Ryan gazed at her with a stunned expression.

What the hell had just happened?

Nicole looked as surprised as he was. For a moment neither of them could speak. The overriding sound, apart from their panting, was the lapping waves, wetly smacking against the shore. It broke the surreal atmosphere and provided a sense of normality to the situation.

“I...I think I’ll go inside now,” Nicole stammered, pointing towards the house. Housekeeping had obviously been in to turn the beds down as the lights were on inside the chalet, twinkling invitingly.

Ryan nodded, unable to find words to explain what had happened between them. He watched her walk away, a little unsteadily. But that was nothing compared to how he was feeling. With shaky legs he sank down onto the sand.

The urge to kiss her perfect lips had persuaded him to cross the line and break their most important ground rule. The pretence stops when they’re alone, isn’t that what they said? Except after tonight, holding her hand and stroking her thigh, and basically acting like they were a couple, it had seemed so natural to kiss her.

What he hadn’t expected was to enjoy it so much. Her response had knocked his socks off. She’d tasted so sweet and smelled so good, he’d craved more and more of her until she’d completely overwhelmed him.

Even now, sitting in a shaky heap on the beach, he still wanted to go into the house and do it again. And more....

Christ. What was happening to him? He couldn’t remember when last a woman had had this kind of effect on him.

The breeze cooled his overheated skin but not his desire. Right now Nicole was probably undressing, getting ready for bed. Ryan pictured her peeling off her slinky black dress....

He got to his feet.

“Can I come in?” he called awkwardly from outside the sliding doors. They were open about half a metre, but the heavy hotel curtains were closed.

“Sure, I’m decent,” came the reply.

Ryan stepped into the room.

“Hi....” he said, unnecessarily.

“Hi....” she replied.

Nicole was sitting on the bed, still in her dress. Her face was flushed and her eyes searched his uncertainly.

He gestured behind him, back to the beach. “About what happened out there....”

Nicole shook her head. “It’s okay. You don’t have to say it.”

“Say what?” Ryan blinked, thrown by her interjection.

“That it was a mistake. That we should never have... you know, kissed....” Her voice faded off and she looked down at the bed.

“How did you know I was going to say that?”

Nicole glanced up. “Weren’t you?”

Ryan hesitated. Actually he wasn’t going to say that at all. Quite the opposite, but then his body was still tingling from the taste of her.

Perhaps he should rethink this. God knows, he wanted to carry on where they’d left off on the beach. He still had a massive hard-on and the memory of the passion that had consumed them was addictive. His body was crying out for more.

Nicole waited for his reply, her tilting blue eyes wide with anticipation.

“Actually I don’t know what I was going to say,” he lied.
