Chapter Five

Laurel

Plucked from my feet, captured in a net, all I could think about was the man pressed against me.

Cypress towered over me in stature, but he’d never once intimidated me. His chest was solid muscle beneath my palms. Everything about him was hard, except his heart. He held his arm protectively around me. I fit perfectly against his chiseled body, like this was where I was always meant to be. The taste of him lingered on my lips. Not just the taste, but the feeling, too.

The reality of Cypress blew away everything I’d thought I knew.

I wanted to pull off his clothes and explore every inch of his body. I wanted to play out the story I’d written, but with Cypress.

Celedon was a fantasy. I didn’t realize it until Cypress’s kiss, but Cypress was real. What he felt for me, and what I’d always felt for him and never realized—that was real.

I was in love with Cypress.

“Are you okay?”

His voice startled me and pulled me from my thoughts. Leaning my head back against the net, I looked up.

Concern marred Cypress’s brow and settled in his chestnut eyes. I wanted to get lost in his gaze, in the feel of him, and to lift myself up enough to steal another life-changing kiss. I sucked my lips between my teeth to nip the urge.

I nodded. “I’m okay.”

He slid his hand down my back, settling it just above my ass. His thumb circled in a soft caress. I closed my eyes, reveling in his touch.

He twisted his wrist behind me, and the whole net shook. I opened my eyes to find Cypress pulling on the ropes. We jostled, and my balance shifted.

Startled, I grabbed hold of his shirt.

He didn’t seem to notice, or didn’t care. Lifting his hands up over my head, he pulled at the net.

My entire body tensed, including muscles I didn’t know I had. His leg slipped between mine, his thigh pressing deliciously at my core.

“I’m going to get us out of here,” he said.

Maybe it hadn’t been meant as a caress. Maybe I was misinterpreting everything.

No, there was no misinterpreting that kiss.

I had to move. I tried to hook my ankle around his, and shifted my hips. And there was friction.

Cypress stilled.

I moved faster, squirming to get away, when it was clearly impossible. “I’m just going to—”

Instead of away, I somehow managed to flip myself around. The net wobbled. A lattice of netting dug into the entire front of my body, including my face. Better—no worse, definitely worse, Cypress’s huge form pressed against my backside, including a particularly huge form right against my ass.

This was not how it happened in my fantasies.

One of my arms was pinned under my chest, the other stuck awkwardly out through one of the holes in the net.

My face squished into the ropes, I stared down at the forest floor, spotting my bag, which I’d been so sure would prepare me for every possibility. And I laughed.

None of this was funny. It was the opposite of funny, and yet, I couldn’t help but laugh at the absurdity of it all.
