ROSEMARY
The sun is beginning to lower, and with it the temperature begins to drop. âAre you okay? Getting cold?â Alexi asks.
âYeah. Iâm really sorry. Again.â
âHold still, Iâm going to come down.â
âIâm not climbing down this tree.â I warn him.
âNo. Me neither. Iâm just coming down one branch to sit with you. Our body heat can at least come each other warm.â
The pines shake as Alexi moves. The dog below starts barking up at us again. He doesnât trust Alexiâs judgement on this either. Heâs bark is more than likely telling him to sit his ass down before he breaks his neck. My heart is racing because weâre up so high and the branches could break or he could lose his footing. It didnât seem like we climbed that many steps on the ladder. Then again, I wasnât exactly in sound mind when I did it. Pure adrenaline and fear got up this tree, and itâs going to keep there.
Any fear of this branch breaking is gone when I feel the warmth of Alexiâs body against mine. Comfort washes over me. I sink into his embrace.
âYouâre so warm.â I sigh. âYou feel incredible.â
He does. His body is larger than mine, solid, yet soft and comfortable. He wraps around me perfectly. But then he speaks.
âJust call me Google. Because Iâm everything youâve been searching for.â
Then, for whatever reason, I turn my head and kiss him. He stiffens beneath my lips. Holding his breath and not moving a muscle. I part my lips enough to suck his top one. Alexiâs body presses against mine more firmly, caging me tightly against the tree. His tongue swipes out in search of mine. I eagerly greet his with mine, and his goes deeper into my mouth. Not sure if itâs a rush from being up this high, physically on the edge, or all the pent-up energy and banter, but this kiss isnât like one Iâve ever had before. Itâs amazing.
His cock presses against my ass. I want him to press it harder against me. Iâm greedy and want to feel all of him, but fear of plummeting to my death keeps me from turning around and sitting on his lap. Alexi pants out my name, âRosemary.â
My back arches into him as one of his hands comes to pinch my breast through my clothing. I need more. Alexi does as well by the feel of his cock begging against me.
âAre we about to have sex in a tree?â I breathe against him. The sun is beginning to set and itâs borderline romantic. Only borderline because this isnât comfortable.
The dog begins barking causing alarm bells to ring through my lusty haze. âWhat if thereâs a wolf down there? Is he barking at a coyote? A bear? Bears climb trees, you know.â
Alexi places his palm over my mouth. âShush. You hear that?â
Relief washes over me. Itâs voices. Human voices are approaching.
âMary! Mary!â
Alexi looks down. âAre you Mary?â
âYou said she was a sheep dog, right?â
âLooks like it, why?â
I shrug. âWell, Mary had a little lamb.
