other intently and despite the loss of physical connection, whatever it is between us is still there, lingering in the air.
‘Get the hell out of my field!’
Oh hell.I turn to see a farmer charging towards us with as much force as his cattle. The distinct click of his shotgun tells us he means business. James quickly pulls himself to his feet and scoops Dick up hastily.
‘I’m erm really sorry,’ he splutters.
‘Yes, me too, so sorry,’ I croak in agreement.
‘You folk think you can do what the hell you like, frolicking on farming land.’
James reaches out for my hand and I quickly brush it away. Is he being serious right now?
‘It won’t happen again,’ I promise the farmer. Turning to glare at James, I make sure he’s clear as well. ‘Ever again.’
My feet travel at speed as I head across the field back to the lane. I can’t believe I rolled over so easily. Literally. What on earth was I thinking?
‘Beth…Beth…wait.’
Every so often I have to tug at the lead as Poppy stops, waiting for Dick – we’re quite literally pulling in different directions right now.
‘Beth…’
‘What?’ I shriek so loudly a flock of birds immediately leave the field.
‘I’m sorry about back there, I don’t know what came over me—’
‘Oh, I do, that thing…again!’ I flick my hand in the direction of his groin and a wicked smile covers his face.
Typical.
‘Don’t try and pretend you haven’t thought about it, Beth.’
Oh my God.He knows. How does he know? Does my body give me away when my face tries to hide it. My heart pounds rapidly in my chest as I fight to think of an appropriate response.
‘I know I have.’ His lips part and the most delicious heart-stopping smile spreads across his face, and I know I’m officially done for.
