Chapter Seven

Inside the hotel, they went straight to the elevator, and once the doors cocooned them inside the small, private space, Lex used the opportunity to pull her back into his arms and kiss her.

The contact, though brief, was enough to overwhelm her all over again, and she was barely aware of her surroundings when they left the elevator and walked down the quiet hallway to his room.

The nicely furnished space was a replica of hers, but unlike her, he’d left the drapes pulled back on the glass doors leading out to the balcony. Beyond, stars were hanging over the gulf waters, sparkling the beach with diamonds.

With the door shut behind them, Lex took her by the hand and led her over to the sliding glass doors. “Let’s step out on the balcony,” he said softly, “where I can look at you in the starlight.”

They stepped outside on the small balcony enclosed by black wrought iron. From this height, the wind seemed even stronger, and it whipped Christina’s hair across her face as she gazed out at the rolling surf.

“It’s beautiful,” she said wistfully. He was standing directly behind her, and the bare skin on her shoulders was sizzling where his fingers rested. “And I’m glad we’re here. Even though the reason for the trip isn’t a pleasant one.”

Turning her toward him, he cradled her face with his palms and lowered his lips toward hers. The idea that they were well and truly alone and about to make love made her whole body ache with anticipation.

“This trip was meant to happen, my sweet. Just like a lot of other things.”

They kissed for long moments, until the connection was no longer enough to satisfy their needs, and Lex led her gently back inside and over to the king-size bed.

With nothing but the starlight filtering through the glass doors, he found the zipper at the back of her dress and slowly pulled it downward. Christina closed her eyes and bit down on her bottom lip as his hands followed the garment down her curves, then onto the floor.

Shivering, she carefully stepped out of the pool of fabric, and he tossed it toward the armchair sitting in the corner of the room.

“Are you cold?” he whispered, with concern.

Daring to meet his gaze, she felt her heart squeeze with inexplicable pain. “No. I—I’m just not sure I—we—should be doing this. That I should be…wanting you this much.”

Smiling, he rested his forehead against hers. “Hang on, baby. If this is a mistake, we’ll be making it together.”

This couldn’t be a mistake, Christina thought moments later, as Lex gently peeled away her undergarments and lifted her onto the massive bed. Even without the touch of his hands, she was on fire for him, mindlessly needing to feel his skin, his body against her.

She waited patiently for him to shed his boots and clothing,
