He extended his hand, not taking his gaze from me or acknowledging anyone around him.

My heartbeat accelerated and a slow pulse began to throb in my core.

Licking my now-parched lips, I slid my palm over his and rose. His thumb grazed my skin, sending a shot of desire into every cell of my body.

“Where are you two off to?” Jacinta said from behind me.

Tyler answered, “To bump uglies, from the way he’s eating her up.”

The distinct sound of a smack echoed.

“Ow, Mom. That hurt.”

“Tyler David Camden, leave them alone.”

“Just you wait,” Jacinta voiced. “One day we’re going to have a field day at your expense.”

“You’re one to talk,” Tyler said. “Besides, I would need a woman in my life for any of your evil plans to come to fruition.”

Devin tucked a stray hair behind my ear and then said, “Let’s go for a walk.”

“Is that code for sex? Ow, Mom. Stop hitting me.”

“Tyler, this is your last warning.”

I couldn’t help but laugh, which made a smile appear on Devin’s face.

“It’s a wonder you didn’t drown him when you were younger.” I gazed up at Devin.

He ran his thumb over my bottom lip. “I tried, but Mom wouldn’t let me.”

“I heard that,” Tyler grumbled. “I swear. I get no respect in this family.”

“Come on, let Mom deal with the Wonder Twins.” Devin pulled me toward the river and then along a path leading away from the mansion.

So he wasn’t using the long looks and notion of a walk as a guise to make our way back to our room.

I sighed and tried to mask my disappointment by focusing on the river.

God, I was pathetic. In less than forty-eight hours, he had me turned into a nymphomaniac who constantly craved his cock.

Who was I kidding? There wasn’t a time I didn’t want him to fuck me.

Devin smirked and shook his head.

“What?”

“You.”

I jumped over a set of fallen branches, and then growled as my pumps dug into the ground.

“For someone who loves the outdoors and hiking, you don’t seem to be enjoying it.”

“I’m wearing three-inch heels, not sneakers. You should be happy I can walk in them at all over this uneven path.”

“I have a solution.”

I paused midstep. “I’m all ears.”
