Chapter Eight

Ashley went up on her toes and put her mouth to his with such sweet purpose that Mac exploded in so many tiny, bright lights the astronomers would forever wonder what in the hell happened over the Rivers estate.

He kissed her back for all he was worth, gathering her in his arms to help buffer her from the storm of his own need, halfway afraid of what he might be unleashing on her. They kissed deep and hard, like they had after she’d knocked him down into the gully, but this time the knowledge of what would come next made the contact that much hotter. Like before, the need to cover her with his body hit him with the force of a rogue wave off Oahu’s north shore.

He pulled his lips from hers and bent to scoop her off her feet.

She made a funny noise, a sort of whispered squawk.

He teased, “What? Now that we’re doing something naughty, you think you have to be quiet?”

“I would rather not wake up Grandmother, Donavon, or Marie,” she whispered.

“Yeah. And bouncing a basketball is so much quieter. Trust me, if no one has come to see what’s going on down here by now, no one’s coming.” He turned and carried her to the break in the hedge.

“You’re not seriously going to carry me into the house and up the stairs, are you?”

“Of course I am. I wouldn’t miss this chance to show off what a manly man I am for you.” He grinned to ease the worry that lingered deep in her eyes and in the lines on either side of her pretty mouth. “Me Mac. You Ash Bash.”

It worked. She smiled and relaxed her head against his shoulder. “I can think of much better ways to show off your manliness, Mac,” she purred and ran a hand up the back of his neck into his hair. He shuddered in pleasure. “And actually, I think that chaise lounge right there would be the perfect place to do it.”

He stopped, looking from the lounge chair with its overstuffed pad to her, unable to hide his surprise. He’d figured her for the lights out, only under the covers sort. Though after what he’d learned about her tonight, he needed to reevaluate all of his presumptions about Miss Ashley Rivers.

Deep down he feared this new Ashley would be harder to resist, harder to walk away from. He pushed the thought aside. That was the last thing he wanted to think about right now.

She shrugged and linked her hands on the side of his neck to pull herself up far enough in his arms to nuzzle his ear. “Hey, if I’m finally going to start living, I might as well give it a good start,” she whispered. “I’ve often lain here by the pool, imagining opening my arms to a gorgeous hunk of a man illuminated by starlight from above, candlelight from below…”

He chuckled. “Look out, world, the rich girl’s going wild.”

“With her very own Wild Man,” she murmured in his ear, then touched her hot little tongue to the outer whorl.
