Missing Linc, Kori Roberts [romantic novels to read .txt] 📗

to the rain forest since I was a kid. My cousins and I

practically lived there when I visited during the summers. It became our personal kingdom.

We”d get there first thing in the morning and spend our whole day running around,

terrorizing the animals, each other, and any person unfortunate enough to encounter us on

the trails.” Linc chuckled, shaking his head, his voice slightly wistful. “We were such a

bunch of badass kids, causing havoc all over the place, but we had a good time.”

“It sounds like it,” Mitch commented, a smile spreading across his face at the image

Linc painted and the way his eyes shined at the memory, despite his slightly embarrassed

tone. “Too bad we missed the last bus for the day.”

“You don”t need to ride the tour bus in order to go.” Linc looked in Tomi”s direction,

and Mitch watched him admire her bare legs as she sat on the edge of the bed and tied the

laces of her Nikes. Mitch couldn”t blame him. Tomi had amazing legs. Smooth and toned,

they had just enough muscle definition without appearing too bulky. The tiny pair of shorts

and tank top she wore emphasized the rest of her incredible body.

“The tour through the rain forest is self-directed,” Linc continued. “It”s quicker — and a

lot more fun — if you drive on your own. You can stay as long as you want and leave when

you”re ready, not when someone tells you it”s time to go.” “Cool!” Tomi”s entire face lit up, and she bounced a little on the bed. “Let”s do it.” She

paused, her face suddenly crestfallen. “Damn, we didn”t rent a car, and I doubt there are any

still available on a Saturday.”

Linc laughed and sat down on the bed next to Tomi; his hand immediately reached out

and touched her leg, as if he couldn”t resist any longer.

“I just happen to know a limousine service, and I think I can convince them to provide

you with a car for the day.”

“Are you sure?” Mitch knew Tomi well enough to see that she was trying to hide her

excitement, but the hopeful note in her tone was very evident. Her gaze shifted to Mitch and

then back to Linc. “We really want to go, Linc, but we don”t want to disrupt your business.”

“For you, I”m sure I can work something out.”

Tomi threw her arms around Linc and hugged him tightly before giving him a kiss on

the lips. “Thank you,” she whispered. “Although you won”t admit it, I know that it”s a big

deal to change plans at the last minute when you already have schedules set for the day. I

want you to know we really appreciate it.”

Linc”s eyes remained fastened on her lips. “It”s more than worth it if it means getting a

reaction like that.” He dipped his head and kissed her again.

As Mitch watched, he felt his entire body tighten, his dick lengthen in his shorts. Jesus,

they were so fucking hot together.

“I wish you could come with us,” Tomi said when they finally came up for air. “I”d love

to see the rain forest from your perspective.”

“I don”t think that”s going to be a problem,” Linc murmured against her lips. “Although

I can provide a car, I don”t have any drivers available today,” he admitted. “So that means

you”re stuck with me again as your driver.”

When their lips met again, Mitch found himself moving, no longer able to stand and

watch from the sidelines any longer, needing to be part of the heat they generated. He reached the bed and bent to kiss them both, and the kiss went from hot to fiery in

an instant. Three sets of tongues played together, three sets of lips slipped, slid, and pressed

against each other.

Linc was the first to pull away, his eyes filled with regret. “If we”re going to make it to

El Yunque anytime today, I think we need to stop now or we”ll never leave this room. And

we still need to stop by my house so I can change clothes, and then by the garage so I can

pick up a car.”

Linc was right. However, as much as Mitch wanted to see the rain forest, the urge to

climb between the sheets with Linc and Tomi again was almost too strong to ignore.

With a sigh, Mitch reluctantly stood. “Linc”s right.” He reached for Tomi”s hand and

pulled her to her feet. “We need to go now.” He was talking to himself as much as he was to

them. They needed to put as much space between them and this bed as possible. Otherwise,

he was going to start taking off clothes.

“You”re both right,” Tomi agreed. “But first, I need nourishment.” As if on cue, her

stomach rumbled loudly. “After the workout you two gave me, I could eat a small animal.”

She picked up her wallet and camera off the dresser and headed toward the door. Laughing,

they followed her out the room.

“Oh, look at that!” Linc chuckled, following behind Tomi”s rapidly moving form as she

jogged down a trail. They”d started their tour of the rain forest nearly two hours ago with

Tomi leading the way most of the time, her excitement infectious, increasing with every

unique plant she discovered, every new animal she encountered. For the moment, her focus

was on a tree with several small, colorful birds clustered together on a branch.

“That”s a San Pedrito,” Linc told her when Mitch and he finally caught up to her.

“Little Saint Peter.” Linc nodded at Tomi”s translation as he stared at the tiny parrots in the tree. “They”re

very common in El Yunque.”

“They”re beautiful.” She pulled out her camera and added another picture to the dozens

she”d already taken for the afternoon. Something new caught her attention, and just that

quickly, her interest shifted from the birds, and she was moving down the trail again toward

a new target, her long, thick hair bouncing as she went.

Linc glanced at Mitch. “I take it she”s having a good time,” he told the other man as

they followed behind Tomi at a slower pace.

Mitch snorted with laughter. “What gave it away: the constant shrieks
