couldn't get any worse, she has a car accident in the mountains and

Riley
walked away and took a few steps toward the river. With his back facing me, he
stood while looking at the waterfall. It was a beautiful scene—his tall, shirtless body with his
blonde hair tousled and gently blowing in the wind. He took another step and
surprised me by kicking off his boots. Then, he leaned down and rolled up his
pant legs. He jogged over to a cluster of large rocks, his footing quick and
poised, and sat with his bare feet dangling in the water.
I yelled
out, "Is it safe to do that?"
He looked
at me and laughed lightly. "Yeah, it’s safe. Do you think there are
piranhas or crocodiles in the river?" He continued to chuckle, and a
toothy smile broke free on my face. "Don't worry. There isn't anything
deadly in these waters—just
harmless fish, frogs, and Northern Water snakes. They won't hurt you." He
beckoned to me. "Come over here and join me. The water is nice and
cool." He kicked his feet, making splashes in the water.
I was
hesitant to join him, but the water intrigued me. I decided to trust him, so I
walked over to the rocks. They were flat, smooth, and slick. My steps were
wobbly as I tried to avoid getting a foot stuck in the cracks or slipping on
the moss. Once I stood next to him, he looked up at me with a wide smile. I
removed my sneakers, peeled off my socks, and rolled up my sweatpants. Riley
was right. The water was pleasantly cool and refreshing.
He kicked
his feet again, this time making a bigger splash. I tried to outdo him, but my
smaller feet were no match for his large ones. We laughed together, but the
rushing water overpowered the harmonious sound.
I stole a
glance at him while he looked at the river. He leaned back casually on his
elbows, and I couldn't help but admire his six-pack abs and toned chest.
Little, brown moles spotted his torso, and I imagined playing connect-the-dots
with my tongue. His skin enticed me, and I wanted to run my hands all over it.
A lustful feeling washed over me, and I swallowed thickly, averting my gaze.
Riley
chuckled low in his throat, and I knew he caught me staring. His hand touched
my lower back, and I looked at him over my shoulder. A grin spread across his
lips as he tugged the shirt hem.
"This
is my shirt, isn't it?" My eyes widened, and I whipped my head around. In
less than two seconds, my face flushed with heat.
"Um,
yes," I mumbled. "Sorry. I borrowed it, because Quinn's clothes were
too small for me, and I didn't feel comfortable browsing through Celia's
wardrobe." The latter reason was a lie. I was just determined to cover
myself with his clothes.
"No
worries. I don't mind," he soothed. "You can borrow whatever you
want. What's mine is yours, love."
I turned
my head slightly to peek at him, grateful his focus was still on the shirt. I
recalled the words he spoke earlier. "Let's say hypothetically I did stay here with you. How would we be
together when I'm human and you're a wolf?"
"If
you're referring to us being biologically compatible, Máni and Freya blessed
us, so we can breed with humans."
His foot
brushed against mine under the water. It came back a second time and then a
third. He sat up and scooted closer to me, until our thighs were touching. I
looked over at him and almost fell into his seafoam pools. I had to regain
control before I did something I would regret...like lean over and kiss those
bee-stung lips.
