Free My Soul Laid Bare: Book 4 (The Soul Keeper Series) by Melissa Solis Page B

that way.
    Cat's jamming out to classic rock in the truck, and I laugh when I open the door getting blown away at the noise level.
    “ This song is one of my all-time favorites. My dad used to play the CD over and over in car,” she admits. I get a kick over the way she says car. She has a passionate soul about life, horses, and I'm dying to know everything else she's fired up over.
    I take the long way around to her house trying like hell to prolong our date, but is seems like we still arrive at her home too soon. I help her out of my raised truck and hold her hand all the way to the door. “I had a really good time with you tonight,” I say pulling her in by the belt loops so that her waist is just inches from mine.   I catch a sigh leaving her lips, and I don't think she wants tonight to end either.
    “ Me too. I hope we can go out again soon.” Her hands slip inside my shirt telling me she's definitely not ready for me to leave yet. She runs her nails up my back, and I melt into her. I kiss her neck and hover over her ear. She lets out a soft sound that sends waves of sensation to my lower extremities. “It's so hot out here. I think it’s time for a swim,” she says sounding breathless. She pours a kiss over me that starts off slow and then deepens into something involving hands exploring like they were lost bloodhounds trying to sniff their way home. She feels the square packages in my thin shorts, and I cringe hoping she doesn't get the wrong idea. She fishes them out and displays them like a deck of cards in her hand.
    “ Sorry, I ...”
    “ Don't apologize Sam. I'm just glad you finally know what you want.”
    “ I want you Cat.” My admission comes out sounding as sincere as I meant it to. Slowly I see it hit home in her eyes.
    I hear kick off her shoes and unzip her dress. She tugs my lower lip with her teeth teasing me to join her in stripping down out here right under the unnatural glow of the yellow porch light.  The lake is right behind her house. As soon as she's naked, she runs to the small dock, and I hurry to catch up. Just as I round the corner I catch a glimpse of her beautiful bare flesh being swallowed by the navy lake.  She emerges from the water with her hair slicked backed, and water dripping from her nose. I run down the small hill in my shorts kicking them off just before I jump in after her just as naked as she is. It feels wrong, yet it feels so right. She moves over to me, and we collide in a wave of heated kisses. Her small hands move over my bare buttocks and shock s me. It's strange being so intimate with someone who isn't Brennen.
    The summer night is clear, and out here in the middle of sixty acres, every star is visible. I glide through the water on my back as she uses me as a floatation device. It's so quiet it out here. The only sound is the gentle lap of the water moving through my hands and the cicada humming in the trees. A falling star shoots across the sky, and Cat points at it in awe.
    “ Come on inside and we can rinse this lake water off ourselves.” she suggests. I’ve never showered with a woman before, and after this, I may not ever want to shower alone again. Cat scrubs my chest with her body wash and fingernails. She makes sure every inch of me is as clean as a whistle. I get the idea and repeat the process on her. The whole while all of this touching has made the sensation between us enter a new high. I know she feels it too. She towels off my body as I wrap another towel around her back pulling her in with it. We move to her bed. I grab the packages along the way.
    Cat is so beautiful lying under me. Her eyes tell me she wants this, she wants me in every way I’ll give her. I run my hands over her body letting my fingers gently bite at her flesh. I ease over her lips basking in their softness. It’s as though they were made for me. We drown in each other, and I never want to come up for air. All I want is this girl… this moment… to last
