Chapter 9
Good grief! She was so comfortable with him, and he'd made her so
annoyed, she'd almost forgotten that she wore only a camisole that
didn't cover any part of her lower body. She turned for the quilt —
and he charged her.
Kairi only had time to yelp. She abandoned the idea of the quilt and
ran. Sora laughed behind her.
"A beautiful sight, Kairi!"
She knew her bottom was bouncing and she ran that much faster. But
there was no place to go. Sora was taller, stronger, his long legs
covering twice as much distance in less time. Then his hand snagged
in her shirt and she was jerked off her feet.
She screamed more from excitement than anything else. She didn't
fall. Nope, she found herself tossed over Sora's rock-solid shoulder
with a bird's-eye view of that muscular butt she'd admired only
minutes earlier. "Put me down!"
"Okay."
He headed for the lake and she couldn't stop laughing. "Don't you
dare, Sora!"
He fondled her bottom with a large hand, then kissed her hip.
"Skinny dipping, Kairi. It was your idea, not mine."
"But I —" That was as far as she got before she found herself flying
through the air. Seconds later, the icy cold water closed around her
and she screamed again from the shock of it, swallowing a mouthful
of water.
The ducks protested loudly, taking flight to the shore and making a
racket as she burst to the surface. Kairi shoved wet hair out of her
face, cursed as she whipped around, and found herself not more than
a foot away from Sora. He laughed at her.
The stone bottom of the pond was covered in moss and she barely held
her footing as she took a swing at Sora. He ducked and she ended up
turning full circle, only to find herself hauled up against his
wonderfully hard, warm chest. He kissed her, and she could have
sworn steam rose around them.
"Don't get riled, Kairi," he whispered against her lips. "If
you'd rather not swim right now, I can think of other things to do."
Since his erection nudged against her belly, not the least
intimidated by the icy water, she could well imagine what ideas he
had. In fact, she had them too. "Tell me."
He caught her naked bottom and lifted her into him. "We could go to
the house. Take a nice warm shower..."
"A shower?" That wasn't at all what she'd had in mind.
"Mmm. And I'd make sure I got every little inch of you real clean."
A shower! It was starting to sound like a heck of an idea. "And
then?"
"And then I'd dry you off nice and easy..."
"I don't like the sound of nice and easy. I think I'd rather hurry
things along a bit." The man had far more patience in sexual matters
than she did.
"Ah, but I'll make certain you enjoy every second of it, and I
promise to reward you for your patience."
"How?"
"By kissing you from your head all the way down to your toes, and
some very tasty spots in between."
Kairi blinked at him, her heart lodged in her throat. Her legs felt
rubbery and her pulse raced so hard it was a wonder she didn't cause
waves in the water. She stepped around him.
"Where are you going?" Sora asked.
Kairi kept walking. Her heart thumped so hard, she was amazed Sora
couldn't hear it. "To the house, of course. You've made some pretty
big promises there — now let's see if you can keep them..."
