“How could you? It’s…” I struggle to find the words and settle on, “It’s impossible to sum it up in one word.” Turning to him, I slide my arms around his waist and lean my cheek on his chest. “I know you don’t want me to thank you, but I’m going to anyway.” I rest my chin on his sternum, staring up at his striking face. “Thank you for having me here. I think it’s obvious from how Mal acted earlier that he would’ve been a complete nuisance for me to co-exist with, and you’ve spared me from dealing with him.”
“He’s not a nuisance, he’s an asshole. No man should make a woman purposely uncomfortable.”
“Yeah, I agree on both counts.”
His arms squeeze me tightly before he loosens his hold. “I’m going to leave you to unpack. If you need anything, give me a holler.” He walks toward the other end of the deck.
“Where are you going?” I ask.
“My room’s right next to yours.” He grins, pushing open the door and disappearing inside.
My heart races at the possibilities of having him right next door.Midnight rendezvous, anyone?
Dropping into one of the Adirondack chairs, I stretch my legs over the ottoman and peer out at the ocean. Kids and their parents play on the beach and in the shallow water. The waves are small today, so no one’s surfing. With the sea breeze wafting over my bare arms and legs, I close my eyes to enjoy its gentle caress. I haven’t felt this relaxed in ages. In fact, I can’t even remember the last time I felt this content.
I’m not a high-strung individual, but it seems like there’s always been something to worry about. When you’re in high school, you worry about getting good grades to get into the college of your choice. And I had the added pressure of earning scholarships. Once I moved on to college, my worries centered on doing well so I could keep my scholarships and also graduate on time. And since graduation, I’ve been focused on trying to get a job. But right now, at this moment, none of that matters.
With my eyes still closed, I tip my face toward the sun and smile. I’m happy to be here and for the opportunity to grow closer to Kaiden.

I glide through the warm pool water, then use my arms and legs to propel me forward once more. Stopping at the side, I grip the edge to keep myself afloat.
“Swimming at night feels so decadent. It’s the best thing ever,” I say.
He swims over, gripping the lip of the pool with both hands and caging me in. “I bet I can make it feel more decadent.”
“Is that so?” Shifting, I let go of the pool’s edge and wrap myself around him.
“It sounds like you’re challenging me, baby.” He rakes his bottom lip with his teeth. “Do you need me to prove how much fun we can have in this pool?”
“I don’t need you to prove anything to me, but I definitely needyou.” I cup his damp cheek with my hand. “I want you. I’m tired of waiting.”
With the pool lit only by moonlight and some strategically placed landscaping lights, his blue eyes are darker than usual, but I can tell they’re heated and focused on me with an intensity I feel between my legs.
“You don’t have to wait any more, baby. You already feel me here.” He places his hand over my heart. “And after tonight, you’ll feel me here too.” He places his hand between my legs, cupping me. “I’ll own every inch of you, won’t I, baby?”
His possessive words elicit a shiver from me. “Yes,” I whisper.”
“That’s my girl.” His lips crash into mine. What starts out as some sensual tongue tangling, quickly morphs into a ravenous hunger. With such a powerful spark between us, the flickers of desire grow, until it feels like I’m being consumed by flames from the inside out. I’m burning with a need only he can take care of.
Kaiden tears his mouth from mine and lifts me onto the edge of the pool. While I scramble to my feet, he pushes his upper body from the water, climbing out behind me. Catching hold of my hand, he directs me inside the back porch. We’re both leaving mini puddles of water wherever we step, but neither of us cares.
Lifting me off my feet, he lays me down on an upholstered rattan daybed. He straightens up, removes his bathing suit, and kneels between my legs.
Reaching behind me, I untie the strings on my bikini top. I tug the tiny scrap of red material away from my naked chest and throw it to the floor.
Kaiden’s large hands envelop my breasts, cupping and squeezing the soft flesh. His thumbs sweep over my nipples before he tugs on them, making each peak tauter. He glides his palms over my ribcage and stomach, stopping at the edge of my bikini bottoms. Hooking his fingers inside the wet material, he draws them down my legs and over my feet before they fall to the floor with a plop.
Sliding between my open thighs, Kaiden grips his cock, slapping it against my clit. He rubs the tip back and forth between my lips, coating it in my arousal. I feel the head pressing at my entrance and then the pressure of him slowly sliding inside of me. Inch by inch, my pussy stretches to swallow his cock, until he’s embedded to the hilt.
Groaning, he holds still for a bit, allowing me to adjust to his size. “Christ, you’re so fucking tight.” He lowers until his chest meets mine and then braces his weight on his forearms.
“Please move,” I say, wrapping my legs around his waist. I rock my hips up into him. “I need you.”
“You have me, baby.” He rolls his hips, stroking impossibly deeper. “Here I am.” He draws his hips back, then rockets forward, driving into me.
“Yes,” I say, digging my nails into the skin on his shoulders.
