Instead of answering, Torrent wrapped a hand around her neck and kissed her. He kissed her until her toes curled. Until she pressed herself up against him. He kissed her until she moaned into his mouth. All too soon though, he broke the kiss. Her only conciliation was that he seemed just as affected as her. His eyes were glazed over, his breathing ragged. Then he growled and set her back on her feet. She felt a bit wobbly.

Get it together.

Torrent gave her a panty wetting smile. “Whenever you’re ready, sweetheart.” He gave a loud sigh. “I need to take a long shower now. There might be a loud roar towards the end. Ignore it. Know that I will be thinking of you.” He chuckled as he rose to his feet.

Candy swallowed hard. After that statement and the kiss, she needed a shower too… desperately. Only hers would be cold.

Chapter 11

The next day…

Her gaze was fixed firmly on his cock. Her tongue slid over her lips and her throat worked. He stretched up and flexed his muscles. His dick twitched and her breathing hitched.

“It’s all yours, Candy, all you have to do is say the word.” He couldn’t help but goad her. It was so easy to do. He loved watching her cheeks become red.

Another hitch, sharper this time. She quickly averted her stare. Torrent suppressed a smile since he knew it would piss her off. He didn’t want her pissed, he wanted her happy. He just wanted her, full fucking stop.

Candy quickly recovered her composure. It was one of the things he liked about her. She wasn’t always readable and she liked to be in control. He couldn’t wait to see her unravel and let loose. Shit! He was getting hard just thinking about it.

Candy spread out her towel on the white sand. “It’s so beautiful out here.”

“Yeah it is.” His gaze was on her. How the wind caught her hair. How the summer dress clung to her curves. She was tiny but her legs seemed to go on for miles below the mid-thigh hem.

“Thank you for bringing me here, it’s so good to be out.”

Torrent stepped into the pants Candy had handed to him a minute ago. It was stupid. She’d already seen him naked, since he had to shift to get them here, but hey, he knew it would make her feel more comfortable, so he put them on. “I’ll try and sneak you out as often as I can. My brother helped me divert attention.”

“Lake?”

Torrent shook his head. “No, Tide.”

“Oh.” She raised her brows. “You have more than one brother?”

“I have three. What about you?”

“I’m an only child.” She shook her head. Candy reached down and pulled her dress over her head.
