warrior. Jamie may not have graduated yet, but Conrad knew she was already a warrior through and through. On top of all that, she had grown into a stunningly beautiful woman.
Thinking about her now, Conrad didn’t feel anything remotely brotherly toward Jamie.
Conrad was brought out of his musings when he heard Jamie shouting out for him.
“Where are you? I’m not falling for it. You’re trying to trick me, but you’re gonna have to breathe sometime.”
While she was distracted in her search, he used all the stealth he had been trained to possess and maneuvered his way behind her.
Conrad thrust himself up through the murky depths of the reservoir and wrapped his arms around her chest, pinning Jamie’s arms to her side. He knew he had surprised her, but like the true warrior she was, all she did was release a relieved sigh and relax into his embrace.
Conrad knew he shouldn’t allow this to happen. Jamie would get the wrong idea about them, but he couldn’t bring himself to do it.
He told himself it was because she was his friend, she was upset, and she needed comfort. Conrad refused to admit that he had missed her and he need the connection they shared as much as she did.
Jamie turned in Conrad’s arms and wrapped hers around his neck. They gazed at each other as he waded through the water, backing Jamie up against a post of the jetty.
She buried her face in the crook of Conrad’s neck, and they just rested there for a minute, neither of them seeming to know what to do next.
Jamie then turned her head toward his neck and pressed a light touch of her lips to the nape of his neck.
Conrad closed his eyes and inhaled the scent of her. He knew he should stop her, but he couldn’t bring himself to do it.
When he didn’t protest, Jamie continued her sensual assault. The kisses to his neck became more frequent and firm. She gradually moved her way up his neck, along his jawline, to the side of his face.
Conrad could feel her pull back to look at him, so he slowly opened his eyes to meet her look of nervousness and the question in her eyes. He still couldn’t bring himself to say anything. At that moment he was mute.
Keeping their eyes locked, she pulled herself once again toward him. Ever so softly she kissed her lips to his, and it was the sweetest kiss he had ever received.
His resolve to resist the gorgeous young woman in his arms was crumbling, and Jamie could obviously see that as she pressed their mouths together more firmly, licking the seam of his lips.
Jamie was no longer asking for his permission but demanding he give as much as she gave.
Her determination broke through his last mental barrier. He was no longer holding his best friend that he grew up with in his arms, but a sexy, young Amazon warrior woman who wanted him fiercely.
Conrad would have been stupid to resist what she was offering.
He spread his lips and thrust his tongue into Jamie’s eager mouth, both of them trying to take control of the kiss. No matter what Jamie did, she was a fighter, always determined to win. Conrad loved that about her, but he wasn’t going to let her win this battle.
Conrad released her mouth and pulled back. They were both gasping for breath, but she was trying to pull him back in with her hands around his neck.
“Stop!”
Jamie eased up immediately, but her face dropped and she looked defeated. She must have thought he meant stop kissing him, but the train was already in motion. There was no stopping it now.
“Not in here.” Conrad stressed as he grinded himself against Jamie, hoping it would reassure her that he wouldn’t and couldn’t back out of what was happening between them now.
“Besides, we’ve been in here so long we’re pruny, and the cold water is chasing my dick and balls back into my body.”
Jamie smiled a cheeky smile as she removed an arm from around his neck and down his body until she reached his cock. She grabbed it as if she owned it, making him moan.
“Still feels
