And now, a short outtake for Rebound ... this was last week's entry for Tricky Raven's Drabble Challenge. To go along with the Cherry Poppin' theme, it's pretty much just smut. LOL

Thanks to those of you who sent me outtake ideas! I will work on them soon. =)

Writing Prompt: "Do you think I'd be here if I cared?"

"Emb? Wh- what are you … ohhhhhhh …"

Liz lost coherence as she felt Embry's tongue slide inside her. Clutching under the sleeping bag at his hair, she tried to keep from bucking wildly into him. A mewling sound spilled from her lips as he brushed over her clit. "Embry, they'll hear us!" she whispered urgently.

He paused for a moment, looking up with a wicked grin. "Want me to stop?" Slowly, he slid a finger into her.

"Oh, God." She shoved his head down, forcing him back to the task at hand.

"Mmm …" he hummed as he lapped at her. "I like waking you up this way."

As he brought her higher and higher, she closed her eyes, trying to pretend there wasn't a pack of wolves with supersonic hearing sleeping just outside their tent. The camping trip was Quil's idea, an overnight excursion for the guys and their imprints in the national forest. It sounded romantic at the time—cooking over a fire, cuddling in a sleeping bag with Embry—until Liz realized privacy wouldn't be an easy thing to come by.

There wasn't time to dwell on it now, though. Not when Embry was doing that with his tongue. She shattered hard, gasping as she came.

He slid up her body, planting a trail of heated kisses along the way. Arriving at her breasts, he took special care with each nipple, sucking them in his mouth one at a time for a soothing caress.

"Please, Emb …"

"Please, what?" he asked, hot breath tickling her neck while he nibbled at her tender flesh. "Do you want me inside you?" His voice was a throaty whisper as he ground his hips, pushing his erection against her center. The delicious friction made them both moan with pleasure. Dropping his mouth to hers, he gave her a deep, slow kiss, stroking her lips with a delicate trace of his tongue. Her insides lit up in flames.

"Y- yes," she stammered, breathless, wrapping her legs around his waist. She arched into him. "I want you inside me. Please, Emb."

"As you wish."

He slid into her with a sweet, slow burn, their joined bodies moving in a sensual rhythm that came as naturally as breathing. Enveloped in his warmth, she gazed into his eyes, touching his cheek with a tender brush of her knuckles. "I love you."

"Fuck, baby, I love you, too."

Leaning down to kiss her again, his strokes became faster, more urgent. He moved his hand between them to work at her clit, coaxing another release. It wasn't long before they spilled over the edge together, Embry discharging a deep, guttural groan.

As he collapsed onto her, panting, a resonant howl came from one of the tents next to them—followed by "I looooooooove you baby!" and a rousing chorus of laughter and raucous whoops from the others.

Liz flushed crimson. "Aren't you embarrassed?"

Flashing her another wicked grin, Embry disappeared under the sleeping bag once more. "Do you think I'd be here if I cared?"

Once again, thanks for the nomination, and don't forget to vote!
