I’d hoped to run into Elise at the tiki bar, but never expected to end up in her hotel room. It’d been a hot minute since I’d been with a woman—and never one like Elise.

Smart. Funny. Gorgeous as hell.

And if you keep thinking like this, you’re gonna scare yourself right outta here.

Elise shuts the door and now the room is dark, save for the soft glow of the patio light and an occasional flash of lighting out over the ocean. The rain patters against the sliding glass door and Elise’s warm breath dusts my shoulder.

“We could be here a while,” I say.

“That’s okay. I don’t have any other plans.” She tosses her clutch on the side table and steps out of her sandals, her calves tanned and toned. I want to run my hand up her leg, all the way up her thigh…

“Smith? You want a towel?” Elise asks, pulling me from my daydream.

“Uh, sure.”

She heads to the bathroom and I stare at her perfectly round ass, outlined in her now-skintight dress. I shift from foot to foot, debating my next move. I’m probably overthinking this entire thing. I should channel some of Parker’s energy and just go for it.

“Here you go.” Elise sashays back from the bathroom, handing me a fluffy white towel. Our fingertips brush and a spark zings up my arm, my body tensing.

Without another thought, I step forward and sweep strands of wet hair away from her face. Her breath catches as she gazes up at me through lowered lashes, and the only sound in the room is the rain splashing against the window. She licks her lips and I need to taste her. I lower my mouth to hers and then we’re kissing, my hands cupping her face, and all I know is I can hardly breathe. I’m intoxicated with this woman, and it’s like nothing I’ve ever felt before.

My hands move from her face to her neck, bringing her in even closer to me, and then my fingers are tangled up in her damp hair and I’m rock-fucking-hard for her. Her hands fist in the wet cotton of my shirt and I’m unbuttoning as fast as I can, stripping the fabric away. The towel drops to the floor, along with my shirt, and a light giggle escapes her lips.

“What’s so funny?” I break away, staring down at the light splash of freckles across the bridge of her nose.

“Nothing. It’s just—we’re so wet, we made a puddle on the floor. And I’m going to be honest with you.” Pink floods her cheeks and I lace my fingers with hers, urging her to talk to me.

“Okay.”

“I haven’t been with anyone else in a long time. The ink is barely dry on my divorce papers. And I’ve had two kids. You can still run, you know. No hard feelings.”

Her words hit me, low and deep in my gut.

“It’s okay. Really. Go.”

“No,” I say, running my thumb over her silky-smooth cheek. “Not a chance. I’m going to be honest with you.” I lock eyes with her, my cock pulsing in my pants. “Ever since you stepped into the bar, I haven’t stopped thinking about you.”

She sucks in a deep breath, a tiny smile pulling at the corner of her pretty pink mouth. “Really?”

I nod. “Really. Now can you let me have my fantasy?”

Elise smiles wide, her teeth dazzling in the darkness. “No one’s fantasized about me in quite a while, I’m sure.”

“Ha. You’ve gotta be fucking kidding me. Every guy at the tiki hut tonight checked you out. You have no idea.” I move in closer to her, running my nose down the long line of her neck, inhaling her floral scent. Chill bumps rise on her skin and I kiss my way down, licking along her still-damp skin. She shivers, and I peel her out of her dress until she’s standing in only her pale pink bra and panties.

“Gorgeous,” I say, eyeing her as she blushes, color creeping across her chest. Pulling her to me, I run my hands up and down her skin, trying to memorize every curve of her body, every dip. I want to know her body as well as I know my own and there isn’t enough time.

“Smith,” she murmurs, as I dip between her breasts, nuzzling in between her curves.

“Mmm…”

“I’m too old for you.”

I drag myself up from her chest, grabbing her by her wrists. “Do I seem bothered by age right now?”

“No,” she whispers.

“Exactly. I’m a grown-ass man and trust me—I know what I want. And that is you.”
