Courtney laughed as Seth dragged her onto the dance floor and pulled her close. She couldn’t remember the last time she’d laughed or smiled so much. After Seth’s littleyou could go with mebomb on the beach, she’d wondered if things would be awkward between them. But no. Seth had acted like he hadn’t dropped a giant, potential grenade in the middle of their budding and easygoing relationship. Instead, he’d continued teasing and touching like he had all day. Eventually, they’d fallen back into their easy but also sexually charged, rhythm. And speaking of rhythm—Seth had plenty of it. As he pulled her closer, he moved his hips against hers in a slow, sensual movement and slid his hands down her back to grip her hips. She couldn’t help but think of the way he’d gripped her hips the night before . . . and this morning. Biting her lip to keep a moan from escaping, she wondered if it was too early to ask if he wanted to head to her cabin. Although, come to think of it, there was probably never a time that was too early to start a night of debauchery.
“Don’t do that,” he growled against her ear.
“What?” Had he been reading her thoughts? Did he know she was replaying all the ways he’d thoroughly used her body the night before and hoping he’d do it again?
He pressed his thumb to the middle of her bottom lip like he’d done in her cabin the night before. Instinctively, her teeth released her lip, but she latched onto his thumb, sucking it into her mouth.
“Fuck, Corey,” he hissed.
That hiss traveled right to her core and sent pleasure tingling through her body.
“You have got to stop that,” he told her, tugging on his thumb, which only made the act more erotic.
Opening her mouth, she gave him the space he needed to pull out, but not before she swirled her tongue over the digit. She lifted to her toes and pressed her mouth against his ear. “Only if you promise to replace it with something else.”
“Fuck,” he groaned again. It was the only thing he said before he grabbed her hand and dragged her out of the club.
There was no laughing this time as she trailed behind him. She’d waited all day to have Seth again. Now that they were on their way to her room, her body trembled with anticipation.
“I promised myself last night was the only night that would be fast and hard,” he explained as they hurried to the stairs.
“Why?” she pouted. “I like fast and hard. Especially the way you do it.”
He stopped and spun her around, pinning her to the wall. Although people passed along the hall, coming and going to their night’s activities, he didn’t hesitate to press against her and crush his mouth to hers.
Every time Courtney kissed Seth, she found something new she liked about it. Even his gentle pecks were hot, but when he licked at her mouth slow and easy, mimicking the way he’d licked between her thighs the night before, then dove in, taking her hungrily, she had to fight not to drown in the sensations wracking her body.
“I think,” he spoke between kisses. “We should get to the room.” More kisses. “Quickly.”
“Smartest thing I’ve ever heard,” she replied breathlessly.
Trailing kisses down her neck, he finally pulled away and reached for her hand. As they ran-walked to her cabin, she wondered how she’d never felt this frantic with anyone else. Maybe she’d been right earlier today—maybe being with Seth was just new, especially after years of being alone. Eventually the euphoria would wear off. Just as it had with Kyle.
She shook the thought away as she waved her bracelet in front of the lock and pushed her way inside. There was only room for her and Seth inside her cabin. Ghosts of deceased husbands and all the baggage that came with them would have to wait for another day. Tonight, she only had room for Seth and the pleasure he’d give her.

As soon as they were inside Courtney’s cabin, Seth pounced. He’d been on the ragged edge of his control all day and now that he knew she wanted him again, he had no desire to keep his control in check. He pulled her against him and crushed his mouth to hers. A small whimper escaped her parted lips. He took advantage of the opening and slipped his tongue inside. Just the same way he wanted to slip into more intimate parts of her body.
Opening his eyes, he gazed down at her flushed face. Her eyes were closed and for a brief, jealous moment, he worried that it wasn’t him she saw behind her lids. The night before she’d watched as she slid down on him, but after, when he’d been behind her pounding out his release, he hadn’t seen her face. Did she think of him? Did she realizehewas the one bringing her such pleasure? Or was her mind lost in the memory of her husband?
Possessiveness reared its ugly head. Courtney was his. It didn’t matter if he’d only known her a week. Something about her called to him, and something in him answered that call and claimed her as his own. He’d make sure she knew who brought her pleasure tonight.
“Open your eyes,” he demanded.
Her gray eyes popped open. In their dark depths desire smoldered.
“Turn around.”
Her eyes widened. “What? Why?” But even as she asked, she was already turning.
“Look.” He gestured toward the mirror in front of her. “Watch.”
She shuffled away from the mirror, only to run into his hard body behind her.
“Watch,” he repeated.
