I see the generous living area and two doors over to one side, bedrooms side by side, but I try not to think too much about that. Burying the butterflies that erupt in my belly at the thought of sleeping so close to Nathan, I continue toward the far side of the room. I’m drawn to the breath-taking expanse of sea and sand just below. Resting my fingertips on the cool glass, with my nose almost against the window, I can’t believe what I’m seeing. It’s perfect. Even in my wildest dreams, I never imagined seeing something as beautiful as this in person. The luxurious room is spectacular, but it’s what’s outside that appeals to me.

“Maya,” Nathan calls to get my attention before he gestures to the open sliding door beside me. Practically running, I dash outside and then I see it, a small private pool with two sun loungers beside it. Just for us.

“This is incredible!”

I’m stunned. The sun warms my skin, and the soothing sound of gently crashing waves instantly puts me at ease. I close my eyes and take a deep breath, imagining myself chilling out here with a good book while Nathan does his thing. This is going to be heaven.

A wall of firm muscle presses against my back as Nathan steps in behind me and places a hand on either side of mine, caging me in against the terrace wall I’m peering over. His thumbs wrap around my pinkie fingers, and he rests his chin on the top of my head.

He says nothing, just holds me close, and lets me soak up the view. Our breaths synchronise with each other’s, and time stands still as we stay there, taking it all in. I already knew this trip was going to be life-changing, but he’s opening my eyes to all the adventures we could have together.

It’s perfect. This place, this view. Him.

I want to trust that it will all be okay, but I can’t yet. I can see it, though. A glimpse of a life that could be as amazing as this. Could it be as simple as letting this man into my life completely and allowing myself to trust that I truly belong to another?

Maybe after all I’ve been through, this is what I need. And what I deserve.

Angling my head to the side to look up at Nathan, I giggle when he looks down and kisses the tip of my nose. If it keeps going like this, he's right. I won't be able to hold out. Because mate or not, I already feel myself falling for him.

CHAPTER 25

NATHAN

The next two days are just for us. Originally, I hadn’t planned to be here this early, so I’ve got no meetings organised until Wednesday. It’s bliss. I can’t remember the last time I had a proper holiday.

Cooper and I have been working hard to put our own stamp on things and expand the businesses we own and run. The brewery he opened with Ethan has been an enormous success, even without Ethan around anymore to charm the patrons. But it’s the construction business which has become the real cash cow for the pack. The expansion of the building business has been my baby for the last few years. I’m here to meet with the new owners of a hotel further along the beach and discuss their plans for refurbishment. Shifters prefer to deal with other shifters where they can, and the local pack doesn’t seem to have the workforce to take on such an extensive job, but we do.

After a few hours of Maya torturing me on the beach with that little white bikini, we’ve ordered dinner outside on our terrace, away from the noise and hustle and bustle of the hotel restaurant. I tangle my fingers with Maya’s as we lie in the gentle evening sun, side by side on our loungers as we stare out at the ocean. I don’t think I’ve ever been so content.

Glancing over at her, I feel a swell of pride. Her glowing skin has already picked up a bit of sun, and the satiny sheen of sun lotion makes her toned limbs look sexy and I’d struggle to resist the urge to stroke every inch of exposed flesh. She slides to the end of the lounger and stands, giving me a perfect view of her glorious backside before sauntering close to the water’s edge and letting her loose cover up fall from her shoulders. She tosses it onto a chair before stepping down onto the first step, letting the water swirl around her feet. As she slips further into the pool, she crooks her finger at me invitingly, a naughty smile on her lips.

Pushing away from the edge, she ducks under the water and as she does, the round globes of her ass break the surface and I groan. I’m only a man. There’s no way I can say no to that.

By the time she comes back up for air, swiping back her black hair as she rises, I’m already right behind her. She gasps when I capture her around the waist and lift her in my arms. When I spin her around to face me, she grips me around the hips with her legs and leans back, exposing the long column of her neck and her wet, glistening breasts to my view.

Reaching out, I drag my hand from her neck, down between her breasts and across her toned stomach. Her hair fans out around her in the water, and she smiles as I dip a finger just inside the waistband of that teeny bikini that she knows I love to hate. When I move lower, my fingertip grazing her bare slit, she jerks and pulls herself up, wrapping her arms around my neck and soaking my bare chest with the drips running down her skin.

“Nathan!”

Maya pretends to be shocked by my love of PDA, but even though we’re outside, we’re private here. It’s the best of both worlds.

“Nobody can see us. Our neighbours might get an earful if they’re outside, but only if you can’t keep quiet.”

Her legs clamp tighter around me, and I know she likes the idea. No matter how much she pretends to be a good girl, Maya has a wild streak inside her, just dying to be let out.

Licking a rivulet of water slowly rolling down her breasts, I walk her over to the edge of the pool and set her down, legs still dangling in the water. It’s only waist deep, so I stand over her, pushing her chest so she’s flat to the ground, and continue to kiss every inch of her body.

“Eyes on the ceiling, baby.”

I grip her bikini bottoms and slowly tug them to the side, out of my way. Covering her with my body, I take her lips and at the same time, push two fingers deep inside her. She tries to curl up, but I’m blocking her, so she clings to me instead, digging her nails into my shoulders as I lazily stroke in and out of her sweet pussy.

“Remember, no noise Maya. Otherwise, anyone else sitting outside enjoying their evening is going to know you’re letting me stroke your pussy, and what a naughty girl you are.”

She clenches around me, and I grin in victory. I knew she’d like that.

“Or maybe you want that. Maybe you want everyone to know you’re a dirty girl who likes to be finger fucked where anyone can hear her moan.”

“Please,” she cries, pushing her hips up to meet my slow thrusts in frustration. Feeling smug, I speed up my movements and growl when my fingers are drenched by another gush of her delicious juices.
