Chapter Twelve

Grayson did not move. His hands hovered near her wrists, where he’d dropped the wet fabric of her gown and let it fall to the floor. Jacquetta could practically feel his mind working, his instincts warring with reason. She’d nearly drowned. She had suffered something traumatic—again. They were here, half-clothed, desperate for each other. Again.

Jacquetta needed him to know that she was not a wilting wallflower. She may be shivering, but by now it was as much with pent-up desire as with chill. Well, a significant amount of it was the chill, she admitted to herself. But she could think of precisely how she would like to be warmed up.

She caught one of his hands in hers and held it as she slowly rotated on the spot. She did not have to glance down to know that her wet chemise was completely transparent and clinging to every curve of her body. She could feel her taut nipples rubbing against the fabric, sensitive and burning for his touch.

He was wet too, she remembered. They were both dripping on the expensive rug as if it was nothing. In truth, it was completely inconsequential compared to what was about to happen between them.

“You ought to undress as well. We cannot have the captain of the ship taking a chill,” Jacquetta said softly, letting her eyes travel over him.

He already favored close-cut clothing, but with the linen shirt clinging to the hard panes of his body… her mouth started to water. The heat that surged between her legs was a sudden and intense contrast to the chill pebbling over her skin.

She could see Grayson still holding himself in check. Despite the cold, his cock was pushing against the constraints of his trousers. His nipples were tight pinpricks against his wet linen shirt. Though she held his hand, he did not grip hers back or stroke her with the reverence he had that last night they were alone in the cabin, in nearly this very spot.

But it was there in his eyes.

Jacquetta had worried his desire for her had faded?

Foolish. Laughable. The dark burning in his eyes told her everything she needed in that moment. Now she only had to get him to give in, for both of their sakes.

With deliberate care, she used her unencumbered hand to slide the chemise off her shoulder and down her arm. A small tug, and her breast popped free of the wet fabric; her tight pink nipple jutted out proudly. Grayson’s other hand fisted tightly at his side.

Jacquetta shook her head, huffing out a small laugh.

“You do not need to fight it,” she said. She gave him what she hoped was a meaningful stare, then flicked her eyes downward to their joined hands.

She watched her own movements, hoping he was similarly transfixed, as she lifted their hands to her breast and curved his hand around it. The contrast of his tanned skin against the pale globe was striking. Summoning up all the boldness and desire within her, she guided his index finger and thumb to her nipple.
