But within twenty-four hours, it had all come crashing down…
Don’t think.
I wrapped my arms around him as tight as I could, twining a leg around his hip to urge him closer still.
He was all lean, hard heat, his skin dusted with sand and salt, his short dark hair mussed from the ocean and my fingers. He smelled like the outdoors, sharp and masculine.
When he broke the kiss, I whimpered and tried to pull him back.
The corner of his mouth lifted in a maddening smirk. “Easy, sweetheart. There’s no hurry.”
He lifted onto his hands and knees to crouch over me. His hands moved knowingly over my body. Electric sparks shot from my breasts to my womb. I shivered with sheer pleasure, and he frowned.
“Let’s get these wet things off.” He helped me out of the bra and boyshorts, then removed his own shorts and lay back on top of me. Now it was just skin to skin, the two of us warming each other.
He licked his way across my breasts. He hadn’t shaved, and his stubbled jaw abraded my tender skin in an exciting way. Sharp teeth scraped over my nipple.
I braced for a bite, but instead, he sucked on the tightly furled tip. I went hot, then cold, my body overwhelmed with sensation.
I bit my lip and dug my nails into his back, trying not to cry out, aware that Andre or one of his men were probably listening.
Gabriel gave my nipple another hard suck and then moved to the other one. His mouth closed over me, warm and wet. Pleasure arrowed straight to my clit.
I couldn’t hold back anymore. I bucked and moaned, a soft, needy cry.
He put a hand on my hips and pressed me back to the blanket. Hovering above my body so that I could feel his cock, a slight, teasing pressure when I wanted all of him.
He licked the underside of my breast. “You want me.”
I slid my fingers into the heavy silk of his hair, stroked his nape. “You know I do.”
“No, I don’t know that.” He stilled to look up at me. “You left, remember.” His voice was expressionless, but a muscle worked in his jaw.
My chest squeezed. I’d known I’d hurt him, but I was just beginning to understand how much. “I’m sorry.”
There are some things you just can’t apologize for. Gabriel must have thought so, too, because he ignored me to continue, “I used to think about what I’d do if you came back. Picture all the ways I’d punish you.”
“I’m sorry,” I said again. “But you know it was for the best.”
A low growl. “Best for who, damn it?”
I opened my mouth, but he set a hand on my lips. “No, don’t answer. You’ll just lie to me, and I can take anything but that.”
Hurt stabbed me. I sucked in a breath.
You, I said in my mind.It was best for you.
His eyes shuttered, but he didn’t apologize, just released my mouth and resumed kissing my breasts.
Pleasure danced over me. God, I ached for him. But not like this.
I turned my head to stare out at the ocean. “Fuck you,” I said wearily.
He gave a dark chuckle that rippled straight to my core. “Oh, you will fuck me, Mila. Any way I want.” He slid a hand between my legs, testing my wetness. “You’re ready now, aren’t you?”
I stubbornly set my mouth. Lord, this was messed up.
Me lying to him.
