Chapter Eleven

Dustin pushed through the water as though it wasn’t there. I hung on to him limpet-style, and began to breathe again as the cold subsided from my ass and I saw the waves grow smaller.

But when we were out of the water completely, I became aware of how inappropriate it was that I was literally wrapped around his body and suctioned onto him worse than any octopus could.

He stopped with his hand still on my ass. “Is that better?”

“Yes, thanks.” I swallowed. Being pressed against him was not good for that once-only plan we had. His wet flesh was like rain-soaked concrete. His shoulders glistened, the seawater like morning dew. It didn’t help that I was only wearing a small bikini and that there was only the thinnest bit of fabric between my pussy and his stomach.

“You gonna let me go now?” he asked, one side of his mouth lifting in a smile. “Or are you planning on staying like this all day?”

“No, of course not.” I unhooked my ankles and slid down him.

But I didn’t step away or unlock my arms from around his neck. I couldn’t, he was holding me tight and up close against him.

His smile dropped. He shook his head a little. “I wouldn’t have let anything hurt you.”

“I know that.”

“Do you?” He frowned.

“Yes, you chased down that mugger yesterday.”

He nodded. “I guess I did.” He slid his hands up my back, cupped my cheeks and threaded his fingers into the hair around my ears.

I stared at the scar on his lip. Wondered what he was going to do next. Wondered what I was going to do next. Neither of us could do what I wanted to happen. That was against our rules. We’d set them out clearly enough the evening before. We’d got each other out of our system. That box was ticked.

“I wish you’d told me,” he said with a frown.

“About what?”

“About the financial problems the Vipers have and that was my contract issue, not that you hated my guts.”

“I don’t hate your guts.” I paused. “But what would it have changed if you’d known about the team’s money, or lack of money?”

He swallowed, his nostrils flared and then he lowered his head. “In New York, outside your hotel room.” He licked his lips, breathed out. “I would have understood, and when I just couldn’t fucking stop myself from kissing you, it would have been like this.”

He closed his eyes and touched his mouth to mine, holding my head secure as he gently, slowly, eased the tip of his tongue between my lips, sought my tongue and set up a sultry dance.

I released his neck, curled my hands around his forearms and felt as if I was floating. The stroke of his tongue was dreamy, the movement of his mouth was making my knees weak. I would never have thought a guy built like an ogre could kiss with such tenderness, such delicate attention to every tiny whispering touch of his lips.

When he eventually pulled back, I gasped for breath.
