Sometimes she thought she actually hated him. He was always playing with her. Even after all this time, he still aroused so many differing feelings within her, she wanted to scream, and pursuers be damned. That he’d managed to anger and arouse her with so little effort, made Lux wish for a chance to sit on his chest and beat him.
Finally calm, Lux listened intently but heard nothing. She knew he wouldn’t leave her alone for too long, but it worried her that he was alone and probably putting himself in danger. The minutes ticked by and Lux grew increasingly worried for his safety. Thanking Mother Nature for creating such an enormous tree, she sat down as vertigo suddenly washed over her. Lux was worried about Josh and considered going after him. Thinking to give him ten more minutes, she let out a yelp when a large shape landed in front of her.
Chapter 7
“Now, where were we?” Josh asked as though no time had elapsed since his departure.
“What happened?” Lux demanded, annoyed at his cavalier comment.
“As far as I could tell, you were about to come, but I was unavoidably called away,” Josh quipped.
“You know that’s not what I mean!”
“Are you honestly trying to tell me I wasn’t about to make you scream?” He teased.
Aware of what he was doing, she recalled that when he got into this type of mood, her best course of action was to ignore him. Doing exactly that, and with the full realization they were out of danger, she stood and made ready to leave their perch.
“Where are you going?”
“I’m getting out of this damn tree. My backside probably looks like tree bark!” Lux told him as she rubbed her butt cheeks.
“Sorry, but we have to stay here for a little while longer,” Josh informed her, not looking sorry at all.
“Why?”
“Because it’s too dark to get through this terrain without one of us getting hurt.”
“What did you do to those men?”
“I tucked them away for a while.”
“What does that mean?” Lux asked with genuine concern.
“If you want to know if I killed them, then the answer is no,” Josh told her, holding her gaze unblinkingly.
Lux believed him. She also knew that whatever he’d done to them they wouldn’t be a problem for a while.
“Okay, but honestly, I can’t stay up here it’s too uncomfortable, plus I’m getting cold.”
“Don’t worry, I’ve got you,” he smirked.
“Good, so let’s go find somewhere more comfortable.” Lux could tell by his expression that she wasn’t going to like what he had to say.
“You can sit on me,” Josh said as he paused for effect. “I know just how to warm you up.”
Lux wanted to roll her eyes at his less than subtle innuendo. The grin on his too-handsome face gave her an idea. She might live to regret it, but if he wanted to play, she was up for it. At the very least, he would be up by the time she was finished with him.
“Okay,” she agreed, catching him by surprise. “What are you waiting for, get down there,” she pointed to the branch.
Josh wasted no time doing her bidding, his back resting against the trunk of the tree. Lux took her time giving him the once over. Ensuring she paid particular attention to his lower abdomen, as her eyes rolled up and down the front of his shorts. When she was sure she had his full attention, she looked at him and smiled. The growing bulge in the front of his pants was unmistakable; he was rising to the occasion.
Turning around, Lux made a big show of rotating her ass as she folded her body and sat on his rapidly hardening cock.
The sound of his hiss was exactly what she was going for. Wiggling her backside around as though attempting to get comfortable, she moved up and down the length of his shaft. When she finally came to a stop, she couldn’t help but tease him. “I’m still cold, but I have to say this fella,” Lux reached back and stroked his hard cock, “seems to be heating up!”
“Luxandria, do not start something you’re not going to finish.”
“Don’t you worry, if I start something, I finish it. That’s why I have no intention of taking a leaf out of your book!” Lux informed him, rising up and coming down on him making sure she scored a direct hit.
In one continuous motion, Josh lifted her, reversed her position and sat her astride his lap. “Too late, you already started it. But I understand, Peaches,” Josh whispered into her ear. “All you had to do was ask.”
His hot breath against her skin was all it took for her plan to begin to backfire. Deciding to play out her hand to see where it led, Lux relaxed.
“I’m not asking you for a damn thing. I didn’t ask you to come here, to get a tree up me.” Horrified at her Freudian slip, Lux blessed the darkness that hid the fire that rushed into her face.
Josh was laughing so hard she literally bounced up and down.
“Shut up, you know that came out wrong.”
“I thank you kindly ma’am. This is the first time I’ve been likened to a tree, and I find that I like it,” he teased.
