Camp Hardwood by Alexa Riley

Chapter Seven

Moose

“Is your radio not working?” Ford asks on the other end of the phone.

I walk out of the room and onto the front porch. I don’t want to worry Zara but I’m going to have to face this at some point.

“Truthfully, I don’t know. The power went out last night and it didn’t charge.” I glance over my shoulder, hating even this small distance between us. “I’ve got just enough battery on my phone for this call so say what you need to.”

“Is Zara okay? Honey has been worried.” He sighs and I can hear her in the background asking follow-up questions.

“Yeah, I made sure she’s safe.” Flashes of her naked and riding my cock enter my mind without warning and I have to bite back a moan.

“Good. Are you on your way to bring her back?”

I knew this part would come and yet, I’m not ready to face it. I want to stay in this cabin and lock out the rest of the world, even though I know that’s not realistic.

“We’re about to leave.”

I don’t confirm that I’m bringing her back because I’m not. I’m going to let her get her things and then we’re coming right back here. I don’t know yet how I’m going to break the news to Ford and Honey, or Zara for that matter.

I think she feels the same things I do, but we haven’t said anything out loud. I just know how my heart feels when I’m with her and I don’t ever want that feeling to end.

“Be careful and we’ll see you soon.”

Ford hangs up and I stand there for a moment as I let out a breath. I don’t want to think about him trying to take Zara from me and what I might do if he does. I’ve known Ford a long time and he and his wife have been good to me. I don’t need the job at the camp, so if he tells me this is forbidden then I’ll quit on the spot. Zara is eighteen and doesn’t need anyone's permission and I’ve got enough skills and money to take care of her. When I think it through I feel a bit better knowing that nothing can stand in our way, but it would be a lot easier if Ford didn't make a big deal about it.

“Is everything okay?” I hear her soft voice from behind me and I turn around to see her in the doorway.

“Everything is going to be fine.” I walk to her and pull her against my chest as I feel her small arms attempt to circle my waist.

“Is it?” She leans back to look up at me with her big blue eyes that remind me of a spring sky.

“I’ll make sure of it.” I kiss the top of her head and then rest my cheek against it. I don’t want this moment to be broken, but I need to get her things and bring her home so I can stop worrying about what is going to happen when we get back to camp. “Let’s get you dressed.”

We’re quiet as I help her put her clothes back on. They’ve dried out well enough since last night, but it won’t be long before we’re back here and she can change again. There are worry lines around her eyes, but I don’t want to bring voice to my own fears. Instead I try to be strong and confident as we get ready to make our way back down the mountain to Camp Hardwood.

“The terrain is too rough to bring my Jeep all the way up here so we have to hike down a bit to get to it.”

“Okay.” She’s quiet as I take her hand and we make our way through the thick trees.

Along the way a lot of debris and some larger branches have fallen. A couple of times I have to help her over them by picking her up and lifting her. Every time my hands are on her, my mind goes insane with need. Even the soft feel of her palm in mine is driving my desire forward. The more we walk in silence the stronger my want grows and I can’t take much more.

My shorts are painful as I try to hike with my hard cock aching between my thighs. I don’t know how many more steps I can take before I need some relief but it won’t be much longer.

Up ahead a huge tree has fallen over the trail and blocks the path to my Jeep. We’re still so deep in the woods that there’s no one around for miles who could help us get this out of the way. I’ll have to bring a crew up with chainsaws to get it out of here, but for now we can go over it.

Visions of bending Zara over it and fucking her out here in the open slam in my mind all at once and my feet stumble.

“Moose.” Zara stops and tugs on my hand.

“I can’t,” I say as I swallow hard. “I need you.”

Her eyes widen as I yank her against me and lift her off the ground. I stomp over to where the tree is and set her on it, desperately tugging at my shorts.

“What are you doing?” I hear the edge of desire in her voice as she looks at me and then looks around us.

“Bend over the tree. I can’t wait much longer.” I shove my shorts down to my ankles along with my boxer briefs. I pull my shirt off and toss it on the damp moss and see she’s still frozen in place. “Now,” I bark, and she snaps to attention.

I grab the back of her shorts and she lies over the log on her belly. It’s big enough that her feet don’t touch the ground, but she’s the perfect height for me to fuck her on it.

“I’ll try to be easy,” I pledge as I grab the base of my cock and slide the tip between her wet folds.

“Don’t.”

The one word spoken softly echoes around me like a call to battle. My sweet, innocent, lost angel wants me to possess her just as much as I need to do it.

“Good girl.”

I thrust in hard all the way to the root and she cries out, not in pain but in pleasure. Her warm, wet heat welcomes me and I brace my hands on either side of the log as I thrust in and out, deep and fast. I can hear the sounds of the birds singing and wind blowing through the trees between my grunts. I rut into her like a bear on his mate as sweat trickles down my back.

The sounds of her wet, sticky syrup as my cock slaps against her are so loud they scare a nearby bunny away. I grunt and growl, gripping the bark so I don’t grab on to her and leave bruises. Her ass bounces with every thrust and I hear her moans of pleasure. When her pussy grips me tighter and she cums on my cock I stare down to see her sweet cream covering me. I slow down and savor the feeling. It’s absolute hell not cumming with her, but I want her to ride out every wave of passion before I hold myself deep.

I let go of the tree and use my hands to spread her thighs as I thrust in one last time and give in to what nature demands. It feels like I’m breeding my female in my secret spot in the woods and I’ve never felt bigger or harder in my life.

I fall onto her back as I cum into her and feel the sticky release spread between us. The birds sing and the sun shines on us as my breathing evens and I close my eyes. It’s the most peaceful moment of my life and I’m not in a rush to break it.

But I can’t lie on her like this forever, and eventually I stand up and slowly withdraw from her heat. I stare at her bent over the log with my seed slowly leaking from her pussy.

I want to beat my chest and roar like a mountain lion, but instead I lean down and kiss the soft, round swells of her ass. I rub my hands along her back and whisper how beautiful and perfect she is.

The thought of someone trying to take her from me has me hard and in a rage all over again, but this time I need her to understand why. I pick her up and turn her around so that she can see my face as I cup her cheeks.

“I’m not going to let anyone separate us,” I vow with every part of my soul. “You’ve changed my life, my soul.”

Her eyes well up with tears as her hands cover mine and she nods.

“I mean it, Zara. I’m not letting you go. Ever.”

“Good,” she agrees, and we both cling to one another.

“Now let’s go get your things and bring you home.”

“I like the sound of that,” she says, and I kiss her with everything I have in my heart.
