Alex woke to the soft sounds of wavelets lapping against the hull of the dory. Gray and white terns glided in an effortless ballet across a cloudless blue sky above her, calling to one another. She stirred, slowly stretching her legs, then her arms.

She was a little stiff from having slept outside but not at all cold. Phillip’s body had shaped itself around hers, warming her through the night, as if protecting her not only from the elements but from all possible harm. Even now one muscled arm curled around her waist.

She gently lifted his arm away so that she could sit up and gaze across the azure water of the cove where they’d anchored for the night. Drawing a deep breath, she closed her eyes and savored the salty air, the gentle rocking motion of the boat, the feeling that she’d left everything behind her that could ever again make her unhappy.

Incredible.

“Where’s breakfast?” a deep voice rumbled up at her from the bottom of the boat.

“Don’t you remember? We ate the last of our provisions for supper.”

Food was the last thing on her mind at the moment.

“I remember nothing of last night,” Phillip grumbled, dropping one arm across his eyes to shield them from the brilliant morning sun. He was teasing her, and she loved it.

“Nothing?” she cooed, trailing a fingertip down the center of his chest. She circled one masculine nipple through the rich jungle of hairs.

He grabbed her hand and pulled her down on top of him. “Something is coming back to me.” His amber eyes glowed in the morning light. “How about refreshing my memory?”

Smiling, she bent down and kissed him on the mouth. Once, twice, then a third time, longer, deeper. She decided she enjoyed his morning flavors as well as she had his nighttime ones.

His hands moved over her body, beneath the loose cotton dress she’d pulled back on for sleeping, as she’d felt nervous about sleeping in the nude. However unlikely, someone might have come by in another boat. Phillip played with her breasts, licked her nipples, and in no time at all she was eager for him again.

Then, just as quickly he stopped and knelt above her.

“What’s wrong?” she gasped.

“Nearly forgot.” He rolled his eyes in exaggerated dismay. “Woman, we have to get ashore and buy some protection. I want to come inside of you so badly I don’t know how much longer I can take it.”

She laughed, delighted, although she too ached for him. He was capable of bringing her so high, so fast, it amazed her. Their eyes met with sudden understanding. She smiled and nodded. Phillip reached for her and pulled her back into his arms.

“Touch me,” he whispered in her ear. “Touch me the way you did last night, Alex, and I’ll make sure you don’t start your day restless.”

She giggled, feeling deliciously wicked. “Deal.”

Her fingers reached down to him, as he moved his wide, gloriously warm palm between her thighs. Moments later, Phillip’s sensitive touch dredged up from within her a delicious rush of heat and she returned the favor.
