Squirm Under My Watch - Timea Tokes - Bog

Ruby wanted to go deer hunting. Or at least that's what she told her fiancé. The truth couldn't be further from that lie though. Especially since she left the bullets home. What she truly wanted was live out one of her fantasies by a waterfall. Naked. Alone. There was only one 'problem': she had company... o A gentle breeze made me shiver deliciously, and I decided it was time I enjoyed myself. I mean really enjoyed myself. The way you can only enjoy yourself when you are on your own, lost in the middle of nowhere. Yep, that's how I could always find myself. The real me. The sexual being that I kept hidden, because Carl never wanted to meet her. Oh, well. I took the pink rubber band off my locks, letting my strawberry blonde curls caress my lower back. If I was proud of anything, it was my hair. Okay, that, and my silver eyes. The only compliment I ever got from Carl concerned those two. I sighed, letting my eyes wander towards the crystal depths. The sound of water crashing against rocks, combined with the gentle humming of robins and a cuckoo, made me want to jump right in. What was holding me back?Nothing, I decided, testing the waters with my left toe. It was cold, so sinfully cold, that I could feel my nipples harden just at the thought of it enveloping me in its silky embrace. God, how much I loved to swim. And there was that other thing I loved. I snickered, getting ready to plunge in, when a twig snapped somewhere behind me, and I nearly fell. I had a nanosecond to decide whether I should duck and disappear into the water, or face whoever was behind me. Could it have been Carl? I wondered, but I seriously doubted it. This was someone else, and as my luck went, it was a guy, most probably. As if I didn't have enough problems already, now I was facing a huge dilemma. I was sure that whether I was seen naked or not didn't matter, nor did the fact that I didn't want to be seen. I was here, despite Carl's warning, and that was enough for him. How long would it be, before he talks to me again? Three weeks? Two months? God, I nearly hoped it was him behind me. Mind that, even then I would have had to have that 'talk' with my man. Maybe there was still a way out. Carl didn't have to know. If I acted as if I wasn't stark naked, the other person wouldn't notice it, either. Stupid, I know, but really, I was out of options here. Sucking in a deep breath I twirled around. I was so not expecting what (or rather who) was in front of me.This male specimen was simply perfect. His alluring bad boy charm was oozing through the ether. What oozing? He could have worn a neon sign saying: 'I'm the most handsome eligible bachelor in town, and you are in trouble'. Even if he wasn't available as such, I would have wanted to make myself available for him. I wanted to scold myself, to remember that I had a loving fiancé at home, waiting for me. Okay, he wasn't always that loving, and he probably still hadn't noticed that I was missing, but still. He was mine, and I was his. But this guy? He was something else. What was it about him that took my breath away, without him having to say a word? Was it his long black hair that framed a perfectly shaped face? Or was it his chiselled jawline, or his arched black brows? Maybe his sapphire gaze that held me captive. I was sure that if I wasn't naked already, I would have dropped everything (including my jaw) at his sight. Okay, I might have drooled a little. Fine, a lot. I mean, seriously, what a man! Compared to Carl's sandy hair and dull brown eyes, this guy was a Hercules. He reminded me of dark castles, vampires and the sort. God, I never even knew I was attracted to this kind of thing! Well, clearly, I didn't know myself as much as I thought I did.
