Austin was everything and everywhere all at once.

I felt him lose some of that pent up control the second my tongue touched his, and it was a magnificent moment. It was everything I wanted and had dreamed of over the last ten years.

I was so happy I could've cried, but then Austin's hard body and the way he devoured my mouth made it difficult to focus on anything but his mouth against mine. How it lit a spark deep inside of me which spread through my body like a fever.

Austin wasn't an alpha male per se, but he could definitely take charge when he wanted to. And holy smokes did he want to. It was clear in the way he held me, and in the way he took control of my mouth.

The strength of his body held me up and the hard ridge behind his gym shorts ground into me as he smashed my back into the tree behind me. The bark dug into my skin through the soft t-shirt, but I didn't care.

I didn't care about anything but him.

About his mouth on mine, his taste, and how our breaths mingled together. About the feel of his solid body against mine, and about the heat and desperate need in those dark brown eyes.

We were in the middle of the woods, somewhere in the very rural Maine. I knew the lake community had other cabins from what Alex and Austin had told me, but I hadn't seen any, or any people. And at that moment, I didn't care where we were as long as I was in his arms.

The only thing that could be heard were birds chirping and the occasional creak of a tree branch swaying in the wind. I could smell the sap from the tree bark at my back and the surrounding pine trees, but it couldn't compare to the spicy scent of Austin or the way he tasted.

The warmth of his muscular body encased mine and despite everything that was going on around us -and I didn't mean in the woods, but in his life- I felt safe in his arms.

Austin's tongue slid against mine as he pushed it in, like he was trying to explore the deepest chasm of my mouth, and I was there for it. I gave as good as I received.

Our hands began to wander in search of skin we hadn't touched in ten years. I tugged at Austin's t-shirt at the same time as his hands found my hips and squeezed. His back muscles were firm, and I felt them flexed under my fingertips.

I knew I moaned louder than I ever had, and for the first time in my life, I really didn't care if anyone overheard or even saw us. Being wrapped up in Austin, with his mouth on mine and his erection pressing into me, was a dream come true. The only thing that could've made it better was if our clothes disappeared.

"Babe..." he groaned and thrust his hips against mine.

And god, it was everything I wanted. I'd had so many dreams over the last ten years where he called me that. And I'd wondered what it would be like if I ever got Austin to kiss me again, and the reality was better. So much better. It was a true toe curling experience.

Austin's hand found its way in under my t-shirt. He slid it slowly up my side, scorching me with his touch, until he skimmed the underside of my breast. I eagerly pushed myself towards him, offering him more, urging him to touch me. To take me, devour me, make me his.

We both moaned into each other's mouths when his hand cupped my breast and his thumb rubbed ever so gently over the oversensitive nipple.

"Oh, God, Austin..."

"Need you, babe," he growled and my body singed in response.

"Yes, oh yes."

His hands fumbled for my pants and I eagerly helped him pull them down. The slight breeze blew over my bare legs and my most private parts, but it did nothing to cool down the burning feeling inside of me.

I reached for Austin's shorts at the same time as his fingers slipped over my torched skin and down to my slippery folds.

"God," he groaned as his fingers caressed the most private part of me, and took my mouth with his.

We became rough mouths, clanking teeth, and desperate hands. I wanted him like I'd never wanted anyone before and I would've let him take me like a savage, right there in the woods in broad daylight, but Bear barked, and that broke the magic.

Austin stumbled as he pulled away from me, and the way he spun around and searched our surroundings was a wake up call I didn't need.

We'd both lost our heads for a minute. And I realized just how dangerous that could be.
