She knew what he was about to do and while it seemed like she should be freaking out, she was more breathless with anticipation than anything else.
He was going to kiss her.
And she wanted him to. She ached to feel his touch on her, the brush of their mouths together.
The moment lingered on and on and her nipples tightened and her lips drifted apart.
He was waiting for her to pull away. He was giving her a chance to either say no, push him away, or just shift away from him.
She didn’t want any of the above.
She wanted him to kiss her.
So she found herself leaning ever so slightly into him.
His hand went onto her shoulder. He drew her closer.
“Should I repeat it?” he asked again, his beard tickling her cheek, his lips brushing over her ear as he spoke.
She felt the rumble and vibration of his voice and goosebumps rose along her shoulders and arms and she shivered.
“Yes.”
Time seemed to stand still as Liam’s hand rose from her shoulder to cup her cheek, his thumb brushing along her cheekbone. “I said I want to kiss you.”
Then his mouth was on hers and Lilly forgot to breathe. It was a gentle kiss, but commanding. Earnest, but demanding. It caught her entirely off guard and swept her away on a current of passion.
She put her arms around his neck and kissed him back.
He felt strong and protective, and like he could give her the pleasure she hadn’t even known she was missing. It brought to the surface a passion with a swiftness and certainty that it took her breath away.
Liam pulled back, sooner than she would have preferred, but when he did, she remembered they weren’t alone. There were other people on the tour, including an older woman who was giving them a glare of disapproval.
Lilly didn’t care. She blinked up at Liam and let her hands drift down to his broad shoulders. “I heard that loud and clear,” she whispered.
“I know I said I wasn’t going to do that,” he said. “But you looked so beautiful I couldn’t help myself. Do you want me to apologize?”
“Do you want to apologize?” If he was sorry for breaking their rules for fake dating, that was one thing. She definitely didn’t want him to be sorry he had kissed it.
“No. I want to kiss you again.”
She shivered again and couldn’t prevent a smile from dancing across her lips. “I want you to kiss me again. How long is this tour?”
“Too long,” he said. “Should we swim back to shore? What is that, twenty feet, max?”
That made her laugh. “I think we can wait ten minutes.”
“Speak for yourself.”
Liam wasn’tsure he could wait five seconds, but he was going to have to. Lilly had tasted like sweet perfection. He hadn’t been sure what her reaction was going to be, but she had opened for him on a sexy sigh that had his whole body tense with desire. He wanted to flick the strap of her sundress down over her shoulder and trace the path with his tongue, causing more goosebumps to appear on her soft skin.
He wanted to ease the other strap down and take the dress past her breasts, down her stomach, and over her hips so that he could see all of her.
Instead, he was stuck on a boat.
That was on him.
What the fuck had he been thinking?
