Chapter 23 Jaxon

If I thought my mate looked good in a bathing suit, it’s a pale comparison to the goddess that is standing in front of me now.

Her long, lithe body is shadowed by the darkness of night, but that only accentuates the white color of her strapless b*ra and panties, and as my eyes travel down her body, I nearly swallow my t*ong*ue at seeing those strappy heels still attached to her feet.

Once again, I’m so fucking h*ard, I feel like I’m about to blow my load. I even planned ahead this time, took care of things in the shower earlier knowing I’d be dancing with her. It doesn’t matter, everytime I see her, t*ouch her, my body’s response is instant and intense.

“You’re beautiful,” I say reverently, meaning it.

I continue to look over her body, happy that she doesn’t seem shy about me looking at her. I pull off my jacket, tossing it into the grass before beginning to unbutton my cuffs and then the buttons of my shirt. Even in the dim light of the evening, I can see her eyes darken. As I pull my shirt off, tossing it on top of my jacket, I watch her l*icK those delectable lips.

I kick off my shoes, then begin to undo my belt and pants. I kick them over with my other clothes.
