her mouth tasted as if an army had marched through it. The most delightful chuckle met her frown as she lowered her hand.
“Go brush your teeth.” He popped her on the ass and she yipped. “I thought breakfast on the balcony would be nice.” While he stepped back into the bedroom to retrieve the tray, she remained behind to enjoy the gorgeous panorama.
Dammit. She had missed the sunrise as it kissed the horizon. No place on earth compared to Hawaii’s beautiful sunrises and sunsets. In the nearby fronds of a palm tree she heard the sweet melody of a native songbird. It seemed to keep time with the waves below.
She sighed. “There’s something magical about this place.”
“There’s something magical about you.”
She pivoted to see him watching her. There was no denying the love that reflected back at her, which set off butterfly wings in her belly.
“Do you have any idea how beautiful you are naked with the ocean and blue skies as your backdrop?”
Goose bumps rose across her arms and legs. What did a girl say to words as lovely as his? “It would be an even better picture if you were naked beside me.”
Deep, sexy laughter spilled from his lips. “You just want me to fuck you again.”
She cocked her head to one side. “The thought did cross my mind.” Her nipples beaded, the small change not going unnoticed as his gaze darkened.
His chin lowered. He curled an index finger, beckoning her to him.
Playing hard to get never entered her mind. No hesitation existed in her footsteps as she closed the distance between them and walked into his opened arms. She rubbed against him teasingly.
“Did I ever tell you how sensual your hard nipples feel against my chest?” he whispered close to her ear.
“No.” She slid her body along his once more.
Oh yeah. That did feel good—real good. Her peaks tightened, breasts heavy with desire.
His hand smoothed down to rest in the small of her back, and a finger slid between the crest of her cheeks. He moved lower and a shiver raced up her spine. She liked where this was going, but first things first.
A step backwards and she pulled from his arms. “Be right back.”
She dashed into the bathroom. It took only a couple of minutes for her to freshen up. She ran her tongue across the front of her teeth, tasting the minty flavor, before she walked back to the bedroom.
To her surprise and pleasure Nathan was stark-ass naked and sprawled across the bed. His hands rested behind his head, legs slightly parted. His impressive cock arched, hard and erect, toward his bellybutton. The picture of him lying there in wait could be featured in a centerfold, he looked so damn delicious. Five years had honed his body. Every line was defined, power and strength in each muscle.
“I thought maybe breakfast could wait.” His smoky voice was all she needed to ignite the flame inside.
With each step that familiar drawing sensation splintered at her nipples and stung unmercifully. Moisture dampened her thighs. Adding to the excitement were the open glass doors. The voyeur aspect came in to play, making her desire heighten and her body burn. Just the thought of someone watching was exhilarating. One knee rested on the bed as she looked into his dreamy eyes, and then she paused.
What the hell was she doing? One more day with Nathan and she would sell her soul to be with him forever.
“Don’t pull away from me.”
She closed her eyes for a moment to gather her composure. “I’m scared,” she admitted without shame. Truth was she couldn’t let go of her independence. Five years ago she had had stars in her eyes. Today she was older, wiser. She couldn’t just throw her life away, even for Nathan.
“I’m scared too, baby.” He approached.
An outstretched hand kept him at bay. “Please don’t.” If he touched her she would lose control. She had never been able to resist his caress. “Why can’t you and Cami come live with me? I’m sure your parents would
