It took all Drew’s strength to pull his drenched skin away from Felicity’s warmth. The full moon peered from its vantage point high in the sky, shone through the porthole, revealing it was well after midnight. Drew hadn’t left the cabin since walking in to deliver the news that he was sure would drive Felicity away from him forever. As usual, she had surprised him.

He moved a tangle of her hair to kiss her pale, moon-bathed shoulder. Her dress remained twisted around her waist. He suddenly realized he still wore his boots, and his breeches were shoved below his knees. Next time, he’d undress her and kiss every inch of her, including the sweet fruit hidden by those lush nether curls that matched the ones gripped in his fist. He wondered if she’d balk at the idea. He nuzzled her ear with a grin. Probably not. Her passion matched his own.

He eased off the bed and straightened his breeches. After he rummaged in the wardrobe on the far wall for a clean shirt, he paused to gawk at Felicity. She burrowed deeper into the soft bed. After a second round of lovemaking, she was undoubtedly exhausted. She probably wouldn’t awaken till noon.

A quick stab of sensation brought back the moment he’d first pushed into her tight body, and it had him aroused all over again. He closed his eyes and pictured the second time, the way they had laid on their sides, face to face. Still slick with sweat, they’d started exploring each other. Not passionate at first, just testing the new boundaries of their intimacy. Drew touched the tip of her nose, the fleshy part of her earlobe, and then grazed the swell on the underside of her breast. In return, she’d traced his lips with her fingertip, then, coaxed by his tongue, stuck her finger into his mouth. He’d sucked the digit until she threw her leg over his hip and let him slide into her, each of them grasping and rocking, wrenching all the ecstasy they could from each other.

He shook his head to clear the vision. He had prisoners in the hold, he reminded himself sternly. Prisoners who knew who he was. His father had not only betrayed him but also assumed he was a cold-blooded murderer. Ben was in jail. Drew stopped his hasty lacing of his shirt. Ben would not be pleased with Drew’s behavior this evening. That damn guilt started tightening his chest again.

He bent over to tuck his breeches into his boots. Blood finally rushed to his head, the smart one. The ramifications of what he’d just done pushed themselves through the satisfied haze of quenched lust. He glanced at Felicity, making sure she hadn’t disappeared. She looked like a cat who’d just gotten cream for the first time. Even in her sleep she grinned.

Her happiness did little to ease a swift stab of regret, though. Surely, she wasn’t in love with him. She had hated him up until... He wasn’t exactly sure when their relationship shifted—but it had.
