“You’re insane if you think I’m going to wear something Lexie has worn. I love her and she’s one of my closest friends, but even I draw the line of wearing something so personal.” She folded her arms, feeling like she’d won.
Ripper wasn’t going to get her into a bikini or any costume.
He smiled and produced a tag. “Good, I’m sure she won’t mind you wearing one of her new ones. She’s got a lot waiting to be used.”
“You bastard,” she said.
“Language, baby. I’ll take you over my knee and spank that ass if you start bad-mouthing me.” He picked up the bra bikini and approached her. She folded her arms over her br**sts, glaring at him.
“I’m not getting in that thing.”
“Yes, you are.”
“Why should I?” she asked.
His hands stroked up either side of her arms. “Because you want to please me. Seeing you in this and taking a dip in the pool will please me.”
“I don’t want to please you.” She gasped as his hand went between her thighs, stroking up the inside of her thigh. His fingers worked under the bottom of her shorts going to the evidence of what his closeness was doing to her. She gasped as his fingers went to her pu**y, sliding between her folds and touching her clit.
“Baby, the only person you’re denying is yourself. You want to please me, and taking a swim before I take you back to your room and eat your pu**y is what will make me happy.” He kissed her neck, sucking on her pulse.
“This is not fair.”
He grabbed her hand and pressed her palm to his dick. “What’s not fair is you teasing me with your sweet cunt. I want to see you in this costume and having fun.” He dropped a kiss to her lips. “Is that too much to ask?”
Looking up at him, she dropped her arms from her br**sts. “No, it’s not too much to ask.” She spoke the words through gritted teeth. “I don’t like you right now.”
“I don’t need you to like me. I can feel your pu**y likes me so much more.”
He grabbed the bottom of her shirt and pulled it over her head. She stood still as he worked the cups over her br**sts then tied the string around her neck to her back.
Glaring at him, she held onto the counter as he tugged down her shorts. He didn’t grab the panties immediately to put on her. Glancing down at him, she saw he was staring at her pu**y.
“What’s the matter?” she asked.
Ripper didn’t answer. He lifted one of her legs onto her shoulder as he closed the distance sliding his tongue deep into her cunt. She cried out at the sudden change. His tongue plunged into her core before sliding up to stroke her clit. Several times he did this before he released her leg.
In no time at all, she had on the bikini, and he arranged it to his liking.
“There, you’re ready for a swim.”
She didn’t avert her gaze as he pushed the jeans off his body. He wore a pair of black boxer briefs, which clearly outlined his large cock.
“Are you sure you want to be swimming with that?” she asked, pointing at his large erection. “You’ll drown.”
Ripper started to laugh. “I’m not drowning. I’ll take care of my dick all in good time.” She liked it when he took her hand and led her out toward the swimming pool. Tucking some hair behind her ear, she still felt a little self-conscious of her weight. His reaction to her body filled her with a little more confidence than she thought she possessed.
Suddenly, he stopped, turned and picked her up.
“What the hell are you doing?” she asked, screaming as he ran the last few steps and chucked her into the pool.
Screaming, Judi broke the surface, gasping for breath and laughing. Looking around the pool she tried to find him. When she got her hands on him, she was going to hurt him, maybe twist his balls right clear off.
Wiping the water from her eyes, she couldn’t find him. Her feet were yanked from under her, catching her unaware. Arms flailing out each side she screamed as arms circled her waist, pulling her close.
Ripper was laughing down at her.
“You bastard,” she said, slapping his chest. Judi wasn’t afraid. She just didn’t find what he’d done all that funny. “I could have drowned.”
“Do you really think I’d let anything happen to you?” he asked.
She held onto his shoulders, glaring at him. “It wasn’t fair.”
“No? Then why are you smiling?”
Judi frowned, realizing she had in fact been laughing in between screaming. She wasn’t panicked or scared and in fact, felt … exhilarated.
“You can thank me any time now.”
“I don’t like how you start having fun,” she said, moving away from him. The cool water felt good on her skin after the heat of the sun. Not only was the heat of the sun bothering her but also Ripper. His presence alone set a fire deep inside her that she didn’t think she’d ever be able to put out. His words, everything about him, set her aflame.
He stepped toward her, and she stepped back. They did this until her back met the edge of the pool. “Baby, I’m always about having fun.” Ripper cupped her cheeks, tilting her head back before claiming her lips.
As she melted against him, all was forgiven for throwing her into the pool.
If she didn’t know any better, she’d start to think she was falling in love with the hard man.
“That’s better. I like you all quiet and compliant. It makes me think I’m getting my own way.” He squeezed one of her br**sts before swimming away.
Feeling raw and exposed by the thoughts running through her head, she started swimming without looking at him. Judi needed to get her body and mind under control.
Falling in love with Ripper would be a big mistake. One, they hadn’t agreed to anything at all. She knew without a doubt that he’d never settle down for one woman. He loved women and sex, and she knew enough that she wouldn’t be able to satisfy all of his needs.
At one end of the pool she turned and started her laps toward the other end of the pool. Her time with Rob had taught her no man stayed faithful forever. She watched Devil with Lexie and she hoped he was an exception, but part of her really believed he would stray from his wife soon enough.
“What’s going on in that mind of yours?” Ripper asked, snatching her around the waist and turning her to face him.
He was handsome in a weird kind of way. She liked his red hair, his muscles, and the hard eyes that stared back at her.
