He could hear her heart racing and her breath hitching, and he hoped it was desire and not fear. Her scent indicated the former, but women often confused the two, which wasn't necessarily a bad thing, and a little fear could enhance their pleasure, but this wasn't a normal situation.
Marina knew that he wasn't human, and she’d had a bad experience with powerful aliens. He didn't want her to think that he was like them or that she would have to do anything she wasn't a hundred percent into.
"I want you, too," he murmured into her hair. "I ache for you. But I want you to know that with one word from you, everything stops. No matter how desperate I am for you, I'm never too far gone to stop. You have nothing to fear from me."
"I don't fear you." She leaned away and frowned. "Your eyes are glowing."
"That's what happens when immortals get excited."
A smile bloomed on her face. "I'm glad that I excite you." She brushed her lips across his and threaded her fingers in his hair.
He took it as a silent invitation, and as his tongue parted her lips, capturing her tongue, she moaned softly against his mouth.
Still kissing her, he carried her to his bedroom and held her up with one hand under her soft bottom so he could gently close the door behind them with the other.
If Jay hadn't woken up while they were in the living room, he didn't want him to be woken by the sound of the door slamming.
"I planned on bathing you and pampering you with a foot massage, but since you've showered already, I'll give you a rain check for the next time." He laid her gently on the bed.
Marina lifted on her forearms and looked at him. "You assume that there will be a next time."
He smirked. "I don't assume. I know." He crawled over her and straddled her legs. "You'll want more of what I will give you tonight."
"So confident," she murmured as he tugged her leggings down. "I need you to promise me something, though."
He paused. "What is it?"
"I want to remember everything precisely as it happened. Promise that you won't thrall me to remember delights that didn't happen."
"You offend me, Marina." He put his hand over his chest. "Do you think I would resort to cheap tricks like that?"
"I don't, but I want to hear you promise that."
"I vow to the Fates that I will not alter your memory of this night or any others that follow. But if the boss decides to erase the memories of this cruise from the minds of all the humans on board, there isn't much I can do about it."
She nodded. "That's good enough for me."

MARINA
As Peter started to slowly undress Marina, her insecurities flared. Her breasts were too small, her hips were too big, and she had cellulite. But he looked at her with so much hunger in his eyes that the pressure in her chest eased.
"Beautiful," he murmured as he lowered himself on top of her and kissed her.
She wanted to argue and tell him that he shouldn't lie to her, that she knew she was pretty but far from spectacular, but he didn't let go of her mouth, kissing her with so much passion that all she could do was moan and undulate her hips under him.
He still had his pants on, but they were made from thin nylon, and he wasn't wearing underwear, so she could feel the thick, hard bulge of his erection almost as if he was naked, and if she lifted her hips and moved them just right, she could get the friction she needed.
When he finally let her come up for air, she was too dazed to remember that she'd wanted to argue with his appraisal of her, and then he was sliding down her body, and she didn't need a working brain to know what his intentions were.
No one had pleasured her that way in ages, and Marina was surprised that she was allowing a stranger to perform such an intimate act.
"Beautiful," he murmured again as he spread her thighs to make room for his broad shoulders.
Was that the only word he could think of when he was with her? Or was it something he said to all the women he took to his bed?
Jealousy flared in her chest, but as his finger slid into her wet entrance and then another, filling her deliciously, she forgot what made her feel jealous and surrendered to the pleasure.
