CHAPTER SEVEN

‘SO—DO YOU have anything particular you’d like to do today?’

Leaning across the table to spear a piece of pineapple from a huge platter of fresh fruit, Malachi smiled at Addie. She held her breath. He was wearing a pair of dark blue swim shorts, and his long, muscular legs were sprawled out temptingly towards her. With his face tipped up to the sun and his dark hair falling loosely across his forehead, he looked impossibly glamorous, and intensely male, his lush beauty easily rivalling the tropical perfection surrounding them.

His eyes bumped into hers and he held her gaze so that she shifted restlessly in her chair. Her heart gave a twitch as he leaned forward, and for a moment she thought he was about to kiss her, but instead he picked up the coffeepot and topped up their cups.

‘Actually, I do have something in mind. I just need to make a couple of calls.’

Picking up her cup, Addie wished that it was her hands and not the sunlight caressing his smooth golden skin. That she could reach over and loop her arm around his neck, press her hot, hopelessly overexcited body against his—

But wishing was all she was likely to do.

Skin prickling, she sipped her coffee. Yesterday she had felt so unhappy, so diminished by the way he was treating her. Only then they’d argued, and he’d pushed aside his obvious desire to comfort her, and his tenderness had shifted something inside her, opened her up to him. But now Malachi seemed to be on some kind of mission to prove that sex was the last thing on his mind. Oh, he kissed her, and curled his arm around her waist, but whenever she leaned into him, hoping, longing, wanting more, he merely let his hands drift over her back or arms.

Breathing out, she sat up straighter and forced herself to smile, hoping that her face appeared more composed than her body felt. ‘Great. That sounds great.’

He stared at her thoughtfully. ‘I haven’t told you what it is yet.’

Her fingers spasmed involuntarily against the cup.

‘I know,’ she said quickly. ‘But I’m sure it’ll be great—whatever it is.’

Leaning forward, he grinned at her—a long, slow, curling smile that made her heart flutter in her chest and her breasts ache.

‘How very trusting of you. Then I think I’ll keep it as a surprise!’

An hour later she was regretting that trust as they skimmed across the water in the speedboat towards—who knew where?

‘Can you please give me a clue?’ Turning round, Addie gazed up in frustration at Malachi.

Grinning, he shook his head, his arm curving around her waist. ‘I don’t want to spoil the surprise,’ he murmured, squeezing her hand.

She glanced up at him, her blue eyes wide and wary.

He laughed. ‘Trust me, sweetheart. I know what you like and you’re going to love this.’

His fingers lightly caressed her belly through the thin fabric of her dress, and eyes half closed, she feverishly imagined what she liked doing with Malachi, her skin
