“I can’t say.” I’d already said too much.
“If he has, it’s thanks to you, Hayley. He’s like another person with you around.”
“He sure is,” Phoenix added. “Have you set a date for the wedding yet?”
I shook my head. “We need to find a venue first, I think. Some have to be booked years in advance…”
“Well, I hope it won’t be that long.” Her mouth crinkled into a smile, and she rubbed her palms down her shorts. “It’s kinda warm in here. Let’s go out onto the decking and watch what’s going on.”
We did as she suggested. Pierce, Joe, Zach, and Rhys were in one high powered speedboat. Jake, Liam, Ethan, and Violet in the other. They took it in turns to be pulled into the air. I remembered Axel was scared of heights and proposed he try waterskiing instead.
“Yeah. Could do.” He shrugged. “But what I’d really like is to scuba dive. So I’ve booked a session this afternoon with an instructor.”
“This place is amazing,” Phoenix sighed. “We can do anything we want. All we have to do is ask.” She cupped her hands around her pregnant belly. “But I won’t be doing anything too energetic.” She winked at Axel. “Except maybe in bed…”
I snickered at her candor and gazed out across the reef toward the small uninhabited islands on the distant horizon. Pierce and I would also get energetic in our bed, later, I had no doubt. Would he finally be able to penetrate me fully? I hoped so with all of my heart.We ate lunch in the dining room with the others—freshly caught fish, grilled on a barbeque—then spent the afternoon chilling in the hammocks on our veranda. A sea breeze stirred the fronds of the palm trees and cooled our heated bodies. Pierce fell asleep while I devoured a steamy romance on my e-book reader. I glanced over at him, aching to climb into his hammock and press myself against him. But I resisted the urge...he was letting himself relax at last.
He woke after a good hour’s rest. We decided to go for a stroll along the edge of the shore and got back to our cottage just as the setting sun was pinking the sky. We’d opted to have dinner here the two of us. Axel and Phoenix, Violet and Ethan were doing likewise, leaving the single dudes to get hammered and play video games in the lodge.
Pierce and I took our seats at the table on the porch as a smiling server arrived with a seafood salad and more tropical fruit. All through the meal I was acutely aware of my rock god, of his wavy hair slicked back from his handsome face, of his deep blue eyes burning into me, and of the gorgeous tats on his powerful shoulders. He peeled a mango and offered me a slice. I sucked it off his fingers, the sweetness dribbling down my chin.
He leaned across and licked my mouth, licked the juices from my face. “You taste wonderful,” he groaned. He brought his mouth down on mine. Our kiss was gentle at first, filled with all the love we felt for each other. Then, with a growl, he kissed me dirty…biting, sucking, his tongue chasing mine.
My heart pounded against my ribs and a heavy wetness spread between my thighs. “Please…” I rasped.
“Please, what?” He cocked a smirk.
“Please, make love to me…”
Without a word, he got to his feet, came around to my side of the table, and lifted me in his arms. We weren’t wearing many clothes…I just wore cut-off shorts and a bikini top. He was bare chested and had gone commando under his shorts…I saw when he pulled them off. He spread me on the bed and didn’t take long to get me naked.
“You’re so beautiful, baby.” He crawled up my body and kissed my lips, moved his mouth to my breasts and sucked on a nipple, applying pressure with his teeth and tongue. He teased, sucked, and bit first one then the other, at the same time sliding his hand downward to trace my seam. Still paying attention to my breasts with his mouth, he dipped his fingers into my wetness and spread it to circle my clit in electrifying swirls. Breathing heavily, he kissed his way down my stomach to arrive at my pussy.
“Please,” I whimpered, my fingers running through his long dark tresses as he licked my folds.
He reached for the condom on the nightstand, and I shook my head. He pulled back and captured me with his gaze. “I thought you wanted me inside you?” He rubbed his thumb along my jawline. “Tell me if you don’t want it.”
I stared at the condom. “I…I thought as we both want kids, and we’re getting married soon, it wouldn’t matter if I got pregnant.” My eyes drifted back to his, and my heart soared when I caught the warmth in his expression.
