DELILAH

Once we reach Kingsley’s beach house, Austin scoops me out of the SUV and tucks me against his chest. I would be lying if I didn’t admit how comforting it is to be pressed against all that chiseled strength. I don’t care if he stripped me practically bare in front of everyone before pulling me against the warmth of his nearly naked body.

For the first time in a week, everything felt right in the world. Considering that I almost drowned, that’s really saying something. I don’t want to relinquish the closeness we’ve found. I’m terrified that once we step inside Kingsley’s beach house, it’ll vanish into thin air, and he’ll be back to staring at me with eyes full of distrust.

As he strides from the driveway to the mansion with me tucked safely in his arms, I force myself to say, “You can put me down now. I’m more than capable of walking by myself.”

He doesn’t respond as we reach the stairs to the front porch and move into the entryway. There’s no hesitation in his step as he swings to the left and carries me up the staircase. It’s only when we reach the bedroom that he carefully lowers me to the floor.

Our gazes lock and hold as I slide down his practically naked body. Once my feet touch the plush carpet, he straightens, and the blanket wrapped around my shoulders slips and puddles at my feet. The cool air of the room licks over my bare flesh and my teeth once again begin to chatter. Now that I don’t have Austin’s body heat to warm me, I’m freezing.

I blink when he swings away, leaving me to shiver in the middle of the room, arms wrapped around myself, as he walks into the attached bathroom. From where I stand, I watch as he leans over the massive clawfoot tub and turns on the faucet. The sound of running water fills the space.

He fiddles with the handles, testing the temperature before straightening and swinging back around. His eyes never relinquish mine as he returns to the bedroom before gripping the elastic band of his boxers and shoving them down his thick thighs until the material lands at his feet.

Even though I tell myself to keep my eyes locked on his, the urge to take in his magnificent body is too much to resist. All those sinewy muscles on display weaken my knees and make me go a little stupid.

My gaze drops to his chest, slowly licking over his pectorals before drifting down six-pack abdominals to the chiseled V that arrows to the part of him that now stands thick and erect. My mouth turns cottony as need blooms in my core. The fact that he licked me to orgasm less than twelve hours ago has done absolutely nothing to dampen the arousal that now rushes through my veins.

It doesn’t matter if I’ve just lived through a traumatic experience and am physically drained.

I want him.

And I can’t imagine a time when that won’t be true.
