تسجيل الدخولKatrina's POV My thighs pressed together, slick and trembling with every step I made, and it wasn't helping that I could feel his eyes on my back the whole way down the hall. I could feel them staring at my lower back, like he was very much aware of the mess he'd created.The bathroom door clicked shut behind me as I let out a shaky exhale, running a hand through my hair as another shudder shot through my body.Damnit, I needed to do something about this ASAP.I gripped the edge of the sink and stared at myself in the mirror, noticing how flushed my cheeks were now, how my lips parted desperately for a release, and my pupils were blown wide, swirling with a longing to be watered with excitement.You look like a woman who just ran away from a one night stand, I told myself, biting on my bottom lips as another image of his fingers inside of me flashed through my head.Taking another deep breath, I ran the cold water and pressed wet fingers to the back of my neck, trying to cool the he
Katrina's POV I held back a breath and looked up to meet their eyes. Adrian was still recovering from the burn and kept to himself for now, and Sarah was too jealous to notice anything different, going through her phone to mask her emotions.But when I stole a glance at Christian, he didn't have any look in his face to give him away, but I recognised that smirk from anywhere. That hungry tease smiling back at me for an invitation.As I held back another breath and felt a shudder up my skin, his hand slid along my thigh, slowly but teasingly, as if daring me to say a word about it or push him away. Shit, he took Sarah's words seriously. I quickly looked away, not daring to move or speak as I forced myself to stab through the leftover pasta, trying to keep my face neutral from giving me away instantly. I could feel his cold fingers as they dragged across my heated legs, making my legs instinctively widen to his touch for more.And just as his fingers slipped into the hem of my damp
Katrina's POV My fork was still hanging in the air, meatball glistening with sauce, and every single person at that table stared at me like I'd just murdered someone in their front.Sarah's eyes turned dark with disbelief and jealousy. Adrian's fork was frozen halfway to his lips. Even Leo had gone frozen, but in confusion, his little jaw paused mid-chew, watching the scene like he didn't understand.But Christian? He just stared at me.His grip on Sarah's wrist loosened. She yanked her arm back, cradling it against her chest, but he didn't even look at her. His eyes were locked on mine, burning with something close to relief and amusement.Then, before I could change my mind, his lips curled up into a slow, wicked grin.Then, without a word, he leaned forward. And instead of taking the fork from me, he just ate it from my reach. His mouth closed around the meatball, and I watched his jaw work, watched his throat move as he swallowed. When he pulled back, his tongue swept across his
Katrina's POV How bad could it be there? Pull yourself together Katrina. Don't let them make you act early.I took a deep breath as I moved barefeet through the hallway leading towards the cabin's main room. My towel was still wrapped around my shoulders, and some strands of my hair still stuck to my skin, making me shiver a bit as the cold breeze nibbed at my body.But that wasn't what stopped me cold. It was the sounds that reached me.Thankfully, it wasn't…”that” sound.Sarah's laughter drifted through the atmosphere in a sweet, light tone, then muffled voices followed afterwards. Adrian's was the clearest. I could hear him talking about his work, and his plans to actually work overtime with some new recruits.I stopped at the doorway, clenching my jaws as my eyes moved towards the direction of their voices.They were seated at the dining table like it was any other night. I could see two plates on the table from where I stood, then cloth napkins, a bottle of wine between themsel
Katrina's POV My body whipped around so fast the water slapped against my waist."Adrian!" The laugh, fake and unimpressed, slipped through my gritted teeth as I forced my face into something resembling surprise, "I didn't think you'd actually step outside tonight.”His eyes narrowed on me. And when I followed his direction of sight, I realized it was the water around me. There were little ripples spreading around my figure, despite the fact that I was submerged perfectly still."What's that?" He stepped closer to the edge, squinting into the dark. "Something is moving in there."My heart pounded against my chest, but I maintained my composure as I quickly blurted out, "Fish.""Fish?""It's a lake, Adrian. They live here." I crossed my arms over my chest, pressing my breasts together under the water. If he looked too long, he'd see the way my nipples were still hard. "What do you want?"He stopped at the edge. The porch light shone on the side of his face, and for some seconds, I stu
Katrina's POV"Let's wait a bit," I said, my voice barely above a whisper. The cold from the lake was starting to bite through my skin, but that wasn't why I was shaking. Sarah's face kept flashing at the back of my head; that smug smile on her perfectly sculptured face as she held up my photo album like it was a joke. "I'm not ready to go back in there yet."Christian's jaw tightened, like he was fighting himself to believe me. "You sure? You're shivering.""I'm sure." I nodded, pulling my knees up on the dock, hugging them. "Besides, after everything that just happened in there, I'd rather freeze out here."He exhaled through his nose, then hand found my shoulder, gently squeezing it. I held back a moan as the heat from his palm eased the cold skin there. My nipples hardened instantly against my wrapped arms, and I bit the inside of my cheek."Fine." He sat down next to me, his thigh pressed against mine. "But if you get hypothermia, I'm carrying you over my shoulders whether you li
