Georgie of the Jungle by J.A. Bailey Read Free Book Online Page A

if you get lost, her mother’s voice
intoned in her head.  She snorted. That was all very well when she was a
young girl getting lost on her stepfather’s estate, but this was the jungle .
    Wrapping
her arms around herself, she took a proper look at her surroundings. Well, if
she was to be here for a while, she should at least build a shelter…or something.
    Coming
shakily to her feet, Georgina marched over to a tree and battled with a large
branch until it came free. She stared at the branch in her hand. Great, now
what? Oh, if only she’d paid attention when Harry was watching those extreme
survival programmes.
    Lost
in her imaginings, she didn’t hear the creature rustling through the
undergrowth until it was nearly upon her.  Spinning wildly, she thrust out
the stick in her hand as her heart beat heavily in her chest. The end of the
branch shook. What could it be? A tiger? A bear? She didn’t have a clue what
lived in the jungle but she certainly didn’t want to meet it. Was it a snake? Please
don’t be a snake, please don’t be a snake.
    A
scream bubbled up her throat and dissolved at the sight of the creature that
pounced through the greenery.
    Frozen,
Georgina gaped at the wall of bronzed skin and muscle that greeted her. Her
eyes traced over the man’s shoulders and followed the stark indents of his
stomach, down, down, down to… She gulped. Bloody hell, he was completely naked.
She tilted her head. And he was becoming aroused.
    Snapping
her gaze to his face, she found the breath stolen from her as bright blue eyes
met hers. His hair was a golden hue, tousled around his head. Though long, it
was not what she would have expected from a tribal man and ended at the base of
his neck, curling in the heat.
    He
thrust his spear at her in a pointing motion and Georgina jumped back with a
squeal.
    “Lost?”
    Georgina
released a breath. “Yes, yes I’m lost. Can you help me?”
    He
grunted. “Come.”
    Hesitating,
she eyed the man once more. He had to be over six feet tall and had more muscle
than she’d ever seen in her life. He was also most definitely aroused. Her
cheeks heated as his cock grew under her scrutiny. Lord, she didn’t even know
they could be that big! What would it feel like inside of her? Blinking, she
snapped her gaze to his face. Where did that thought come from? She must be
more sexually frustrated than she realised.
    If
it embarrassed him, it didn’t show in his expression. Instead he viewed her
with disinterest. Would she be safe with him?
    “Come,”
he said again.
    Shrugging,
she nodded. What the hell? Hopefully he would lead her to safety. He couldn’t
be any more dangerous than the night creatures and she couldn’t stay alone in
the jungle. She’d probably die of fright.
    The
man turned and her eyes widened as his buttocks came into view. They looked as
hard as rock, shining and taut. And hairless. Georgina frowned. In fact, all of
him had been hairless. Her chest tightened and she fought the urge to grab at
them.
    Still
clutching her stick, she followed him as he pushed through the wilderness.
Scurrying to keep up with him, he showed no sign of caring if she followed or
not and she had to duck several branches as they pinged back into her face.
    “Excuse…”
She coughed. “Excuse me, Mr…um…”
    He
paused and glared at her.
    “Um…where
are we going? It’s just that I need to get to the hotel.” He stared at her
incredulously. “You know the place where people stay. It’s big and has a
swimming pool and…and people sleep there. For a holiday.”
    “Yes.
Holiday. I take you home.” He motioned with his spear.
    “Yes,
home. But I think my home is in the other direction.”
    “No.”
    “I
think it might be,” she said quietly.
    “No.
I take you home. Hotel tomorrow.”
    “Oh.
That is really very kind of you, but my fiancé will be worried you see…” she
trailed off as his expression darkened.
    “You
have man?”
    “Yes,
I have man.”
    “Not
