Chapter 21: S1 Ethan: Spunk and Tenacity

Sadie Reed

A steady breath blows warmth across her neck.

Her eyes snap open, and she locks gazes with Ethan.

"I, uhm . . ." She covers a yawn with the back of her hand. "Must've dozed off."

"A little." Ethan repositions his body and rolls to his side.

He pulls her underneath him. With his knee, he eases her legs apart, then covers her body with his.

Elbows bent, he holds himself above her and claims her lips.

She can taste her lingering arousal on his lips and tongue, and a fire rekindles between her legs.

The kiss deepens, and Ethan slips a hand under the waistband of the boxers. He slowly circles the hood of her clit, and she presses her body against him.

"Holy fuck." The words slip past her lips. "That's nice."

His body tenses, and a low, throaty growl rumbles in his chest. He springs to his feet, leaving Sadie alone on the blanket.

"What is it?" She sits, hugging her knees to her chest.

Fear rekindles in her belly, twisting her insides into tight knots.
