Stop. Josephine. He’s not yours. He’s only pretending to be loving and caring toward you. He doesn’t feel this way about you in real-time, and you need to stop thinking things like this.

Telling myself to stop reminds me that I need to stop allowing myself to get close to him. But, I have an issue hiding my actions. I’ve always been a terrible liar, the sort of person who can be read like an open book.

I can’t make it look like I don’t want to jump his bones every time he enters a room, and it’s even worse now that I know the softness of his lips.

I have to figure out a way to let him go. How can I move past my feelings and focus on the arrangement?

I lose myself in my thoughts and overlook the time passing me by. Before I know it, Aiden arrives back in our room.

Holy shit. Is he back already? How long have I been out here?

His footsteps are behind me, but I can’t tell if he’s walking to the bathroom or out onto the balcony with me. I turn around, startling when I realize he’s standing right behind me. Our eyes meet, and the lustful desire for his lips overtakes me again.

My heart is pounding when he doesn’t break eye contact, and I’m losing myself in his deep blue eyes all over again.

Stop. Focus on anything else. Don’t give in. You have to remember why you’re here!

Our eyes linger on each other for longer than I want, and something inside me tells me I need to walk away. I need to remove myself from this balcony before I do something stupid, and it ruins the whole thing.

My mind is telling me one thing, but my body is telling me another. I know the right decision is to listen to my head and get the hell off this balcony. But my body keeps insisting it wants to feel him, and it starts winning the internal argument.

He smiles at me, and it only causes the desire to grow,

“I’m going to bed. Goodnight, Aiden!” I blurt out. Flustered, I quickly walk past him, preparing to walk back inside. It takes everything to ignore my racing heart and just focus on getting into bed, but I try. Just as I cross the threshold inside, I feel his hand on my arm. Gently but effectively, he halts my movement.

My heart nearly skips a beat as he twirls me around to face him. I watch as he silently closes the door to the balcony behind him, nervous anticipation building in my core.

Our eyes meet again, and my deep desire for him seems to be reflecting right back at me in his own glance. My breathing gets heavy, and I want him so badly it almost hurts.

Suddenly, he grabs my waist and pulls me in closer to him. Our faces are inches apart, and I can feel his breath again.

God, why does he have to be so sexy?

The tension between us grows the longer we linger. Finally, we can’t hold back any longer. He leans into me, and our lips meet without a hint of hesitation. The orange glow and the sound of the waves behind us, combined with his lips on mine, is my idea of perfection.

Why does he have to be so irresistible? I have to stop after this kiss….

AIDEN

After pulling away from our kiss, I stare at Josephine. I look intensely into her sea-green eyes and search for anything that might clue me into her thoughts. The expression on her face leaves no doubt that she loves our embrace. But what does that mean?

I look her over and take in every single detail. Her beautiful brown skin is so smooth and flawless, it nearly sends me to insanity. I can’t help but notice her beautiful, long black hair and how it curtains her face.

“You are so sexy,” I murmur.

The desire inside me is boiling as I put my hand on her cheek. Her soft skin under my hand intoxicates me. I allow my thumb to trail down to her lips, taking every inch of her smooth skin as if I need it to survive.

My thumb follows the contours of her mouth ever so slightly. Josephine smiles at me, so I allow my finger to move lower and trace her jaw. I slide it down to her collarbone and continue to her breast.

Her smooth skin begins to goosebump from my touch. Every part of me wants her. Right here, right now. My veins feel like they’re throbbing with desire, craving every inch of her soft, glistening skin.

My desire to feel her begins taking me over completely. Any shred of self-restraint flies out the window as adrenaline mixes with my willingness, consuming me.

This woman’s perfect body drives me insane. I need her right now.

The thought of me giving Josephine pleasure increases my desire in a whole new way. My passion builds right alongside the tension between us, and I glance back up to meet her eyes again.
