CHAPTER NINE

SHE would have laughed. She wanted to laugh, to dispel the tension that had suddenly weighted down the air until it was heavy and thick with anticipation. But the look in his eyes told her it was no accident.

‘All night,’ he whispered, his eyes on her mouth, his other hand joining the first behind her neck. ‘All that time we were sitting here, this is really what I wanted to taste.’

He dipped his head, his mouth brushing hers, his tongue flicking over her lips. ‘Mmm, salt,’ he said, licking her taste from his lips.

‘I was swimming,’ she said. ‘At the beach.’

‘I like it,’ he said, already making another pass. ‘And coffee, and something sweet.’

His kisses grew deeper, his lips coaxing hers apart, his tongue tasting her, exploring, inviting her into the dance.

The breeze whispered through the leaves, a bird called out its final goodnight and the moon hung low and turned the sea into a silver ribbon. But none of it mattered. Not now, not with his lips upon hers, his taste in her mouth and the feel of his hard body pressed up against her.

He was unrelenting; his kisses intensified. He ravaged her mouth, plundered its depths with his tongue and tipped her head back so he could turn his hot mouth to her throat until she was gasping with the heat, the pleasure and the need.

And when he took one breast in one hand her knees went weak.

‘Make love to me,’ he said as he nuzzled her ear. A wave of pleasure rolled through her, so intense and so huge that she thought it might carry her away. Instead it passed, leaving her skin alive and tingling and with a heavy pooling heat between her thighs.

‘We barely know each other,’ she whispered, amazed and impressed that with a body screaming ‘yes’ she’d managed to find at least some kind of defence. Not that she’d actually said no.

She didn’t do casual sex; she didn’t do one-night stands. She didn’t need any man. And yet ‘we barely know each other’ was the best she could do?

‘We know that we want each other.’

Unfair! Then she gasped, her protest forgotten as his thumb stroked a nipple, sending arrows of exquisite pleasure straight to her core. ‘You want me.’ It was true, but surely that wasn’t the only point?

‘I can’t,’ she said, shaking her head, finding him harder to shake. ‘This is crazy. Jake and Monica…’

‘Are in Hawaii.’ His lips found hers again. Coaxing. Persuading.

She pulled away. ‘But I’m supposed to be here planning their wedding.’

His hand kept her head close to his mouth even while she voiced her argument, returning to her lips as soon as she’d uttered her words. ‘And meanwhile,’ he asked, ‘you should live like a nun?’

‘But it doesn’t mean anything.’

‘It means we want each other.’

‘I don’t do this sort of thing.’

‘Have you ever wanted to before?’

She shook her head, her teeth troubling lips already exquisitely sensitised as he took her head between his hands and looked at her.
