Big Man’s Claim by Wylder, Penny (new ebook reader TXT) 📕

I can't ignore the heat that's burning between my legs. Rolling over to face him, I look into his eyes.

He's mesmerizing. The dark hair, the dark eyes, the scruff I can see across his jaw, and the huge erection pressing against my thigh.

He has this look on his face, like he's embarrassed and ashamed all at once. “I'm sorry,” he says, trying to scoot away. “It's not every day I'm this close to a beautiful woman.”

“No, it's fine.” My voice is sultry and low. I don't know if it's the bump on my head or the fact that he's gone out of his way to help me that's making turning me on so much right now.

Without a moment to think, I kiss him. My lips press against his, and for a split second he kisses me back. His lips are softer than I thought, dewy and velvety smooth.

Parting my lips, I'm giving him permission to slip his tongue inside my mouth. But he doesn't. Instead he breaks away, pulling his mouth off of mine.

“Melody, this isn't why I did this. I didn't do this to take advantage of you.” His eyes are troubled and unsure.

“I know.” My eyes dance between his. “I didn't come out here looking for this either. I needed to get away. I've been feeling stuck, like everything else is moving forward around me, but I'm just stagnant.” Sighing, I hold his gaze with mine. “I came here to escape, and maybe this is exactly what I need right now. A chance encounter. A moment between two strangers that exists outside of my everyday world. I'm not going to fight what I want right now, especially when it's so close to me right now.”

Bran's eyes move around my face, lingering on my lips. Licking his lips, he growls softly as he drives his hand into my hair and pulls me in for a kiss.

His kiss is hard, hungry, and so very fucking sweet.

It's everything I need it to be.

He's everything I need him to be right now. Bran can be my escape.

My fingers move slowly down the curve of her jaw, gently touching, enjoying her softness. Her lips sweep over mine, wet and slick as she opens her mouth to let me in. Our tongues slip around each other.

This isn't how I anticipated my day ending. I thought I'd hike for a bit, enjoy the silence of the woods like I always have, and then fall asleep alone.

With my eyes wide open, I admire the beautiful creature in my arms, unable to control myself the second she offered herself to me. I'm more than happy to give her whatever she feels she needs.

It's been hard not to touch her, to just admire her from a distance. The way the fire kissed her skin as she sat petting her dog, the way she laughed and giggled as we told stories about our lives, it all made my attraction to her stronger.

I found it hard to look away as my eyes were drawn to her pink flushed skin from the heat of the flames, and the way her eyes sparkled like the stars.

Now I'm here, staring into her eyes as our kiss turns from tender to savage. My tongue licks across the roof of her mouth, tasting as much of her as I can. I want to drink her in. I want to savor every second of this.

Gliding my hand down her throat, I move it over her shoulder, and run my fingers down the side of her arm. She shivers, I can feel it pass from her body to mine through the pads of my fingers.

I like that tremble, it's sexy, letting me know she enjoys the way I'm touching her. Slipping my hand around her waist, I tickle up her spine and over the nape of her neck until my fingers are tangled in her hair.

Gripping her red curls in my hand, I pull her face in closer so I can kiss her deeper, harder, with a passion I can't contain.

She moans into the kiss, rocking her body against mine. Her tits rub against my chest and her hips stroke my bulge, making me even harder than I already am. I want to be inside her so fucking bad, but I'm not going to rush this.

This feels too good, I don't want it to ever end.

Melody bites my bottom lip, plucking it gently with her teeth. Her hand runs down my chest hitting the waist of my jeans. I suck in a quick breath as she unbuttons my pants and slips her soft hand inside.

My prick is solid, throbbing painfully as she wraps her slender fingers around my shaft. It feels so good I groan as I exhale, and tug on her hair harder. Her hand tightens, stroking up and down with devastating slowness.

She breaks our kiss and whispers. “I need this, Bran. And with how hard you are, you need it too.”

Growling, I drive my lips onto hers, stealing her voice. I know what she needs, and it isn't a quick roll in the sack. Melody needs me to taste every inch of her body. I want to savor her, bask in her, and make sure this night is one she remembers.

Her tongue twists around mine as she moves her hand faster. My fingers find the clasp of her bra and break it free. Her tits fall out, plump as perfect raindrops. Grabbing her tit, I squeeze it hard.

Her nipple pebbles and small bumps ripple across the surface of her pink flesh. Pinching the firm bead between my fingers, I roll and twist. Melody groans against my lips. It's such a pretty little noise, a sound that makes my heart skip a beat.

She moves her hand faster, juggling my balls lightly before stroking back up to my crown. “Take me,” she says. “Take me before I lose my damn mind.”

“Don't worry, I will.” Biting her bottom lip, I run my tongue down her throat, causing
