Chapter 64: More Than Wet

FLUE

Anna didn’t blink once as she watched Will striking the wed. When he hided the www to then, die wudged me with her suplion

“Save the outcome of this for later; that’s what I’m going to do the whired, wedding sexgens

“What?”

“You’ll see. Just watch and enjoy.”

We watched as Ethan approached the large log positioned on the ground, placing the place of wood upright on it. I couldn’t help but feel concerned. The axe looked quite sharp, and any slip could lead to an accident.

“Isn’t this dangerous? Since when do these suit–and–tie snobs from New York and London know how to chop wood?” I said, loud enough to catch everyone’s attention. “By the way, why do we even need firewood?”

“For the fireplace,” Anna said. “The forecast says it’s going to get colder tonight”

“Yeah, I saw some warnings about a possible storm,” Zara added, sitting between Anna and Rosie,

“I think Ellie’s underestimating our skills. Show her, Morgan,” Will encouraged Ethan, who had been staring at me the entire time, but 1

couldn’t read his mood,

“Sorry if I hurt some of your fragile masculinity!” I mocked. “Go ahead! Show me! Oh, and in case you don’t know, the goal is to hit the wood with that thing in your hand!” I teased.

I saw a small smirk form at the corner of his lips, letting me know the challenge had been accepted. He turned toward the log.

“You know the rules, Ethan!” Anna said.

Rules? What was she talking about?

“Try to sound less excited,” Will warned, jealous. She just laughed.

“The girl next to me deserves the full show!” She winked at me.

Ethan set the axe against the log before pulling his black T–shirt over his head. Okay. Everything had just gotten a thousand times more

interesting.

I swallowed hard, feeling certain parts of my body wake up. How was this possible? He had been inside me just a few minutes ago, but the sight of his bare chest was enough to make my entire body crave him again.

He leaned over to pick up the axe again, making all the muscles in his back flex. Then, I understood exactly what Anna meant. There was something captivating about the scene–it was sexy, wild, and primal all at once. It made me want to drag Ethan to the bedroom.

I stopped breathing when he lifted the axe for the first time, before swinging it down and splitting the log in half in one go. His skin glistened with sweat. God! I wanted to lick every part of his body, especially what was under those jeans.

I watched as he set another log on the block and chopped it again, fascinated by the way his biceps flexed. I sighed heavily when he abandoned The axe

And Anna asked, pulling me out of my trance, I blinked a few times.

“I’m not sure if I’ll be able to save this for later,” I said, and we both laughed.

“I think we have enough firewood,” Jack said as Ethan stacked the chopped logs onto the woodpile.

“No way!” Rosie said. “It’s your brother’s turn.”

Ethan started walking toward me, covered in a glistening layer of sweat. Lowering himself beside me, he rested one knee on the grass. I tried not to stare at his chest.

“You didn’t seem to doubt my ability to handle something else half an hour ago,” he whispered.

“You can’t blame me for thinking that an arrogant suit–and–tie type like you wouldn’t know how to use an axe.”

“There are many things you don’t know about me, Brown.”

“Yeah, and I guess I’ll never find out,” I said, thinking out loud.

Rosie squealed, and the girls started laughing next to us, drawing my attention. Neil had just taken off his shirt. He wasn’t Ethan, but it was still interesting.

“Hey, I’m right here.” He grabbed my chin, lifting it toward him.

“Yes, so just sit tight and don’t interrupt the show,” I teased, pushing his hand away and turning back to Neil.

Moving behind me, he sat down before pulling me between his legs, pressing my back against his bare chest.

“Try to focus now,” he whispered, sending a shiver down my spine. “Did watching me chop wood get you wet?”

Oh yes… He’d done much more than just get me wet, but I wouldn’t admit it, not even if I were dead.

“Don’t be so full of yourself.”

I let my head rest on his shoulder, inhaling deeply and taking in his masculine scent mixed with the smell of grass and sweat. He wrapped his arm around my torso, caressing my arm as his forearm brushed against my breasts over my dress.

“Unlike you, your nipples don’t lie.”

“Stop trying to grope me in front of everyone, you pervert,” I said, making both of us smile.

Zoe arrived with a breakfast basket shortly after. We watched Bennett finish chopping the last of the logs. Then, the rest of the group sat down,

forming a circle on the grass.

We had breakfast while chatting. The moment made me grateful to have each one of them in my life.

At some point, when Zara mentioned it was our last day here and that we should make the most of it, I felt Ethan tense against my back.

“Anna…” I shook my head.

I didn’t want to talk about it. I was trying to suppress any feelings. Thinking about it was enough to make my chest hurt. Luckily, Wil suddenly approached us. Ethan was right behind him. They both looked suspicious.

“Hey, baby, it’s a little hot, don’t you think?” Will leaned over Anna to kitt her.

“A little,” she admitted, confused. “What are you up to?”

“I thought we could cool off a bit,” he said before wrapping his arms around her and lifting her up.

“What are you doing?” She laughed,

I looked at Ethan, who tried to hide a smile, making me realize what Will was planning. Shit,

“Anna!” I warned, trying to get her attention, but it was too late by the time she realized. Will started walking toward the wooden dock at the

lake.
